We know it's been a long, content-rich week, what with our new President and all, so here's a wind-down before you go off and enjoy a weekend plentiful with brunches, naps, and movie watching...
Hello Lover...Shoe Daydreams gives a few sequined accessories a bit of attention. Her love is so deep she's switched over to "paillettes" and, given her choices, we can understand why.
Fashion First Lunch Later clued us in to a an e-commerce sale not to miss--thirty percent off the Fall 2008 DVF collection isn't anything to scoff at.
Style Bubble brings some positive energy to sample sale shopping. It's that attitude, not the sale, that makes us want to fly to London immediately.
Fashion Binge finds out that an ol' childhood fav is reinventing itself by going back to its roots. Tennis racket covers, unfortunately, still sourced via eBay.
Earlier this week at Mao Pr we checked out the Aurelio Costarella Spring 2009 collection as part of our In The Showroom press preview series. Costarella, as was explained to us in the preview, did sequins before they were a 'thing' and so we saw two shining examples of his skill in this area. Forget thoughtless costumery, these frocks were adorned with sequins of different sizes, shapes, and colors creating a fabric of their own and making those high street versions feel way off the mark in comparison. Otherwise, Costarella kept with super-tailored but still feminine coats and cocktail dresses and added in some brilliant marker-color separates that gave life to his new collection. Check out our photos from the showroom below, and, his entire Spring 2009 collection on the runway right here.
Yes, you're hearing us right, we've found the culmination of all of our Fall 08 desires in the form of one single pair of trousers, namely, the Siwy Hannah trousers in (wait for it) SEQUINS! We remember it like it was yesterday, we sat down to watch the YSL Fall 08 show and caught a glimpse of the outfit that just about did it for us; those voluminous sequined trousers would forever be burned into our minds. Months later we realized the weight of the sequin trend and set about putting a sequined somethingorother on our Fall 08 shopping list. And then we found the sequined Hannah pants from a brand we already love (just check the tag) and in a very flattering slim cropped drainpipe cut. The only question remaining in our minds is whether to size up and how the other e-commerce sites plan to style these magic pants--because the white tank and platforms kind of miss the mark.
