Toilet Paper Fashion

     This super stunning dress was created by Hanah Kim.  Hanah Kim is not a fashion designer and her dress is not made of the usual trimmings of taffeta and lace.  Kim is just a regular — way talented — woman who created a dress out of toilet paper!  Kim won first place in a contest hosted by CheapChicWeddings.com.  Contestants were asked to design wedding gowns entirely out of toilet paper.  Kim won $500.00 and  her design will be made into a real gown — hopefully in a more luxurious material than TP.

Adrianna Papell Floral Silk Halter Dress

This gorgeous silk charmeuse halter dress by Adrianna Papell is the perfect blend of sophistication and fun.  When I spotted the vibrant floral pattern, I simply couldn’t look away.  The shirred waist and full pleated skirt hide a multitude of sins on any body type while the V-neck halter shows off a lengthened neckline.  Tiny yet tasteful beads and sequins add a touch of sparkle to this dress.  Wear it to your next cocktail or holiday party and you’ll be sure to stand out from the crowd.

Sarah Jessica Parker’s BITTEN Collection

When Sarah Jessica Parker launched her BITTEN fashion line this summer, I thought I was losing my hearing when she announced that everything in the collection is under $20.  Available exclusively at Steve and Barry’s stores, the BITTEN collection largely reflects Sarah Jessica Parker’s personal style and offers everything from jeans to suit separates.  Sweaters, tops, jackets, dresses, bags, jewelry, and shoes are also part of the collection and range in size from XS-XXL in tops, 0-22 in bottoms, and 5-11 in shoes.  Why did Parker name the collection BITTEN?  Apparently, Parker was "bitten by the Steve and Barry’s bug" the first time she walked into a Steve and Barry’s store and her reaction subsequently became the name of the collection.  I, for one, am grateful to Sarah Jessica Parker for designing a fashionable, wearable, yet affordable collection accessible to all women.  Who doesn’t love a bargain? Get ‘bitten’ by Sarah Jessica Parker’s new BITTEN fall collection at a Steve and Barry’s near you.   

Macee Boot by Bakers Shoes

Gear up for fall in this ultra sylish Macee Boot by Bakers.  Though available in black and dark brown, my favorite color in this style is the winter white pictured above (oh alright…it’s just bone-colored, but I like saying ‘winter white’).   I love the idea of a lighter color admist all the slate gray and black we’re sure to see this fall and winter.  Lighten (or darken if you wish) your boot collection with this mid calf stretch boot with 4" stiletto heel.  The button detail sets this boot apart from all of the other look-a-likes I’ve seen in stores lately and the $69.95 price tag is another fabulous detail sure to please.  

Chanel Brilliant Lumiere Fluorescent Lip Gloss

Thanks to the ladies at The Purse Forum, it’s been revealed that the Chanel Brilliant Lumiere Fluorescent Lip Gloss does in fact glow under black light! I so, so want this. It’s still available in “Mango Fluo” at Nordstrom online($25), but I believe it is limited edition for summer 2007, so order soon if you’ve got a rave (Paul Oakenfold at the Warfield tonight, anyone?) to attend.
