Josie Natori - Lingerie and Lounge Wear
Staring Price: $40.00
Save up to: 72% Off

Josie Natori’s self-titled collection has a reputation for sexy yet sophisticated pieces. Rich laces, exotic influences and bold appliques reflect the designer's native Philippines, while a unique attention to fit puts the woman, not the lingerie, front and center. Over the last thirty years, Josie Natori has become synonymous with dreamy luxury and sensory indulgence. Details are refined. Boundaries are pushed. Clear design is the rule. Josie Natori makes women both look and feel like the muses they are, proving that everyday dressing can be a form of performance art.


Kelsi Dagger Shoes
Staring Price: $49.00
Save up to: : 50%
The masterminds behind the stunning French-inspired footwear line Pour La Victoire have done it again, this time with an eye on price, in keeping with the economic climate. More shoes for everyone!
David Giordano and Jay Adoni introduced Kelsi Dagger (doesn’t that name just sound fierce?) in May 2009, with a focus on “sexy, aggressive styles that are feminine and beautiful.” Much like the celebrated PLV, Kelsi Dagger’s kicks have a fashion-forward, avant-garde appeal with intricately designed straps, in-your-face hardware and cutouts galore. Finding inspiration in everything from the women these shoes are named after to fanciful fowls (the jewel-toned fall collection was modeled after a peacock in Adoni’s backyard), the two men capture beauty and bring it to the masses. These flats, pumps, sandals, platforms and booties are so edgy, you might say they are sharp as, well, a dagger.


Tuesday 7/7

BCBG RTW & Swim
Starting Price: $66.00
Save up to: 55%

Known for gracious use of color and patterns, flattering fits and a-ha design elements like ruching, ruffles and bows, the extensive women’s ready-to-wear line is beloved by aspiring fashionistas and celebrity supporters alike. BCBGMAXAZRIA’s dresses are go-to staples from office attire to eveningwear, and simple blouses, blazers and knits possess new, uniquely chic dimension. In 1997, Azria introduced the Swim collection, containing the same delicious details as his RTW: saucy stripes, eye-popping patterns and simply stated hardware. Borrowing from his range of muses, BCBG is simultaneously put-together and relaxed, from the ballroom to the beach. Because BCBG women should feel stylish in everything from a gown to a bikini.


Antik Denim
Starting Price:: $49.00
Save up to: 71%

Girl of the moment: Isabel Lucas

Candy Washington2 Comments













Isabel Lucas (born 29 January 1985) is an Australian actress perhaps best known for her role as Tasha Andrews on the Australian television soap opera Home and Away (2003–2006) and for her active role in various environmental awareness organisations including Greenpeace International. Lucas moved to Los Angeles in early 2008 and has since been featured in film and television projects including Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Rights Revoked, a documentary shot with friend and actress Elissa Sursara for Animal Planet.

Television

Lucas enrolled in the Victorian College of Arts but had never pursued commercial roles until she was spotted at the Port Douglas market by Sharron Meissner, a Sydney theatrical agent. She auditioned for the role of Kit Hunter in Home and Away (now played by Amy Mizzi); although the producer of the show, Julie McGauran, felt that role was not right for Isabel, she was sufficiently impressed to have a new character, Tasha Andrews, created for her. Lucas won a Logie Award (for new popular talent) for her performance on the program. Playing Tasha Andrews on Home and Away was Lucas' first television role. She also appeared in an American television commercial for Crest toothpaste.

Film

Lucas is currently working on her film debut, the upcoming vampire thriller Daybreakers, set for release in January 2010 and starring Ethan Hawke.

Lucas has been cast as Gwen in the Steven Spielberg World War II miniseries, The Pacific. She also appeared in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen as a Decepticon Pretender, Alice. In a recent article, Lucas refused to speculate on her latest casting. Reports have suggested that although assigned to the William Morris Talent Agency in Los Angeles through the auspices of Meissner Management, Lucas obtained the role of Alice in her native Australia before moving permanently to America. It has been claimed that Lucas was handpicked by Steven Spielberg. However, Michael Bay, director and producer of Transformers, has denied that Spielberg influenced the decision to cast her.

Personal life

Lucas was born in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. As a child, Lucas lived in Cairns, in Far North Queensland. She also had stints in Switzerland, Kakadu, and Australia's Northern Territory. She has a Swiss mother and an Australian father and speaks German and French in addition to her native English. Lucas went to a high school named St. Monicas in Cairns, Australia.

Lucas dated her former Home & Away co-star Chris Hemsworth until June 2006. She dated American actor Adrian Grenier during 2008, but they split up in August. She suffered a minor head injury in July 2008 in a car accident while she was a passenger in Transformers co-star Shia LaBeouf's car. She was not seriously injured, but he was cited with a misdemeanour DUI.

Activism

In October 2007, Lucas was part of a group of 30 people from Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (including American actress Hayden Panettiere) who took part in a protest against whaling in Taiji, Wakayama, Japan. The group paddled out on surfboards to the whales to attempt to stop the hunt, but they were forced to turn around after being intercepted by one of the fishing boats. They drove straight to Osaka airport and left the country to avoid being arrested for trespassing by the Japanese police. There is still an outstanding arrest warrant for Lucas in Japan. Many Japanese consider this kind of act as an attack on their culture. Taiji's fishery cooperative union argues that these protesters "continue wilfully to distort the facts about this fishery" and that the protesters' agendas are "based neither on international law nor on science but rather on emotion for economic self-interest."

I really dig her style and she is nice break from the usual "It" girl crowd... What do you all think?

A dressed-down Ashley Olsen spent some quality time with boyfriend Justin Bartha of “The Hangover” over the weekend, trading her edgy designer gear for quirky shade, a peekaboo bra, and a polka-dot skirt. But the star of the show was her purple suede drawstring purse - je t’aime! I love the rich hue and the simple but chic design. But who’s the designer?

Is it just me or does Ash and her beau look a lot like MK and Nate? I'm just saying...

Either way, love it.

Ohh... retail therapy anyone?
