My Empty Closet drooled over color from the Marni Spring 09 collection. Talk about eye candy!

Senora Cartera writes about Zara Terez handbags and we discover the designer's Sunset Park Satchel seems a very nice alternative to a PS1 handbag

Chic & Untroubled reports on a Dr. Martins collaboration in the pipeline--unfortunately, the shoes are not for sale but, thanks to Vivienne Westwood and Rick Owens, you'll want to check them out anyway.  

A Look We Love: Retro Skirts

Les Prairies des Paris Little Monta Skirt Was $255 Now $175 @ Gargyle, Spot Stripe Mini Skirt $65 @ Topshop
We love the late 80's vibe of these mini skirts and think this era in fashion is going to be big again for Spring. Take a look at the Spring 09 collections of brands like Obedient Sons & Daughters, Lyn Devon, or Opening Ceremony and you'll see a distinct nod to this time in fashion. Pair these skirts with a buttoned-up blouse and a one-sided mane and you'll be the most fashionable kid at school--we promise!

Quote Of The Day: Bill Blass On How He Began His Career

· January 5, 2009 · 0 Comments

I grew up in the Depression, when you could go to the movies on a Saturday afternoon for 15 cents and see Carole Lombard, Marlene Dietrich, and Greta Garbo. I knew that making clothes for people of that sort could be the most exciting thing in the world.

Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation Winner Lyn Devon

· January 5, 2009 · 0 Comments

Lyn Devon's understanding of cool, American sportswear has made her the recipient of a Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation award this year.. Devon, a 23 year old New York native, got her started working for Zac Posen and Ralph Lauren before launching her own label in 2005. Since then the designer has been quickly gaining momentum with positive reviews from WWD and Style.com in addition to countless magazines credits. Her Spring 2009 collection featured practical sportswear-inspired pieces that balanced masculine and feminine silhouettes beautifully. Devon often refers to her range as 'no-nonsense' and we find that sentiment to be well-timed indeed. Check out her Spring 2009 look book right here

We're not sure if we're ready to make the plunge but we're always ready to window shop. Check out our favorites, above.
