Spotlight: local designers

The MN fashion week shows have ended and we are now introduced to Minnesota's latest aspiring fashion designers. Check out the line up on the official website and here's a sneak peak into my favorite pick, George Moskal.

His line, self-described as "softened geometry", consists of wearable fabrics, complimentary colors, and enough edge to keep the looks from being too boring. You can find his entire line on his website.

To try, or not to try... that is the question

Out-there lingerie

Quite possibly our favorite blog, WhoWhatWear, has recently presented a trend that makes Sarah want to go buy neon bras, lace tops, and hot pants. Oh wait, she already has them. 

She's dying to try this daring trend, and she's not alone. 

But the questions remains: where the hell can you wear this in MN?!

Isabella is getting ready to launch a new website!

Inspired perhaps by the lovely new Caribou re-branding...our attendance at the 2010 women's entrepreneurial conference...

New York Fashion week...

the retirement of my old bedroom curtains or...

Soak up some Spring!

RIP Alexander McQueen

From Alexander McQueen 2010 Spring Collection

New York Fashion Week started today with the tragic news of Alexander McQueen's death. The London-based designer was an inspiration to many and the fashion world is shocked and saddened to hear of this loss.

Another reason to love Target

If you haven't stopped in your local Target to check out the Rodarte line, I encourage you to do so IMMEDIATELY!

The fantastic designer duo have some great pieces at everyday prices, what's not to love?

Check out the looks here!

...I couldn't resist this mustard skirt with tulle

It's the most wonderful time of the year...

AWARDS SEASON!!

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the holidays as much as the next person. What's not to love about excessive family gatherings, the shopping for loved ones [oh-so-personally] online, and snowstorms grand enough to shut down main highways throughout the upper midwest? :)

But with the new year comes a plethora of awards shows in LA and Hollywood; a time to flaunt glamorous gowns and bedazzled accessories down red carpets galore. Even behind the irony of it all (I mean California is a state defined not only by it's movie stars, actors, and bad reality-tv characters, but also by it's own enormous financial crisis...) I do enjoy seeing the designers creations (good and bad) and once in awhile an award given to the right people (HELLO Kate Winslet, 2009)

So mark your calendars, get out the popcorn and champagne, and enjoy the show(s)!

Isabella meets Project Runway's Christopher Straub

Sarah, Christopher, Natalie

Just a typical Sunday afternoon, chatting with this season's Project Runway fan favorite about fashion, Heidi Klum's quirks, Burberry, Minneapolis, and Tim Gunn's great uncle-vibe.

Showing his new line at The Hanger in Victoria, we were able to hear about his next steps as a designer, where he hopes to settle down (Minnesota, duh. He loves it here) and of course snap a few photos with him.
