I am not much of a jumpsuit girl (traumatized by the green corduroy jumpsuits I wore in 3rd grade) but had to post this one. The front of the jumpsuit appears to be semi normal-- a t shirt tucked into a pair of pants, right? Wrong. Apparently the shirt is merely a flimsy bib and if the very thin model can't pull it off, I don't know who can. I don't like going without a bra and in the model's case, she shouldn't, either. I guess they were going for shock value but ended instead with cheese value. The very wide leg pants just further the sloppy look. This is an outfit that will probably end up in my email box from US magazine to critique for fashion police! As for the celeb I predict will wear it... Lindsay Lohan or Paris Hilton (they're one and the same as far as I'm concerned). $209 at Rachel Pally Kate Jumpsuit

What do you guys think? Snob or Slob?

So everyone and their mother tuned in for the series finale of The Hills ! Am I the only one glad that this show is finally over? Don't get me wrong I'm a huge fan, but with the stars of the show constantly in the press I feel like I know everything that's going to happen before it even airs on the show. Plus, poor Lauren is the star of The Hills, but yet is barely ever on the show -- someone get her a love interest pleaaaaase!! I'm way more excited for The City and still am kicking myself for missing my friend Jane's birthday where Whitney, her boyfriend, Olivia and the rest of the show's cast were partying it up! All that said, when Lauren was talking about going to the SLS party she questioned whether it was appropriate to wear a lime green dress to the black tie affair which peaked my interest. Personally while I don't think the dress -- which is from the Spring-Summer 2009 Tracy Reese collection and is called the Peplum Strapless Dress ($330) -- was appropriate for a black tie affair I do think it's super cute and would totally wear this for a cocktail party. Though I would pair it with an over-sized necklace and a huge cocktail ring:) The Tracy Reese Peplum dress will be available beginning in February at eluxury.com.

Its been hard reading WWD, Fashion Week Daily, and other daily fashion publications lately given all the cut-backs -- Carmen Marc Valvo, DKNY, Vera Wang, and Betsey Johnson are just some of the big names that have already announced they will not show at the Bryant Park tents during New York Fashion Week. Fendi and Marni won't do Men's shows this year and Zac Posen is putting his planned contemporary line on hold. Donna Karan and Calvin Klein's Francesco Costa are cutting back their collections -- and that's just a slither of all the bad news. At this point I'm wondering what the fate of Fashion Week even is this year. What are your thoughts on the fate of Fashion Week or Fashion Month rather if you consider New York, London, Milan, and Paris collectively? Is it inappropriate for designers to have big shows this year?

I was lucky enough to get the chance to interview Hayden-Harnett designer Toni Hacker back in October and she's so great! I'm dying to get my hands on a pair of her Madeleine Riding Boots ($448) which come in a beautiful brandy color (also black and eucalyptus). Toni was so excited about her new (and first!) collection of boots a few months ago when I interviewed her and she let me feel the samples so I know that they're super comfy and cozy! I keep gearing-up to head to her store in Greenpoint because I'm not sure what size I am so I don't want to risk getting the wrong one online, but this damn cold weather keeps making me chicken-out! In addition to boots, come January 2009, Hayden-Harnett will have a whole range of flats, sandals, wedges and pumps:) But, in the meantime, check-out the boot collection and preview of the Hayden-Harnett Spring collection here!

Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas and holiday season. And hopefully you have everything you want waiting for you under your tree. We had yet another amazing year. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your support and love. Have a safe, fun and incredibly well dressed New Years =)

Love always,

It has been about seven years since UGGs first burst onto the scene via Kate Hudson and other celebs donning them with ultra-minis. Though their appeal has somewhat dwindled they are still countless styles sold-out at Bloomingdale's in NYC and at the Soho UGG store. Yes, I'll admit it, I stocked-up and once again bought a few pairs this year! Forget that they're not sexy, they're not even that great quality -- every year the pairs I buy get ruined by snow/rain (even though I spray them to help make them water resistant) and then others end-up hardening from the salt that gets put on the NYC sidewalks so I can't fit my feet in them! So why do I buy them? Because they're comfy and relatively inexpensive. Plus, compared to Timberland or even Pucci or Marc Jacobs Moon Boots, they are actually not that bad looking. Though I have to say if I wear the tall Uggs too long, they rub against the back of my ankle and start to hurt! Anyway, even after all this time, UGGs seem to still be popular and there are countless imitators. Of particular note, Australia Love Collective. That said, if your're going to go for this kind of boot -- stick to the original is my opinion! What do you think? Do you still wear UGGs?

Eluxury is doing an additional 30% off all apparel (except final clearance) starting at 3pm PST today. It might be too late to get things under the tree by tomorrow but if you can get a better gift, I am sure your recipeint won't mind getting things a little late. Besides, a lot of people are traveling right now so you can wait until after Xmas to gift anyway. Or maybe just shop for yourself. In any case, it is time to bargain shop!!

In case you haven't heard-- bare shoulder is the new cleavage. The asymmetric trend continues strong for 2009 and it's a great way to be chic and sexy (such a fine balance!). For some reason asymmetric silhouettes also make a person look slimmer; I don' t know if it's the slant that creates the illusion of length but put on an asymmetric dress or top and you can look 5 pounds lighter!  If you're timid and unsure of how to wear this trend, jump to see our suggestions!

This necklace is not only beautiful and chic but it is good for the mind and spirit. This disc charms are engraved with the lotus flower and the symbol for the Sahasrara Chakra, which is at the crown of the head, is the center for self realization and enlightenment. Wear this when you're having a bad day, need some enlightenment or to just match and accessorize an outfit =) I love wearing personal jewelry, actually most jewelry I wear has great significance to me. It makes me feel in touch with some part of my life and although it is an ornament, it is also comforting. And what better than jewelry that is beautiful and meaningful? The discs are sterling silver and the chain measures 45.5" inches. It is handcrafted in New York City for $880 at eluxury.

I'm trying to be a good girl this holiday season and not go overboard with my spending. Given the economic outlook it feels like the right thing to do. But that doesn't mean I'm going to stop compiling a lengthy wish list in my head. At the tip top of my list this year is a white gold and diamond cherry blossom cocktail ring that I spotted recently while I was in Bethesda, Maryland for a book signing. (My book, Gilding Lily, is a great stocking stuffer by the way...) The ring's designer Suzanne Somersall happened to be in the boutique that day and told me a little bit about her background--she's American but currently lives in Japan and graduated from Brown University before studying jewelry design in Florence. Somersall is incredibly talented, not to mention beautiful and stylish, and I know it's just a matter of time before she's featured on the pages of Vogue. In the meantime, I'll be pining for her Sakura (that's Japanese for cherry blossom) ring and earrings. They're just the sort of pieces I can imagine one day passing on to my daughter on her wedding day. Here's the link to the ring. Click on each image to see details and to purchase! Prices range from $85 and up.
