Bali-wood Baby

Ok- pay attention! The buzz around the newly launched S. Sung collection is slowly starting to build, and we couldn't be happier! Designer Samantha Sung (pictured at left- how adorable is she?), who started her design career at Ralph Lauren and also dazzled at Cerutti, Piazza Sempione and Tocca, has finally branched out on her own. Her beautiful printed dresses and blouses are all hand-made in Bali, where she says the absolute best batiks and ikats are printed. Blake Lively, Mischa Barton and stunner Padma Lakshmi all have colorful frocks from the line, and you are sure to be seeing them everywhere shortly. Check them out here!

Long Live J Brand!

We've been supporters of J Brand since their first season in 2005- that skinny black jean that flattered EVERY size and shape has become a staple of all of our wardrobes, and we're always adding new styles to the site. The cult status has just officially become more than just a cult- Vogue recognizes the brand & their impeccably designed jeans this month as one of the '7 wardrobe staples' that every stylish woman should have in her closet. We couldn't agree more! Kate Moss is a longtime fan, as is Angelina, Katie, and countless other style mavens who know how to dress around their jeans.

It's Matinee Time

We just found this shot of Jessica Simpson (a known bag coveter) carrying Rebecca Minkoff's Matinee bag! Not a huge surprise- the golden-locked starlet seems to always have the 'it' bag on her shoulder, and the oversized, super-organized satchel is perfect for squirreling away all her impulse buys- she sure likes to shop!

Sweater Weather

The first chill of fall is finally in the air here in NYC. We're kind of excited, sad as we are to see summer dresses and sandals go, because we have such a wealth of luxe sweaters on hand here. From cashmere to colorblocking and lots of different knit shapes, there are tons of options for layering and keeping cozy.

Edgy Glamour

We're totally gaga over this shot of Scarlett Johansson from November's Elle. She's wearing brand-new Wendy Nichol gold cone stud earrings- did we mention they're the ONLY non-Chopard pieces in the entire spread? So exciting to see her take a chance on something edgy and new.
