Vera Wang for Kohls


When I heard that Vera Wang was doing a line for Kohls I was very suprised. While I am totally for making designer ware affordable it seemed like a weird pairing. Although I have never been to a Kohl's I picture it as something like JC Penny. But after reviewing the Simply Vera by Vera collection on Kohl's website I was impressed with some of the simple and very wearable designs. Although the collection was released on September 9th many of the items are already sold out in the smaller sizes.

Best of Show: New York Fashion Week


My favorite collection from this years New York spring shows was by Alice + Olivia. The colors were vibrant and the lines were long and clean. I also liked their back drops, they were interesting and creative.

Most of Show: New York Spring Fashion Week


I found a lot of the collections from the Spring New York fashion shows to be very monotone. The dominant color was beige or tan (Not my personal favorite). There was also alot of etheral, floaty looks like these by BCBG.

Worst of Show: New York Fashion Week


So I will have to say that my least favorite collection from New York's Spring Collection was Marc by Marc Jacobs (gasp!). I know it's crazy but I really didn't like this collection. Maybe it was all of the head to toe colors and patterns or the clownish hats. Hopefully Marc will bring his a-game back for his fall collection.

Beauty Find: Navy Blue Nail Polish



As fall approaches I am increasingly drawn towards darker colors, especially with make up. While black nail polish has been worn by every bad girl from Courtney Love to Rose McGowan a new dark shade of nail polish is making its way into the scene. OPI has recently released "Russian Navy" polish as part of its Russian Collection. While the navy is still dark and edgy it seems more sophisticated and less sinister than its black polish counterpart.
