Blackburn + Sweetzer Has Moved

The photo says it: Zara Kids is coming to the Farmers Market location, which now offers women’s and men’s, and will be open during construction. I meant to go in and hopefully find out more, and then I got completely distracted by the current 50% off sale. I did ask about the sale, which will [...]

You can count the ways in which I love designer Clare Vivier’s handbags—literally, starting back last March at a trunk show at Taylor de Cordoba gallery, and then onward, I fell in love with La Trop, obsessed over the navy messenger bag, dreamed of outfitting my MacBook with a suede Vivier sleeve, and then, boom!, [...]

Then, late last night Fashionista posts the Zac Posen for Target lookbook (hitting store April 25), and this AM, Refinery 29 posts the Jean Paul Gautier for Target lookbook (coming [...]

Looks from Tucker by Gaby Basora Resort 2009 collection

First of all, given the lack of fanfare about a half-hour after opening on Saturday at the Beverly Center H&M, my guess is there’s still a fair amount of stock around town. I happened to be out and about early and [...]

First off, can I mention how utterly crazy it is that Carlos Falchi does not have a proper website? Seriously, CF, get with the program and the necessity of an online presence! But, I digress… The Carlos Falchi brand will certainly up its online presence November 1 when the designer’s textural, faux-python collection for the [...]

Nitrolicious got tipped by a reader that this lace Rodarte for Target top was up for auction on eBay—apparently, it was gifted to an editor who attended the NYC preview. The final bid was $10.49. Pretty. The collection hits Target December 20. This comes on the heels of leaked photos via Twitter, which Target PR [...]

Who knew? Not I. Knew about Opening Ceremony carrying selections from the British fast fashion mega retailer. Knew about Kate Moss Topshop at Barneys. Had totally missed the newsflash that Ron Herman at Fred Segal Melrose carried Topshop. But there it is, on the second floor, a section currently filled with pretty floral dresses. Along [...]
