Fashion Week is right around the corner!
For all you fashionistas intending to hobnob with the ‘who’s who’ of the fashion world, do it with MICHAEL Michael Kors Python Embossed Oversized Clutch:
The rich wine hue coupled with the snakeskin texture is ideal for the fall (and it beats the heck out of an unsightly briefcase). At an astounding $198 (no digits missing), it’s an incredible recession friendly splurge.
Get it here!

Today I wanted to introduce you to Debonair Debonair, a funky bag, shoes, belt, and bracelet brand from Londontown:
The hip, eccentric accessories are inspired by London’s cultural melting pot and street culture, and seem tailored for the fashionista unafraid to take risks.
Prices are unlisted, but if you’re intrigued, contact the designers via their website at www.debonairdebonair.com. Read even more about the brand at www.myspace.com/debonairfashion.
Fred Flare’s Owl Ring is great for jazzing up any nighttime ensemble if you’re in a nocturnal mood:

Guys, take heart!
You can get your ‘back to school’ shop on as well with this Dangerfield Cardigan by Play Cloths:
For $114 you can look fresh dressed and swaggerific for school. Trey Songz is a fan!
Get yours here.
Check out Trey wearing his in this viddy:
Editrix of American Vogue Anna Wintour appeared on David Letterman’s show to promote The September Issue:
The clip certainly makes Anna seem down to earth and approachable. I’m running to see this movie as soon as I touch down in NYC!
The film hits theaters August 28th.
Hey Bombshells!
So Back to School is in full swing!
If you’re an on campus fashionista (or simply wish to remember those days), we’ve found outfits inspired by some of pop culture’s most stylish students:
Whether you’re evoking Denise Huxtable’s Bohemian vibe, nostalgic for Lisa Turtle’s bright neon élan, or have a penchant for Dionne Davenport’s preppy swagger, The Fashion Bomb has modernized their on screen styles for you. Let’s take a look:
Lisa Turtle:
If you loved the neon of the early ’90′s, you can follow Lisa’s lead in bright print dresses layered under more contemporary boyfriend blazers. If you’re too shy for full on patterns, go for a subtle outfit, stacking on technicolor bracelets or funky, chunky earrings:
Denise Huxtable:
This unsung fashionista made waves on the Cosby Show, rocking harem pants with confidence before their recent resurgence on runways. Bring her look to life in menswear inspired button downs and hats–sauce it up for fall in tall ankle boots and over the top accessories:
Dionne “Dee” Davenport:
Black Mary Janes and pleated skirts are wardrobe classics, making it easy to channel Dee from the 1995 cult film Clueless. Go for uber preppy yet modern with pearls, stud earrings, and a Burberry check headband (knee high socks are optional):
Hilary Banks:
Primetime’s original Daddy’s Girl can live on today in black bouclé jackets set off by gold chunky bracelets and flower pins. Slip on a hat for true Fresh Prince of Bel-Air flair, or make your look ‘bankable’ in peep toe patent pumps:
Isabel Coates:
Stunt like a true Gossip Girl in Houndstooth coats toned down by black pencil skirts and demure headbands. Up the ante by adding a bright colored tote and patterned heels, keeping jewelry to a minimum:
Who’s your favorite on screen student?
