Tie Me Up...Chain me Down

Chains Reign. From Dutch Blonde's signature back chain detailing to vests by Sass & Bide this trend is set in style. "Fringe out" with ACB chain necklace available at www.net-a-porter.com.

The Shoulder Bag to Cry On!

Have you ever been stripped of your shoulder bag and had it weighed? This experience recently had mine tipping the scales at over 10 pounds. If losing 10 is as easy as dropping my handbag why am I so reluctant to part. This season, you can't choose who you fall in love with but you can choose the perfect bag(or two) from See by Chloe...Love at Last!

un, deux, trois.. HUIT!

If you haven't experienced the joy of luxurious lingerie...SPLURGE! Often "tiny" these little bits of fabric are made from French lace and Italian imports with a "Large" price tag. Worth every penny treat yourself to labels like Huit, Agent Provocateur and Elle Macpherson intimates. The best revenge after a break up is to treat yourself... Try wearing it during the day it will give you that extra bounce in your step!

Texture and Lace!

Fall 2009 boasts textured dresses layered with lacey legs. Please your palette by mixing up and playing out sequin dresses like See by Chloe or One Vintage with Fawke Lace Hosiery. Sugar and Spice is usually nice but sequin and lace is this seasons taste! Available at www.net-a-porter.com.

Made you Look...The Vintage look!

When Jasmine Baker of the Drake Hotel let me dig into her tickle trunk of vintage jewelry I hyperventilated like Carrie Bradshaw watching a pair of Jimmy Choo's being run over by a GT snow racer. Once regaining consciousness and realizing this was indeed reality, I created one of a kind vintage headbands for the Dutch Blonde Fall/Winter campaign shoot. They say wear your heart on your sleeve...I say wear your jewels on your forehead (Tomato, Tomata!)

Hey Leather Face!

Not really leather face but it is all about leather legs. This season designers from Helmut Lang to Dutch Blonde are showcasing sexy tights featuring leather inserts and straps. This season keep leather pant detailing simple. Don't leave room for mishaps, in with the straps out with the chaps!

If the shoe fits...strut it!

What are you strutting in this season? Lengthen those legs in Plum Shoes must have luxury footwear including Georgina Goodman black and gold perfection, Proenza Schouler zipper front boot and Nicholas Kirkwood crystal heels (Cinderella thought SHE had it good!).

Dutch Blonde Fall/Winter 2009

Finally...silk chiffon meets burnout velour splashed with patent leather and sprinkled with buttons. Dutch Blondes F/W 2009 collection is like jumping into bed with Brigitte Bardot...a 60's bond girl...and the latest London runway muse!
