Life With The Coveteur (and Into the Closets of J.W. Anderson, Erdem, and Susie Bubble)
LONDON–We’ve all come to know and love The Coveteur‘s intimate portraits of the fashion elite’s covetable wardrobes ever since the site opened its proverbial doors over a year ago. Despite being relatively new, the site’s dynamic founding duo Stephanie Mark and Erin Kleinberg have already curated online editorials from over 100 closets including style pioneers like Simon Doonan and Patricia Field, and have done a number of big-name collabs (with Elle, W and Who What Wear to name a few).
I was lucky enough to snag an invitation to tag along with Stephanie and Erin and their photographer Jake Rosenberg when The Coveteur took London by storm. I was dying to find out just how they create their impeccably styled stories and what it’s like to step into the personal closets of fashion heavyweights. As a fellow Canadian, I was delighted to discover that these super-stylish girls are the definition of a Canadian best friend (in fact they met when they were besties at summer camp): friendly, warm and approachable. I could immediately see why they’ve been granted access into these trendsetters’ most intimate spaces.

Michelle Obama Color Blocks Like a Pro (In Preen!) on The Late Show With David Letterman
After hosting a star-studded fundraising dinner attended by the likes of Beyoncé, Solange Knowles, Robert DeNiro, and other notables, First Lady Michelle Obama headed over to The Late Show With David Letterman to chat about her “Let’s Move!” campaign. We always enjoy hearing from Mrs. O, but naturally, we were wondering: where in tarnation did Read more →

What We Saw at New York Fashion Week, Day 5
Day five of New York Fashion Week was a real dream. We took in shows from Marc Jacobs, Chris Benz, Preen, Karen Walker, and Donna Karan – meaning we saw all our friends and our favorite NYFW celebrities.
We snapped Dakota Fanning meeting Jared Leto at Marc Jacobs, the fabulous Michelle Harper at Preen, and Coco Rocha at Betsey Johnson. We also received a cute (and cat themed!) Valentine’s Day gift from our PS I Made This and caught up with the Man Repeller, Leandra Medine, twice!
Check out all our photos in today’s gallery.
Preen Fall 2012: Springing into Fall in Style
Last season, Preen‘s Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi wowed us with their colorful, digitized prints and apparently the designers were content to carry on that theme, because the same sort of abstract, nature-inspired prints were alive and well this season.
The first look came out–a white blouse with an orange stripe, and a vibrant floral skirt–and we had to double check the line sheet to make sure we were indeed seeing a fall collection, and not a spring one. The runway gave way to more digitized florals, and swaths of orange, light green, and cobalt blue. Eventually more winter-appropriate hues made their way onto the runway in the form of graphic, black and white prints, and sweaters with an abstracted leaf print.

That’s The Ticket: A Look at the Coolest New York Fashion Week Invites
If you’ve watched Bridezillas, you know it’s difficult to plan a wedding. Every detail is mulled over ad nauseam: the music, decor, seating arrangements, the dress, and, of course, the invitations.
Fashion Week is kind of the same way. Design houses are in a frenzy, burning Lana Del Rey MP3s, obsessing over the set design, sitting in on model castings, making sure the most prominent editors get choice seating, and sending out creative invites to garner excitement (rather than panic attacks) over the several shows they will have to sit through and ultimately, report on.
Just as every bride wants her invitations to capture the essence of her wedding, designers are behooved to get a little creative with their invites. To show you how funky some brands get, we’ve compiled the most interesting invites we’ve received. From embossed flasks to digital picture frames, click through for the fashion show invitations that got us most excited.

14 Designer Versions of the ‘Ugly’ Christmas Sweater
Taking fuddy duddy, traditionally American things and turning them into high fashion seems to be a budding trend. (See: Glamping.) The latest target of the luxury fashion world’s makeover is everyone’s favorite holiday tradition: The Christmas Sweater.
Somewhere between classy (as defined by Derek Blasberg) and campy (as defined by Corky St. Clair) is this list of Christmas sweaters from big name designers like Stella McCartney and Marc Jacobs. It’s the best new mix of high and low, plus you’ll probably wear these Christmas sweaters again, as opposed to the one your mom made you with yarn and a hot glue gun. (Sorry, Mom!)
Check out the festive options available for Christmas and get in the holiday spirit!

Street Style Fodder from the Spring 2012 Collections
Every season, we notice a few key designer items that populate street style blogs more consistently than others. They’re those must-have, eye-catching pieces that end up on waiting lists because editors and other girls about town snatch them up first (probably on Moda Operandi, long before they hit stores). And then we see them on street style sites on the backs of people like Anna Dello Russo and Carine Roitfeld and Emmanuelle Alt. Lately, it’s been Isabel Marant jeans, Celine everything, Miu Miu booties. But what will it be next spring?
We’ve taken another look at the spring 2012 collections to predict what we think will be catching the eyes of Scott, Tommy, Phil et al come February. Or, alternately, here is what we think those of you hoping to end up on a street style site, should wear.

Preen by Thornton Bregazzi Spring 2012: Pixelated Patchwork & Neon Peplums
Beautiful since its inception but lately overflowing with support from the editorial crowd, Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi’s Preen label attracted more fash-industry heavy hitters to its show yesterday morning than we’ve seen all week. Sitting front-row were Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Lauren Santo Domingo, Caroline Sieber, Kate Lanphear, and Taylor Tomasi Hill. And fittingly, considering how Read more →
