Olivia Palermo’s Necklace Collection

Remember MTV's show The City with Olivia Palermo alongside with Whitney Port who are both involved in the busy socialite life of New York City? Both are working for designer Diane Von Furstenberg and experiencing how a demanding fashion world can be. Both have earned an ability to become designers. Olivia has shown that she can take risks by putting different pieces of clothes and accessories together rather than being safe and going with the flow of recent fashions. She has presented her sophisticated taste & designer skill in creating necklaces collection for Roberta Freymann. Necklaces were inspired by her favorite city neighborhoods like Pairs, Berlin’s Mitte and Manhattan’s TriBeCa. Olivia's collection can be fun to play with meaning being able to incorporate it into a casual relaxed day look or an evening sophisticated ensemble. Her craftsmanship has given her a chance to show the fashion world that she is worthy of being called a designer along the lines of the fashionista that she is.

Christian Siriano for Payless

Project Runway's Christian Siriano has been my favorite winner in the past years. I think he definitely deserved to be on top among all other contestants due to his amazing talent in making clothes and shoes. His new gig is making shoes for Payless and they look good quality, high end and cost under $100.00, you can’t beat that!
Most Items in Payless stores look & made for its price but I think this time you would be surprised that high fashion has moved on to shelves of this retailer. Most people who are shopping here will probably be thankful for these heels being affordable and at the same time, fashionable and fun to wear.
Not only I love Siriano’s clothes but I also admire his talent for creating something for mass market meaning for everybody to be able to see and taste his products. I believe it might come from his humble way of digging into high fashion world with the background of being a “local designer”. Post effect of being a winner of Project Runway has contributed to his ability of becoming well known designer on the runways. And this is very competitive time especially when many other designers are going out of business due to last year's industry crisis. Way to go Christian!

Put On Those Dancing Heels
I am pleased to announce that Jimmy Choo has created some fun heels again. In addition to its bright colors, gladiator design, strippie platform and thick heel, there is an option of having them light-up as you walk. I think this is definitely something that no other heels have so consider it a new trend where your feet are in the center of attention. Jimmy Choos were never a bargain so having them be priced at $2495 might sound crazy but think of the effect that it has - Light-Up Disco Shoes.
For the ones who is looking for attention and wants to glow in the crowd, these would be a perfect combination. Light-Up Heels will definitely be a great addition to any "night in the town" outfit but make sure to have matching combination of clothing and jewelry.

Future of Chanel Without Karl

News came to life that Chanel will be looking or already looking for new successor to take Karl Lagerfeld's spot. It would be a tough decision since Chanel will be risking to loose Coco Chanel's taste and her personal touch in Karl's work. As we all know, Karl has been designing for Chanel since 1983 and has made it rise all away to the top. Karl has also been picked as one of the most influential people of the 20th Century by TIME Magazine .
After many years of being one of the most talked about designers, Karl will be taking a break and finally enjoying his personal freedom. His retirement is not official but people started wondering who will be the next Karl of Chanel. They have been gossiping about a possibility of Alber Elbaz becoming a new Chanel's designer. Elbaz has been recognized as another talented designer who has been working for Lanvin and who to make people instantly fell in love with his clothes.

Officially a Chanel Girl in the Chanel World
Have you ever heard anyone saying "oh, she is a "Chanel Girl"? Have you ever wondered what makes her a "Chanel Girl"? In my point of view, the sense of fashion which you carry over through the way you dress and present yourself with just a touch of Chanel. If you own at least one Chanel handbag, a couple of pieces of jewelry, possibly shoes or a tweed suit, you can be the one who is called Chanel Girl. The question is do you know how to wear them right? Some fashionistas spend a fortune on designer bags, shoes and jewelry but do they really carry out Chanel style in the proper manner, it is questionable.

For example, some buy Chanel to make themselves feel like they are on top of the world. It is all about their pride and belief that designer logos will make other people admire them more. Some are just enjoying the quality, look and feel of Chanel products and their unique design. To create something that people will be addicted to takes an extraordinary talent. Coco Chanel started this addiction and Karl Lagerfeld continued it up until this day. It is very important how you wear Chanel. You cannot mix and match it with any other logos. You cannot be too extreme with wearing everything at the same time. You should have a full introduction to Chanel products through reading biography of Coco and understanding meaning of each name given to her products.
I have visited many Chanel boutiques in different cities but I still like the one located in Boston's Neiman Marcus. I have been helped there several times by the same person and have kept all of my purchases to this day. A super nice lady Marina who is Chanel handbag specialist has been extremely helpful and certainly knows her "Chanel stuff". She has recommended me Purple Jumbo Classic which was sold out literally in a couple of days. After many months of looking for the color quilted jumbo flap, I approached her & she was able to find it in no time. She truly can make the magic and makes sure you are fully satisfied as a Chanel customer.
Chanel products are an investment which represents elegance, quality and distinctiveness known all over the world. Nothing beats its memorable little black dress from 1926 which was only the beginning of this haute couture fashion house.

Personalize your Cuffs with Jessica’s Help
I remember seeing lots of cuffs with lots of fun words engraved & was thinking what if I want to put my name on it or engrave a love message for my boyfriend. I guess Jessica Cushman thought the same thing since she now has a custom service which provides you with ability to choose anything you want to be written on the cuffs. They are made out of black and white plastic material. I think it is pretty cool and worth mentioning that you can only write upto 25 characters for an extra $35. I think the price is reasonable but the cuffs are pricey $130. Cuffs would be a perfect gift for an anniversary or birthday. Or spoil yourself on that day when you are feeling down and in need of something excitement. I would write up something like "LOVE FASHION AND POETRY" by KatyaUK. This is just one of the phrases to through out there!

The company was found in 1909 and considered to the the oldest retail business in United Kingdom

I have found bunch of jewelry which would match most of my outfits and a lot of them look like expensive pieces. Shoes are hard to find if they are under $100 but Dorothy Perkins shoes seem like they would be good for going out for a couple of seasons.
