Our Latest Obsession: Ikat Print

Though the tribal print trend seems to be heading out the door, there is something so cute and chic about the ikat print specifically that makes us want to wear it in as many ways as possible. It’s been on a few runways recently, including as Dries Van Noten, Gucci, Marc and Balenciaga. Our love for ikat blossomed even more yesterday when we checked out Cynthia Vincent’s upcoming Resort 2011 accessories collection, which was full of the colorful print.

Label to Watch: Barlow

The inspiration for Barlow ranges from Marshmallow Peeps to Saved by the Bell to the movie Tron. Only a couple of seasons old, Barlow is designed by Molly Girard Coonan. The granddaughter of iconic textile designer Alexander Girard and a protege of Cynthia Vincent, Coonan possesses the bloodlines and the training to be a very talented designer. She also just seems really cool.

She does a great job of making clothes that are sexy yet tomboyish, girly but with an edge. For Fall ’10, we are loving a brown leather jacket and skirt, the oversized jackets, velvet pants and a menswear shirt with cut-outs. For Holiday ’10, we are really into an army green cargo vest, the not-too-frilly party dresses, and geometric paneling.

Boot and Rally

Seeing as September is just around the corner, I have now commenced my annual hunt for the perfect boot. Every year, it’s the same old story. There are a million pairs that I love…until I try them on. This cycle goes on and on until I realize I want a pair that’s no longer available Read more →
