Bobbi Brown Black Velvet LookHere’s a quick look I did using some of the new shades from Bobbi Brown’s Black Velvet Collection! 
I wish the photos turned out better, because I actually liked how this look worked out in the end!

fab fat sweaters
It’s about texture with this trend. You can go big, engulf yourself in knitting.
I love the look of a oversized cardigan on top of a slim cut dress, or over skinny jeans. It really depends on the feel of the sweater.
For the most part, just looking at a sweater makes me itch. If it’s soft .. I’m all over it. What do you think?

Brian Atwood to Launch B Brian Atwood Line
Brian Atwood and Jones Apparel Group announced today a new footwear and accessory line called B Brian Atwood. According to Atwood, the new accessories collection will be inspired by the “East Village girls who have great style”.
The collection will feature shoes priced between $200 and $500 with an initial launch planned to commence in fall 2011. While that’s less expensive than the main line, this isn’t exactly affordable to the masses as B Brian Atwood is not a diffusion line but a compliment to the main line.
Tell me, are you excited about B Brian Atwood? I’m going to reserve judgment until I see the styles and quality of the shoes.

Whos that girl with her ostrich Hermes Birkin?
Who’s that girl carrying an ostrich Hermes Birkin walking to the set of her hit TV drama in NYC?
If you guessed Kelly Rutherford, you are correct! This bag is a Lily Van Der Woodsen favorite, as Kelly has been seen carrying this bag before.
In fact, Kelly Rutherford is known to use her personal Hermes collection as part of her Gossip Girl wardrobe. We all know Kelly is a huge Hermes fan, in fact her first son is named Hermes (though she states her love of the brand is not directly correlated to his being name). The gold ostrich Hermes Birkin is and always will be a classic. With Gossip Girl filming in full force, my excitement for the return of the show is building.
Check out BagThatStyle for a peek at what your favorite Gossip Girl characters are wearing!
