3.1 Phillip Lim’s Resort collection has just arrived and with it arrived one of our favorite dresses of the year: his buff dot bralette dress.  It is actually two dresses in one – very sophisticated with a little French style referencing as well!  The trapeze silk top has beautiful paillette dots and is completely detachable from the rest of the dress.  Once removed the dress reveals to a more daring version of itself: black lace bra top which is open in the back except for the bra strap.  Paired with a cute black cardi or black blazer this is a great dress for an evening out – I plan to wear it with black tights to work with a cardigan.  With the attacheable top,  I will be wearing it to one of my upcoming holiday parties! I love the color choice of Phillip Lim, the nude/buff color: it is very sophisticated, modern, and not in your face.  This is a great foreshadowing to all of the nudes that have been shown for Spring 2010 and this dress certainly can be worn through spring. In fact, all of the dresses we received from Lim’s resort collection feature exposed bralette detailing which is such a fun evolution for his collection! All of the dresses are very wearable from an amazing black sweater dress to a watercolor printed cocktail dress and cotton resort black polka dot dress – they are currently all featured in our window – more blogging to come about this collection as it is so amazing – I can’t say enough about Phillip Lim’s design genius!

Accessory Obsession: Loeffler Randall Patent Python Boot

NEW: Loeffler Randall Patent Python Matilde Boot

NEW: Loeffler Randall Patent Python Matilde Boot

Our new Loeffler Randall Mid-Winter/Resort Collection just arrived and we are LOVING where LR has taken us.  They have appealed to our base wild side with debut of their new Patent Python Matilde Boot (above).  It is just the boot that will surely make us feel a bit more adventurous and uninhibited every time we wear it. THANK YOU LR for making a flat boot that as always have our feet thanking us profusely AND also for bringing us this dangerously alluring finish to not only our jeans and leggings but also all of the great LBD’s and leggy looks this season has us styling ourselves in day and night!

Introducing Luxe Knitwear Designer//Brochu Walker

Introducing Brochu WalkerThanks to  cashmere designer, Brochu Walker, our layering this season just became super luxe and very stylish.  Each of their pieces are organically inspired drawing from the natural environment around us.  Colors are subtle, drawn from nature. Textures, super soft and inviting, their designs are timeless and classic.  The heritage wrap (shown above) is our favorite for this season. Trimmed in a silk collar, this cardigan can easily be worn open over a dress for an evening out, over denim for our daily ventures, or paired with the great suede studded belt sold with the wrap (BONUS: love the belt!). This cardigan is super versatile, chic, and probably won’t spend much time in our closets this season!

Yesterday not one but two celebrities were photographed wearing Smythe’s Black Equestrian Coat.  This coat which also happens to be in our window this week, is an evolution from Smythe’s Equestrian Blazer that has become synonymous with the label and their cult following in the industry.  We love that it was photographed in two completely different ways (left) with Blake Lively looking stunning pairing it over a black gown for an elegant evening look, while Katy Perry styled it over leggings for a much more Downtown everyday look.  This is why we loved this coat at first sight as well because it is that perfect black coat that takes you anywhere during the season and never fails to standout in a super chic way.  Pop the collar, pair it with a scarf, a stunning necklace – whatever your preference again Smythe is never just a jacket.

We were planning on blogging about this dress today and of course now seeing that it is featured on Kristen Stewart for Harper’s Bazaar in this amazing gothic romantic photoshoot (click the image above to see their shoot) we had to share our increasing obsession about this dress.  We immediately featured it in our window yesterday when it arrived in the store.  Heads have been turning and coming in to find out whose dress it is.

Denim Chic: Alexander Wang Resort 2009

A. Wang Denim Combo Dress

A. Wang Denim Combo Dress

We love how denim has  made such a chic comeback in the industry. Many of our designers are having fun with denim accents this season going forward through resort and spring/summer 2010 (can you believe we are actually talking about 2010 already!?)   Of course one of the sexiest denim chic styles we have seen just arrived today as a part of Alexander Wang’s resort collection (above).  This is the perfect balance of the sexy draping that is synonymous with Alex’s pieces combined with a bit of the classic All-American.  The draped tissue weight skirt is uber-sexy cinched in at the waist with a black ribbed waistband.   Now as skirt this is of course fabulous, but we know Alexander Wang better than this so of course he has taken this look to the next level with the denim button down bodice that is attached to the skirt.  This a SUPER CHIC dress that can be worn to work, out to dinner, or paired with our Camilla Skovgaard Chastity Shoe (check out our blog archive) this dress will certainly conquer practically any moment that requires being the best dressed!
