Newly Stocked Rodarte at Opening Ceremony!!!

Did you guys get the chance to indulge in the madness that was Rodarte for Target? I desperately wanted one of those black lace tu-tu dresses, but they were pretty much sold out before I got to them. Anyhow, if you happen to be a member of a certain tax bracket Opening Ceremony has stocked the official Rodarte collection. They have a few men’s sweaters, a few dresses, and a cool motorcycle jacket. On first glance it looks like a ball of confusion and dishevelment but taking a closer look at the garments you can tell that the Mulleavy sisters really tried to craft unique fashion forward pieces for their customer. Here’s to hoping I hit the lottery one day and can afford at least a dress. 

Rodarte Men’s Crewneck $2,760

Rodarte Men’s Crewneck $2,760

Rodarte Men’s Cardigan $2,760

Rodarte Men’s Cardigan $2,760

Rodarte Marbled Looped Wool Dress $3,450

Rodarte Hand Marbled Silk Chiffon Dress $10,350

Rodarte Hand Marbled Leather Jacket $3,850

Astronomical! 

Available at Opening Ceremony.

Say No to the Basic Peacoat!

Fall 2009 Couture Collections

Nothing grinds my gears more then seeing beautiful, able bodied, fashion forward ladies, resort to wearing a basic 5-button peacoat. I know, coat shopping can be draining and frustrating, but during the winter months it’s the piece that makes the strongest statement about you! Peacoats have always been a basic statement piece in a woman’s wardrobe, basic meaning boring, bland, and common. Living in an era where it’s no longer a shock to see Gaga walking the streets in bloomers and where exciting couture collections, like Alexander McQueen’s extravagant couture collections reign supreme, the basic blah coat just isn’t going to fly. The order of the day is bold, structured, and extreme. Don’t short change yourselves by any means when it comes to looking for the perfect winter coat. I took the liberty of collaging examples of the best coats for you, inspired by the Fall 2009 Couture collections. A few things to keep in mind when you’re on the prowl: coats in luxurious fur, cascading hem lines, belts, hoods, and big swallow-me-up collars, are all great and command attention. ‘Tis the season to be fearless.

1.. Asos Killah Fur Printed Padded Jacket $195.47

2. Urban Outfitters Dolce Vita Uma Coat $278.00

3. DJ Premium Wrett Faux Fur Coat by Diesel $350.00

4. ShopBop Alice + Olivia Petal Collar Coat with Belt $596.00

This Caught my Eye

I have a rather flip-flop sense of style. Somedays I’m classy, like Michelle O. You can catch me wearing a chic fitted sheath dress with a string of pearls around my neck and hair flipped and then on other occasions I’m more rocker, mix match-y, just don’t care, hair twisted up in a messy bun. Well if I had the energy today, it would definitely be a Michelle O day, and if I had the money this would be the dress. It’s featured on today’s Editors Picks at Shopbop and I love it! This silk Milly dress with cascading ruffles speaks to me. I am a sucker for good fabric and a luxurious color. I would totally kill this with my hair swept up, a pair of black satin round-toe pumps, and a sleek black leather clutch…

If you have the same unrequited desire, fill the void by clicking HERE. $374 @ Shopbop.

Recently Opened: Celeb N Couture Boutique in Brooklyn

172 Greenpoint Ave Between Leonard and Manhattan Ave

Open from 11:30 to 7PM

twitter.com/celebNcouture

At a time where the urban fashion market seems to be caving in through the struggle of major brands like Baby Phat Fashions, Rocawear and others, Stefanie McDonald has her heart set on reversing the trend with the opening of Celeb N Couture Boutique. Friday night was the grand opening or in my opinion a big slap in the face to hipsters every where! [over it] Just walking through the doors of Celeb N Couture felt like the dawning of a new day. The boutique stationed in a secluded section of Brooklyn was flooded with customers looking to purchase the latest in denim, tops, and jewelry. As shoppers slowly revert back to the styles they loved growing up, Celeb N Couture speaks to the urbanista serving a dish that has been craved for a long time. Stefanie, is a young, black woman, under 25 who etched out her own place in the fashion retail market.  During the grand opening you could spot Stefanie walking around the store helping customers find their unique fit, creating a specific clientele list so that she may cater to the exact needs of each customer, and offering general style suggestions. I strongly urge you to visit Celeb N Couture Boutique if you want items and service that is sui generis, fresh and fab! Check out my interview with Stefanie below!
