Yesterday at her men’s fashion show for Versace,  Donatella wore one of the pieces, a body hugging leather studded dress down the catwalk to a crowd of clapping and ecstatic front-rowers. “Very sexy” she says.

The collection is set to hit stores Novemeber 17th. Promises to be Glamour and Rock’n Roll.

What do you guys think?

I love the use of the polka dot blue and red scarf here, with stripe socks.

Another socks and sandal combo – would you wear socks and sandals?

Dual color block sandals comme Prada, gotta love it

Navajo prints and fringe bags – hippie chic anyone? Hey didn’t I see like a hundred people dressed like this at Coachella?

They’ve been in the news recently because of their collaboration with Vanessa Traina to launch a capsule collection. She is also daughter of Novelist Danielle Steel and the face of their recent print ad campaign.

According to racked.com “The Vanessa Traina x Maje collaboration line features 14 basic pieces in Parisian jet-black and a splash of crisp white and accented with bits of alluring lace trim and feminine draping. The price points are on the affordable side of contemporary designer chic—adorable silk short-shorts are $155, tapered trousers are $235 and a long cami asymmetrical dress is $265.”

As a long time fan of Maje,I was very inspired by their all red magazine campaign and excited about their Spring Summer 2011 collection; reds, maxi skirts, and the seasons mix of girly prints in light shades of pink and powdery blues.

THE SPRING / SUMMER 2011 COLLECTION

I wanted to update you all on what’s in store for their Spring Summer 2011 collection. Think Maxi skirts, florals, pale pinks, nudes and lots of white. I love how they always seem to create collections were all the pieces sync with pieces from previous collections; in that you can mix and match for years, it’s timeless, feminine and fun.

Parisian brand Surface to Air has made its mark in the apparel and accessories industry  with its contemporary fashion for men and women.

Not to mention they dish out killer heels every season.

Don’t believe me, take a look around almost every streetsyle blog and lookbook and you’ll soon see their classic Buckle Sandals “partout”.  For a brand that’s only been around since 2000, it’s already made some major waves.

Who needs marketing when you have a good product, right?!

I’m in love with their recent Editorial done by Surface to Air Brasil. Not only does it play with the  seasons “must-have” all denim look, it’s a juxtaposition of  the woman as a bad-ass in a “typical” male role!

And I think this Ad has put the male model Sacha M’Baye on the models-to-watch radar for many people.

I shot this photo above while riding my bike around – its the ad used as a scaffolding for a building here in Paris overlooking La Seine river last week. I’m finally posting it, because I’ve since realized that Burberry also did a Video Lookbook. And it’s too cute not to share here.

So here we go.

I have a strong feeling we’ll be seeing a version of this at your nearest Zara…Yes, please!

The Rachel Roy Fall 2011 collection is like how you dress when you really get crazy with your layers in the cold. I love that its a bit anti-fashion, the clash of mixed fabrics, patterns and prints.

This blue crochet dress shall be mine! Rachel Roy was pushing the daisies a bit with this season and I think the color bock of purple and sky blue are risky but when paired with a crochet chanel-esque blazer it says that you’re a definite risk taker with style.

Below the hem skirts and dresses – just like I love it. I have really long limbs but sometime I feel ridiculous in a mini. This makes me all grown up.

Rachel Roy Lookbook Video is so fabulous I got chills just watching it.

You can depend on Donna Karen to shift us back to functionality and reality, in a time  when many designers are creating winter collections that could mirror those of spring/summer.

Because I really love the new DNKY Fall 2011 collection and was inspired to create a mood board with looks we can wear right away, either from items already in our closet, or from more accessible stores like Asos and Zara.

You know, take the look from the runway to the real-way.

Claudie Pierlot started the company herself in 1984 and today the company now belongs to the Maje and Sandro group bought in 2009, the same year she passed away.

The essential piece to any working girl wardrobe is a power suit, you ether start out with one ( for the interview) or you wear one frequently ( for the daily meeting), but all you really need is one well made yet totally comfortable suit that just means business. 

Lounging is about comfort but that doesn’t mean you can’t look good while doing it – Parisian women have yet to embrace the Juicy Couture styled velor suits,when its time to lounge around, instead they rely on french classics such as the sailor top – this on one is an updated version in red.

Cardigans are a most. Chunky knit cardigans made of wool can be your best friend in times of bracing the cold.  A cream colored one such as this one goes easily with many things and perfect for everyday wear.

A well tailored black cut should be a staple in any woman’s wardrobe, if you can only have one this should be it, and the fit should be perfect.
