Club Monaco

We bought a lot of stuff this year, you guys. Oops.

So flattering. Who knew?

I'm already in holiday mode, and this is at the top of my list.

I can't think of a situation in which this top wouldn't be appropriate.

Weddings are a good time to go a little girly.

Snag some chic, quality and professional looking pieces for the office at these retailers.

It's getting down to the wire, guys. And if you're one of those people who is both procrastination-prone and of humble means (It's not just me, right?), we have just the gift guide for you.

From a higher-end collection to an expansive new flagship, Club Monaco is undergoing a major revamp. We chat with the woman behind its new elevated aesthetic.

If you're into statement-making accessories -- or need to have something to cuddle throughout the day -- here are a bunch to choose from.

I love a good biker jacket. Except sometimes the stiff, classic, black kind makes me feel, well, a little too much like a biker. Enter this gorgeous suede number from Club Monaco, in a dull green/olive color

Club Monaco has become one of our go-tos for relatively affordable clothes that look like they're designer. Now, the retailer is stepping it up even more in the high fashion department, with their own higher-end label, Club Monaco Collection, which launched yesterday online.

When I walked into Club Monaco this weekend, I was instantly attracted to the bold print of this A-line skirt. But how would I feel about it once I put it on? I was happy to find that the super cute print was not the only thing this skirt had going for it: It's also crazy flattering, hitting just above the waist (making your legs look longer) and stopping at the perfect point on my thigh.

We're big Club Monaco fans here at Fashionista--from clothes to accessories, the brand has pretty much been killing it over the past few seasons. And I've honestly always thought it seemed like a brand that would do really good shoes (in fact, I may have gone in and asked if they sell shoes once or twice). And now it actually does.

Club Monaco has gone and made us fall in love with them all over again.

This week, Joe Fresh celebrates its one year anniversary doing business in America. In my homecountry of Canada, Joe Fresh, founded in 2006, is already a really big deal, with 300 stores nationwide and a dedicated following eager to snap up its fashion-forward, super affordable duds. While it's new to the States, it's wasted no time in following a similarly lightening fast expansion: In just 12 months, Joe Fresh has launched four standalone stores in New York and opened up 680 shop-within-shops at JC Penney. It's a dizzying pace, but as I learned on Wednesday, when I spent the morning hanging out with founder and creative director Joe Mimran at the company's New York headquarters, that's just kind of how he rolls.
