H&M Celebrates with Matthew Williamson

Yesterday we showed you an adorable photo of Mary-Kate taken while she attended a party that was celebrating the collaboration between H&M and Matthew Williamson. We figured if MK is looking this adorable there must be a fashionable crowd at this event. We still think MK stole the show...but here are some of our other favorite pics from that evening:





From top to bottom: Alexis Bledel, Amanda Setton, Erin Fetherston, and Helena Christensen.

Lookin' Fab


Mary-Kate Olsen stepped up her style when she attended the NYC launch of the Matthew Williamson for H&M collection. Mary-Kate wore a very edgy belt over a one shoulder little black dress...and added a bright violet cardigan over it. We just love her in purple!!! What do you think of MK's look?

Pick of the Day


I love wearing sundresses when it is warm outside...but I also love being comfortable. This Sunrise Colorblock Dress from Mod Cloth is absolutely adorable and effortlessly chic. Wear a cardigan over it to make it office appropriate during the workday...pair it with sandals and a tote bag for the weekend...or dress it up with some heels and jewelry for a night out. This jersey dress is very versatile, and you'll look stunning no matter how you wear it.

Would You Wear This?


Usually I think that Leighton Meester is right on target when it comes to her fashion sense. I'm always wishing I had her wardrobe. But then I come across this picture...eeeeekkkk!!! I don't know if it is the color that I hate...the crazy cut of the outfit...or a combination of both, but I it is all sorts of wrong! I don't think there is anything about this outfit that is flattering at all. What do you think of this look? Would you wear it?

Pick of the Day


This Pleat Ruffle Dress from the Twelve by Twelve collection at Forever 21 stopped me in my tracks. I know some of you probably hate pink...but I just love it. And especially this bold bugglegum shade...it's my favorite! If you love the style but the color isn't for you, not to worry. It also comes in black.

It is a woven sleeveless dress with pleated trim, side inset pockets (yes, POCKETS!), and attached waist tie. It has a hidden side zipper closure and satin lining.

We think this dress would be perfect for a summer wedding or cocktail party!

Lauren Conrad Line @ Kohl's

Looks like there is more fashion designer news from the girls of The Hills. Just yesterday we were showing you the lookbook for Whitney Eve, and today we find out that Lauren Conrad is collaborating with Kohl's department stores.

"It is a California chic line," she tells Usmagazine.com of the new brand, called LC Lauren Conrad. "It is a little more casual. They are basically trying to take that California style and make it accessible everywhere."

The prices of this collection will range from $20-60 and will become available this October. Initially this is just going to be apparel...but may eventually expand to include shoes, jewelry, handbags, intimates, and sleepwear.

Are you looking forward to checking out Lauren's affordable collection at Kohl's?

Whitney Eve Fall '09 Line

I'm so excited for Whitney Port (from The Hills and The City). She has just put together the lookbook for the Fall 2009 Collection of Whitney Eve. I gotta say...I LOVE IT! I love the colors and the fabrics she uses. Definitely something I would wear. Heidiwood this is not...thank goodness!



What Whitney says about her collection:

I think the collection reflects my fresh New York angle mixed with my easy, comfortable aesthetic of Los Angeles. The collection is fresh, fun, flirty and sophisticated! Or at least I'd like to think it is :)


What do you think of of this collection? Is it something you would wear?

Pick of the Day


One store that always has the most adorable dresses is Anthropologie. The dresses that are in their collection this season put a huge smile on my face...in particular this Sweet-As-Pie Dress by Floreat. Wear it to work, out on a first date, or even to a BBQ. And the best thing about wearing a bold frock like this is that you don't even have to accessorize if you don't want to. The dress alone is all you need to look 100% pulled together.
