Blame it on Mad Men. The uber-feminine, ladylike style a la the 1950’s is making a serious comeback - just take a look at these stills from the Louis Vuitton Fall 2010 show. My favorite part about this trend? It flatters all body types!
Pulling off this look is all in the details:
Kate Spade Casie $298
Macy’s, Charter Club Cotton A-line Skirt $33.74
Target Shiraleah Harper Zipper Satchel $34.99
Neiman Marcus, Ray Ban Clubmaster Sunglasses $139

There have been guesses, hints and teasers all over the Internet this week, but now we can say it is absolutely official: H&M’s next designer collaboration is with celebrity-favored brand Lanvin! The collection, on sale November 23rd in H&M stores worldwide, will include both womenswear and menswear.
Lanvin pieces at H&M prices? I cannot wait :)

I just received this fabulous sneak peek from the Ports 1961 Spring Summer 2011 collection and I must admit, I am in love with this sketch! The asymmetrical lines and earthy hue have me anxiously awaiting their runway show during New York Fashion Week! Take a look:
“This season, Ports 1961 designer, Fiona Cibani, draws inspiration from the magic allure of the desert. With
delicate mirage abstractions and a landscape in constant evolution as her muse, Fiona crafts a collection within a realm of harmonic contrasts.”
Gorgeous, no? Very modern and chic.

The blog world has been buzzing about – well, you’ve probably already guessed from the title of this post – shoes with fur trim! There are many a pair of booties, platforms and flats this season adorned with this new trend and while some are sexy, others look a bit strange.

Nordstrom, YSL Palais Goat Fur Trim Suede Platform $880
Urban Outfitters, Matt Bernson Pony Loafer $148
What’s your take?

And there you have it! Do you plan on purchasing a faux fur vest, skinny cargo pants, a surplus jacket, sheer lace tops, varsity sweaters, rugged booties, anything red, a leather skirt, a nordic sweater or something camel-colored??
Let me know your favorite(s) in the comment section!

Shown below are two new ads featuring the gorgeous plus-size model, Crystal Renn. Does anyone else find it strange that her entire figure is included in the Jean Paul Gaultier fall campaign, however, only her face is used in the Chanel photo?
(FYI – Chanel hired her for the reopening of their Soho store – not to model their fall line)
What’s your take on plus-size models? Crystal is only a size 10!
Love,
Loren
