It was most certainly a star-studded affair, and we were so glad to be part of it! The Sonia Rykiel pour H&M launches the weekend after New York Fashion Week, February 20th, and you better believe we will be there! The clothes were absolutely stunning at the collection preview; completely in line with the Rykiel signature looks and the fabrication of the garments felt right. Fashion Pulse Daily is convinced these pieces could pass for the signature line, and naturally, that’s the was Madame Rykiel would only have it.

A Fashionista’s Valentine’s Day Wishlist (TheFind Guest Blog)
From our friends at thefind.com:
If you were to ask me what I want for Valentine’s Day. I would be able to give you a definitive wish list. My tastes are very simple and few. Chocolate, jewelry, and handbags. Not necessarily in that order, but there you have it.
Nothing makes me happier than a steaming sweet hot cup of cocoa, except maybe a new pair of Louboutins! A sip of decadent chocolate on a dreary winter’s day can work miracles. My favorites are Bianca and Parisienne, both from Vosges. Bianca is a white chocolate tinged with lavender and Parisienne is an essence of dark chocolate with a touch of vanilla. In the shoe department, I’ve got my eye on these Lanvin Pom-pom thong sandals ($585 at Net-a-Porter). A flat espadrille with Lanvin’s now signature pom-pom for the season. What fun these will be for spring with matching coral toe polish! Love love love. To collect coins for parking meters a Marc Jacobs python-effect leather wallet, ($375 at Net-a-Porter) is perfectly pretty in pink with this season’s requisite pyramid studs. The bright pink shade will make finding this wallet in the depths of my black handbag a snap! A favorite scent of mine is Lolita Lempicka $44 at Sephora, it is sweet with anise and vanilla while smoky with sandalwood at the same time. Pairs perfectly with the scent of the Vosges hot cocoa. Yum! An extra special Valentine’s treat would be an Hermès Extra wide enamel bracelet ($660.00 at Hermes.com). I’d layer this with assorted gold toned bangles. Perhaps someone will surprise me with this bracelet on February 14th? Fingers crossed!
Happy Valentine’s Day!

WISH: New Futuristic Looks from Down-Under
[Image via WishClothing.com]
Most of us associate Australia with its fatal vermin and madly confusing (inverse) seasons, but the land down-under is indelibly in-tune with fashion. The iconic Australian label, WISH, epitomizes the country’s avant-garde style with their new Midnight Garden collection, inspired by the age-old cliché opposites attract. Fusing futuristic looks, like statement shoulders a la Lady Gaga, with elegant drapery and feminine floral accents, WISH accommodates the 21st century woman who isn’t afraid to assert her authority. The collection is thick with a wide variety of texture, stained in warm jewels, dramatic black and soft grays that flatter the female form with confident angular shapes and flowing romantic tops. I’m sure we all envy the Australian tans and bikini-friendly weather as our frozen fingers struggle to BBM in the frigid New York air, but with WISH shipping items to the US, we too can have a premature summer fling. Shop online at alibi and/or browse more of their collection here.
