Brit's comeback a hit or miss? Judging by her performance last night I think she should've stayed away a little longer. She's clearly not ready to be performing, she just started growing her hair back for pete's sake.

dVb has arrived!

dVb denim by Victoria Beckham

dvb denim by Victoria Beckham, has finally arrived and it doesn't disappoint. Even if you're not a fan of Vic you can't deny she makes a fantastic jean. Honing her skills designing for Rock & Republic her signature line delivers. It features a star pocket and subtle dVb logo instead of the crown used on the R&R jeans. These jeans have a fantastic fit and you don't have to be Victoria's size to wear them. They will make you butt look lifted and legs longer regardless of size. I know it seems like every celebrity is trying to put their name on a clothing line. But, judging by her wild success at Rock & Republic Victoria knows her fashion, plus she always looks stunning watching hotty hubby Beck's.

We think she nailed the fit and style on the head with dVb, much to Rock & Republic's disappointment, I'm sure. Let's see how long it takes before some chain store tries to knock-off her signature star pocket. Oh, and the inside of pockets are purple, one of the must have colors for fall.

we are going nuts over the tone-on-tone star pocket.

'Birds of a Feather'

Fall Preview

I know...It just started heating up and we're gettin' into the groove of summer. But birds of a feather flock together. Translation, girls who love fashion always fly ahead of the curve. So eventhough we've just begun to dare bare our legs we must contemplate what's to come for fall 07/08.

Here's a few trends we picked up on.

Shake Your Tail Feathers: When it comes to colors for fall think of a Peacock and strut your stuff in grays, plums, cranberries and rich blues. Jewel tones are shown in rich satin fabrics some lustrous and shiny, some matte. Cobalt blue from S/S makes a repeat appearance joined by teal, and not an ugly 80's teal.

Knit-Pick: Knits are huge, taking on an 80's edge with batwing sleeves, far isle prints and bright shades of blue, purple and neutral gray. Last fall knits were widely popular as layering pieces and it'll be the same for this coming season. With mild falls we love chunky knits worn as an outer layer instead of a coat.

Touch of Gray: Shades of gray from pale smoke to deep charcoal are the newest neutral. Yes, gray is an easy color to wear and a great base for showing of fall's bright colors and prints.

Mod-velous: For those who couldn't dare re-live the 80's have no fear the 60's are here. Waistlines are rising and so are hemlines. Think mod baby.

Lady and the....: No tramp here. Fall's runway looks embodied ladylike chic. A women that oozes confidence and is provocative with a subverted sexuality.

More to come...

Faves from '06 and must have looks for '07

2007-01-26T17:45:00.000-05:00

Nobody likes an overnight trend! We want you to pick clothes that will become your favorites, for more than a week. So we went through our faves from '06 and listed what's still going strong in '07 and sorted through the new spring trends for styles that are destined to become keepers.

Key looks to hang on to!

Technicolor Challenged: Black and white are always staples in our eyes and the duo has dominated the runways in Europe and Stateside. Don't expect this trend to be going anywhere. Keep your eyes peeled for menswear stripes, mod graphic prints, and girlie florals in shades of white, black and grey. On our list is Rachel Pally's floral skirt and Margarita Saplala's Sahara striped dress.

Layer-Me-Softly: Fall was all about the layers and springs turning out to be no different. Make sure each item is lightweight and the end result will be heavenly. Some of our favorite layering pieces are Generra's belted dresses , T's and the chiffon blouse from Madison Marcus.

One Shift. Two Shift: This laid-back silhouette was a hit in '06 and it's still a crowd pleaser in '07. Freshen it up for spring with a high waisted belt and tons of charm jewelry. Look for shift styles from Development as well as the triple bow dress from Madison Marcus.

Let us know what your favorites are from '06 or what you would rather ditch.

'07 is a year of plenty overflowing with looks to satisfy every spring palette. I think one would be hard pressed not to find something they love. Here's a short look at some of '07's most dominant trends we saw at market...

Color Me Happy: Front and center is sun-kissed yellow. Add a dose of sun-shine to your winter-weary soul with a shot of color to dresses, belts, pants and blouses. If yellow makes you a little shy pick your own hue. Vivid color is enjoying a renaissance and is the perfect complement to springs neutrals. Look for saturated shades of crimson, cobalt, emerald and fuchsia. Dresses from T-Bags and the Kalahan dress in fuchsia from Margartia Saplala are among our finalists for displaying colors not for the faint of heart.

Pocket This: Who said fashion is all form and no function? Handy-dandy hidden pockets are popping up in unexpected places from LBD's to tunic tops. This functional trend lends a hand towards the sporty chic look that wouldn't be complete without nautical stripes and figure hugging fabrics in paired down shapes. Look for Mason by Michelle Mason's racerback mini-dress in navy.

Trapeze Me: A swingy trapeze dress or cami makes a great base for an enchanting ensemble and spring layering a 'Do'. The airy, graceful and endlessly easy to wear silhouette make accessorizing with wide belts, sashes, and layers of chains a cinch. You'll be looking like a Vogue fashion editor in no time.

Boy Oh' Boy: More refined than borrowing your boyfriends shirt. Channel Hepburn and Bacall in menswear crossovers. To make this dapper trend your own try a nipped-in vest from Madison Marcus, trouser shorts from Earnest Sewn and barely-there blouses from Jenny Jen.

Gold Digger: Precious metals long reserved as evening staples are now seen around the clock morning, noon, and night. Muted metallics are adding a subtle rocker-glam to dresses, tops and accessories. Not a fan of an all over glam try a subtle metallic glow from a bag, stacked bangles or T-bags chain belted dress.

Sugar Magnolia: Everything is a bloom with sweet botanic prints. If top-to-toe magnolias aren't your thing, set your sights on Asian and tribal inspired prints also on the radar for spring. Prints are personal so whether you're a subtly psychedelic girl or favor blooming gardens, which ever look you choose to get personal with don't be shy just get thee a print for spring.

Ample-Straights: For the ladies that have been holding their breath waiting for the skinny jean phenomenon to pass; you can breath a partial sigh of relief. The updated wide-legged jean offers a nice counter point to the skinny silhouettes. Think 70's - fitted through the rear, but not too tight, and gives you enough room to move - brilliant. For the ladies who love the skinny jeans have no fear they're still here, try them in a lighter wash or primary color like red for spring. Our contenders are the Chloe trouser from Jenny Jen and Habitual Virtuoso trouser for the wide-legs and Habitual skinny leg in claret or down home for the skinny-legs.
