The Pearl Crown

Recessionistas, please pause for a cheap and chic alert. Wandering Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto yesterday, in search of a plain skinny black belt (not as easy as you might think, but that’s another blog), I wandered past the Free People Boutique on my way to J. Crew.

Darlings, pictured is Ms. Dita Von Teese, world-renowned burlesque queen and style idol. Don’t take my word for it; ask Marc Jacobs, Christian Louboutin or the many other designers who look to Ms. Von Teese for inspiration.

Celebrity Skin

The inspiration for this week’s missive came not from heaven, but from Saks Fifth Avenue, and that’s pretty close. The Saks team sent out a creative little email this week showing celebrity style; a “wear it like they wear it” list of suggestions for dresses, jackets, pants, skirts and accessories inspired by the style of some of our favorite clothes horses: SJP (of course), Rihanna, Brooke Shields (a bit of a stretch if you ask me), supermodel Agyness Deyn… the list goes on. I took a closer look at the Angelina Jolie section and found all sorts of suggestions that …

“JUMP” for the Jumpsuit!

I thought I would never say this, but the Jumpsuit is back. Yes ladies, you heard right, the Jumpsuit is back! But now they are calling it the jumper (has a cooler, more stylish ring to it). I wanted to get a jump(no pun intended) on the Hot Trends for Spring/ Summer ’09 and originally I wasn’t going to report on it for a month or so, but this HOT trend took me by surprise and couldn’t wait to let you know.

Based on this philosophy, even if I could afford to buy every piece I own from Prada (and Vera Wang, and John Galliano and Viktor and …
