According to Vogue.com, the collection will consist of 400 pieces featuring clothes (women’s, men’s, kids’), bed sheets, dinnerware—all in Missoni’s swirls, zigzags, and near-hallucinogenic florals. Can’t wait to see how the collection turns out, mark your calendars for September 13 through October 22 to shop the collection at Target stores and target.com.

GILES DEACON FOR NINE WEST

After the super girly launch of the first Nine West shoelaborations collection featuring Sophie Theallet  up next for fall is Giles Deacon. Giles’ collection is a complete opposite of Sophie’s, it’s a tech-based collection mainly in black with flashes of bright colors. The collection consists of footwear, handbags and jewelry, there’s also Eek, a mouse-like character designed by Giles which is the iconic figure that is built into each style.

Giles Deacon said, “Partnering with a global footwear leader such as Nine West has given me the opportunity to expand my reach in the world of accessories and create a collection that reflects my design personality, while capturing the spirit of the brand. I was able to revisit one of my favorite motifs, Eek, and bring him to life through a completely new medium, which is exciting for me.”

The Giles Deacon for Nine West footwear collection will retail for approximately $99 to $149 for footwear, $99 for handbags and $26 to $34 for jewelry. Super affordable 🙂

LOVE!!!! SALLY HANSEN SALON NAIL EFFECTS NEW COLORS FOR SPRING!!

 

When Sally Hansen launched their Salon Effects nail polish strips back in January, I was instantly hooked. It turns out that a lot of other people were, too, because the brand cannot keep them in stock anywhere.

Sally Hansen is offering five new patterns–available this month–and they’re perfect. The best of the bunch is Don’t Get Catty (hot pink leopard) which is my obsession color or spring. LOVE!! There’s also: Ay Ay Captain (a blue nautical stripe), Check, Please! (black and white checks that bring to mind old school Vans), Show Your Stripes (a black and silver chevron pattern), and Wicked Bamboo (neutral stripes). Look for the new styles to hit drugstores everywhere over the course of May.

Club Monaco Fall 1 2011 Lookbook

I honestly hardly shop at Club Monaco mainly because I think it’s a bit overpriced but I’ve browsed the store several times in the past few months. There are definitely some great pieces in there, lots of timeless pieces that can be worn over and over. For its Fall 1 2011 collection, Club Monaco mixes 60s sundry with 70s sophistication, featuring a collection in a warm palette of cinnamon, berry and gem tones on clean shapes with touches of vintage wallpaper prints. Inspiration comes from the lifestyle of the 50s beatnik movement, David Bailey’s photography from Berlin in the 60s, Leon Levinstein’s street style photos, and the iconic style of the eras’ leading ladies, including Jane Asher, Edie Sedgwick, and Jean Shrimpton.

NEW TREND FOR SPRING: BOAT SHOES

It’s anchors away for this Gossip Girl come spring. Instead of the usual ballet flat, I have officially been encouraged to slip into a pair of boat shoes (or top-siders, to each her own). And Blake shows us exactly how to pull them off so we don’t look like we’ve borrowed our dad’s shoes. With tons of cool brands like Tory Burch and Steve Madden making their own boat shoes, I’m definitely aboard this trend.

Proenza Schouler To Launch Costume Jewelry

Proenza Schouler is currently looking into  launching fragrance, but it sounds like they’re entering another category first: costume jewelry. Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez apparently hope to launch the line — which is still in a prototype stage — during the upcoming pre-collection season. The idea, they said, is to make it a seasonless, classic line that will be reprised every season in different colors and materials. “It’s nice when you’ve put so much time into developing a product for it to have a life. So much stuff that we put out there, three months later, it’s gone,” said McCollough. [WWD]
