Army Girl

    Filed under Lust Of The Day.

If you are into the casual cool look of the army parka lined with fur, then we would like to introduce our bestselling jacket.

Laura Parker represents new territory for Torn, our beloved tee shirt brand. And it's safe to say that Ms. Ronny Kobo's first outerwear piece is a major success.

We love the mix of the true army jacket style and fabric with the lusciousness of a rabbit fur lining. You won't be able to wear it right this second, but you will be sure that you have snatched up one of the last few pieces left of this bestselling style.

Well Engineered

WISHLIST.jpg
We are delighted to announce the return of WISH LIST, which is LA designer Jeffrey Campbell's bestselling engineer boot from last year. This time around it comes to us in black leather and in brown suede, both of which have that rugged look that is so essential for an engineer boot.

If you have never been an engineer, you should know that the boots have a rounded and extremely hard toe, all the better to protect you from falling metal beams as you make your way around day to day.

We suggest that if you would like a pair of these boots you order them now, as they are selling out as quickly as you can read this sentence.

The cropped outerwear jacket gets saucy for fall, with much more personality than you typically see with your same old same old fall jacket.

Here are trends to watch for:

- Asymmetric zippers inspired by leather biker jackets

- Toggles and other schoolgirl touches

- Huge flap collars and hoods to add instant drama

We've picked five key jackets we're loving right now, and you can see them right here.

No More Bad Hair Days, Please

    Filed under Lust Of The Day.

We all have them -- days when your hair simply won't cooperate with your inner vision of fashion fabulousness. Those are the days we all turn to hair accessories, and why not hair ornaments with more than a touch of glamour?

Please don't think of these glittering beauties from Jennifer Behr as PM-only accessorizing opportunites. OK, the mega glitz one might be reserved for evening, but a smaller, "simple" strand of crystals is a wonderful way to glam up what started out as a disaster.

Introducing EJ Shoes

    Filed under Lust Of The Day.

You know you're a true fashion lover if the concept of a new shoe collection from Elizabeth and James immediately sends you into a state of bliss.

After all, they've done clothing, they've done shoes, they've even done a coffee table book. So we ask ourselves, why should they not turn their enterprising fashion hands to a woman's favorite accessory?

We so await our full collection of shoes done in the quirky fashion style that can only come from the closet(s) of Mary-Kate and Ashley. In the meantime, our first selection has walked into our stores. It captures several of the season's trends -- booties, straps, cutouts -- but does so in a way that is looks more feminine than it does East Village. Do take a peek now.

Glove Story

    Filed under Lust Of The Day.

We love gloves. Slip a pair on, and you suddenly become glamorous. Even more so when your choice is in sinfully soft leather, perhaps edged up with chains or studs or even a perky little bow.

But which gloves to choose? We've narrowed the field for you by selecting the very best of the season from our favorite gloved ladies -- Carolina Amato and Lauren Urstadt.

Do take a peek at your perfect new accessory in our Glove Story.

Ladies Who Lunch (In Sequins)

    Filed under Lust Of The Day.

Wren.jpg
We love this twisted take on the classic "ladies who lunch" jacket.

Wren is a new line designed by Melissa Coker, who has this really interesting inspiration going on... everything from Dickens to Fitzgerald to "lost girls" and ingenues. Her pieces could be seen as vintage influenced, but after all is said and done (meaning you mix them into your wardrobe) they end up looking totally modern. While you might not be able to wear this sequin jacket to the office, you can definitely mix it with jeans for an casual evening out. It could actually become your go-to signature piece this fall. Watch for more to come from this designer.

Sequin Jacket, Wren, $385

Boot Joie de Vivre

    Filed under Lust Of The Day.

It's always a happy day when one of our favorite brands expands into a new line. Today is that happy day, as we are delighted to welcome our first footwear from Joie.

Joie's fall 2009 collection is inspired by the "renegade bohemian," and that bohemian definitely needs ruggedly chic combat style boots for her fall voyages. They are a great way to add downtown edge to your mix. You can of course wear them with jeans, but don't overlook the chance to pair them with tights and fall knits for a new look.

Lace Up Flat Combat Boots, Joie, $535

Pretty!

A bit of whimsy for a Friday afternoon... Jay Godfrey's big bow cami is the ultimate in feminine sweet. We love it mixed with everything from jeans to leather leggings (and rocker chic boots) to downtown it up a bit. Although it's perfectly adorable to go girly as well.

Silk Bow Cami, Jay Godfrey, $195

Made For Walking

    Filed under Lust Of The Day.

These boots were made for walking... they are walking right out the doors of our office and our stores. We love these See by Chloe boots!

They are the season's totally sexy over the knee style in a soft (but not too soft) suede. To add a bit of edge, they are studded with itty bitty studs in silver. And they are (as you can see) flat, which makes them incredibly comfortable. Our beloveds are great all-purpose boots with a lot of attitude.

Micro Stud Over the Knee Boots, See by Chloe, $715

Honoring MJ: The Moonwalk Tee

    Filed under Lust Of The Day.

The Date: March 25, 1983

That was the day Michael Jackson turned the world upside down with his gravity-defying moonwalk... one of those "where were you?" moments (for those who were around at the time). :)

Whether you were around or not, you can honor the King of Pop with our limited edition MJ Moonwalk Tee. We've created it in partnership with e.vil, and (if we do say so ourselves) it is perfect.

The tee is sheer white burnout jersey, and his moonwalking legs are styled in tiny black and white crystals.

EXCLUSIVE MJ Moonwalk Tee, INTERMIX, $115

You Need This: The Vest

    Filed under Lust Of The Day.

youneedthisvest.jpg
Today we turn our thoughts to the season's essential vest trend.

We do love pieces that are so easy to throw on and make a statement, and the vest hasn't been around as a must-have for quite some time. Fashion news... and we love them.

Our focus right now is on:

- Leather. For a transition into fall, the trick is a leather front and a canvas back. Lightweight on the wardrobe and on the wallet...

- Shredded. Watch for many, many, many versions of the shredded trend, including our Hero Crane favorite, which is a scarf gone mad into a wrappy top...

- Sexy. We love the look of a vest worn alone in a menswear cut with very feminine surprises like an extremely low back...

- Fur. Always a favorite as the dramatic fall into winter topper.

Take a quick look at our must-have selections right here.
