London Boutique Browns Fashion Launches 'Labels For Less' ...

If you online shop (or online window shop) as much as we do here at Stylehive, you've heard of Browns Fashion, the high-end London boutique that brings us eye candy in the form of all of the YSL and Balenciaga we could ever dream of someday owning. Well here's one for the bookmarks: Browns has recently launched Labels For Less, a discount site featuring designer goodies at up to 70% off. Once you get over the cheesy name, it's a great resource to have if you're in the market for hard-to-find labels like Raf Simons or House Of Holland. Are the goods still expensive? Well, yes, we're talking about Lanvin and Margiela here. But it's nice to know that when I finally stumble upon that winning lottery ticket or trust fund I never knew I had, I'll be able to afford way more designer goods than I had previously thought. I knew there was a silver lining somewhere in there!

Sea of Shoes' Jane Aldridge Designs Capsule Collection For ...

Lisanne Silverman on Jun 24, 2009 12:16 PM PDT

She's got a shoe collection that celebrities would surely covet, a blog that brings in tens of thousands of hits per day, and the styling ability of a seasoned fashion editor. Oh, and she's still in high school. Texas teenager Jane Aldridge chronicles her daily fashion adventures in her blog, Sea of Shoes, and while she makes buying a pair of Margielas sound as simple as stopping at Starbucks, her refreshingly whimsical tone and captivating photo shoots keep us coming back for more. We're not the only ones, though- Teen Vogue has featured her more than once, Kanye's sent her an email saying he's a fan, and now Urban Outfitters has helped her design a capsule collection, J. Aldridge by Sea of Shoes, to be available next month. Inspired by Jane's favorite designers, the three pairs incorporate elements of her ideal shoes, including heavy lace-up detail and avant-garde undertones. What do you think? Will you be checking out her collection at Urban Outfitters next month?

Face the Summer Sun - From the Future

Lisanne Silverman on Jun 18, 2009 5:25 AM PDT

Sunglasses are a necessity in the summer, and this season's trends appear to be heading in opposite directions. On one hand, you've got the oversized vintage look carried over from last year and featuring large, rounded shapes and subtle, smoky colors. They're very pretty, very feminine, and a bit reminiscent of Jackie O. On the other hand, there's a new futurism trend as well, and frankly it appears the sky is the limit where that is concerned. Galactic angular shapes, bold angles, and downright Devo-looking frames. If you're curious to try the new futuristic style of shades out, you may as well head to the edge of the galaxy and go for these Incognito glasses by Martin Margiela. Far out! See more from our friends at TheFind.
