Ah, the fabulous Mr. Jonathan, where does one begin to describe this fashion visionary's sense of style. He has the classic tastes that evoke images of a bygone era, from his bespoke jackets, to his crisp tailored and embroidered shirts, right down to his enviable cufflink collection and vintage watch chains. The Couture team finds him to be that wonderful combination of old Hollywood - think Robert Mitchum/Humphrey Bogart - polish mixed with a relaxed, yet edgy modernity. Whether he is perfectly turned out in cuffed denim, a dress shirt and funky shoes, or a suit jacket, tie and classic jewelry pieces, his style sense always deserves a fashionable yes!

HELLO KITTY GOES LUXE

Hello Kitty has luxury ideas, or at least the brand's parent company, Sanrio, does. Sanrio has set up a 1,200-square-foot luxe concept shop in the heart of New York's 42nd Street, which will house products as diverse as a $5 pencil pack to a $30,000 diamond-encrusted pendant that can only be found in the Times Square space. The space is not a new one per se, but rather a refurbishing of its original Hello Kitty store concept at 233 West 42nd Street, which is set to open November 11. Janet Hsu, president of Sanrio global consumer products explained the idea behind the store concept during an interview with WWD, "Hello Kitty has been in the U.S. since 1976, so many women have grown up with the brand," she said. "We thought this was a great new way to present some of our most exclusive products."

In this economic uncertainty, it will remain to be seen whether or not the love of Hello Kitty will cause a consumer to throw caution to the wind and purchase a $30,000 piece or $1,000 piece for that matter. Hello Kitty, indeed.

Fans of model Chanel Iman rejoice! She is coming to a computer screen near you. The adorable model newcomer decided to let her fans have a more intimate look into her life via her short format videos on YouTube. The videos cover everything from her beauty routines to how she gets ready in the morning to her hair and favorite clothing. We personally love the video where Chanel is giving her mother a mini makeover. SO adorable. Maybe if we get lucky, she will video blog from the next round of fashion shows. We can only hope.

The lovely shoes of Stuart Weitzman are always in the news, what with all of the bevy of beauties that wear his shoes, how could they not be. One of the latest sightings were Angelina Jolie leaving Nobu in New York City, sporting a pair of Weitzman's hummus patent Sashay peep-toe pumps and Mrs. Jay-Z (Beyonce, of course) rocking a pair of Stuart's pewter Wicky sling-back peep toe platforms at the Bermuda Music Festival. So, how lucky are you that we carry those very shoes? Um, very.

One sleeve on, one sleeve off…being off-center is now stylish. Bring home the asymmetrical look with this CNC top – worn with jeans and killer heels, it’s perfect for a night on the town.
