Visit the Fashion’s Night Out website for a list of retailers, FAQs, videos and more to get you geared up and ready to shop.

Let me reiterate: JANE MAYLE IS BACK! The collection will include over 30 pieces–coats, dresses, handbags, and boots–and will hit their 19 E. 71st Street store on September 22nd.

High Holiday Dresses for Dinners

Every year the high holidays come around and you think to yourself, how did the year go by so quickly. Before you know it, it will be Thanksgiving. For the high holidays there are usually at least 2 nights of dinners. In Los Angeles it is usually really hot during the High Holidays so the dresses will need to be holiday appropriate and keep you cool. Here are some of my top picks for the 2 nights of dinner. One of my favorites is the Haute Hippie Wrap Dress which incorporates the fall trends of animal print and wrap dresses. It is such a pretty dress that you will pull out of your closet again and again. The under.ligne by doo.ri Long Sleeve Pleated Dress is a beautifully tailored dress with ruching in all the right places to help hide whatever you want to hide while accentuating all your assets.

Another really great dress is the clever Splendid Novelty Dress. I love the idea of this dress because it looks like you are wearing 2 pieces but it is actually a dress that looks like a tank dress and t shirt over it. This is great for someone who wants to be able to buy the dress and where it to more casual get togethers after the High Holidays. Just changing your shoes and jewelry will change this look completely. Another great dress is the crisscross ruched Riller & Fount Tropic Long Sleeve Mini Dress. This is a great little black dress that is High Holidays appropriate and good for just an evening out for drinks or dinner.

Shine On Year Round With These Sheer Body Shimmers

  • posted September 5th, 2010
  • Beauty

It’s okay, bathing beauties — I feel your pain. I know what it’s like to have to start saying goodbye to your gradually fading summer glow that you worked so hard to keep up all season long. And while there’s always the option of year-round upkeep via spray tans and color-rich bronzing powders and self-tanners, there’s something about getting your bronze on during the colder seasons that just seems… off. But just because the upcoming fall season doesn’t lend itself to a deep summer sun tan doesn’t mean you can’t still rock a glowing complexion in, say, a more natural yet enhanced version of your given skin tone. To help you have radiant, subtly shimmering skin even after our days of summer sun lovin’ are behind us, I’ve rounded up some of the best sheer body shimmers!

Scott Barnes Body Bling is a tried-and-true celebrity favorite (just ask J. Lo!) and the Platinum option provides less bronze-y color than the original with more focus on a flattering golden glow. On the other hand, if the idea of a spray shimmer is a total turn-off, let Tarte’s Celebutante Dry Oil totally change your mind — the non-greasy formula provides a gorgeous champagne-like glow to your skin that isn’t sticky, messy, or heavy. And for all you Urban Decay fans, the best-selling shadow Midnight Cowboy also comes in a lotion counterpart for all-over sparkle that won’t streak or stain. And lastly, for a temporary but gorgeous glow, dust on some of Cover FX’s Radiant Luminescent Loose Powder on decolletage, legs, shoulders, or wherever you need a little extra dose of fall/winter radiance!

Squiggle Activities Inspire Creativity

RandomLine has created a line of products to help combat the struggle to get the kids interested in something other than television and video games. Squiggle offers a wide variety of activities that do not include batteries or noise- just your imagination. Each activity features different prompts to squiggle, doodle and create different things.

Squiggle Monsters for ages 6 and up for example, features a dry erase board with 6 markers (which are stored in a compartment beneath the board) and three wheels that you spin to select a combination of monster features- like three eyes or 12 arms. After you’ve turned your initial squiggle into a monster, you get to give it character. There is a “fun facts” dry erase area where give your monster a name, occupation, favorite food etc.

Other Squiggle activities include educational, themed and on-the-go activity pads, games and wipe-off activity boards.  Prices range from about $5 to $20.  Inspire a little creativity in your kids with a Squiggle activity!

THE Shoes: United Nude Lo-Res Pumps

I waited, and waited, and waited for my birthday, so that I could rationalize buying these amazing United Nude Lo-Res Pumps!  Available in four colors, black, I thought was the best color to get the most ‘bang for the buck’, although I felt the magenta ones calling me as well! Rem D Koolhaas designed these with s semi-automatic design method, in which an object is digitally scanned into a 3D computer model and then recreated into various resolutions. Sounds cool right? They are! I’ve never seen such a pop out texture all over on a shoe before, and to add to the cool factor, the strap on the shoe can be removed, so that all you have is the all over 3D design. If you haven’t heard of United Nude before, the brand recently opened its first U.S. store on Bond Street in NYC, and can also be found online, or locate a store near you!

Vintage Pick Of the Day: Vintage 1960s Christian Dior Statement Necklace

  • posted September 3rd, 2010
  • Fashion


It’s the first week of school for many students and that got me thinking about some of my old teachers.

Mr. Tarone, if you’re out there, just let me say that while I remember very little of your 7th grade geometry class, I do remember that each of the circles in today’s VPOD has a diameter that is twice its radius and that I can find that diameter by dividing the circumference of each ring by pi.

And while I can honestly say I never needed to calculate the circumference of a circle outside of your class, all the proofs that I toiled over in your homework assignments did somehow instill a love and appreciation for shape, symmetry and order that has served me quite well over here in the fashion world.

Perhaps that’s why I’m mesmerized by this vintage 1960s necklace by Christian Dior. It’s a geometric marvel with its circles, spheres and perpendicular lines.

And it’s a very chic find for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Atelier-Mayer.
