Shoegasm Spring 2010
Temperatures have dipped again and, needless to say, I do not love it. But I can at least pretend it is warm out and entertain myself with spring shoe prospects.
I have been a Shoegasm fan for a while now so I have naturally checked out their Spring 2010 Collection. For those who don’t know Shoegasm, it is a popular NYC shoe boutique that houses some incredibly adorable designs. Check out my post about their fall shoes here. Some of my warm-weather picks:
Seychelles “Lola” $89.95 | Sky-high wedges with idyllic flavors are very S/S 10. Gold, strappy and high, these wedges will serve as a great go-to for a summer date, vacation on a cruise, and…beating the beat on the Jersey Shore (sorry, I had to). I especially love that interlaced detail in the center.
Chelsea Crew “Juliette” $69.99 | J.Crew-esque and charming, these are too cute for words. Just looking at this photo is inspiring so many outfit ideas in my mind right now. They look comfortable as well.
If you are from NYC, visit one of their three parlors in Chelsea, Flatiron and SoHo. You can also order by phone (212) 691-2091. Heads up! Shoegasm will launch e-commerce capability in the next few months – lucky us.
To check out more of their offerings, go to Shoegasm.com and definitely follow them on Twitter @Shoegasm because they are super sweet ladies.
Think warm and think Friday.

Gucci Spring 2010
If it is possible to have a crush on a line, it is definitely Gucci for me this Spring 2010. I love Frida Giannini for it. Before this season, billowy frocks always came to mind whenever I heard her name. But this season, she deviated from previous aesthetics and delivered a line that is more streamlined, athletic and modern.
Says Style.com, “It was a modernist streak she’s avoided in the past, preferring to take her girl into the realms of hippie and disco, but the change of direction gave the show a turbo-charged shot of adrenaline, ranking it as the best Giannini has done yet.”
The collection is glamorous, but it also has a power element to it. It has a bit of coldness as well, which I like. I like it when a look is a bit impersonable. Overall it is sleek, young and very sexy, and the detailing, cuts and accessories incredible. A lot of “wow” moments here. Get ready to scroll.

Chloe & reese designer to launch second line
I have for you a qualified gift from the fashion gods because we have all experienced that I-feel-fat-so-I-want-to-live-in-sweatpants-possibly-forever moment.
Annmarie Scotto-Dinan, designer of chloe & reese, will launch the first collection of designer dresses to incorporate shapewear technology. Considering what I saw from preview photos and her current chloe & reese pieces (which have been featured in Marie Claire, Glamour, Teen Vogue, etc), this new line, appropriately called SLEEK, will keep you both slimmed down and fashionable.
SLEEK designs are simple and classic — perfect foundation pieces you can carry through seasons and a great canvas to build on with jackets and accessories.
I had the amazing opportunity to interview Annmarie and learn more about her lines. She also provided some great tips for timeless style. Click here for the interview on Examiner.com.
Annmarie graciously offered words for us 20-somethings as well:
Celebrity Style Love: Camilla Belle
If there is one celebrity whose style I absolutely love, it is Camilla Belle. Her adventurous sense of style always grabs our attention and makes us wonder what she will be wearing next. But despite how daring her ensembles often are, she doesn’t make the mistake of looking like the clothes are wearing her.
Some of my favorites:
At last night’s InStyle Golden Globes afterparty in Giorgio Armani
In Alexander McQueen at the 2012 premiere
Rocking another Alexander McQueen stunner at the Push Premiere
I’d say Camilla Belle has such a fabulous track record because not only can she pick a good dress, she knows exactly what makeup and hairstyle to wear to pull the whole look together. She also tailors her clothes to perfection.

Style.com – Who’s Wearing Whom?
Style.com has a fun post about ‘Who’s Wearing Whom?‘ at the Golden Globes this weekend. As we know, red carpet fashion is all about which designer the A-list stars are wearing so it is interesting to see the picks Style.com made. I would say they hit the nail on the head. Some of my favorites:
Jennifer Aniston in Gucci
“Jennifer Aniston favors clean lines, and she often highlights her yoga-toned shoulders with a halter-style neckline. Our pick for the presenter is Gucci.”
Chloë Sevigny in Narciso Rodriguez
“Two things we know about Chloë Sevigny’s red-carpet style: The actress loves to show off her legs, and she never plays it safe.”
Kate Winslet in Victoria Beckham
“…Victoria Beckham’s stunning column would still be a winning look for Winslet.”
And, of course, I have to showcase picks of my own:
This pale gold Reem Acra dress with the gorgeous neckline would look great on Ginnifer Goodwin.
If there is anyone who can pull off a show-stopper like this from Elie Saab, it is Cate Blanchett.
I must have an affinity for gold tonight.. but, in any case, these two dresses are stunning, are they not? I am very much looking forward to what the stars will really wear this weekend.
