With the holidays right around the corner, I created a simple outfit that can be worn to multiple occasions. I based this outfit around the Kendra Scott statement necklace, which I instantly fell in love with. It comes in so many pretty colors, and is a staple to any outfit. I paired the necklace with a basic blouse to make it stand out. You can never go wrong with warm tights, and a black bubble skirt, which are so easy to dress up. Sparkles are always fun, and this Vince Camuto clutch is perfect for the holiday season. This outfit is so easy to put together, and has eye catching pieces to make it pop.
Michael Kors is one of my favorite designers. When I saw his Spring/Summer 2012 Collection, I instantly fell in love with the fun animal prints, unique fringe texture, and pops of bright colors. I created this video lookbook for Michael Kors Safari themed collection. I incorporated videos, pictures, and interviews from Michael Kors about the collection. Let me know what you think!
With winter approaching, one of my favorite things to wear are big chunky sweaters. Refinery29 released their own sweater trend called, frowning sweaters. I love the curved hemline as well as the two pockets that make these sweaters come alive. These are cute sweaters that I can't wait to add to my winter wardrobe! Here are a few of my favorites.

The luxury retailer Barneys, is teaming up with Lady Gaga for a holiday special called Gaga's Workshop. Barneys will create a Santa's workshop through Gaga's eyes. There will special edition Gaga themed products, as well as many of Lady Gaga's holiday favorites including, chocolate Christmas ornaments, Gaga snow globes, makeup, claw stockings, and more! I think this Gaga Workshop sounds really unique and amazing, but to make it even better, 25 percent of all sales will be donated to the Born This Way Foundation to help promote equality through anti-bullying, self confidence, mentoring, and career development for children. The Workshop will be released November 21st, but until then check out Barneys website here for updates on Gaga's Workshop! Each day a new item is released, I can't wait to see what crazy item will be next!

I recently came across this amazing video for Chanel's Nail Polish; Le Vernis, featuring new shades Dragon, Black Pearl, Inattendu, Particuliere, and Orange Frizz. I love all of Chanel's nail polishes, especial their fall shades. Chanel, in the past, has made creative videos to show their new products. This is such unique, and cute video with all the dancing fingers! What a great idea to preview new nail polish colors. I want to go buy them all! Check out the video and let me know what you think...
A few weeks ago, the Versace for H&M lookbook was published for the soon release date, later this month. Versace is known for bright colors, exotic prints, and crazy details. This collaboration with H&M is no different, with studded dresses, colorful floral patters, and leather jackets. I came across this lookbook on Fashionologie.com, which shows many items from her woman's and men's collections, in an easy to view layout. Another view at the collection can be found at H&M's website. This is such a creative way to view the collection before it reaches stores.
I love all the fun colors and embellishments! I can't wait to shop the collection.
What do you think of Versace's collection for H&M?
All year long designers have trunk shows to sell and show off their new merchandise for customers, buyers, magazine editors, and more. Designers will be able to get feedback directly from their consumers. Many trunk shows are held in a fun and entertaining environment with music, cool lighting, drinks, appetizers, and more. This Alexander McQueen video really shows what it is like to attend a fashion trunk show. Merchandise is displayed on shelves, racks, and even a small fashion runway is set up to model the new line for a small gathering of people. The show featured accessories from shoes to handbags, and many original unique dress designs.
Recently, designers have also been doing virtual trunk shows where you do not need a special invite to attend. Designers such as Donna Karan and Salvatore Ferragamo have started online trunk shows to show off their new collections. Virtual trunk shows provide special videos of each garment and a option to pre-order the merchandise before it's available to the public. Check out Salvatore Ferragamo trunk show or read more about Donna Karan’s trunk show for Neiman Marcus.
The Chanel Spring/Summer 2012 fashion show was one of the most unique fashion shows I have ever seen. It just proves there is so much more to fashion shows than just modeling new designs. This video instantly had me wishing I could have been there to watch it live! I loved how it was not your traditional "cat walk" and had models walking in all different directions. The all white design with white apparel was so crisp and clean. It looks almost like a winter wonderland. You can tell a lot of work went into creating this show. I think Chanel went above and beyond, and set high standards for fashion shows to come!
When fall approaches we begin to put away our fun bright colored clothing for more dark neutral colors such as brown, black, and grey. Just because the weather is getting colder does not mean we have to stop wearing fun colors! Electric blue is a great color for fall 2012 and its different from the usual red, green, or orange colors we see in fall. Many celebrities have already starting bringing back this exciting color!
Here are some ways to add electric blue to any outfit...

Breast Cancer Awareness month is here, and there are so many ways to get involved and help donate. One of my favorite and easiest ways to help out is to SHOP! There are many designers and stores that are offering products where a percentage of the proceeds are being donated to breast cancer. Here are a few of my favorite items that are supporting the cause.
