Are we sure that Brian Atwood and Christian Louboutain are not brothers? Because they both definitely know how to make a pair of pretty little heels that warm the ladies hearts.
From the cool colors to the winter fabrics, these beauties could make me feel cozy even on the coldest of days.
Check out the Brian Atwood site for more styles...from metaillics, and snake print, to subtle sleek stilettos, there's really something for everyone.
Wow, wow, wow! Designer creativity never seems to disappoint. These days we're really trying to be more earth-friendly in our everyday lives, and this is definitely translating in to the fashion world! And guess what we're experimenting with now...
SALMON SKIN!
Designers like Issac Mizrahi are trying to make use of the byproduct otherwise unmindfully thrown out by fish processors. The final creations of these efforts have proven fish skin to be a quite useful material.
Love the shoes, and check out these beautiful palliates!! It's hard to believe.
Both environmentally safe and creative, salmon leather is responsible for many luxuries pieces! Check out this Icelandic designer, Unnurwear, whose main focus is to create eco-friendly collections from the innovative material.
I remember back in November 2007 when Roberto Cavalli did a collection for H&M. At the time I was living in Milan, and my History of Fashion professor took us to the opening day. It was fabulous: Roberto Cavalli, Milan, and H&M!
I'm even more-so excited for the new collaboration coming up this November with H&M and British designer Jimmy Choo! This is H&M's first partnership with an accessories designer, and it looks to be promising.
The line will include shoes, bags and accessories at affordable prices! Shoes will range from $59 to $200! What a steal for a to die for look by our favorite designer!
And don't worry gentlemen! A men's collection will be available as well! Keep your eyes out!
More goodness to come! Thanks to all of you who have been commenting, I really appreciate all the feedback. And let me know if you have any suggestions or ideas, or if you have your own blogs! I'd love to read them!
Love,
Marta
Leave it to Proenza Schouler to make us speechless! The Spring 2010 collection is vibrant and vivacious, and oh so wearable! Maybe it's the California girl in me, but I can't help but adore a surf themed collection!
"We wanted something young, something that felt fresh, so we looked to surfing and skating, the things we grew up on."
I love when a collection really reflects a distinct theme that has the power to transport the audience to another world, and this collection did just that--it brought me back to childhood naivety and pure pleasure!
Nostalgia may just be one of the most powerful tools, and I love how Proenza Schouler managed to convey this emotion through a fashion collection.
There's nothing like an inspiring collection from our favorite designer to start off a new fashion year, and who better to turn to than Diane von Furstenberg to do just that!
No one can deny von Furstenberg's eternal success in creating brilliant and luxuries pieces that make us feel fabulous.
The Spring 2010 "Queen of the Desert" collection, that debuted earlier this week at New York Fashion Week, emanates a tribal feel and incorporates a palette of bright colors, earth tones, and of course metallics (check out the shoes!).
Silk, embroidery, and coins all make their mark in the dress-based collection.
More angelic flowy fabrics, reminiscent of feathers, are also used in the collection in order to balance the more dominant fabrics.
Whether it's long flowing silk dresses or a more edgy structured look that you fancy, Diane von Furstenberg has it all!

The much anticipated Vogue documentary, The September Issue, has started hitting the theaters, and I know all of us fashionistas are dying to see what it's all about!
In the documentary, filmmaker R.J. Cutler follows Anna Wintour along with her Vogue team for nine long months as they devote all their energy and time to the September 2007 issue.
The film captures both the heaven and hell of the fashion world, and gives a real insider view of what it takes to start off the fashion year with bang!
Check out the trailer if you want to get even more excited!
If only I could get my paws on one of these Alex Bittar beauties! They're absolutely glamorous and chic!
Hand sculpted and painted, these bangles are crafted from a special plastic rediscovered in the jewelry world by Alex Bittar. They resemble the techniques used by Bakelite jewelers in the 1930's, and really add charm to one's accessory closet!
These shoes definitely hit the spot! Designed by Bruno Frisoni, they really have the power to make any drab outfit suitable for the runway.
