Bear with me...

Not sure what's going on with Blogger, but the date of these posts is all wrong - I promise you I'm putting new stuff up, but it seems to be stuck in time. Ignore the Thursday, May 10, 2007 heading.

Go Clothing!

Look what's new at Go Clothing, one of the most fabulous shopping destinations on the web!

Dresses from Fluet! These dresses have such a sweet, vintage vibe to them and look just adorable with platform heels. I am loving the little red trapeze number - so Hepburn, no?

Milk Does a Body Good

I'm a sucker for anything that's imported from Italy - they've got great food, fabulous shoes, amazing handbags, etc - so when a friend introduced me to this luscious body milk I was instantly hooked. Not just because she informed me that the website is entirely in Italian (which it is) but because the fragrance was so subtly sweet and the creamy-but-not-greasy formula left my skin noticeably softer, even after I washed my hands! Also the packaging is insanely divine! And it's imported from Italy!

Latte Ricco di Mandorle, $17.50

Per Amore offers up Latte Ricco di Mandorle in six seriously scrumptious scents, including the Sweet Almond which I tried and adored. Oh, and the website is in English. ; )

Patrick Robinson for Tar-jay!

If you haven't already, you must, must, MUST get thyself to the nearest Target to check out the latest installment of the GO International campaign with featured designer Patrick Robinson.









Ethnic prints, Grecian influences, and sexy silhouettes make up the collection from Patrick Robinson, the 6th designer to work with Target. The prices are, of course, beyond reasonable and the styles are perfect for summer.




It's almost as if this brilliant man is somehow able to read the minds of fashionistas everywhere. He's created clothes that are amazingly flattering and effortlessly chic! I think this is quite possibly my favorite batch of designer fashions to come out of Tar-jay! What do you think?

The Socialite

No I'm not referring to the latest shenanigans of some overexposed celebutante (this is not that kind of website). It's the new Socialite Satchel from Elliott Lucca and it is tres adorable, no?

The sweet, ballet pink color and buttery leather goodness of this bag make me want to don a chic pair of sunglasses a la Jackie O. and head straight to Robertson Blvd. to be seen! If pink is not your thing, it also comes in black, white, or tan - all just as sweet! And all that prettiness comes at less than 300 bucks, so you don't have to spend a small fortune for a cute handbag.

I'm telling you, if you've never heard of Elliott Lucca, you will! I was first introduced to them at a sample sale and have been positively hooked ever since. These bags are hotter than hot and have been featured in everything from In Style to Shape to Marie Claire. Here are some favorites of mine but you have to check out ElliottLucca.com yourself to see all the gorgeous styles!

Milla and Mango

We saw it first with Target's Go International campaign, featuring looks from innovators like Behnaz Sarafpour, Proenza Schouler, and Libertine. More recently, Gap recruited CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winners Thakoon, Rodarte, and Doo.Ri to put their respective spins on the classic, white, collar shirt for the Gap Design Editions campaign. Now, Milla Jovavich, model-turned-actress-turned-fashion designer, is doing her stylish thing with Mango, just in time for summer!

Milla and MNG is the new summer collection for Spanish retailer Mango, and the latest installment of a series of high-end designers creating looks for mass market retailers. Milla, one half of the eponymous line Jovavich-Hawk, designed twelve dresses for the chain, including a sweet, silk nightie-inspired number, a slinky modal minidress, and the ubiquitious maxi-dress. The designer's creative influence is most evident in the Peaches dress, which looks a lot like a Jovavich-Hawk dress seen on the Spring 2007 runway at New York Fashion Week. You can see the entire Milla and MNG collection here.

With its pale floral print and soft tiers, the Milla and MNG Peaches dress (left) is a less expensive version of the boho-chic Jovavich-Hawk dress.
