Save the Runway: DKNY does Fashion’s Night Out
September 10th, 2009 / Posted in Fashion by Megs Mahoney Dusil.
UPDATE: You can buy the totes from both NYC DKNY stores. DKNY Madison – 655 Madison Avenue (at 60th Street) and DKNY Soho – 420 West Broadway
I have no idea how anyone in NYC right now can decide where to make their stops for Fashion’s Night Out. One of the stops I would have liked to take was DKNY. First off, there will be DKNY Limited Edition Fall 2009 ‘Save the Runway’ Tote Bags in honor of Fashion’s Night Out and DKNY’s 20 year anniversary. These are limited edition and one-of-a-kind, 20 will be sold at the Madison Avenue store and 20 will be sold at the SoHo location. Materials on these bags will come entirely from DKNY’s Fall 2009 runway. Bag will be sold for $35 and proceeds benefit the National September 11th Memorial & Museum.

The lace up ankle boot is one of our favorite go-to styles for shoes this fall. Think sleek and edgy or casual chic. These the are the modern redux of the granny boot. This fall’s ankle boots take a stance with a higher heel and many fine details such as grommets, buckles and the platform sole for added height. Lace-up ankle boots will look fierce with black leggings, skinny jeans, or even a fitted black pencil skirt at the office. Styles range from rocker glam to sand colored suede for an luxe uptown look.

August 25th, 2009 / Posted in Exclusive, Fashion by Shannon Mahoney.
We love exclusives and one of our exclusives this week involves the amazing, trendsetting and fashion forward InStyle Magazine. If you don’t know already, tomorrow InStyle will launch their 15th Anniversary Special Issue. I got a chance to take a look at it today so that I could share some amazing offers with all of you Purse Blog fanatics. In fact, there are a few things I am dying to share with you!
This fall’s motorcycle trend is all about rich black leather clothing and accessories embellished with zippers, studs, and chains. The moto trend is focused on the sleek, streamlined and futuristic. With all of the amazing leather motorcycle jackets, vests, and boots this fall you’ll be able to indulge your inner biker chick on a whim.
For one, add an instant dose of biker vibe with Helmut Lang’s jersey and leather-draped jacket touting an asymmetrical exposed zipper. Note the fitted sleeves and body hugging shape of this jacket. To rev up your look pair with a pair of shapely and sleek skinny jeans or leggings.
Red is infused into bold accessories for fall 2009. The vibrant combination of red with black creates a mood inspired by pop art graphics and the season’s bold contrast of brights on black. We are drawn to the red and black color combo to pair with all black outfits and in particular this fall’s all black uniform of skinny denim leggings (a.k.a. “jeggings”) paired with black platform ankle booties like these Christian Louboutin Miss 120 platform ankle boots. And of course a requisite black leather or faux fur vest.

The red accents we’ve spotted (and covet!) include oversized ’70s inspired shades from Linda Farrow Luxe which are accented with an exotic lizard trim. Add some instant color and good fashion karma with a Day Birger et Mikkelsen Beaded tassel necklace, it’ll make a pretty accent on an over sized black layered tee.Judith Leiber’s heart ‘n soul clutch will make a sparkly and whimsical addition to any black or grey ensemble. Lastly the bold graphics of Markus Lupfer’s Laughing Lips merino sweater is just too cute to resist, perfect for your black and red color story this fall.
