Bird

As I walked through stores to see what's new for fall, I was pleasantly surprised to see several "I want that" items  from Juicy.  Their new line of fall boots range from rain boots to more mature, sexy boots.  The duo who created Juicy, has a new line called Bird.  Designed and geared toward the mature fashionista, everything is made in subdued hues such as grey and black.  More classic and timeless items such as constructed leather jackets without embellishments. No loud, brightly-colored sweatsuits, but tailored cardigans and slim fitting pants.  What do I say to that? Oh Thank Goodness, a change has come.

Weekend Deals

This weekend there were deal sightings everywhere I turned on the streets of L.A.  from downtown to the west side. This economy has desperate retailers cutting out the middleman and selling direct to consumers.  There were flea market sales, blowout sales and racks of clothes up and down 3rd St.  The Buffalo Exchange is a great place for current, inexpensive pieces. Some shops were offering free water and additional discounts to get rid of their stock.  If you want a bargain, all you have to do is look.  

The Kain Affect

Of course, a white tee is a staple in any woman's closet but not just any white tee. The Kain tee is unconstructed, loose fitting, comfy and sexy.  The loose hanging pocket is its signature identity mark. The tee comes in many hues but I prefer simple ones like black, white and grey.  Simple in look but not simple in style. You can't have just one.

Sole Perspective

Get ready reality show junkies & fashionistas.  Another reality show is coming our way called Sole Perspective. Instead of a clothing competition, this show has contestants taking us inside the world of footwear design and shoe making.  After managing a few shoe stores and learning what it takes to hold it all together, we'll be seeing a lot of glue.

Cocktails Anyone?

Fact: A small thing can make a huge impact. Cocktail rings are doing just that.  The other day, I found myself trying on so many that I didn't realize how much time passed.  Teens and all, many of us swarmed the accessory bin trying on ring after ring. Affordable and cute, I saw some priced as low as $4.  Let's raise our arms and toast because cocktails are always in style.

Here Kitty Kitty

This cat is everywhere (on jewelry, clothes, pillows, furniture, and more) but it's amazing how it keeps reappearing.  Hello Kitty and Asics have joined forces to produce sneakers.  Available Nov. 1, 2009, to some, this may be a match made in fashion heaven.  You can get them online at Sanrio or in one of the limited locations such as N.Y, San Fran or Hawaii.  Stay posted to find out where she'll turn up next.

Marc Jacobs Takes Another Dive

Everything he touches turns to gold.  Why not this?  Marc Jacobs has a new swimwear line just for kids.  His line is  called "Little Marc" and the suits hit stores next year.  He's created adorable matching swimsuits for mom and child.  Everything in miniature is adorable and irresistible.
