Hey Bombshells!

So yesterday I decided to be economical and take the M60 bus to the airport. I was digging into my latest edition of Women’s Wear Daily when my eyes spied this pretty in pink fashionista, Zaine:

She was boldy wearing a bright pink and red wool vintage dress with pink tights and red shoes. She broke the color barrier down with a light brown satchel handbag and funked it all up with a half braided hair style. I loved it!
When I asked about her ‘fit, she said, “I’m in love with the 60’s and I love to make a statement!” About her vintage dress, she said, ‘You’d be surprised what New Yorkers throw away.”
What do you think of her style?

Celebrity stylist du jour June Ambrose was spotted at an Anna Sui for Target event looking quite chic in a neutral outfit accented by statement pieces:

Love the look? Here’s what we picked out for tons less:

Bebe has done it again, this time feeling “inspired” by Marc Jacobs:

Both show stopping jackets feature strong shoulders and have color similarities, but Marc Jacobs’ Aqua Bonded Filigree Velvet Fitted Long Sleeve Peplum Jacket ($1800) has more of a futuristic look than Bebe’s Ornate Puff Sleeve Jacket ($169), which looks like it could have been made from grandma’s couch!

Which one do you think will make more heads turn?

Adriana again!

When friends bemoan that fashion is boring right now, I always ask them how much they’re paying attention to the contemporary scene, where, to my mind, some of the most exciting style moments are happening. Yesterday’s Nanette Lepore Spring 2010 collection, for instance, is a fine example.

Lepore, who’s known mostly her for uber-girly looks that sometimes border on the frilly and frivolous, really evolved with this line, presenting a look that retained its feminine sensibility while playing with silhouettes and graphic designs that were more abstract and modern than her usual offerings.

I’m a devotee of Splendid and James Perse so the cotton pieces here really impressed, especially the striped one-shoulder dress and the crocheted bib on a few of the tops. The colors were also really enjoyable: bright citrus hues and jewel tones that were just the slightest bit muted, enough to lend the clothes a more sophisticated, sobering air.

Another favorite was the above balloon-sleeve khaki jacket, which I thought was a smart take on the strong shoulder trend without giving it the normal boxy treatment. And I think you’ll all love the wedge booties that accompanied each look: strong, distinct, and playfully sexy. Nanette did include some of the femme frocks she’s known for but even they were somewhat quieter here, and not rife with her normally blaring girlish overtones.

What say y’all?

Hey Bombshells,
Adri here with my review of yesterday’s Tory Burch Spring 2010 presentation.

Normally, the protocol in the tents is that you display your line in a runway show but this season, TB decided to do something a little different and introduced her Spring collection as a presentation, instead.

The presentation format, in which the looks are displayed all at once and models stand stationary, gained momentum last season and carried over to this one as designers attempt to keep the production costs of shows down. I for one love it: it’s more intimate and allows you to get a much better feel for the pieces, not to mention that it often puts you in close proximity to fashionables you’d usually be rows and rows away from.

That’s Tory taking Vogue‘s Anna Wintour and Bergdorf Goodman’s Linda Fargo through the collection, something you’d never get this close to at a usual show. Anna’s bodyguards were not a game (too many memorable PETA moments to be otherwise, I’m sure) and cleared people out with no mercy, but it was still fun to see her walking around and taking in the collection just like the rest of us. Enough of the scene, though–what about the clothes?

Burch delivered her usual, friendly Upper East Side-meets-Boho sensibility and there were some wonderful gems in the collection, especially amongst the accessories.

The pieces I liked most were a bronze metallic skirt/blue Oxford shirt combo that embody the SoHo Girl/Gossip Girl look Burch does so well. I also enjoyed a wide belt with a figurine-laden buckle made of enamel, as well as a short khaki trench jacket that seems perfect for spring weather.

The colors Burch used are among my favorite for spring: bold yet simple tones that aren’t overdone with the typical staples of the seasons, florals and pastels. She also incorporated leather a lot, which is not a fabric you associate with warmer weather but the skins were so light  and well-treated that they did indeed seem feasible for the season. Also: *loved* the diversity of the models used. And there were some cute shoe selections to boot:

The moccasins have that kind of “so ugly they’re cute” quality going on, and look perfect to throw together with some jeans and a cute top for a spring afternoon in the park.
I thought it was strong showing for Tory Burch–what do y’all think?
