Trends and News – The Site of the Season

April 28th // Comment Here

The fact that net-a-porter.com is known as the fashion editors’ favorite website should come as no surprise: It’s the brainchild of a brilliant and glamorous… fashion editor (Natalie Massenet, shown here). Fans speak with hushed reverence about the site’s occasional sales, so I had to cheer when I saw that net-a-porter has officially launched its long-awaited, bargain-minded sister site: theOutnet.com – which offers the same peerless, inventive style at up to 80% off. It’s a thrilling source for inspiration… and the occasional splurge.

Some highlights:


Oscar de la Renta Taffeta Embroidered Dress
$2,995 (was $5,990)

Christian Louboutin Yasmine Cork Wedges
$477 (were $795)

Matthew Williamson Multi-colored Tiered Necklace
$305.50 (Was $609)

Fashion Tips – Loren vs. Bridesmaid Dresses — Round 1

April 8th // 3 Comments

Wedding season has come early this year, bringing with it the epic-long battle over what to wear—particularly when it comes to bridesmaids. I truly believe that the best bridesmaid dresses are not actually bridesmaid dresses. They are universally cute (and wedding appropriate!) dresses that you can and will, in fact, wear again. Below are my top 5 styles for every wedding theme you can imagine. Let me know what you think.

For the City Wedding: BCBG, $260 at Bloomingdales

For the Garden Wedding: Maggy London, $128 at Macy’s

For the Hippie-Chic Wedding: Adrianna Papell, $198 at Dillards


For the Country Wedding: Spiegel, $79

For the Hawaiian Wedding: Tibi, $270 at Net-A-Porter

Love,
Loren

Trends and News – Incredibly Shrinking Sunglasses

March 27th // Comment Here

After years of watching the size of sunglasses explode into near bug-eye proportions, I’m happy to see the trend take another, more manageable turn this season. The relaunch of Ray-Ban’s iconic Clubmaster sunglasses has spawned a rather devoted following in no time flat with their colorful array of small, gold-rimmed frames—Diane Kruger and Chloe Sevigny have both been sporting a pair. And already, the trend seems to be exploding: Linda Farrow has a gold-platted version that takes the look in a more sophisticated direction, while Dior’s boxy style gives it a sporty edge. It’s okay to own multiple pairs of sunglasses, right? Because there’s no way I could possibly pick just one, right?

Linda Farrow Luxe Luxe gold-plated glasses available from Net-A-Porter.com for $525


Ray-Ban Clubmaster sunglasses also available from Net-A-Porter.com for $130

Christian Dior Black Tie 35 Sunglasses

Christian Dior Black Tie 35 sunglasses, was $220, now $119 (45% off) at Smartbargains.com

So which type of sunglasses do you prefer?

Much love,
Loren

File this one under “fashion centsible!” Next month, Net-A-Porter (one of my favorite stores by the way), plans on launching theOutnet.com, a discount site. While the term “discount” in the fashion industry is often synonymous with lesser brands and lesser quality, theOutnet.com will carry clothes from designers like Christian Louboutin, Diane von Furstenberg, Hervé Leger, Alberta Ferretti, Chloé and Oscar de la Renta. They also plan on selling clothing and accessories between 40% and 60% off!

I’m definitely excited about this new site from Net-A-Porter and can’t wait for it to launch! How about you?

Love,
Loren
