Malandrino and Lacoste Collaborate! A Few Goody Gumdrops Has The Scoop!

We love when designers collaborate on a fabulous and fun collection. This one is an exciting collaboration between two fashionable French lines....Lacoste and Catherine Malandrino. (reminds us of Stella McCartney for Addidas which we live in) The result is ultra-chic pieces for an active lifestyle! Personally, we'd live in these timesless and fun everyday sport clothes. We'd pair with Lanvin sneakers to keep that ever-so chic look. We do love that crocodile!

Guest Blogger thefind.com's Modern Take on Cat-Eye Sunglasses!

In fashion, what once was old is almost always new,fabulous and revamped a decade or so later, and cat-eye sunglasses are a prime example. First popular in the 50s and 60s, cat-eye frames were the epitome of effortless, sun-basking glamour, and given the recent delay of Mad Men (gutted!), we fashionistas are seriously jonesing for our retro fix! To avoid literal costume-y interpretations of the trend, the 2011 reworkings are a bit rounder than their original catty counterparts, usually with just the slightest sharpness in the corners for the right cat-eye effect — but it really depends on the style, and how much you want to embrace it! To futuristic GaGa-esque frames to angular wayfarer hybrids and 60s-style round-framed shades with just the slightest feline influence at the corners, the possibilities are nearly endless, and you’re bound to find a modernized take on cat-eye shades to suit your fancy (and your face shape)!

Proenza Schouler Printed Dress!

Printed dresses are definetly one of this season's hottest trends. While we almost always wear very neutral palletes we love this printed dress and the color shades from Proenza Schouler. Proenza's silk twill dress with black, cream,white and neon yellow features an abstract gradient print and black waistline. This is an ever-so cool dress for afternoon or evening. It's casual enough for daytime or you can dress it up for evening. As far as prints go...we say go for it and click the green link to indulge! Designer A-Z at mytheresa.com We think it looks best with sandals and bright yellow nail polish for a trendier look!

A Few Goody Gumdrops Reviews Christian Francis Roth's Sixties Inspired Collection!

We're so excited to share designs from Christian Francis Roth's Fall 2011 Collection. The collection is sophisticated and fun with lots of color. We love his ever-so stylish designs with a 1960's twist. Add the heavy eyeliner, the malt frosted lipstick, Roger Vivier shoes and you're good to go! We know you'll enjoy this exciting collection as much as we do.

Roth's Francis Girl this season is a ‘60s Mod jetsetter inspired by the golden age of flying. Her bags are packed with fabulous dresses, coats and tops. She’s ready for takeoff. Her career and social life are already flying high, and her new Francis wardrobe adds some first class fun to her non-stop schedule. From pop art brights to rich fall hues, she adores color. Classic silhouettes are decorated with unique details for a playful yet sophisticated look that would look first rate wherever she travels. This collection will be flying off the shelves!

Gucci For The Rain and The Beach!

Have you ever been in great shoes and it starts to pour and you know you're your pricey shoes are going to be destroyed? Whenever I go away I always toss a pair of Gucci rubber shoes in my bag so I can make the switch! This happens to me almost every time I travel to NY on business. I'm loving these Gucci Marola Jelly Flats with the rubber sole. They're light, flexible and so easy to put in my handbag. They feature sculpted rubber straps with the GG logo at the open toe. I own them in black but just bought the lilac for Spring. Click the green link to indulge. Of course, they're fabulous for the beach, too!! Shoes & Handbags I know you'll thank me the next time you're away and its starts to rain. I always carry a garbage bag for my Birkin. Now that's chic and timeless!

Guest Blogger the find.com Loves The Leopard Trend!

Loving the Latest Leopard Top Trend

I really don’t think I can get enough of the leopard print trend. I went to a recent meet-up event and found quite a few of my favorite girls clad in sexy and sophisticated feline-inspired prints. Pairing their own leopard print tops with bright colors, sophisticated staples, and more! But not just wardrobe pairings are making what was once old new again. The leopard print is getting up-to-date with new materials, silhouettes, and refreshing textile designs. Here are three new ways designers are recreating the leopard top trend:


Try it with Dolman Sleeves, like Forever 21’s Knit Leopard Tunic. Dolman sleeves are a stunningly sophisticated accent to any shirt, especially leopard. Wear it with a pencil skirt and heels for the ultimate glam outfit.


Try it in Sheer Silk, like Equipments’ Signature Leopard Print Silk Blouse. Sexy and super seductive, the luxurious sheer silk looks great dressed up with a pair of dark skinny denims or dressed up, layered with a little black dress.


Try it with a Cut Out, like Super Marley Slouch Tee in Leopard. The cut out top can look uber trendy when paired with denim and a fedora or effortlessly styled with stilettos and harem pants.

Make A Statement With Roger Vivier's Clutch and Alexandre Birman's Sandals!

Roger Vivier's Vegetable Calf Clutch with the signature buckle logo is so perfect for this season! The clutch is ever-so chic and timeless. The size and simple detailing make this clutch a must-have. The color works great with whites, blacks, tans, creams and even prints. This bag is elegant and perfect for evenings, luncheons, gallery openings, dinners and more. I'd pair with skinny jeans, a blazer and Alexandre Birman Ostrich ankle sandals. Click the green link to indulge.

Guest blogger Thefind.com Goes Bollywood with Mickey for Mac!

Not only is Mickey Contractor the mastermind behind Bollywood’s perfectly-applied faces, but he’s also MAC’s Director of Makeup Artistry for India — so it’s only fitting that he’d have his own MAC collection to share his makeup genius with fans on this side of the pond and beyond! The Mickey Contractor for MAC collection, isn’t quite as over-the-top and theatrical as you might expect from the king of Bollywood beauty. The surprisingly reigned-in collection focuses mainly on creamy, flawless skin and rich, matte blush shades to bring movie star skin to the masses. After all, a gorgeous base is the first important step for any makeup look. But don’t get me wrong — it’s not all just about amped-up neutrals! The collection also features the occasional pop of saturated color, from the peacock-hued gel liner to the bright fuchsia lipstick that brings a little pizzazz to the otherwise subdued selection! I especially love the deep purple Marvel shadow, which shimmers with pink pearl. As a result, the overall collection impresses with mostly wearable shades, broken up with more exciting bold colors that come across as refreshing and fun rather than garish and expected! Look out for its debut in the new year!

Alexander Wang's Chunky Must-Have!

Alexander Wang's white chunky over-sized cardigan  is so fabulous for Spring. We're always looking for the perfect white sweater which happens to be hard to find! This very cool sweater features contrast knit detail on the sleeves with a dark button front closure and hidden side pockets. We love this must-have chunky cotton and nylon sweater...buttoned. Great throw on sweater all Spring and Summer. Pair with everything you own! Looks ever-so trendy with Wang's black classic wool blend tailored trousers with folded cuffs.Click the green link to indulge.Clothing at mytheresa.com Alexander Wang always adds that edgy twist to something so simple.

Bottega Veneta Must-Have Cosmetics Case!

Fabulous Bottega Veneta Woven Cosmetics Case! This  sophisticated case features gold toned hardware, signature woven leather and a canvas lining. Ever-so chic case to carry your make-up in. You can also use for evening or just running in for a cafe latte when meeting a friend. I don't always love carrying my heavy handbag and often just grab my cosmetics case when I'm meeting  a friend for coffee or lunch. What a great little case to carry and will definitely become a fashion favorite. Click the green link to indulge. Bottega's cosmetics case comes in the fun color Magma (shown above) and the traditional Black and Brown. Bottega Veneta at Saks Fifth AvenueBe sure to check out the rest of the collection!
