This season, there are a ton of “summer boots” out that look amazing with sundresses, cutoffs and everything in-between! They’re an edgy, fashion-forward way to spice up any outfit; and bonus- you can carry them over to fall by adding a cute pair of tights or thick socks! Double duty is all the more reason to snag a pair today!

Well ladies, now you can!

AprilMarin will be introducing the new ruffle bag which is not only roomie enough for everything you tote around (believe me, I know how much stuff we manage to stick in our purses) but it’s also made out of 100% cotton so it’s machine washable! Adorable AND practical?! I’ll take 2!!

*Keep an eye out for pictures to come!!

The topic in question? A photo spread shot by Steven Meisel which plays upon the recent Gulf oil spill. The editorial has received split reveiws; is it high fashion or just plain insensitive?

Tell us what you think…

The oldest French fashion house in operation now has it’s sights set on American coast to coast operations. With retail stores already in Florida and Las Vegas, the famed house has just opened up a 3,550 square foot store in New York City and another is on the way in California; The 6,000 square foot space will be on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills and is set to open in December. The highlight? An underground VIP entrance for celebrity clients dodging the paparazzi. Lucky for us, Lanvin has a line of perfumes that are just as popular and decidedly more affordable than the clothing!

Wang has become almost synonymous with celebrity wedding gowns, and she definitely did the title proud with this one-

What do you think of the gown??

The 90’s sensation took a nose dive for almost 2 decades, but it seems to be resurfacing  as a hot item. We have to admit, there are some cute styles out there, like this heavy metal pouch by Rebecca Minkoff ($245, shopbop.com)-

But is it cute enough to revive this trend? Tell us what you think!
