Nude Pantyhose Make For Great Statement Jewelry
We're so impressed with UK jewelry designer, Maria Lau, and her usage of hosiery as a material in woven jewelry. If we remember correctly, a few other designers have been playing around with this concept recently, but Maria Lau's inventive pieces are surely all her own. What makes us really want to run out and buy one is seeing them styled (left) with an all-nude ballerina-like outfit. There couldn't be a stronger look for summer and a statement necklace is definitely an important element in making it happen. Click on the link above to shop Lau's jewelry.

Monochromatic outfits are popular for spring and there is no better example than the head-to-toe nude looks that came down this season's runways. Matching shades can be difficult, so don't worry too much that they be exact. Just keep your eye out for great nude separates and by the time the weather turns, you'll have your look ready to go.

Investment Piece: Ten Earth-Tone Platform Sandals
feature · December 18, 2008 · 0 Comments
When it comes to making an investment in fashion it's always a bonus when the item you fancy calls up more than one trend at a time. In this case, an earth-tone platform sandal calls up the palette of Spring 09 and the shape of the must-have shoe at once. What's more, even though these shoes are, by definition, 'trendy', they still look classic and somewhat refined--if you're going to walk in 5" platforms, better keep the color somewhat understated. Check out our favorites in the gallery below, with pricing information and where to buy credited under each picture. For examples on the Spring 2009 runway, check out our trend report from the Paris shows, entitled "50 Pairs of Fabulous Shoes".

Immaterial: Courtney Crawford Multi Color Pump in Nude, Red, and Black
April 21, 2008 · 1 Comment
Courtney Crawford wants his designs to be "repulsively attractive". The St. Louis native is one of the golden 'beautiful people'; an award Paper Mag bestows on New York's movers and shakers. His career is thriving and, in case the quote didn't tip you off, in a somewhat unconventional manner. The Multi Color Pump in Nude, Red, and Black perhaps best symbolizes Crawford's aesthetic, one part trend focused (nude), one part vamp (red piping), and one part unpredictable New Yorker (the heel, baby). So far his designs do not seem to be repulsive in the least (nor is their price point) but alas, something that sexy could also be described as vulgar and then, just a few steps down the road, repulsive. Looks like Crawford has beat the the press to the chase which could mean the designer's in for a long run. Nothing, afterall, spells staying power than a shoe designer who can think on his feet.

The Color Of Summer: Acid Green
April 11, 2008 · 1 Comment
We talked to a few buyers and showroom reps about our noticing that acid green has cropped up in more than one place for Spring 08. A color like this, admittedly, doesn't lend itself to an all-out craze. The fact is, acid green is appearing as much as it ever will, on everything from accessories to frocks. It's a good time for the fad, if you look at the rest of what's appearing on the palate for Spring 08. Nudes especially are an appropriate compliment to acid green, and there are few colors you can say that about. A really nice representation of this color trend, which may convince you that it's not so bad after all, is Jenny Yuen's handbag range for Spring 08. It's something we need to take in doses, and that's perfectly fine for fashion.
John Galliano Gave Us The Crazy Eye
March 7, 2008 · 0 Comments
Whoa buddy. John Galliano's Fall 2008 collection was mimicked by it's makeup. That is, painted eyes reflected the palate of the collection and put power behind typically whimsical colors. When you think of salmon and periwinkle, you think of sherbet and slip dresses. When you see the John Galliano crazy eye, you think of a Davie Bowie circus warrior. Just how exactly, does this makeup translate to real life? We're betting on modest colored lids and fake eyelashes, maybe a nude lip to balance things out. Take John Galliano, turn down the volume and kick out the freeloaders, and you've got yourself something chic and optimistic happening for Fall. Thank god, another plum dress (no offense, darling) and we would have thrown in the Fall 08 towel.
