Her line – Simply Vera Vera Wang – continues to be fresh, accessible, and delicate.  It doesn’t scream KOHL’s (of course, it doesn’t announce COUTURE either, but we digress…); she’s somehow been able to maintain a mainstream presence in a national chain without her high-end line losing it’s perceived value and positioning.  Simply…a feat.

Here we present some of the pieces from her Kohl’s collection that can be yours for the taking, if you so choose.  Enjoy!

embellished tank - great layering piece in a chic color

flyaway cardigan - fab way to dress up a tank & denim ensemble

Box-pleat wristlet - very cute! very chic!

gladiator sandals - love these...the color is so versatile

denim capris - a ubiquitous essential for any summer wardrobe

Press.

You know we stay digging on prep and work wear inspired style – check for these fly 14 and a 1/4 oz selvedge joints along with the boots to drop Fall ‘10.

I am loving Alyson Fox right now.  A multi-faceted artist who’s into jewelry-making, illustration, fashion photography – a complete trifecta of the imagination!

Her style is a bit stark, kind of crisp and cool like a breeze coming in off the ocean.  The visual presentations she creates seem to be mired in a hipster-ish POV, but with the tiniest twinge of innocence dancing around the edges.

Oh, to only be a creative type.  I yearn for it.  Yet while I continue my personal journey of creative discovery, I will get lost in the admiration I feel viewing the work like those of Ms. Alyson Fox.

Check out her jewelry and designs, a small collection.

By now you all know that we pub Bliss Lau heavy; I’ve been enamored by her jewelry since first laying eyes on it back in February of last year at Project / Las Vegas. Unlike anything before it, Bliss’ line of progressive body jewelry – chains and bracelets – speak to the innate nature of what Lume + Lux represents – the exclusiveness of you.

Not for the faint of heart, the Riot Bracelet demands to be worn with attitude and a certain confidence. Currently on SALE ~ Check for it in the Boutique Section here

R&B/Hip-Hop artist, Kelis’ look at the 1st Annual Data Awards.  We want to overstand, so please explain this look, Kelsi…

Studs, cutouts, chains, and sexiness will figuratively [and literally] ooze out of your hands, should you choose to go the way of Peter.  Odd as it may sound, the gloves are fly as hell…oh, and did I mention you could do a mean “jazz hand” while donning this beauties??

Mike + Chris Rohan leather jacket

Baby, it’s cold outside!

I have an odd love of coats. ‘Tis the season for thick, luxurious, progressively stylish versions.

Popping over to notcouture, I noticed a plethora of mens’ coats on display. My personal fav, a band coat by Zara {another fav} may not keep one as warm as is needed in this awful winter weather, but you damn sure will look good while you freeze!

Check out some other versions of classically cut mens’ outerwear. And while you’re at it, pop over to our boutique. We have a couple selections of outerwear for women, progressively styled and ready for you to wear!
