Save on Your Dry Cleaning Bill with 1-2 Armpads

by

Most of my clothes go to the dry cleaning for one main reason: they stink! I rarely ever get stains on my clothes, but after one to two wears, I can’t bare to wear my top, sweater, or dress again.

Malandrino & Catherine Malandrino Holiday/Resort 2011-2012 Collections

Taking in the upcoming Holiday/Resort collections from Malandrino and Catherine Malandrino made me want to simultaneously  head out of town for a tropical getaway and get all dolled up for a formal cocktail affair. Ripe with the designer’s signatures such as longer lengths, crotchet, jumpsuits, and impeccably tailored dresses,  it was certainly a treat to experience the clothes in all of their tangible perfection while the designer oversaw the  nearby photoshoot, of which the images are found here.

Both collection stories (“Baccarat” and “Mikado”) allude to travel, particularly in movement between Paris and New York, suggesting that both the Malandrino and Catherine Malandrino ladies do have some crossover – perhaps in their loves of travel, culture, and cuisine?

Shop the collections online including the new Lacoste + Malandrino special offerings, and enjoy my top picks from the collections below!

[FPD’s favorite selections for the upcoming spring 2012 season from from Born, Born Crown, Isola, and Walkover Shoes]

There’s nothing like building your desire for shoes almost a year before they hit stores! I went to the H.H. Brown Shoe Co. FFANY Festival (Fashion Footwear Association of New York, a trade shoe expo), which concluded with an awesome party, a serenade by the original cast of Jersey Boys, and of course, amazing shoes!  Stay tuned for super-fresh colorways, new interesting silhouettes, and of course, great fit and quality. Here’s a peek of some of my absolute favorites, and I’m super excited about the launch of the Walkover Shoes women’s collection.
