Currently Craving: Melody Ehsani

Welcome to our new category – Currently Craving. This section covers all that we’re presently obsessed with.

For our first craving we would like to introduce you to Melody Ehsani. The pieces in her collection are somewhat risky but bold and most definitely fresh.

Check out these silver metallic, peep toe, platforms  - They’re wildly hot and retail under $200!

We’re on the verge of “over” bib necklaces but this hot pink and black combo have us second guessing.

Sunday Sit Down: Spring Time

Picture 1

Spring is around the corner and it blossomed this weekend with lightweight coats and crowded parks.

Normally animals grow extra fur to keep warm throughout the chilly winter weather, but facial hair for spring is hot. Literally. (We’re not implying that men are animals…really). Along with beards and staches, milatary green and brass buttons will be marching the streets. We’re looking forward to nude lips and clogged feet – wooden soles and neutrals are on the most wanted list.

WHERE: Come Fly With Me

Packing for a vacation can be stressful. When you depart for islands, spas,  and getaways unknown, stress should be left behind.

We think the carry-on is the most fun to pack. It is essential that it’s packed lightly and thoroughly.

I find that a carry-on full of toiletries (see here for restrictions), magazines, intimates, running clothes and running shoes eliminates overstuffing in larger luggage. I like to check one bag, if I must, when travelling.  Rolling suitcases are the best option for a carry-on.

You must be sure that your make up is stashed separately from your toiletries. We don’t want drenched makeup brushes – beware the spill.

I never thought I would see the day when fanny packs re-surfaced but traveling is the perfect time to break them out. You can store your passport, money, id, lip-gloss and anything else that you don’t want to dig for right at your hip.

These are only a few items that can help get you through the airport without feeling disheveled and overpacked.

And if you’re flying out of JFK be sure to pack an assortment of magazines – with the new project in place you’re in for a wait.

Sunday Sit Down: Patience Is A Virtue

Since ice dance became an Olympic sport in 1976, a Russian or Soviet couple had taken the gold, except on two occasions. But this year patience and hard work paid off when Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir took home the gold.

Not only did we love the routine but the photo gallery on their website is fashion forward and trendy! Here is a shot of Tessa in a gorgeous tulle skirt and toe shoes.

The stacked pearl bracelets give this basic black outfit a little pop. We’ve included some options below -

With a great variety of photos in the gallery we also picked this more subdued image. The layered turquoise necklaces dress up any look.

Here are some of our turquoise picks -

WHERE: Snowed In

Crazy weather we’re having. Whether you’re snowed in or trekking through the snow powdered streets, being warm and cozy can still be stylish.

This sweater (not entire outfit) is sexy yet warm. Boy By Band Of Outsiders takes knit to a new level with this silver large knit top.

Just because the skies are grey doesn’t mean your wardrobe should match. Play it up with some color from Marc by Marc Jacobs.

Preppy never looked so good with this white and navy knit by Lacoste. Yes, it’s short sleeves but one of our favorite looks is layering with a long sleeve to keep even warmer.

WHAT: Fur Here Or To Go

Marc Jacobs can do whatever he wants. Skirts for men. Underwear on the outside. Sue Christian Audigier for trade-dress and trademark infringement.

Jacobs continues to take fashion to a new level –this season – fur everywhere. Our animal instinct took over as we browsed through his latest collection. We developed a hunger for more exciting and innovative shows like his. The show began with a clean grey and neutral palette quickly merging into basic coats and structured bags covered in fur.

I’m not one for fur but (what used to be) fashion is art. It’s an artist’s expression, inspiration, and talent put on display for all, who appreciate and hate, to devour.

WHAT: Alice + Olivia

Alice + Olivia’s presentation mixed flirty with biker babe. My style isn’t normally frilly but with black leather jackets, metallic trench coats, and herem pants thrown in the mix, I don’t mind a little ruffle.

After launching at Barneys eight years ago designer, Stacey Bendet, has been on Vanity Fair’s best dressed list two years in a row. It’s no wonder we love her newest collection!

Here is one of our favorite looks from Fall 2010 -

The look above is our daily outfit with some great accents and upgrades. Bendet makes it easy for us to feel less like a cartoon character and more fashion forward. Each piece makes a great separate – herem pants with a white t-shirt, black leather jacket with a mini skirt…

Here are some great finds from her current collection -

WHEN: Let The Games Begin – Kimberly Ovitz

It’s the first day of fashion week and aside from the sad, morbid, and shocking news of Alexander McQueen’s untimely death, the weather was crisp and some of the collections were refreshing. Our favorite designer of the day was Kimberly Ovitz. New to the runway scene, two years fresh, Ovitz reminds us that we don’t have wear tight clothes and stilettos to be sexy.

The look above is baggy yet feminine. The layering and draping detail hits the body in all the right places. Normally shorts like this are hard to pull off, especially if you lack lengthy legs, but with the cuff option its a look that anyone can wear.

Exposed shoulders are looking trendy for Fall ‘10. A basic black dress goes along way with asymmetrical lines and swooping collar.

Ovitz remained consistent throughout her 55 look collection – asymmetry, mesh, basic dresses with a touch of sex, and shoes to die for. We love a bootie with a street stopping sole.

Here is our favorite look from her S/S ‘10 collection:
