Lanvin Minaudiere Metal Oval Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Easter may be over for this year but this little golden egg is a seasonless one that you can carry all year long. What really makes this Minaudiere Metal Oval Clutch by Lanvin so special is its decorative (and detachable) multistranded golden chain shoulder strap -- when you wear the bag cross-body style it acts as an extra embellishment, almost like a large statement necklace of sorts. The bag itself is a gold metal covered oval miniaudiere with a push lock clasp closure and a fully lined black satin interior. $2,825

Lanvin Dear Danae Cabas Two-Tone Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Dear Danae Cabas Two-Tone Leather Shoulder Bag by Lanvin is deceptively simple in appearance -- what at first glance is a very basic, monochromatic style quickly becomes a versatile, transformative favorite. The darker taupe section on the front (under the foldover top) can be removed to create a slimmer, more lightweight look or to be carried as a separate clutch. The bag features short double top handles, a long shoulder strap, a slight all-over crinkle finish, gold hardware, and zip-top closures on both the main body and the detachable clutch compartment. Inside it's lined in black canvas with a designer plaque and one zip pocket. $1,790

This spring's hottest fashion trends is about showing off your most vibrant and colorful self. Electrifying neon accessories can be found everywhere. And as much as I love all the new trends and translating them into my personal sense of style, you just can't beat the impact of black.

Filed under: Handbags

Lanvin redoes their iconic Amalia bag this time as the Amalia Trousse Quilted Leather Clutch. I can't decide if it looks more like a makeup bag or a sexy boudoir-inspired an evening accessory but either way it features a large-pattern quilted raspberry leather body with pink satin trim and a combination of silver and gold hardware. It also has a designer-stamped hanging tag, pink grosgrain tassel, and zip-top closure. Inside it's lined in printed black twill and there are no pockets or handles whatsoever. $585

Gold: How to Shine in Style

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Apparel, Handbags, Jewelry, Shoes

Gold is a color that exudes opulence and contributes sophistication to an outfit. Whether its packaged through jewelry, a handbag or a piece of clothing, a touch of gold can instill elegance without being ostentatious.

As with any prominent color or print, to maximize its impact and make a fashionable yet classic statement, less is more. Otherwise, an abundance of gold can easily cross the line over to Vegas showgirl.

Lanvin Happy Pop Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Seventies chic is alive and well. For the past few seasons, we've been seeing traces of the 70's with a modern interpretation in the runway collections of Chloe and Louis Vuitton. For those who like the look but don't want to invest in a whole new wardrobe or outfit, Lanvin's sleek and sexy Happy Pop Clutch ($1290) is the way to go.

Reminiscent of the chic '70s, Lanvin's rust orange clutch is simply adorned with quilted detailing adding an air of understated elegance. With a detachable metal and leather shoulder strap, the Happy Pop Clutch works double duty as a ladylike shoulder bag. The interior is lined with jacquard fabric and features a zippered and organizational pocket. Dimensions: 5" x 9.5" x 2" with a 18" shoulder strap drop.

Lanvin Patent Leather Wedges

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Shoes

Perhaps it's the excitement and Oscar buzz over Black Swan, but Lanvin's Patent Wedges ($1280) completely reminds me of the movie. I can just imagine Natalie Portman's character wearing these to show her femme fatale side. They are seductively gorgeous and have an air of powerfulness with shimmering patent leather, a nude colored silk ribbon ankle tie which beautifully breaks up all the black, and 1 1/2" platform that instantly forces you to take notice. A subtle detail that speaks volumes is the angled detail on Lanvin's 5 1/2" wooden wedge heels. Wear with wide leg pants for a conservative look or with a body hugging dress to show off your femme fatale side.

Lanvin Mini Pop Leather Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Yesterday's bag was girly in an understated way but today's is anything but. This Lanvin Mini Pop Leather Shoulder Bag is anything but subtle with it's bright pink hue, oversized grosgrain bow embellishment, and chunky gold chain-and-ribbon shoulder strap. It's a basic fold-over design done in rich rose-colored leather with stitching detail and an oversized turn-lock closure. Other features include a large designer-stamped hanging tag, a black twill lining, and a smaller than you'd expect size of just 6"x6"x2". A great bag but be wary of what you wear it with -- keep things simple or you'll risk evoking a little 80s Madonna. $1,150

12 New Year's Eve Party Dresses

Filed under: Apparel

The Holiday Season is in full swing. Christmas is quickly approaching and before you know it, New Year's Eve will make its arrival. And you know what that means? The search begins, if it hasn't already, for the perfect dress to attend the world's ultimate party.

So what makes for the perfect dress? First off is comfort. If you don't feel comfortable and confident in what you are wearing, don't wear it. Even the most expensive dress by the best designer will not work if you don't feel comfortable. Second, forget the trends and wear a dress that works for your body. Find a complementing silhouette, color and length.

To help your quest for the right dress, we've searched and found a collection of some breathtaking and seductive dresses. We start with a gorgeous strapless party dress from Tracy Reese. The Curving Cloudcover Dress ($398) is made with various pieces of delicate chiffon that are layered together against a form fitting a-line silhouette. A dark color combination of black and grey with hints of sequins makes for a versatile dress that would complement all skin tones. Reese's elegant and ethereal dress is fashionable enough to be worn with minimal jewelry and sexy high-heeled patent leather pumps for a knock-out outfit.

Take a look through our gallery below of chic dresses to bring in the New Year.

Lanvin Amalia Medium Leather Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Lanvin Amalia Medium Leather Bag looks a little bit like a travel makeup bag to me but with the right outfit it could be really cute -- it certainly is a beautiful shade of deep fuschia. Quilted leather with a front zippered pocket and piping detail around the edges gets even more flirty detailing with a grosgrain-enhanced chain and patent leather shoulder strap. Other fun details include a removable logo-embossed tag and a zippered bottom for expanding the interior, and a black logo-printed lining with three interior pockets. $1,980

The Fashion Statement: Lanvin for eBay, I mean H&M

by Kristin Young (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Apparel, The Fashion Statement

Yeah, I did it. Early Saturday morning, I hauled myself out of bed and headed downtown to stand outside in the freezing cold for hours...just to get my hands on a Lanvin for H&M dress. I was in Washington, D.C., and that was good, I thought. The collection was going to be in only one store in the D.C/Maryland/Virginia area. Still, I'd have better odds at F. Street, NW, than on 5th Avenue in New York or the Bev Center in L.A.

An H&M saleswoman told me that the store would open by 8 a.m. and if I got there between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m., I should be okay. I arrived at 6 a.m. and was within the first 80 people. Not bad, I thought. I'll definitely get my hands on the dress I want. This is totally worth it.

Just before 8 a.m., they handed out colored wristbands and canvas gift bags containing a Lanvin for H&M scarf. Very nice. Each color wristband would allow 20 people at a time to shop the collection. They'd have 15 minutes. I was in the fourth group which would get me in by 9 a.m. Security everywhere. Very organized. Impressive.

Then the doors opened and, literally, all hell broke loose. Like Supermarket Sweep, people rushed the back corner where the collection was cordoned off, got through the metal barricades and started grabbing. The guards insisted nobody got in before their appointed time. But by the time order was restored and I got in, the collection was completely gone. I actually did walk away with a dress but only because it was too small for someone else.

H&M ostensibly enforces "a limit of purchasing a maximum of two pieces per product, i.e. not more than two sizes or pieces per product per customer." They're most likely trying to discourage people from flipping the merchandise for a profit. Lot of good that did them. I saw an army of guys walk out with armloads of dresses, T-shirts and shoes. You're telling me they're preparing for a New Year's Eve party?

Sure enough, Lanvin for H&M is a hot ticket on eBay. Page after page is filled with dresses and T-shirts. At the store, most dresses were tagged $199. On eBay, "buy it now" options are reaching $700!

As a Facebook friend put it: Lanvin should have just created a collection for eBay.

H&M's Lanvin Video Sneak Peek

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Apparel

Fast fashion retailer H&M released a video sneak peek of the much anticipated Lanvin line. We first heard back in September that Lanvin and its creative director Alber Elbaz would be working with the brand. Since then fashionistas have been excitedly waiting until the magic date of November 23 when the line will pop up in stores. The video preview of the Lanvin Heart H&M Collection showcases ruffled dresses in deep shades on beautiful women who cavort about a rather strange hotel. Behind it all is the charming, bespectacled Elbaz who sits behind a desk scribbling away while Lanvin-hungry women pay him homage.

H&M has done collaborations with a variety of designers over the past several years, tapping everyone from Karl Lagerfeld to Stella McCartney and even Madonna. Given the deluge of fashion designers working with brands like Target, H&M and TopShop, some fashion fatigue has set in but it seems like people are very enthused about the Lanvin line, which looks like it won't disappoint.

Lanvin Python Sandal

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Shoes

I first came across Lanvin's Python Sandals during the Fall/Winter 2010 runway show and fell in love. Now that I found them for purchase I'm beside myself with excitement. Unfortunately with a price tag of $2175, I won't be purchasing them anytime soon but I'm sure for those who can afford it are going to thoroughly enjoy them.

Lanvin's Sandals are made with jet black python with cut outs at the vamp and near the ankle resulting in a super sexy, undercover devilish look. Python provides these sexy heels with texture and natural adornments against a very dark color. No need to add anything else. If you wanted to highlight Lanvin's Sandals sex appeal, wear with a skirt, dress or even shorts (with tights) and show off your legs. But these could work just as well with straight or wide leg trousers or jeans for a subtle sexy look. Heel measurement: 4 1/2" with a 1" platform.

Lanvin Ouloulou Satin Pouchette, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Lanvin Ouloulou Satin Pouchette makes us say "Ooh la la!"

There's nothing like peach satin to give an outfit vintage appeal. This pretty pouchette has a hammered satin flap front, a delicate chain-link strap and a grosgrain pompom detail. The button covers a magnetic closure and adds shape to this lovely, peaches-and-cream purse.

Though it's a little pinker in person, this Italian-made bag exudes charm and innocence. The pouchette itself is 6" x 9.5" x 2" and lined in satin, ensuring only the very best treatment for the goodies you put inside it. While this would be difficult to pull off with a contrasting color, we'd love to see this with a little black dress, a little white dress or maybe, maybe a black-and-white pattern.

One extra thing to love about this purse: shiny satin transitions perfectly into the holiday season, and you'll definitely be able to carry this from now until the company holiday party.

The Lanvin Ouloulou Satin Pouchette is available from Barneys for $990.
