Don’t weave in and out of the woven shoes trend. They’re most flattering in wedge form and extremely summery. Pair these with a floaty white skirt and a cute tank top or khaki shorts and a V-neck sweater for a night out.

The brothers Caten of the DSQUARED2 label mix superb craftsmanship, cool practicality and a little theatre (a holdover from their party host days, no doubt) to create one of the most sought after labels of today. The fashion cognoscenti were particularly abuzz about the Men’s Fall 2008 collection. It was all about the tailoring, the ski motif, the camouflage bomber jackets, tartan plaid and the mix of usual suspects — a little swagger and joie de vivre.
How happy are we here at Couture that we carry the line of shoes? Estastic, actually. Our picks for men are: a great, versatile summer sandal; a wonderful monotonal everyday shoe; and a shoe for an evening at La Bernadine or the opera. For women, we were torn, so much to choose from, so few words to write it in: good enough for Rihanna on the runway, good enough for us; this artfully, height challenging sandal is worth the climb; and who doesn’t need a sensible, sexy hot shoe?
What's yellow, green, red and white all over? These fabulous stilettos from Guiseppe Zanotti, silly. You are able to walk many city blocks in them, they make your legs look longer than the fifty-foot woman (okay, maybe four inches longer), they elicit whistles wherever you turn. Yes, we love them so. But don't take our word for it. Buy them, try them and whistle while you strut.
A bubble hem dress is an elegant yet simple dress that every one should have in their
wardrobe. The line of the dress and proportion of the hem’s volume come and go
over seasons, but ones like this pitch perfect silhouette by Moschino, is ultra-feminine
and never goes out of style.
The What: Moschino's scoop neck tie dress
The How To: 1. D&G Dolce & Gabbana dangling earrings 2. Marc by Marc Jacobs acrylic stud cuff 3. Furla Lara Medium shoulder bag 4. Emilio Pucci Chain link andle-tie strappy leather sandal
When: For after-work fun.
The Why: Simple, sophisticated elegance.
those stuffy boots and lace-up oxfords and bare them in fun, flirty
sandals. Miss Trish of Capri has lots of great styles – gladiator flip-flops, tie-up flip-flops and sandals with tropical-esque embellishments like gold seahorses,
turquoise and white. Take your pick – you can’t go wrong with any of
her flats – but our favorite is the Bali seahorse sandal.

Who wears short shorts? Women who know how to pull them off, long or short, the right way! Do: find the right length and shape for your body. Don’t: copy Daisy Duke or similar looks from magazines. These shorts by Moschino are high-waisted enough to tuck in shirts without looking costumey, or work with a long camisole. Wear them with sleek sandals and a few simple bangles, and you’re ready to go! Note: make sure your legs have seen at least some self-tanner before wearing.

“It’s all in the details,” Vera Wang is often quoted as saying, and that so aptly describes designer Derek Lam. Some designers are invented, then there are those that are, in a sense, manner born to it, as was the exuberant but at once artfully restrained Derek Lam. This former Parsons School of Design graduate and CFDA winner started his career as an assistant to designer Michael Kors, quickly moving on to Vice President of Design for the Kors line before starting his own eponymous line in 2003. His signature pretty, girly and crisp silhouettes caught the eye of Diego Della Valle of Tods and was soon installed as its Creative Director. For those of you who follow his design genius, you know this is a design reign which is truly artistically supreme.
Luckily for all of the fashionistas that can’t quite afford his designer runway pieces, he has developed an accessory line. Um, thank you Derek, as though I needed another shopping obssession. Couture.Zappos.com features his fabulous sunglasses in an array of styles such as the Gemma (Gemma Ward perhaps?), Camille (actress Camille Belle?) and the Venetia (an ode to Tods owner Diego?). Whatever your shade or shape, these sunglasses will elicit the behind-your-back gossip that proves you have truly fashionably impressed!
