Cat Fashion Show

Please, I beg of you, take some time to fawn over this robert pattinson kitty, along with a few more wacky cats in the slideshow below, taken from the Fashionable Feline Extravaganza. There's nothing else that I could possibly say to describe my excitement. Click HERE to view this slideshow.

Bonjour from Paris!

Bonjour from the city of Paris! It is with great excitement and joy that I inform my readers that I have been basking in the (unfortunately) strange weather at the Capital of all things to do with fashion, Paris, France! I am down to limited internet access, so I once again apologize for my absence! Some observations from Paris include a lot of stripes on both men and women, tailored jackets, flair pants, over the shoulder bags and incredibly fashionable men! If only I could speak a word of French, I would most definitely ask to photograph all of the stylish French people walking the streets. The style in this city is universal, and I am quite intimidated to walk the streets because I have encountered so many fashion forward citizens! Highlights include the incredible sales all around ending on the third of August and Bertillion ice cream. I would most definitely suggest coming to Paris in late July and very early August to catch the sales! It is the most ideal time for shoppers like me to find very stylish pieces at a very affordable price! Possibly more exciting than my shopping outing were my two visits to Bertillion Ice cream! I think that I would have to call it my favorite ice cream. Ever. And that really does mean a lot because I am sort of an ice cream fanatic.

Dolce Vita for Target

And the Target designer collaborations just keep rolling in! Dolce Vita has recently announced the August 22nd release of its shoe collaboration with Target. Although it has not "officially" been released in Target stores, a source tells me that the collection is available on Target.com under the name "Dolce Vita." Also, the Lace Up boots are now available in the East Harlem Target store. Four styles of shoes, including "Lace-Up Boots in black and brown ($34.99), Buckle Ankle Boots in black ($34.99), Oxford Flats in black ($29.99), Studded Oxford Flats in grey ($29.99) and Studded Ballet Flats ($29.99) in black, gold and pewter" (Nitrolicious.com.)

Material Girl by Madonna for Macy's Collection Preview

It's been quite a while, and I apologize for my absence. No explanation is necessary other than it has been an adventure packed summer filled with internet free destinations!

Beginning August third, Madonna's Material Girl collection (which she co-designed with her 13 year old daughter) will be available in Macy's Stores. To view the collection preview, click HERE.

P.S.

Madonna's daughter, Lola, has started her own blog about the Material Girl collection called Material World... how ironic (not really.) To visit her blog, click HERE.

Now and Then Online Vintage Store

I was notified by a friend that the Now and Then Vintage store, a new online shopping site, was incredible. So I took a look for myself, and discovered that this site is too good to be true! Prices for not only vintage, but brand name apparel as well are very low, and the selection is endless! For example, a seemingly gently used Marc by Marc Jacobs jacket sells for $20, while an abstract color blouse that I happen to be in love with sells for $11. A Dolce and Gabanna sequin dress that must of cost hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, sells for $35. Now and Then Vintage will now be bookmarked on my computer and I look forward to the expansion of the website!

Alison Lewis for Target

Alison Lewis has designed an exclusive dress for Target, available online and in stores now for the steep price of $89.99. Inspired by the '60s flick Umbrellas of Cherbourg, the dress (pictured below) is made with a printed fabric of tiny umbrellas.

Liberty of London for Manolo Blahnik

Liberty of London has struck again! Honestly, it seems as if the company is on a quest for instant household recognition! Target, J Crew and now Manolo Blahnik have paired with the English company in the past year to create designer collaboration collections. According to "Mama's a Rolling Stone," the collection will not only include shoes, but also scarves, candles, rain boots, notebooks and more. The collection will be available starting September 10, 2010 at the “World Of Manolo” boutique inside Liberty’s London store. Of course, it will most likely be available online as well. More to come.

Below, is the shoe collection preview.

New York, Day 3

As requested by very dedicated cousin (Possibly the only person who actually reads this blog) I must continue blogging frequently.

It's my third day in New York City, and the rain has finally ceased. Although we have repeatedly tried to visit the Moma and the Guggenheim in the past two days, we have simply failed to do so as a result of our love for window shopping.

In the past two days, though, we have visited some incredible hot spots for shopping in the city...

We may have even found my mother's future wedding dress.

I created a list of several incredible stores in New York City that I must share with you all.

P.S. So sorry for the slightly blurry cell-phone photos (I'm not very good at remembering my camera)

1. Located in New York City and the Hamtons, and coming to Los Angeles soon,

Park 25 holds exquisite new yet vintage looking clothing and jewelry from

(my favorite) Philosophy by Alberta Ferretti to Adam.

2. A favorite of mine, Ina has five different stores for men

and women around New York City. The selection of vintage and second hand

clothing, shoes and accessories is unique and beautiful.

The Prices are not too steep either.

3. Scoop , the self proclaimed "ultimate closet" is located all over the United States

in cities such as New York City, Miami and Chicago. Although very expensive,

it is definitely on my "must visit if you are a tourist who loves fashion" list.

4. As my aunt so truly spoke, Jeffrey is "the new Barneys." Actually, as I discovered

upon viewing their shoe sale rack (Including this season's Chanel), its better

than Barneys. Although prices are steep, the store, which is located in both

New York City and Atlanta, is incredibly breathtaking.

If I could actually find the list...

I do have a list of my favorite Vintage stores in Soho

(for anyone who is traveling to New York soon)

Stay tuned!
