Baby Bump: Morning Chicness Bags

LilSugar — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 10:00:34 PST

From smelling salts to ginger ale, every mama-to-be has her own way of fending off morning sickness, but when you simply can't beat the nausea - grab a bag! And, there is one company that is trying to make even an expectant mama tossing her cookies chic. The compact, disposable and stylishly designed Morning Chicness Bags (pack of 10 for $7.50) are made of a thick paper with a leak-proof polyethylene lining and an attached closure. Pregnant women can keep them in their purse or glove compartment in the event they get woozy and these sacks also come in handy for postpartum mommies dealing with hangovers.

See by Chloé Fall 2012

Noria Morales — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 12:00:23 PST

For its Fall 2012 collection, See by Chloé presented its first runway show in Paris today, and being the modern line that it is, it did the presentation digitally, showing on the Chloé website this morning. It was a collection meant to be seen in movement, as the opening looks were all about flow - diaphanous fabrics cut into draped tops, silky pants, and soft dresses that fluttered on the models. Ideal Spring dresses now, they make for a soft contrast later with Winter knits and coats. It was all about effortless chic - a pert peacoat was done in rusty wide wale cord and worn over a bodysuit; a black asymmetric skirt was paired with a superbly cut black blazer. Blouson sleeves returned, a romantic touch on casually draped tops and dresses. It's a collection you can build a wardrobe on, and that's exactly the point of Chloé's little sister line, no?

Trends: Draped silks, slouchy pants, blouson sleeves, wide wale corduroy
Colors: Lime green, olive green, red, black, white, taupe.
Key Piece: Any of the draped dresses, tops, and silky pants; the rust peacoat.
Accessories: Pointy-toe booties; small bowling bags.
Who Would Wear It: The cool downtown girl - you know this fills the closets of women like Rachel Bilson, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Alexa Chung.

Lacoste Fall 2012

If the snow outside wasn't enough for NYFW attendees, Felipe Oliveira Baptista provided a few snowflakes of his own for Lacoste's Fall runway show this morning at Lincoln Center. As fake snow blew into the audience, Oliveira Baptista set the tone for his sporty chic ski-inspired line. Mixing in the old - Oliveira Baptista referenced uniforms the brand designed for France's 1966 national ski team - with the new, the designer conceived a smart mix of body-conscious pieces fitting for any après-ski occasion. One can easily head to the slopes, or to the cabin, in one of Oliveira Baptista's rugby-meets-ski minidresses and jumpsuits or sport-striped leggings paired with chic oversized parkas and coats. Leather quilted vests and jackets injected a luxurious touch to the overt sportif theme. With a play on fashionable function, Oliveira Baptista experimented with zippers, some of which opened up all the way up to the shoulders to replicate the look of a cardigan tossed over your shoulder, while others served as pockets for hoods disguised as a stylish oversized collar. More details from the collection below.

Trends: Oversized parkas, colorblock, sporty zipper accents.
Colors: Blue, red, off-white, gray, navy blue, black.
Key Piece: We loved the oversized parka jackets and luxurious quilted leather jackets and vests.
Accessories: Leather platform boots, wool and leather bucket bags, snow goggles/sunglasses, leather gloves.
Who Would Wear It: Anyone looking for a sporty play on Winterwear or otherwise, heading to a ski retreat or chic après-ski event.

Celeb Style: Miranda Kerr's Classic Fall Combo

Miranda Kerr expertly paired together crisp, Fall pieces with her gray menswear coat, dark denim, and rich brown leather boots while walking in NYC with hubby Orlando Bloom. The outfit is exactly what you'd reach for on a cool Autumn morning, albeit more styled than most renditions, thanks to sophisticated cuts and the mix of warm and cool tones via her knee-high boots and covetable Miu Miu bag. We love that each piece is a worthy, classic investment - there's nothing here that you couldn't wear endless seasons ahead. Speaking of versatility, we think Miranda's coat would look just as chic thrown over a little printed dress with tights and her boots just as cool with a pleated skirt and blazer - these are outfit staples with good reason. To get Miranda's look, and all the key pieces, just shop our picks below.

Pippa Starts Her Morning With Starbucks and Books Before Meeting Up With Her Mom

Pippa Middleton was on the go again in London this morning, picking up a coffee from Starbucks before moving on to shop for books at a Waterstone's branch. She was in her latest chic Summer outfit, including a purse from one of her favorite brands, Modalu. The company was so happy to have her support that it actually named the model of the bag she carries The Pippa. Her association with Modalu has helped increase its sales, and it's thought that Pippa will become a huge fashion force. A recent piece on Pippa in New York magazine suggests that royal-watchers love both her and her sister Kate's simple, High Street style because it's easy to replicate at a not-exorbitant price. Later in the evening, Pippa met up with her mom, Carole, to do a bit more browsing before retiring for the night.

This morning, Madewell showed off its '70s-inspired Fall 2011 collection. While we're used to seeing more casual looks from J.Crew's little sister, the new collection took a turn toward chic street. See, the Madewell girl has grown up and is heading off to her first fashion job, PR internship, or museum apprenticeship in the brand's eclectic mix of soft pleated skirts, sweater dresses, moody print floral maxis, and blanket ponchos. Accessories like chunky fringed loafers, small leather messenger bags, toffee-hued boots, leather driving gloves, and wool hats completed the effortlessly pulled-together looks. Peep the slideshow for a sneak peek at the Fall presentation!
