I think the 80s were correct: powerful shoulders make for powerful women. That is also Viktor and Rolf's belief this coming season.

My favorite moments: the beginning; 8:36 to the end.

Every girl needs a good cross-body. Whether it's for partying, or formals, or everyday, there is always a perfect purpose. I myself carry one everyday to and from Parsons classes. Marc Jacobs put on some very eclectic and pretty ones this Spring, take a look!

Lisa Cant honestly hasn't done a lot lately, but I have her campaign for Juicy Couture across the back of my desk reading "You can always get what you want," and it inspires me every day. Here's to you, darling.

LuisaViaRoma.com is a chic, relatively under-the-radar online boutique that sells a lot of exclusive designer shoes from Balmain, Camila Skovgaard, Vivienne Westwood, and more. They've got their Fall 2010 sale going on right now, and these famous Burberry OTKs are on sale!! Still not very affordable at $1409.40, but hey!

Jason Derulo took Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek" and made it R&B. Afrojack took it and made it house. Check it out, and read on.

Seeing as we're talking about Chanel, let's watch the stunning punk-meets-class Spring Summer 2011 show. A very unusual runway set-up (that screwed up a few places) and moving orchestra music.

Best moments-- Watch video (1) to get the vibes of the show, but watch video (2) of you're in a rush. Best moments of video (2)-- nope just watch the whole thing. Amazing.

Sorry folks, a little behind on my posting! Anyway, today let's discuss the new Chanel quilted bag of the season. As a symbol of class and good taste, the Chanel 2.55 quilted leather bag has been around for ages and still is one of the house's top sellers. Every season, though, they put out a few new versions to whet the appetites of avid fashionistas. This Spring, the bags were black and white, patterned out to look like the runway in the Grand Palais where the runway show was held! SO FRIGGIN SICK!!!

Lara Stone is one of my reasons to exist. Period. I love her gap teeth. I love her lack of eyebrows. I love it all. Love her like I do.

Yves Saint Laurent always makes way-cool-artsy-to-the-point-of-unwearable heels every season. I watch his shoes for the shoes more than the clothes, quite honestly. So these are from last fall...but I don't care because THEY'RE SO AWESOME!!!

Hop on this offer before it sets sail. Alexander Wang's knit striped boatneck dress for only $38.49. I have a few of these in my closet and am in love with the soft, flowy stretch-cotton Wang uses. And you will be too.

On a whim today, I watched Iceberg SS11 after having seeing the gorgeous ad campaign with Malgosia Bela (scroll down a little to see). And I was totally feeling the vibes! Iceberg went for a relaxed seaside vibe this season, with muted washed colors and an overall casual-chic feeling. My favorite piece from the collection was actually a belt, styled to look like a hook-bungee cord of some sort. So clever, and so chic! Unfortunately, after some research, I learned that Iceberg isn't sold anywhere in the US )': But have a look at the (abbreviated) video anyway.

My favorite moments: 0:26, 1:02 (see the belt!)

As always, I am completely in love with Louis Vuitton's bags of the season. This season, many of them are on the small side, but they are so electric and I get mini-fashiongasms when I see them! To be released in April! Some of my favorites:


Galuchat Maestria clutch
Price: $4,840




Cuir Art Déco Trapèze crossbody
Price: $3,270



Galuchat Art Nouveau clutch
Price: $11,400

Malgosia Bela is 33 years old and on top of her game. Her campaign for Chloe SS11 brings joy to the otherwise fairly boring clothes. Her work for Cavalli and Iceberg this season is equally commendable.

When I first saw these Gucci Kelis Sandals on the runway, I was disappointed. Normally Gucci puts out incredible, gravity-defying heels that just reek sex (Google Gucci Division OTK boot), and lately the brand's designs were seeming lackluster. However, upon closer examination, I think these babies are incredi-chic. There's something about the simplicity and detail of them that beckons and intrigues. Pre-order for $795 at Saks.

If you listen to this song, you will start uncontrollably jerking with dance. It takes awhile to build up, but is completely epic.

In the past, I haven't been a huge follower of Stella McCartney (especially last season with those awful kitten heels). However, I fell in love with her SS11 collection, especially because of these big beautiful florals. My favorite is the Anemone Silk Dress shown here. The beauty of the floral print and the subtle colors is truly harmonious. You can buy this dress at Saks for $1,595, or you can check out my floral frocks of the season here.

The question here is do I want a naked Claudia Schiffer photographed by Mario Testino on my D&G tee. If I had $105, the answer would be a resounding yes.

Versus Versace was originally a gift from Gianni Versace to niece Donatella Versace decades ago. Donatella has recently breathed new life into the line with right-hand man Christopher Kane and put out a killer FW10/11 collection. Their SS11 collection, while in my opinion a little less sexy, still delivers as a collection and as a show.

My highlights= 0:25 , 4:15 to the end.

Pierre Hardy has always been a well-regarded name in the shoe industry, but now he has really put himself on the map with his Spring Summer 2011 shoe collection. Feet-killers, certainly, but there is a price to pay for fashion. Also, a thousand dollars.

Freja Beha Erichsen. Looking at her Spring Summer 2011 campaign work alone is enough to capture the essense of her plain, yet mysteriously enchanting beauty.

Christian Louboutin's Altadama Watersnake Platform Pump






Honestly, do shoes get more appealing than this? I'm pretty sure I walk around in these in my dreams. Absolutely stunning, and most likely than not, comfortable with that platform.
