Introducing Elise Overland

    Filed under Lust Of The Day.

Fashion's darling is new to INTERMIX! Elise Overland is an enormously talented designer with a cult following, who love her edgy rock 'n' roll style (her past successes include a stint designing the on-stage frocks of Steven Tyler, so she knows rock 'n' roll).

Lest you think her spring collection is frothy and feminine, think again.

We're loving her for black, black and more black. Every piece we've selected is perfect (of course) -- the biker jacket, the cowl neck dress, the sequined throw and... the cocktail short. Who doesn't need a pair of sequined cocktail shorts? If you do, then we want your life. ;)

Sonia Petite

    Filed under Lust Of The Day.

sonia.jpg
Sonia Rykiel's outrageous studded, crystalled, fringed and fancied handbags are true collector's items. Here we have "Sonia Petite" -- a sleek, small and creamily soft leather handbag with just as much fun as you find in her more capacious creations.

It measures a compact 8" x 11", but don't be fooled by its size... it is studded and fringed (on both sides) and totally outrageous. It's the perfect bag for zipping around with all of your essentials, but in the hands of Ms. Rykiel there's definitely no need to make "essential" boring.

Stud Fringe Handbag (available in turquoise, rose or black), $945

A little lust for a Monday morning does a girl good. All we have to say is...

If you only buy one evening dress in your entire life, make it this gorgeous chiffon and sequin confection from Matthew Williamson!

(Our model agrees -- have you ever seen anyone look so happy?)

Chiffon Beaded Racer Back Dress, $2700

Victor Osborne

In addition to creating gorgeous hats, Victor Osborne is all about thinking local. He works with emerging designers to create new shapes and all hats are produced locally (near his home in New York City).

We love his glamorous style. A case in point is this "villa" sunhat, which is obviously made for shading yourself whilst lounging on the terrace of your Italian villa.

Do visit our petite (but soon to grow) Victor Osborne collection here.

And should you wish to have Mr. Osborne design your very own custom creation, we invite you to visit his website here.

Our Favorite Vest!

    Filed under Lust Of The Day.

fringevest.jpg
We've thoroughly covered the vest trend in terms of little suede beauties decorated with fringe or studs... so now it's time to turn our thoughts to warmer weather and the overwhelming need for the essential vest in silk.

Everyone in our office immediately needed to own this adorable little topper from Leyendecker, which is styled in silk chiffon but is much heavier (and less delicate) than you would expect. It adds a perfect touch of sassy fun to your casual ensembles, from Current/Elliott shorts and a tee to the season's must-have harem pants.

We encourage you to grab your vest while you can... it's selling out! It's available in both a creamy white and black for every fashion mood.

Silk Fringe Vest, Leyendecker, $295

Tucker by Gaby Basora is forever and again one of the bestselling lines at INTERMIX.

Ms. Basora has always immersed herself in fashion and art from her days as a wee little girl, Life led her to NYC (Sarah Lawrence College), which led her to travel to every corner of the city searching for obscure little shops, interesting fabrics, fascinating cuisines and new experiences.

Along the way she always, always received compliments on clothing she had designed for herself. Inspiration struck. She made the first, perfect Tucker blouse in one fabric, and then in fifty. Friends told friends about this amazingly simple blouse that was one every woman should own... and luckily she can own more than one because Ms. Basora constantly offers a diverse range of fabrics and prints.

This spring we're delighted to introduce two new styles from Tucker, both absolutely perfect: the little flared cami and the jumpshort romper.

We'd Like You to Meet Ethel

If ever a handbag deserved fashion lust, it would be a handbag from Chloe. How to choose amongst all the fabulous styles to be had?

It's very difficult. But if you must, we are partial to Ethel. It's iconic shape has been seen on the arms of just about every A-lister and fashionista you can think of. It's not quite a tote, not quite a satchel -- simply a perfect all-purpose handbag.

Our Ethel is styled in glazed leather in a gorgeous hazel, as in hazelnut. It's impeccably detailed. And it rings in at $1295, which is a) why it's our Lust of the Day and b) why it's a wonderful example of a fashion investment piece.

Say hello to Ethel right here.

Gorgeous In Pink

We all say "pretty in pink," but when it comes to this Robert Rodriguez dress we beg to differ... it's gorgeous!

Our favorite evening dress of the season is what we call a "confection" of silk chiffon. We especially love the draping and layers of the skirt -- the first is slit up the front, which rests over the inner solid layer.

The overall look is ethereal, and very very feminine. And the color... a to die for tulip pink (it also comes in black for the femme fatales among us.

>Strapless Silk Chiffon Dress, Robert Rodriguez, $875

It is centered with a ginormous lion head in gold metal, which is hard to miss. All the better to highlight a tiny waist. You've worked so hard for it, why not show it off?
