Anne of Green Cables

It may still be 80 degrees but Fall is right around the corner and nothing screams cozy like a good cable-knit sweater. What was once a preppy closet staple is now very chic. Designers sent the perennial style down the runway in toppers, crops, light weaves and fur-trims for a more updated look than we've seen in the past. The cable sweater isn't just for roaming the school hallways with your cords anymore. Consider pairing the classic piece with a constructed skirt or flowy dress as you transition to the cooler temps.

Kate and Nicole always know how to make a classic piece cool. Kate pairs her cables with cute khaki trousers for a perfect Fall ensemble while Nicole pairs her dress with tights for a more winter appropriate look.

How fabulous are these two ladies? This style is most often found in neutrals so how fabulous is the red? D.I.E.

If you're looking for a more modern cable-knit sweater than the ones collecting dust in your closet, look no further. Retailers are offering them at all price ranges, in a variety of silhouettes. Happy Shopping!

Holmes and Yang

Mrs Cruise has been showcasing looks from Holmes and Yang on the red carpet for the past couple years and for her, it's personal. The actress and the uber popular celebrity stylist, Jeanne Yang, have finally made their relationship legitimate. The design partners first met several years ago when Jeanne styled Holmes on a magazine shoot and it was love at first sight. Since then, they have collaborated on looks for Holmes' appearances and created quite a buzz with speculation of a line to come. Well, the guessing game is finally over. The two unveiled their debut collection at trunk shows in LA, Chicago and New York in recent weeks. I'm sure this is just one of many collections to come from the adorable duo.

Ensembles from the Lookbook

The entire collection is cream, navy and black and every piece is lined in silk. It seems like a well made basics line but, the retails are reflective of the tailoring. Prices are steep ranging from about $400-$3500.

Face It!

The uber well-dressed Olivia Palermo was recently named the newest face of Tibi. I am so excited about this collaboration. The brand just suits her style. Often photographed on the street in Tibi, Ms Palermo favors classic pieces worn with pops of color and printed pieces with more subdued, yet fun, accessories. Expect to see Palermo in much more Tibi in coming months.

Does anyone frequent the Tibi blog? It is so good!

Everybody Wang Chung Tonight!

The can-do-no-wrong designer, Alexander Wang, opened his first store last week in the ever popular NY neighborhood of Soho. He enlisted the help of designer, Ryan Korban, to assist in the layout of the flagship store. Wang didn't want a strictly retail vibe. He wanted guests to feel like they were walking into his home and in fact, the store was modeled after his Tribeca apartment. It seems the collaborators met in the middle because the look is exactly what one would expect from the duo - minimalistic, high contrast, and everything in its place. The look is purposeful but nothing too pretentious.

I love the addition of the fox fur hammock. It screams, we don't take ourselves too seriously! The last photo is an installation that will evolve with time but at the moment, is made up of baby's breath arch ways.

Below are pictures from Ryan Korban's very own boutique, Edon Manor, which he opened several years ago with a friend:

The vibe is much more feminine and cozy yet still offers that boutique shopping experience.

Another space from Korban although i'm not sure what store it is from. I think it's such a great, touch space. Seems to suit Ryan's personal style perfectly.

Kidding Around

Who doesn't love children? Ok well not everyone but, they are cute and they look even cuter when they're sporting the newest D&G or Stella McCartney children's collection. These kids also happen to be the newest inspiration for street photographers like The Sartorialist, Garance Dore and Jak and Jil. I wouldn't want to post me in my pink and green bunny sweater and matching hats from 1st grade next to these chillins. It's tough being a triple threat as a toddler!

Where is my silver spoon?

Color and fun - only appropriate!

These two are future "IT" girls

This second picture reminds me of gossip girls. Don't be fooled by their innocence

All bundled up but still looking uber stylish

Style isn't just for the young girls either:

These boys are future heartbreakers.
