Camilla Skovgaard knows shoes.  She was born in Denmark and now resides in London and New York primarily. Her global background in shoes is very impressive and apparent in her designs.  She brings such a modern and fresh perspective to designer shoes: just enough edge, sexiness, and of course comfort that keeps her clientele and growing fan base coming back season after season for more and each season she delivers with another AMAZING collection it is no wonder her shoes have tremendous momentum in the press.

I am obsessed with Camilla’s shoes for so many of the above reasons and also very importantly because after meeting her personally, learned that she is an AMAZING person.  I was so blown away by how honest, down-to-earth, friendly, and real she is that I walked away from our meeting with the conclusion that she is the nicest designer I have ever met. She is not willing to sacrifice her design beliefs, her vision, or who she is for anyone.  When I first spoke with her we were talking over our Blackberry’s to each other at about 11 at night while she was at a Fashion Week event in order ot set up our meeting that week: she is completely in charge of who she is and her brand: this is why we love her.

Fall ‘09 Colorwatch: caramel honey.

Fall '09 Colorwatch: Caramel Honey

Fall '09 Colorwatch: Caramel Honey

New arrivals today suggest a warming trend for early Fall ‘09: honey and caramel hues.  We love these colors because they are so perfect for this time of year moving forward into fall!  When the summer skin begins to fade caramel and honey tones act as warming hues that compliment any skin tone.  Today, we saw the above look styled with white pants – it was beautiful and a perfect way of styling these pieces for right now.  In the fall, these colors work great with other earth tones, denim, as well as black.  The cashmere cardigan and matching shell are designed by Ports 1961, whose knits are always amazing – they consistently use just the right fabric and details that give each piece its Ports uniqueness while maintaining their classic appeal.  We love their knits together as well as separate – this cardigan would be the perfect finish to a white tank and jeans and the shell would fabulous under a suit.  Our new Belle by Sigerson Morrison boots are the quintessential option for anything. This boot will take you anywhere in almost any outfit.  It is super-soft smooth suede – lined in tonal leather with undertones of grey and taupe.  The lines of this boot are one of the reasons we choose to wear Sigerson boots year after year – they peak higher up by the knee in the front and of course low in the back which elongates any leg!  Another reason we love this boot: it can also be a bootie and a scrunch boot. Scrunch boot: the top of the boot folds over and can be scrunched a bit down the leg. Bootie (see picture below) scrunched all the way down and fold over the leather detail at the ankle.  Essentially this is 3 boots in one and that makes the times we are going to wear them exponentially higher and happier – this is one of those boots that are absolutley a must-have for anyone’s wardrobe!

Blue Crush: New 3.1 Phillip Lim Pagoda Shoulder Coat

3.1 Phillip Lim Pagoda Shoulder Coat

3.1 Phillip Lim Pagoda Shoulder Coat

Phillip Lim has done it again.  Last year it was the peacock blue ruffle coat. This year, his blue coat is this beautiful peacock blue pagoda shoulder coat.  It has the most amazing lines and shape with of course defined shoulders, which are very prevalent for Fall ‘09 (reinforces the Alpha Woman we keep blogging about).  The shoulders are just the right definition – they tip up slightly at the edge with a higher slimmer armhole, which gives this jacket such a clean and sophisticated look. Lim has designed this look impeccably: as always.  We all know about the Dynasty-era shoulder pads that have for the past two decades kept us from wanting any sort of shoulder definition, but this year the shoulder is not padded straight across as if we were ready to join the linebackers on the field. Instead, Lim perfects what this fall’s shoulder is all about: architectural lines over padding: the angling, the streamlined definition, and the balance of the sleeve.   WE ARE IN LOVE (is it okay to want it to be 40 outside  or plan a cold weather trip because we don’t know if we can wait to wear it?) – oh and did we mention we also got in the matching blue mini skirt that would be so perfect underneath!
