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!

Recession Chic: Cute Boots For $100 Or Less!

image
Every woman, whether she admits it or not, has a shoe addiction. Stiletto pumps should have a home in every woman's closet and strappy anythings add sex appeal to any outfit. The real power player in the woman's shoe department, however, is the boot. Tall, heeled, slouchy or whatever the style, boots always make a statement when you put them on. Whether you're trying to achieve casual comfort, add an edgy vibe, or be an all-out sex kitten, there's a style of boot that will do it for you. With all the variety in boot fashion that is now available, it's not a bad idea to invest in a quality pair or two to add to your shoe collection. Quality leather boots can be a little hard on the wallet and, while I'm not saying that they wouldn't be worth it, maybe your bank roll just can't quite handle a designer pair at the moment. That's no excuse or reason to not join the latest shoe craze and rock some killer boots so click on the slideshow to see some favorite leather boots for $100 or less!

Vintage Fashionistas Savor Gray This Season!

image
When searching for vintage clothing online, it's important that you use the right keywords to find what you want. And heaven forbid you're looking for something gray, because well, there's gray (the American spelling) and then there's grey (the British spelling). Of course, since vintage clothing sellers on both sides of the pond spell this color both ways without any sensible rhyme or reason, the wise online vintage shopper knows to plug both spellings into their search engines. If you do, you'll be rewarded with a smorgasbord of vintage treats in this classic, conservative neutral. Try substituting darker charcoal shades of gray for black. Or choose pale shades of gray to take the place of white. Morning, noon or night, for dresses, coats or evening gowns, gray is a fabulous wardrobe choice for a vintage fashionista. Just click the slideshow to see this week's selections!

Haute Deal: Badgley Mischka-Style Sequin Pumps For Under $25!

image
It's no news that the trend this season is to drench just about anything in sequins: blazers, cardigans, tanks, etc. And as a girl who is instantly drawn to anything with a little sparkle (like a kitten to catnip), I'm all about the emergence of bedazzled pumps, just in time for holiday cocktail parties and New Years' Eve -- the ultimate excuse to bling yourself out like a human disco ball. However, fancified heels usually come with an super-showy price tag to match, like these lust-worthy Badgley Mischka Hart Pumps ($190) that would most likely have me dropping the shoe back on the rack like a hot coal. Lucky for us bargain hunters, however, good ol' Forever 21 has a nearly identical pair (can you tell which is which?!) for a mere $22.80! Considering a sturdy pair of sequin pumps probably aren't what you'd consider an everyday wardrobe staple, I think it would be safe to opt for the style steal in this case. But if you've got the extra $167.20 and really feel the urge to spend it for the sake of the designer name (okay, and the extra sequins on the heel), it's up to you!

Just because we shop on a budget (or let's be honest, try to) doesn't mean we want to look like everyone else!

We're giving eVanity.com online shopping sprees to the top three winners in Stylehive's "The Hunt" contest. Entering is easy- just go to eVanity.com, bookmark your favorite Vanity items, and encourage others to hive your items as well by sending messages to your followers.
