The Sister Act

    Filed under Lust Of The Day.

dannijo.jpg
Twentysomething sisters Danielle and Jodie Snyder combined names as well as design wits when it came to launching DANNIJO, their line of eclectic accessories that couple industrial metals with neon baubles. Started in 2008, the hand-made accessories line was purely organic seeing as how the pair first delved into jewelry design when they took it upon themselves to take crash courses in wire work while sifting through their doctor dad’s medical bag. So it was only fitting that post-college and following stints in men’s accessories for Sam Edelman and in sales for a fine jewelry designer, Jodie and little sis Danielle set up shop inside their 1-bedroom apartment/office/workshop.

Pieces from the pair currently outfitting our wrists and digits come straight from their New York-inspired Haring collection. Projecting the eccentricity in hues and shapes of artist Keith Haring’s iconic neon graffiti art mural on Houston at Bowery, the collection is peppered with neon Swarovski crystals and dangly silver chain links. Our fave must-have cocktail ring is the Andi Ring ($120) with a neon yellow bauble practically the size of a jawbreaker in the center surrounded by tiny white Swarovski crystals. But neon neophytes take note as the stackable Clia mini cuffs ($220) come in the same electric yellow shade albeit done with a lighter hand as the cuffs are just dotted with crystals in a circle and marquise shaped pattern.

One thing’s for sure, fashion darlings have decidedly taken note of the pair with pieces appearing on the necks and wrists of A-Listers from Natalie Portman and Milla Jovovich to Gossip gals both on and off the set. As for the sister act, they’ve just capped a whirlwind fashion week! The girls started the week as co-hosts at Henri Bendel’s Fashion’s Night Out fete before moving onto the runway debuts of their two capsule collections (a 1920s Art Deco-inspired one for Carlos Campos as well as a stars-and-stripes focused line for Bensoni that channeled the All-American girl); both debuts were sandwiched in between outfitting models at the Walter and Nima Taherzadeh shows. And thrown in for good measure, a Today Show featurette last Thursday that showcased a day in the life of the twosome capped the weeklong fashion frenzy.

A bit of whimsy for a Friday night... we love these twinkle twinkle little star suede pumps from Balmain. They are embedded with the teeniest crystals so the effect is little flecks of sparkling stardust whenever you take a step. A lovely way to walk into the weekend.

Diamante Suede Pumps, Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain, $775

A Little Romance

    Filed under Lust Of The Day.

There's always and time and a place for the basic tee. However, should you wish to upgrade to the luxe tee look, LNA has kindly provided a little romance for us...

We're loving how in their hands the classic loose fitting tee is transformed into a fashion piece, simply with a touch of lace. Specifically, this feminine tee is styled with a large inset of lace that basically takes over the rear view. In a season of "back treatments," this is one of the prettiest you will find. It's available for preorder now in black or white (or why not both?).


Rose Lace Tee, LNA, $98

Every once in a while there comes a piece that takes us beyond everyday "yes, I lust for that" and into the realm of "I will die if I do not have that."

Such is the impact of this gorgeous tote from Chloe.

It has "this season's" snap lock closure, to be sure, but it is way beyond being tied to a season... it is simply a spectacular wear it forever bag. The end.

Oversized Ostrich Textured Tote, Chloe, $1995

Simply Iconic

Style must run in the family... we now adore Ruby Kobo's iconic new jewelry collection just as much as we adore her sister Ronny's Torn by Ronny Kobo collection.

Ruby is inspired by iconic symbols of ancient times, all of which still resonate today. The hamsa, the evil eye, the Tibetan skull... they have fallen under her spell in the form of exquisite collector's items.

We invite you to peek at her new collection right here.

Mon Petite Chloe

    Filed under Lust Of The Day.

Mon cherie amor... a truly charming little delight of a handbag.

This petite lovely from Chloe is the ultimate PM bag. You will never need another. End of conversation. It is shaped like a wee camera bag and tipped at either end with gold link tassels encased in rows of sparkling crystals. The detail is amazing, and the price is as well, but hey -- that's what you get for perfection.

Petite Leather Tassel Bag, Chloe, $1295

Introducing The Battalion

    Filed under Lust Of The Day.

Even though it's 2009 and we should know better, the term "eco-friendly fashion" brings homespun life on the prairie thoughts to mind. We are one with the planet now because The Battalion has restructured our thoughts on eco-fashion forever.

Sister duo Linda and Chrys Wong have married the concept of sustainable fashion with killer style. That means we have fabric made from the fiber of organic crops. A recycled manufacturing process. A shipping structure that minimizes their carbon footprint. Digital design. Biogradable shipping materials.

And did we mention fashion pieces that are fun, irreverant and iconic? Thus we bring to you shredded with a twist, and one of our bestselling tees right now:

Fringe Back Tee, The Battalion, $98

Introducing Victor Osborne

    Filed under Lust Of The Day.

victor.jpg
Victor Osborne does things old school. One would not call him a "hat designer" -- he is a milliner in the finest tradition of millinery, which is a fine tradition indeed. As a matter of fact, he even works out of an atelier in Williamsburg, New York -- kind of an oxymoron if you know Williamsburg, but we digress.

Mr. Osborne and his cadre of up and coming designers attend to their hats one by one, styling them in luxe wool felt (for fall) with extraordinary craftsmanship. Should you visit him in Williamsburg you can commission a custom made hat, or you could visit his ever-changing Eyelevel Gallery, which is a fine art gallery exhibition space retailer kind of thing -- another tradition returning for a new generation.

Should you not be commissioning your hat any time soon, we do encourage you to visit our Victor Osborne collection.

Trudy by Vera

    Filed under Lust Of The Day.

trudy.jpg
We began receiving phone calls and emails for begging for Trudy long before she made her wicked way to us.

First of all, Trudy is Vera's signature foldover boot, which is one of the key trends for fall. We then add the belt and buckle detail and killer wedge heels, and the result is a standout pair of boots to take you through the season. It's that simple.

Trudy Tall Foldover Wedge Boots, Vera Wang Lavender Label, $525

Mega Wattage

Amy-Chan.jpg

Celebs like Sarah Jessica Parker, Cameron Diaz, Sofia Coppola and Kate Moss love handbags from Amy Chan for their dazzling red carpet impact. Her signature Mosaic Tile collection is created with a special process that laminates fabric with plastic tiles. As they march in their little rows, the effect becomes that of a mosaic.

So lovely are her bags that they have been featured in exhibits at several museums, including the Guggenheim and the Museum at FIT in New York and the Musee du Mode in Paris. And, of course, in your closet.

Pleated Mosaic Clutch, $395
Harpo Mosaic Hobo Handbag, $595

Modern Military

    Filed under Lust Of The Day.

SBL.jpg
We're feeling a need for tailored military style. The trends:

Pea Coats
Army Jackets
Trench Coats
Combat Boots
Epaulettes
Embellishment
Double Breasted Cuts
Major Snaps and Buckles

But we don't like it straight up... the way to make military modern is to mix it up with what you already own or a few chosen updates like leggings, leather, a feminine blouse, a denim jacket.
