Dress For Uptown While Partying Downtown With Abigail Lorick's Fall 2009 Collection

Less than two years ago, former model Abigail Lorick was a newcomer in the fashion design scene and was touted as a designer to watch out for. By a stroke of fortune, once Gossip Girl producers used her clothing line, Lorick, to double as Eleanor Waldorf's label, her ascent to fame has been unstoppable. Whether you like Gossip Girl or not, it's hard to deny the appeal of tailored classic and ladylike clothing. A definite turn from the lavish tea party-like presentation of Spring 2009, her newest collection was presented in a stripped down loft space. Lack of decor aside, the Lorick line still evoked an era when people minded their Ps and Qs, but always get what they want. Whatswear.com's editors attended her Fall 2009 presentation where they were quickly transported to 1950s Paris with a dash of Tim Burton gothic flair. Click on over to Whatswear and read up on what they thought of the troubadour and what every Lorick lady will be wearing come Fall 2009.

Give The Gift Of Hermes For The Holidays!

The first thing that comes to mind when we hear Hermes is Birkin. Or Kelly. Or waiting list. Or...Posh Spice. But there's much more to the Parisian luxury brand than virtually unattainable handbags named after beautiful actresses and genuine royalty, and with the holiday season in full swing, there's no better time to explore the world of Hermes for yourself, or for someone else. Need a gift for your mother, grandmother, or stylish-beyond-her-years friend? An Hermes silk scarf is your answer. So timeless and versatile, they can be tied on to a handbag, worn around ponytail or as a hair scarf, or looped around the neck any time of year. Hermes fragrances carry the same intrigue as their elusive accessory counterparts- they're not nearly as ubiquitous as other designer perfumes, but fall under the same price range, making them the perfect gift for the girl who won't spritz just any scent on her wrist. Hermes jewelry and watches blend classic leather with ornate styling for pieces that have signature appeal, ensuring they'll be loved for years to come, and to bring some Hermes into your home, check out Bluefly's tabletop collection. And if nothing but a Birkin will do, let us introduce you to Portero.com, where you can bid on genuine Birkin handbags- complete with heftier than hefty price tags, of course, but you already knew that. Click the slideshow for ways to give the gift of Hermes this holiday season.
