A Little Punk, a Little Lady-like

Administrator

I was walking through the Macy’s in Herald Square the other day when a section of clothes caught my eye, the Rachel Roy collection.  It was love at first sight.  Rachel Roy dresses are sexy, cute, and flirty, all at the same time.  It’s really hard for a single piece of clothing to be all three, but Rachel Roy nails it.  The best part about the collection is that Roy really understands a woman’s shape.  I bought the Dart Dress and all of my friends have been going absolutely crazy about the dress, asking me constantly, “Where did you buy that dress?”

I absolutely love the color of this dress and it was only $99!  Rachel Roy clothes all look super expensive, but are quite affordable.  The new dress that I want to bring your attention to though is the Chunky Chain Dress ($109).

I love this dress because it’s a little punk and a little lady-like.  Even if you’re not punk, you can pull it off and even if you’re not the cutesy type (which is me), you can pull it off.  You can dress it down with a pair of casual boots for a shopping trip around 5th avenue or you can dress it up with a pair of sexy heels to go out at night!  Haute PR loves versatility so this dress is perfect.

The Cute Summer Look

Administrator

One of my favorite clothing brands is TART, which I discovered on Gilt (excellent website).  I now own many shirts from TART and my favorite dress that I own is from there as well.  My favorite part about the clothes is that the material is always high quality and so comfortable against my skin.  I was surfing on the web yesterday and saw this gorgeous dress from the summer 2010 collection of TART.  I think it’s stunning and perfect for the summer (vibrant colors and print, how could you say no).  Not to mention how much I love off-the-shoulder clothes.

Tart Summer Collection 2010

The item that would go along perfectly with this dress would be a gold metallic RuMe bag!

The perfect shoes?  The best outfits have the bag and the shoes matching so how about a pair of Akira Strappy Sandals from BCBG Maxazria?

Summer fabulous!!!

1 Item, Infinite Possibilities

Administrator

The other day I went shopping and visited the DKNY store on 5th Avenue.  DKNY is not my usual store, but on this day, one item caught my eye right away: the Linen Sleeveless Cozy.  It is the most versatile piece of clothing I’ve ever seen.  You can wear it as a sweater, make a poncho out of it, wear it as a wrap… the possibilities are endless!  In fact, it’s so versatile that DKNY gives you a BOOK to guide you through how to style it.  This item is a must.  Even if you’re not going to buy it, I suggest you just go into DKNY and try it on.  Trust me, you’ll fall in love!  Make sure to ask for the Cozy Lookbook and get help from the employees when you try it on.  You’ll be amazed at what they can do for you with this item.

The Linen Sleeveless Cozy also comes in Watermelon and Lemonade colors and costs $145.  Completely worth the $145 because of how many different looks you can get from one Cozy.

Smoking HOT Taylor Lautner

Administrator

Perez Hilton recently announced that Taylor Lautner was going to be on the cover of July’s issue of GQ.  I don’t think I even have to say who Lautner is nor go into how HOT he is because you ALL know it!  Let’s all do a moment of silence to take in how hot he is in this photo…

I’m going to begin by highlighting how much I love RuMe bags.  They are so fashionable (come in 100 different colors and prints) and versatile!  So… you can only imagine how EXCITED I was when I saw this photo…

Lautner sports RuMe!

I’ve got my RuMe bags.  Join the trend!  You can purchase them on www.rumebags.com, Amazon, Neiman Marcus, The Container Store, or Whole Foods!

In Defense of Guess (though we still ♥ you, Olivia!) — Fashion PR

Administrator

Did you guys see this week’s epi of The City? So much drama, and, as always, Olivia Palermo was stirring up trouble! Olivia didn’t wear anything by GUESS at a GUESS [by Marciano] party, which is a major no-no; we’ve found a few things that she could have worn to support the brand and still have looked every bit the fashionista she is.


This dress was the dress Olivia suggested to Erin Kaplan during the episode. She called it “chunky” but we call it sexy (especially in the other gorgeous pink color)!


This dress reminds us of Kim Cattrall’s dress at the Sex and the City 2 Premiere. The color would definitely work with the tan that I’m sure so many of you lovely ladies are going to get this summer and can be jazzed up with a brightly colored clutch.

Finally, nothing is better than a LBD for a stylish girl like Olivia (and the Haute PR Fashion Femmes, of course!). You can add all sorts of accessories to make your look unique; we’d add some pink and sparkly jewelry to stand out from the crowd at our NYC Fashion PR parties.

Get Cynthia Nixon’s SATC 2 Red Carpet Look!

Administrator

Are you more of a Miranda than a Carrie? Then we will totes hook you up with the scoop on how to get Cynthia Nixon’s red carpet look from the “Sex and the City 2” premiere. It’s easy: take any black strapless dress and add a brooch at the bust. Although Nixon was not wearing a brooch at the premiere, as the feather-like ornament was actually just part of her dress, we can pull the look off with a brooch without having to find a dress that has that embellishment attached already.  This is a great way to keep your party style fresh, since you can wear a basic dress zillions of different ways by adding different brooches!

If you want to use a brooch just like the one in the photograph, you can get this look for less from Amazon. It’s cubic zirconia, feather shaped, and the best part: only $58.00.  You can also choose a brooch that isn’t exactly like Nixon’s to make your own glam statement.

Swarovski also makes fabulous brooches, with prices ranging from $60 to $200, making it a solid source of this accessory. There are many options available, many of which were outlined here on another blog. Of course, if you’re on a tight budget, you could always get an inexpensive dress to lower the costs involved; as long as you get the right brooch, you can make any plain dress come to life!

The key is to make sure the dress is basic; if you look at Cynthia Nixon’s photo from the Sex and the City 2 premiere , you’ll notice her dress is very simple—no ruffles, no complicating stitching, nor lace.  We’ve found a great dress that meets these qualifications at Express, shown below and for only $44.50!

The total look would be $102.50, which is quite a steal to get a red-carpet ready look. Plus, you can wear brooches with so much that you can use your brooch many times to turn basic outfits that you own into classy, sophisticated looks!

Get Sarah Jessica Parker’s SATC 2 NYC Premiere Look!

Administrator

Did you gush over the neon yellow dress that Sarah Jessica Parker wore to the premiere of the movie “Sex and the City 2″ as much as we did?  Now, you can get her look for $58.00!

Victoria’s Secret One-shoulder Bra Top dress

The key to her dress was the unique way in which her dress was cut around the shoulders and the bust, and this Victoria’s Secret dress has a similar shape.  It’s fun, flirty, and sexy all at the same time, just like Carrie Bradshaw!  Just like Parker did for her red carpet look, choose a pair of shoes that is a different color from the dress—Parker wore dark grey, almost black shoes.  The Haute PR Fashion Femmes recommend some oh-so-trendy beige heels to go with the dress shown. However, the dress comes in many other colors to express your inner Carrie, like bright cobalt, fiesta red, and solid black.

Breaking: Gaultier Leaving Hermes

Administrator

After a seven year partnership, Jean-Paul Gaultier is leaving Hermes. His Spring/Summer 2011 collection will be his last with the company, and it will be interesting to see how he leaves his mark on the runway this fall. He brought  fresh, but controlled energy and creativity to Hermes that he usually lets run wild in his personal line, and kept, if not greatly bolstered, Hermes as the ultimate line of luxury.

Christian Lemaire, currently creative director of Lacoste, will be his replacement. Lemaire was able to take Lacoste from the insufferably-preppy brand to prep-with-style.  His revitalization of the brand led to doubled sales in five years and a renewal of its status as a high-end brand. We think Hermes has made a great pick, and can’t wait to see what Lemaire will do to continue Hermes’ evolution as the ultimate source of classy fashion!

Sex and the City NY Premiere

Administrator

One of the most exciting parts of watching the Sex and the City movie when it came out in 2008 was the fashion.  Everyone probably remembers the blue Manolo Blahnik, “Something Blue Satin Pump,” (can be found on www.bergdorfgoodman.com for $945.00), the shoes that Carrie Bradshaw wore to her wedding at city hall.  In case you have forgotten, we are getting closer and closer to the date that we have all been waiting for, May 27th!  Yes, in two days, Sex and the City 2 will be playing in theaters.

Yesterday, the premiere for Sex and the City 2 took place in New York City at Radio City Music Hall.  The fabulous four (Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon) attended the event and of course, all of them were dressed fabulously, just like their characters in the movie.  In fact, they seemed to have tried to match their characters through their outfits.

Sarah Jessica Parker definitely stole the show with a bright yellow Valentino that has an asymmetrical cut.  Her dress was fun, girly, and quirky, just like Carrie Bradshaw.

USA FILM PREMIERE

Kim Cattrall wore an embellished Naeem Kahn gown which was a pale green-yellow, a daring shade that we haven’t seen often in the past.  She plays Samantha Jones in SATC, a woman who is definitely not afraid of sexy attire, and Cattrall’s gown at the premiere was definitely sexier than the other actresses’ dresses, true to her character’s style.

Kristin Davis wore a hot pink vintage Jean Desses strapless dress.  She plays Charlotte York in the movie, a sophisticated, cute house-wife; accordingly, she chose a classic and feminine pink dress.

Cynthia Nixon went to the premiere in a black strapless Carolina Herrera gown with a simple feather-like ornament at the bust.  Nixon plays Miranda Hobbes in the movie, a lawyer that has trouble balancing out work and her family.  Hence, the dress was simple, sleek, and safe, just like the personality of Miranda, but still fashionable as always.

So, we’ve seen the fashion of the actresses, but I definitely cannot wait until I see the Sex and the City characters’ fashion! Again, the movie comes out  May 27th, 2010!  Make a note in your calendars, update your blackberry schedule, or whatever you use to keep yourself organized.  Be sure to watch the movie as soon as possible since Sex and the City sets the fashion trend.

At the premiere, MTV questioned the celebrities like Whitney Port, “What character are you?”  Whitney Port replied that she would be Carrie Bradshaw because she is very career oriented.  So here’s my question for you, “What character would you like to dress like?” Post your answer in the comments!

Knotty Boys Need Love Too

Administrator

There was a day and age, not long ago, when a bowtie was evocative of grandpas and Tucker Carlson.  Now, even Tucker has eschewed the bowtie and the hip kids have embraced it.  I had dinner with a well dressed Canadian cutie Friday night and he was looking quite dapper in his bowtie and Gucci belt.  I asked why fashionable guys wear bowties and he told me he’s been watching a lot of Mad Men and is feeling the whole retro vibe.  He also reminded me of Chuck Bass from Gossip Girl.   Fashion is cyclical and this fashion trend has gone from geek to chic.
