Who doesn’t love David Beckham? No, seriously. I think boy and girls, gay or straight, adore the man. I do! And after the introduction of the David Beckham Bodywear Collaboration for H&M, you’ll find millions of people drooling in stores. The collection includes briefs, boxer briefs, and boxers, long johns, pajamas, henleys, and more.
After perusing the collection and photos, do you think you’ll want David Beckham on you? I certainly do…
Available at H&M.
What goes up must come down: what once was fussy is now fresh, once prep now hip. The new Peter Pan look is not your goody-two-shoes, Sandra Dee collar. The sixties-inspired style is now chic and polished. The connotation is youthful innocence – and that’s just what makes it just a bit provocative now!
Even Alexa Chung’s dress is so prim and conservative it feels a little shocking, and DKNY showed off a naughty schoolgirl side at their Fall 2011 show. But it’s the new spring collars that are grabbing my attention. Miu Miu’s spin on the prim detail ($2,420) – embellished with crystals (and it’s detachable! Genius!) – is super-modern, thanks to their gutsy lightning-flash print. Though they keep it solid, By Malene Birger
($595) goes even bolder with clusters of gold and silver sequins and sleeves to match.
I’m usually one for big, bold prints but this season I’m all about the pretty painterly feel. It’s a softer approach – and it’s speaking to the romantic in me. These printed dresses are so gorgeous you can practically hang them on your walls. But it’s so much for fun to wear something beautiful! My top picks of this season’s prints will be the new masterpiece in your wardrobe.
1) Oscar de la Renta Printed Silk A-Line Dress: I am in love with this sun-drenched meadow print. I would love this as wallpaper, how would one get that done? At Bergdorf Goodman for $2,290.
2) BOSS Black Graphic Dress: Thick, forward brushstrokes have an enigmatic effect on this silk-cotton shift, with an A-line silhouette perfect for festive afternoons. At Saks Fifth Avenue for $550.
3) Jonathan Saunders Renton Printed Cotton and Silk-Blend Dress: Play the part of the impeccable fifties housewife in this pleated confection, with a decorative pattern that’s nice and subtle. On Net-a-Porter for $1,330.
4) Roberto Cavalli Printed Cotton Gown: This collage-like summer dress is a mix of modern and classic, with a swishing skirt in a smashing floral print. On Net-a-Porter for $3,200.
5) Antonio Berardi Printed Silk-Georgette Kaftan Gown: Part dreamy watercolor, part vivid oil painting – with a splash of blooming purple that catches the eye – this is perfect for Valentine’s Day. And then you’ll have it to enjoy all season. On Net-a-Porter for $2,965.
A double Valentine’s Day giveaway for all the couples out there! Kelly Lin and Chris Young are a design duo who don’t only share a marriage (their “love at second sight” story is so sweet – they met 10 years ago, only to be introduced by the same friend again last year) – they also share a sense of street-meets-rugged chic style. Laid-back pieces created for couples in mind!
Celebrate your love with his-and-hers leather jackets ($1,100 value), a perfect fit for the wardrobes of girls and guys alike. Soft crinkled leather is cropped for you and relaxed for your man, and super-soft sweatshirt lining enhances the off-duty effect. Thank you to Kelly&Chris for this fabulous giveaway!

Jennifer Lopez showed up for an appearance on Live! With Kelly yesterday, with her very youthful boyfriend in tow, but who was looking at him? I am dying over her Dolce & Gabbana coat. A mannish, double-breasted shape in sweet baby pink with a contrasting gray collar – so early eighties-chic! (yes, I’m the same age as J. Lo). And with a bright red-and-pink pump by Charlotte Olympia to top it off?! Absolutely flawless. Is it me or is she totally glowing and radiantly beautiful since escaping the Crypt Keeper‘s clutches?
Gorgeous pink Dolce & Gabbana coat is $1525 and can be purchased via stores.dolcegabbana.com
Steal the Look: It’s hard to match the insane retro glamour of J. Lo’s boxy Dolce coat, but you can work your masculine-feminine magic with these tasty options. Just be sure to contrast your sweet pink with a scarlet shoe and bold, black clutch!
RED Valentino Patch-Pocket Swing Coat. At Neiman Marcus for $925.
Gianluca Capannolo A-Line Silk-Crepe Coat. On Luisa Via Roma for $1,782.
Miu Miu Double-Breasted Twill Coat. On My Theresa for $1,779.
Charlotte Olympia Masaka Silk-Satin Pumps. On Net-a-Porter for $875.
Jil Sander Envelope Clutch. At Barneys New York for $480.
Let’s have some fun this spring! Clothes shouldn’t be so no-nonsense, even when it comes to a special investment buy. As much as I love neutrals, I’m getting charmed by funky patchwork, wacky lettering, and crazy print-and-color combinations. Show that you don’t take yourself too seriously with a curious statement piece that can have a giggle at itself.
1) Versus Patchwork Cotton-Blend Dress: Homespun floral patchwork gets super-flirty with modern touches, like the sharp, white collar, slight racer-back, and asymmetrical lines. On Net-a-Porter for $1,025.
2) Moschino Printed Cotton Jacket: In classic Moschino fashion, this print is all over the place. But with fine tailoring and feminine details, the sheet music, peace sign, and tattoo-esque roses all come together seamlessly. On Net-a-Porter for $2,765.
3) Altuzarra Tropical Bird Print V-Neck Dress: If you can’t make it to the tropics, well, bring the rainforest to you. These parrots talk back – and with perforated leather trim, they say, “Polly has some style!” Available for pre-order at Barneys New York for $1,800 (expect delivery in April).
4) Emilio Pucci Patchwork-Print Silk Charmeuse Skirt: Like a collection of beautiful scarves, this flowing skirt comes together with a wildness that is breezy and unchallenging. Available for pre-order on Luisa Via Roma for $2,963 (for arrival by March 31st).
5) Missoni Ruffled Viscose Knit Bathing Suit: So Rihanna might be the only person on the planet who can pull this off – and I’m talking strictly in music video-land. But there’s still something about this wildly ruffled bikini that makes me smile. Maybe it’s the fact that it reminds me of Charro? Available for pre-order on Luisa Via Roma for $450 (for arrival by March 31st).
I’m like Michelle Obama when it comes to belts, I want to belt everything (but I do draw the line at fitted cardigans that need no cinching)! When I saw Emma Stone glide down the red carpet at the Golden Globes in her insanely chic Lanvin gown with an equally insane Lanvin belt, I about lost it. Seriously, it is so modern and chic! All you need is one great belt and you can update all the old black tie/prom dresses in your wardrobe.
Lanvin
At Neiman Marcus for $5,640- Love cinching in a soft and pleated dress with a leather belt. The contrast of soft and hard is what makes it for me.
Michael Kors
At Neiman Marcus for $3,995 – Do I need to state the obvious here? Fitted dress with up to there slit– All American sexy wrapped in a hot pink package.
Monique Lhullier
At Neiman Marcus – I love a flared skirt silhouette. This sunny yellow dress is perfect for movie premieres and less formal red carpet events.
Doo.Ri
At Shopbop for $5,640 – Ahhh, Doo. Ri- she of the expert if a bit shapeless draping. Belting this dress takes it from toga to fabulous.
Rick Owens At Neiman Marcus for $2,640 – Must admit was surprised to read this was Rick Owens and not Lanvin. Would love to see it with a distressed leather jacket.
Here you have it: quintessential Kate Moss, and all the reasons we love her. Headed home in London on January 18th, she reminded us of why she’s our seemingly eternal muse.
It’s her effortless way of wearing loads of leopard spots (on another, they might look fussy and overly glam), the perfectly shiny yet undone mane, the tossed-on scarf (notice the amazing feather detailing!), unfussy leg-wear, enviable – yet wearable – boots, and ladylike top-handle bag. I’ll have what she’s having!
When it comes to emulating the supermodel’s day look, there are a few key points to remember: she loves her fur, she keeps her pants casual (think leggings or slouchy-skinny jeans), and she doesn’t seem to spend too long thinking about how she’s going to put her fabulous designer pieces together.
Since we mere mortals need a little assistance, here’s how to steal the ultimate off-duty Moss look, from head to toe:
Sandro Majestueux Leopard-Print Goat-Hair Coat. On Net-a-Porter for $968.80 (from $1,730).
Alexander McQueen Lace-Up Bootie. On Zappos Couture for $614.99 (from $1,205).
David Lerner Leather Pocket Leggings. On ShopBop for $132.
Ralph Lauren Collection Fringed Lace Scarf. On Net-a-Porter for $495.
Hotel Particulier Minktail-Trim Wool-Cashmere Knit Scarf. On Luisa Via Roma for $561.
Oliver Peoples Shean Round-Frame Acetate Sunglasses. On Net-a-Porter for $360.
Fendi Peek-a-Boo Small Bag. At Barneys New York for $3,920.
A basketball court gone eerily ethereal. This set the tone for Riccardo Tisci’s take on Givenchy Couture – and it’s not the gauzy, floral, effervescent Spring collection most designers have in mind. And we wouldn’t have Riccardo any other way!
Inspired by the groundbreaking 1920s film Metropolis, there were industrial touches like bold metal spikes, not to mention models sporting ornate nose rings that covered a hefty portion of their faces and earrings so massive they had to be supported with headbands. Despite the striking headgear, most awe-inspiring is Givenchy’s way with both skin and beads.
Gowns of crocodile skin? I think my bag may have just taken a backseat. Scales were individually cut, dyed, and sewn back together for the most hedonistic confection of exotic you can imagine. Lighter and more wearable, though, are the eccentrically beaded creations. Sequins and sparkle can look disco-glam, but not in Riccardo’s macabre world of high style. An haute couture collection for die-hard fashion fanatics and imaginative eccentrics who yearn to push the envelope.
Fur certainly has its enemies (even Bottega designer Tomas Maier calls is “vulgar”), but say what you will about the controversial accoutrement, I find it simply irresistible. Whether it comes in the form of a vintage find or a brand-new addition, fur is meant to be treasured. Because, really, is there anything more decadent? Toss one of these jackets or vests on and I promise, you instantly feel like a queen, even if you’re still waiting on that diamond tiara.
1) Marc by Marc Jacobs Hayworth Fur Vest: Youthful and so plush it’s positively yummy, this chunky, wide-lapeled vest will jazz up any outfit, from flirty floral dresses to T-shirts and jeans.
At Bergdorf Goodman for $398.
2) Michael Kors Dyed Rabbit Fur Jacket: You know when Kors does rabbit fur it is going to be uptown-sleek with just tinge of downtown flavor. This streamlined jacket, ideal for both wide tweed trousers and super-skinny pants, is also wildly on sale, so don’t miss out!
At Saks Fifth Avenue for $538.49 (from $1,795).
3) Valentino Fur-And-Lace Collar Coat: Deliciously refined, Valentino does fur with understated class. A mink collar gets a touch of tenderness with sprinkling of lace.
At Bergdorf Goodman for $1,396 (from $3,490).
4) Kay Unger New York Fur-Trim Satin Jacket: Navy duchess satin is all grown up – and perfect for cocktail parties – but the breezy cut of this lamb-trimmed jacket will give you some swagger.
At Neiman Marcus for $750.
5) Theory Lamb Fur Vest: Big fur vests can feel played out when you see too many of them, but none have the curly-cue appeal of Theory’s fuzzy lamb. It’s all about the texture here, so keep it slick and smooth everywhere else.
At Saks Fifth Avenue for $1,215.
