Save Up To 80% On Luxury High-End Fashion And Accessories At RowNine.com!

image
Sometimes you have to dig through a lot of fluff to find a true gem. Translation: most stores are filled with a lot of things we really don't want, and not nearly enough of things we actually do want. Or maybe we're all just picky, and while there's a time and a place for a leisurely stroll through a store's web site or even a frantic sale section search, sometimes you just want what you want, you know? That's what makes RowNine different from every other invite-only sample sale website out there. The site is 100% dedicated to high-end luxury brands and products, meaning you won't have to sort through virtual racks of Juicy Couture on your quest for Versace and Montblanc (not that we don't love our Juicy, but you get the idea). RowNine's unparalleled selection of handbags, eyewear, timepieces, and other accessories is coupled with a high-end concierge service to bring the plush brick and mortar shopping experience online. Founded by retail experts whose portfolios include La Perla, Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, and Piaget, among others, RowNine presents a completely unique and highly customizable luxury shopping experience, at member-only prices- you could save as much as 80% off retail. Interested? Click here to join RowNine today!

Be One With The Woodsmen And Warm Up In A Trapper Hat!

image
I'm not gonna lie -- while the cozy cable knits and warm faux fur of a basic trendy trapper hat look too comfy to pass up, this winter's hottest accessory isn't necessarily for everyone. It takes a certain winter style to pull off this bundled-up woodsy look, especially since it can easily bring to mind childhood memories of getting wrapped up like a Christmas present every time you wanted to play outside. The key is to not take the trend too seriously -- treat trapper hats like a casually thrown-on accessory, instead of a frostbite-killing survival tactic. When added to a full-on set of snow gear, the look is a little more functionally overboard than fashionable, but with just a thermal and a pair of rosy cheeks the look is cute without looking costume-y or childish. Browse through the slideshow for a festive bunch of my favorite trapper hats!

Bag Of The Week: The Kooba 'Jagger' Bag

image
I'm sure I'm not the only one by far, but I am guilty of having an extensive handbag collection of all different shapes and styles. In recent years, however, I have matured from snatching up any cute purse and taking it home, only to realize that it doesn't actually match anything I own and have it just sit there until I obtain an outfit that goes with it. Instead, I have wised up and learned to invest in a well-made, high-quality piece that is versatile and convenient, as well as trendy but classic at the same time. That may seem like a lot to ask from one bag, but the 'Jagger' bag from the Kooba Holiday '09 Collection easily delivers all those qualities. The soft leather, the subtly edgy zipper detail and the classic shape make the Kooba 'Jagger' Bag a must-have bag that works for so many occasions from work to play and back again. Plus, it comes in a variety of colors, meaning you can choose the best look for you, so make room for this pretty bag in your purse family!


What: the Kooba 'Jagger' Holiday '09 Bag
Price: $595.00
Where to Buy: Kooba
Who: Idabone was the first to add the Kooba 'Jagger' Bag to the Hive!

From LimeLife: Ashley Greene's Stunning Last-Minute "New Moon" Premiere Look

image
We think it's pretty easy to agree that Ashley Greene looked absolutely stunning at the premiere of "New Moon" the other night. But did you realize how last minute Ashley's dress was? This has us truly believing that Ashley Greene is a really incredible fashionista. Ashley's beautiful red dress is a Prabal Gurung and we're so glad she chose it because it suits her absolutely perfectly. But Ashley hasn't been planning this look for months and months. In fact, she chose it right before the big "New Moon" premiere. She says she had another dress all ready to go, but then she says that at the last minute, "I decided I didn't like it and we had to start from scratch." We can imagine that must have been pretty stressful! But it was such a big event for Ashley, we're sure she wanted to look as perfect as can be. She continues, "I stopped by the tailors right before I got here to pick up the dress." You definitely wouldn't have known it from looking at her; it seems that everything worked out just perfectly. Click over to LimeLife to read more about Ashley's red carpet style.

Style Flashback: Clarissa From 'Clarissa Explains It All'

image
"Clarissa Explains It All" had us hooked on SNICK (that's Saturday Night Nickelodeon for those of you who don't remember) from the moment it debuted. We loved how Clarissa broke the fourth wall to let us into her world and we can still sing along with the show's theme song ("naaah nah nah na-na...way cool"), but it was her eclectic teenybopper style that had us always coming back for more. To help us recreate Clarissa's look for today we checked in with our fashion expert Brian, who had some great tips.


Brian says: Clarissa's style might be a little too retro (and not in a good way) for today, but you can still capture the essence of her look without getting sideways glances on the street. Swap her button-front shirt with a fun peasant blouse and substitute a pair of girly ballet flats for her boring black shoes.

"Twilight" Madness: Which "New Moon" Merchandise Is Creepiest?

image
At the risk of sounding super dorky, I'll admit that I've read the Twilight series... more than once. And sure, if I had to pick, I guess I'd say I'm on Team Jacob, but I mean... I wouldn't exactly call myself a Twi-hard. So what if I saw "New Moon" at midnight?! Alright, fine, I'm kind of a Twilighter... but I'm definitely not alone! After all, it's hard not to succumb to the year's ultimate guilty pleasure when you're surrounded by it everywhere you look -- and in light of the "New Moon" Westwood premiere last Monday, "fanpire" fever is undoubtedly in full effect if it hasn't been already! T-shirts, jewelry, makeup... you can hardly go into your favorite store anymore without seeing something emblazoned with R-Pattz's face on it. However, despite my borderline inappropriate crush on Taylor Lautner, I'm a firm believer that there are certain boundaries that need to be observed when it comes to obsessing. Sure, the very nature of the vampire-centric series is eerie in itself, but some Twilight toys and t-shirts take fangirl freakiness to a whole new level. I mean, what is the purpose of a life-size cardboard cutout? And no matter how badly you may want your own icy Edward Cullen to snuggle with, do you really need a duvet cover with his face on it? Vote below on what "New Moon" paraphernalia is the most ridiculous!

Welcome to the Jungle: Animal Prints Inspired By Dolce & Gabbana

image
Animal prints have been around forever, since the near beginning of time. So it's not surprising that that they come back in fashion periodically. From leopard print to zebra prints -- you name it -- everything from the jungle will be welcomed this fall. Dolce & Gabbana have always been a huge fan of this wild style, making it their signature, and this fall other designers like Phillip Lim and Oscar de la Renta are embracing it as well. From realistic to abstract versions of the prints, they are everywhere and they're a bold way to add to some punch, pattern and texture to any outfit. Feeling risky? Go for a head to toe look inspired by the Dolce & Gabbana runway and pair a tastefully sexy leopard pencil skirt like the Mirror & Dash Leopard Skirt from Urban Outfitters with a Torn by Ronny Kobo bold shouldered long sleeve top. The different scaled prints and covered up shoulders make the look work, and at a fraction of the cost of the runway look! If a head-to-toe animal print is too much for you, try wearing an animal print top or shoe. Check out the slidshow to see ways to get wild with animal prints.

Jimmy Choo For H&M Collection Debuts For VIPs, And All Dignity Is Lost

image
On the eve of the official Jimmy Choo for H&M collection debut, I made my way to the retailer's flagship Fifth Avenue store in New York for a special pre-launch shopping event. Celebs, fashion professionals, and press made up the invitation list--par for the course at these shindigs. We're generally a jaded lot (or, at least, pretend to be). Anna Wintour walks within two feet of you in the tents during Fashion Week? Don't even blink (internally, though, you're hyperventilating). So imagine my surprise when upon entering the red-carpeted doors, I spotted many of my brethren in a state of downright frenzy, squealing over stilettos and gleefully grabbing as many handbags as they were allowed. The store itself was tricked out with glamorous sapphire draping, an open bar, and gourmet h'or dourves, but all eyes were on the shoe section where even the guests had to wait our turn to have a go. Christian Siriano and Michelle Trachtenberg were just some of the stars spotted in the fray, and as I left the store, there were apparently folks getting ready to line up overnight for the opening on Saturday morning. The H&M designer collections are a phenomenon I love for the fun, boy band crazy-like moments they create, especially when they can bring out the fashion fanatic in many of my seemingly "over it" colleagues, moi included. And next up on H&M's stellar collaboration roster? Sonia Rykiel, whose H&M lingerie collection launches December 5, with a spring collection debut to follow on February 10, 2010. Check out the slideshow for photos of some of your favorite celebs and the scene at the Jimmy Choo for H&M VIP shopping event!
