The ruffled front and spot-on trend color of this Just Cavalli blouse will definitely stand out in a sea of heathers and navys. Translation? This feminine blouse is an attention getter. Pair it with a navy pencil skirt and lace up oxfords, or with high-waisted wide-leg denim pants and black pointy toe boots.

First it was the ultra cool denim line which burgeoned into a full blown clothing line. Next it was the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Finalist in 2007. Then of course there is the furniture pieces, better known as Rogan Object and the brand's extension into shoes. How could Target not be far behind? Well, actually they were not. Target, known for their designer capsule collections, had its eye on target with getting Rogan on board. The Loomstate project, reflects designer Rogan Gregory’s environmentally conscious designs and approach to fashion. In April 2009, the mass retailer will unveil the Loomstate by Rogan Gregory label with a kick-off of items for both men and women. The line will feature luxurious sustainable fabrics rendered into simple styles and shapes. The line will range from $14.99 to $44.99, with its launch coinciding with National Earth day on April 22. Now this is not the first fashion foray for Rogan with Target, he designed Rogan for Target in May of this year. Of course as most recessionistas already know, mass retailers in this economy are a girl's best friend.

The divine Ms. Kate Moss is at it again with her newest presentation for Topshop for spring. The Londonista is working with London-based Liberty store print designers to create exclusive fabrics for her upcoming line for S/S 2009. Liberty - a print maker that dates back to 1875 - is not new to high profile collaboration. In the past they have worked with everyone from Nike to the Gap. The Kate Moss for Topshop prints are not the brands first foray into fashion with Topshop either. Earlier in the month they launched a lingerie line made from their famous prints for Topshop's Oxford Circus locale. So if you are a fan of Moss and Liberty, keep your eyes peeled on Topshop's online site because anything Ms. Moss makes, sells out like hot cakes.

Selvedge denim, Long an underground denim-head’s whispered secret, has now made a triumphant return and gone main stream. Yes, even if you never noticed that white seam exposed on an upturned cuff, you have probably heard of it. What started as a jean phenomenon in the early '90s with cult jean makers like Evisu, has now reached the masses with help in part from retailers like J.Crew’s selvedge brand. For a better understanding on its importance, it helps to think of selvedge denim like an estate wine with limited bottling and distribution, an indigo brew of sorts. Traditionally peddled to men only, selvedge is now finding a home in a woman’s closet as much as a man’s thanks in part to the boyfriend jean trend. The name in itself has significance, as it means self-edge, referring to the way the fabric is woven. Selvedge, was traditionally made with shuttle looms which passed a continuous thread back and forth, where the white thread looped back into the blue, a solid, white edge was formed. The shuttle looms were sold off to the Japanese in the 1950s/60s and ceased production here. This of course explains the cult-like following of the thick, rough-hewn Japanese denim that has global retailers making pilgrimages to denim shrine Hinoya Plus Mart in Tokyo. What is even better than that? Zappos carries it. Yay! Couture’s pick: Evisu Embroidered Brush Stroke Jean.

From its humble beginnings on Scottish battlefields in the 1500s, to designer runways for Fall 2008, tartan and tartan-esque plaid have made a huge fashionable resurgence.

Rose Suede and Plaid ankle boot, and Roxy Crimson Make It Happen Shoulder Tote.

Ladies, rev your engines! Cooler air calls for leather jackets – but think biker chic, not greased lighting.

Soften the look by pairing it with a flowy skirt and metallic pumps. Both looks are understated yet sexy. Our pick: Bod & Christensen Black Azzure Lamb Bolerzo.
