Trend Alert

Hey guys,
So this trend of high waisted jeans has been around for a minute now...and though it initially seemed atrocious beyond words, it doesn't seem to be going away. Perhaps I've been brainwashed, but a few celebs lately have been able to pull the look off...or do they? Let's take a look:

Beyonce is gorgeous, yes, but are her jeans? She rocks a high waist with what looks like a House of D t and suspenders...

Ciara also favors suspenders, and balances the high waist with a short shirt...

Ships ahoy! Genevieve Jones prefers the sailor look...

J. Lo keeps it sassy and sexy in sleek skinny high waisted jeans and stilettos...

And Nicole Richie takes a risk in Sass& Bide high waisted cut offs with a tank tucked in.
Interesting.
If you're brave enough, try these items:

Top Row: Lux High Waisted Skinny Jean, $68, www.urbn.com; Sass & Bide High Waist Short Shorts, $238, www.intermix.com.
Bottom Row: Theory Lacey B Short Skirt, $175, shopbop.com
High Waisted Denim Sailor Pant, $148, www.ardenb.com.
So what do you think? Will you make haste to buy high waist?
Smootches!

New Designer Alert!

Starting your own business is a gamble.

But when designer Janet Kim’s brother won $2.5 million in the World Series of Poker, the cards suddenly seemed stacked in her favor – Graey, her new line of tops, was bankrolled.

A former student at the Chambre Syndicale in Paris, Kim incorporates the haute couture techniques she learned in school and while working for Christian Dior and Proenza Schouler, so you can count on these deceptively simple tees being long on style.

The first women’s collection consists of just five pieces. All classic styles in black or white, they satisfy the need for cut-above-ordinary basics that you’re always looking for but can’t seem to find.

Each of her delicate tees and tanks is embroidered with cutwork lace or lace applique that’s snipped away to reveal just a tiny bit of flesh.

After all, you don’t want to show all of your cards.

Available online at graeyny.com.

Rafe: Chic on the Cheap

It’s one thing when you get a good deal on a great designer bag, but it’s a whole other story when you find out your favorite designers actually have their own less expensive handbag collections! Rafe New York is designing handbags for Target that are just as sweet as their high-end bags. Both of these Rafe styles are dainty and perfect for summer sundresses. Now, can you guess which clutch costs $29.99 and which clutch costs $363.95? Tough call, right?

ShopBop Sale!

Everyone loves sales, and I'm no different. There is nothing better than the Shop Bop sale - they always have great stuff marked way down. From little black eyelet dresses like this one to jewelry, bags, shoes and jeans - you can't get enough of it. It's never too early to start (yikes!) prepping for the fall either - so get it cheap while you can!

Celeb Trend: Yellow Purses

Rachel Bilson, Katie Holmes and Cameron Diaz know that a yellow handbag adds an instant dose of chic to an otherwise simple outfit. Whether you opt for a small clutch like Rachel or an oversized hobo like Cameron, this trend's a hot one and much more wearable than you'd think.
