As a little girl I had many tv obsessions one of them was  I dream of Jeannie. Needless to say it was all about  Jeannie’s outfit,  the midriff top, the veil and of course the pouffy pants. Seriously,  I  even  mimicked the opening cartoon  dance ( If  I lost you  wou can watch an episode here). 

So when most of fashion  was Eww-ing at Harem pants all I could think about  was that  finally I could  have my Jeannie pants, and wear them in public! The task of finding the perfect pair is another story but thanks to Asos , I’m very close to perfection via their slashed version. Available for  $34 . Yes I own them. A closer look on the next page as well the version worn by the  UK’s Cheryl Cole who created quite a stir on a stage with her version.

For Spring 2010 Creative Recreation presents their trademark Cesario silhouette in a slimmer lightweight canvas . Now if we could have consistent sunny days in New York that would be fantastic. A closer look at  on the next page.

Becoming the Target of even-cooler-designer collabos, Opening Ceremony serves up yet another partnership with a series of rope-soled, platform oxfords, designed with French footwear designer Robert Clergerie.

More oceanic themes are popping up or rather are becoming more eye-catching as the trend continues to heat up. Nektar de Stagni’s collection of necklaces and rings is called “Snakes and Pearls,” and the designer uses bits of coral, as well sea sand, pearl and bone to create pieces that exude mystery (what is it about the ocean that creates that affect??)

More details on the collection at TheThread. More images of the collection after the flip.

Watch an adorable, behind-the-scenes video of Chris Louboutin preparing for a dance vide0 (which can be viewed at Fashionair) that functions largely as a marketing piece for the brand–images of shoes flash along side the video as it plays. This one is actually funner as it features some interview with Christian, who reveals that this is his first time doing a coreographed dance. “I’ve been dancing like everyone in clubs and that’s about it.” Not bad, Christian!

La Diabla herself attended the Museum of Modern Art premiere of “Bill Cunningham’s New York,” and she looked her same unchanging self (which is reassuring in some way while at the same time jarring given the ever-evolving nature of fashion.) Notably absent from the red carpet images from Wire is Bill himself! Which natch, leads one to wonder if he couldn’t tear himself away from his role as street photographer for even long enough to walk his own carpet!

One more shot of Anne after the flip.

It does not feel like it today but summer will come soon ! Modeled after the traditional indian ‘Paduka’  Zwamisz  are perfect in preventing  the too often messed up  pedicure  by wearing strappy sandals. Made of natural rubber  these sandals are  just perfect. Available at tiptopshoes.

After making my forever longed for visit to Valley Salon for a manicure (will be posting a feature later that includes an interview with co-owner Julia) I took a stroll around SoHo to snap some shots of storefronts. It was a super sunny day, which is not the best for photographing glass, but ehh, I want to make this a regular feature so I went with what I could get to get the ball moving. 

What’s surprising is how crummy some of the windows are and not just because they need a good wash. Louis Vuitton and Miu Miu were fantastic (as they usually are),  and I especialy admired how the LV window recalled themes from the Spring 2010 show.  But given their usually impeccable runway presentations, I was a little disappointed by Chanel and very disappointed by Burberry.

After the flip find more images of the retailers mentioned here, plus Tokidoki (predictable) and TopShop (totally average).

The ladies at  M.I.S.S.  took their love of  Chanel  and dedicated an entire  web mag to the interlocking  C’s filled with news, images,  and much more. Word of caution to the Chanel fiends your head might  spin. (lachanelphile.com)

Jose Duran is a name that is not quite yet on every  fashion tongue, but we can see that changing very soon. His Spring /Summer 2010 colletion illustrates what the buzz is all about , a great manipulation of fabric, tailoring mixed with just  enough sexiness to make it wearable by the average stylish woman with a taste for the avant-garde. A  closer look at Jose Duran Spring/Summer 2010.
