Get the London Look

Thursday, April 28th, 2011

Twiggy Then

For the past couple of weeks there has been such an obsession with the British lads. Everyone has been trying to be a part of the new British trend, but let’s bring it back to when the trend began. I came across some looks that were from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s that caught my attention—the housewife dress, the wide leg pants, and printed tops.

Twiggy was the face of the 60’s. At 16, she became the first prominent British teenage model. She was known for her androgynous looks, large eyes, long eyelashes, thin build, and short hair. The advertisement with her on the bus in London flashed through my mind. She was promoting clothing on the streets from Marks and Spencer. I wondered on April 28th, 2011, “What is Twiggy up to?” Well Bloggies, Twiggy Lawson, former judge on American’s Next Top Model, has her own clothing and accessories line: Twiggy London. She recently launched her own array of bed linens: Twiggy Bed Linen Collection. And surprisingly she has an album which was previously shelved that Twiggy recorded in 1979

There was a release of a previously shelved album that Twiggy recorded in 1979; Heaven in my eyes, a discotheque, contained the eight original tracks and four remixes. Great success she is.

London is the new look so we will keep the obsession alive.

These Boots Are Made For Walkin’

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

It’s time to give your flip-flops the boot! 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!

Ruffle Bags Are On The Horizon!

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

Function over fashion has never sat well with us; why can’t we have both?! 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!!

Art For Art’s Sake?

Monday, August 16th, 2010

The August 2010 issue of Italian Vogue, which hit stands August 3rd, is shaping up to be quite the controversial issue. 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…

Lanvin Taking The Coasts By Storm

Monday, August 9th, 2010

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!

Chelsea’s Big Day!

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

Never mind the near $3 million tab ($11,000 on a cake?!) and the indignant community of Rhinebeck, the highlight of Chelsea Clinton’s wedding was, without a doubt, her custom made Vera Wang dress. 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??
