Peter Pilotto makes the kind of prints that even the print shy in me can appreciate. Always tasteful the silhouettes of his collections are flattering and sexy at the same time. The Peter Pilotto Wrap skirt available at matches.

I’ve been out of the HS loop for a minute (sorry, but I’ve been traveling/working like crazy for my bread-and-butter job!) but I’ve noticed that Rihanna has been hitting the paparazzi circut HARD over the past week or two. RihRih looks amazing, but damn Ma is looking thin! Which is fine. I know you know how that goes, my women. There are those of us who in the midst of a crazy-ass storm take comfort with a box of cookies, while others take refuge in deprivation (or smoking or drinking or whatever). All work well enough as tonics for for easing the pains ripping through our hearts.

Here’s a quick look at the capsule collection of french label APC  for  liberty of London. Although  small flower prints are not really  mi estilo,  Paisley gets me every time. A closer look on the next page.

Designed by Lily Raskind, Sunshine & Shadow takes a bold yet understated approach to dressing women. The collections are sleek   modern and simple allowing individual style to shine. There’s a timeless/ not trendy quality to this collection , I like a lot. A closer  look at my faves from Sunshine& Shadow Spring /Summer 2009 , including fun hand dyed scarves on the flip.

Dearest of the dear, M.I.A., attended Time’s 100 Most Influential People in the World party and she got to chill with Oprah!! Haha, how cute is that? She’s looking like the grinning I-can’t-believe-this-is-happening innocent schoolgirl in this image, but if you click to the other side, she’s back to her badass self, hanging with her man , Ben Brewer (who–thank god, has upgraded and no longer appears to resemble Lionel Ritchie’s younger brother), and throwing up gang signs even!

The next day after she made her Met Gala statement Rihanna rocks the very coveted Rodarte leggings wich are really a perforated thigh high leg warmer. Available at Colette .  Tasteful detail, the shorts are looger in back ! A complete look ar RihRhi’s wow outfit and on the flip via UltimateRihanna.

To our British readers this might be old news, but I cannot get over UK based All Saints Spitafields. It could that  be  that their  women’s collection has hints of  my beloved Rick Owens, but I am totally smitten . The tops, the dresses, the knits  nearly froze me. And this is just a few of their very extensive men’s and women’s collection.  They even make a leather harness  ! Granted it does not putFleet Ilya to shame but   considering the extent of their line, the option is great . Check outAll Saints Spitafields !

When I met Kate D’arcy the designer of Toggery  recently,and I found myself in awe of what I like to   call a   true ’stilleto activist’. She had on as much accessories as yours truly which is miracle in itself(!) , but  mostly Kate’s collection of versatile basics also exemplified what  sustainable fashion should mean today:  A concious  fashion alternative , that  is not limited by the ‘eco’ term or  category and holds the same, design,  and style quotient as  any of its high end  contemporaries. Until sustainable apparel becomes the norm and not a ‘niche’  , take a  closer look at my favorite pieces of Toggery Autumn/Winter 2009.
