What FPD Has Been Up To Lately
Frye Boot Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer Preview
There are some great new updates to classic styles coming your way this fall/winter, such as fleece lined boots (yay! so warm!). Stay tuned for spring 2011 from Frye which is equally as exciting with sandals, flats, boots, and handbags, featuring hand-sewn and whip-stitch detailing, all coming together to pay homage to the brand’s American heritage.
Charlotte Russe and Eric Daman Bubbles & Baubles Event
This event was an introduction to the Eric Daman (Gossip Girl stylist) for Charlotte Russe line of party dresses, all at $50 and under. There definitely were a few I wanted to grab off of the mannequin, but instead, went for accessories and shoes that were up for grabs! it’s all about studding, sparkle, and shine for holiday 2010!
Ann Taylor Spring 2011 Collection Preview
The brand has definitely approached a turning point in its design — fashion forward styles and silhouettes were the majority at the preview, combining military with feminine looks, alongside some must-have accessories and footwear. Also of note was the gorgeous, well-edited bridal gown offerings, and even some chic looks for bridesmaids as well – yes they do exist!
Molton Brown & Edwing D’Angelo’s Night
Hosted at the Molton Brown boutique in Midtown, Edwing D’Angelo displayed his statement making frocks on mannequins, live models, and the cast of the Broadway musical, Fela!

Fall into Spring 2011 Swim from Nautica
While the continued descent into winter has us scrambling for scarves and hats, we can still dream about putting on beach gear and getting sand between our toes. With a little help from our friends at Nautica, Spring 2011 will have great separates: woven jackets, ruffled tops, the crinkle-finish trench, embellished shorts, and the classic striped top, just this time with a chic sparkle. The Nautica swimsuits are also getting a fresh twist in the form of a rich, deep brown added to their usual red, blue, and white color palette. The relaxed looks will work great for casual days while the touch of shimmer and hardware can transition perfectly for the bonfire on the beach. So go ahead, walk into the party like you’re walking onto a yacht!
The collection will only be sold in the Nautica online store, and will be available from January through to early April.
