Jean Paul Gaultier Is Next Up For Target!

Ida Hsiang on Oct 21, 2009 7:19 AM PDT

Jean Paul Gaultier is doing a Target collection, reports The Cut via WWD. The over-the-top designer's collection will be available at more than 250 Target stores across the country and Target.com on March 7 through April 11. Following Alexander McQueen and Anna Sui, Gaultier is the third established designer to do a collection for the mass retailer under the Designer Collaboration series. His chosen muse? The American woman, "celebrating the forces of style both past and present in American pop culture," a Target spokesperson says. I remember being thrilled by Gaultier's risque designs as a young girl (Madonna's cone-bra corset comes to mind). My mother's dislike of his iconic female/male perfume bottles only made me want them more; both still sit prominently displayed in my glass bathroom cabinet. This Frenchman holds a special place in my heart so I look forward to what he'll bring to Target audiences.

Stylishly Spooky Halloween Jewelry You'll Want To Wear All ...

Alex Gambardella on Oct 13, 2009 2:17 PM PDT

Who says you need a campy store-bought costume to be festive this Halloween? I'm all for dressing up, but there's more to getting into the haunted holiday spirit than black lipstick and fishnets. If you're a jewelry gal (but then again, what girl isn't?), there are tons of trendy Halloween-themed charms, pendants, bangles, and even cocktail rings that are bound to appeal to your inner trick-or-treater. This Swarovski Ghost Charm is an adorably festive addition to any charm bracelet or keychain, and if you aren't a huge arachnophobe like I am, this spider ring from Betsey Johnson is appropriately gothic-chic. But just because they're perfect for the spooky season doesn't mean they're too kitschy to wear after the 31st -- this skull-embellished wrap bracelet by Alexander McQueen will still be stylish even after all your candy has been devoured! Browse through the slideshow for some of my favorite festive jewelry!

Fashionistas And Design Enthusiasts Love Ireland's g Hotel

Anna Yu on Jul 8, 2009 4:19 PM PDT

To call Philip Treacy just a milliner is a severe understatement. While he is best known for his award winning hat designs and for his collaborations with Alexander McQueen and Chanel, did you know he's also the Design Director for the g Hotel in Galway, Ireland? It's no surprise that his whimsical hat designs have translated into hotel design as well. From the bubblegum Pink Lounge to seashell decorated rooms, Philip explains his designs as "hats people love to wear. With the g, I have created a place where people will love to be." The g has 101 rooms including the Evangelista Suite (where you can not "wake up for less than $10,000 a day"). All rooms have Treacy-designed Frette linens and even butler service! Take a look at my slideshow to see what living the avant garde life would be like at the g Hotel.

TheFind Says Hot Pink Is The New Black!

Alex Gambardella on Jun 25, 2009 5:17 AM PDT

Think PINK this summer as we transition into fall. The '80s influence continues and we are loving the sizzling hot hues, especially neon hot pink. The stark contrast of neon pink with black looks fresh, fun, and girlie for clothing and accessories. Pair a hot pink shell blouse with an oversized black boyfriend blazer and skinny jeans, or go from head to toe in a hot pink asymmetric dress. There are also loads of bright pink accessories such as this cheeky Alexander McQueen clutch, neon pink belt, or pink thong sandals if you're looking for just a dash of neon color. Check out more summer-to-fall trends at our friends at TheFind!

Silk Scarves Are Summer's Perfect Accessory!

kate napleton on Jun 22, 2009 10:25 AM PDT

Silk scarves are the perfect accessory. They're a wonderful burst of color, perfect for breaking up a summer outfit. Bad hair day? Tie one around your hair for a chic, bohemian look. One of my favorites for the season is Diane von Furstenberg's Techno Color Bark scarf, so fresh and cute. For a preppier look, there's the AKA New York floral finge scarf from Shopbop. The yellow, black and teal pattern would look just gorgeous with a white tee and jeans for a slightly dressier look for a day on the town. The Echo ethnic garden square silk chiffon scarf is a perfect beach companion. Check out my slideshow for other cute silk scarves for summer!
