It's A Wrap With Karolina Zmarlak
Years ago, you wore a scarf or wrap if it was freezing outside. Today a wrap is a must-have staple in any women's wardrobe. Wraps are worn any season and in any type of weather. I wore a long Pucci wrap all summer long. Actually, I was hiding my tummy which wraps are also great for!
We are especially loving Karolina Zmarlak's Black and Grey Crochet Cashmere Wrap Scarf. The length and style make this wrap a fashion favorite this coming season. It almost looks as if it's Mongolian lamb the way it is styled on the model.This wrap features long fringe trim, it's approx 26" width, 94" length and is 100% cashmere. Wraps are so easy to wear...just wrap, toss, twist, fling or style and you're all set to go. Click the green link to indulge! Shop Designer Collections at SSENSE.com

Something new, exciting, and affordable is happening with long-time favorite fashion designer Nicole Miller. Nicole has designed a line of fine jewelry for her Nicole by Nicole Miller line sold exclusively at JC Penney.

The debut collection, and first designer jewelry line to ever be created in a JC Penney store, will include necklaces, pendants, bracelets, rings and earrings. I’m looking forward to checking out Nicole Miller’s signature Celtic knot designs. She’s incorporated them into a few of her pieces and, even more amazing, the diamonds used in these pieces are of the highest quality. You won’t have to pay heavy runway prices either, since the gorgeous goodies will be ranging from $127.99 to $699.99. “I wanted to create a fine jewelry collection that was sophisticated yet effortless and falls somewhere between evening and casual. I love the versatility of the jewelry - it allows you to go anywhere.” - Nicole Miller. As you wait for September to come, since we all know we’re looking forward to ogle it all in-stores, feast your eyes on her stylish sunglasses and buy a pair that will come handy in these last days of summer's soon-to-be- missed sunshine: Nicole Miller Women’s sunglasses in A la Mode, Fortune Cookie, and Nouve au Riche.

LnA's Super Cool Blouse Tee
Guest Blogger thefind.com Eases Into Fall With Silk Printed Trousers
If you're a fearless fashionista with a fierce style vision, you were probably all over summer's hottest ensemble (aside from the long maxidress) - plain tees or tanks paired with loud printed shorts. And while you technically still have a little time (pending the temperature) to rock your silky cut-offs, it's time to look forward to a new spin on the trend that won't have you freezing your tush off. Tapered trousers are also getting the printed treatment - in the form of festive florals, slinky animal prints, and even camo-inspired styles. You may still have a chic pair of solid tapered trousers from last fall and winter, but these 2011-2012 versions are about to blow those more demure pairs of seasons' past out of the water with quirky-yet-sophisticated prints and styles. Tuck in a sleek tee or tank and top with a blazer for a streamlined look, or wear with a crisp button-down shirt for a high-powered, high-fashion office look!

Guest Blogger Thefind.com Loves Celestial Themed Dresses!
Are Star Prints The New Floral?

Despite the print's more spring-like association, florals can be surprisingly versatile - in fact, we've been loving all the fall takes on flowery prints that seem to transcend everything we would have normally thought about the seasonal style. However, we're still hoping to branch out and explore more printed options that don't look totally out of place once fall and winter are truly upon us. Star prints are tragically misrepresented in the trend department, but we think the whole celestial look will totally have its moment as we transition into the colder months. From quirky takes on the cocktail dress to daytime frocks with a hint of night-time romance, star-print dresses serve as a welcome break from the summer's brighter-than-bright tribal prints and neon shorts! Ranging from varied galaxy prints to tiny, uniform prints that can almost be passed off as polka dots (but in a whimsically updated sort of way!), we're so ready to look to the stars for inspiration this season!

Van Cleef & Arpels Introduces Limited Edition "Magic Alhmabra" Collection in Honor of H.S.H. Princess Charlene of Monaco
In homage to the new Princess, the Maison has inaugurated an exclusive space: the “Charlene Salon”, in its newly renovated and redesigned boutique in the heart of Monte Carlo. Van Cleef & Arpels has also created a limited edition of 15 sets of “Princess Charlene Magic Alhambra”.
This collection is a reinterpretation of the iconic Alhambra motif. The set, consisting of a sautoir and dangling earrings, is comprised of alternating and asymmetrical clover motifs of pavé diamonds and turquoise. The design evokes the shores of the Principality and is sold exclusively at the Van Cleef & Arpels Boutique in Monaco. A portion of the benefits from sales of this special collection will go to the associations and foundations endorsed by H.S.H. Princess Charlene. A set will be donated this evening by Van Cleef & Arpels to the gala dinner at the Red Cross Ball held in the famous Salle des Etoiles of the Sporting Club on Monte Carlo.
The Red Cross Ball marks H.S.H. Princess Charlene’s Royal debut following her wedding. For this special evening, she will wear the “Océan,” a unique piece designed for her by Van Cleef & Arpels as a gift from H.R.H. Prince Albert of Monaco for their celebrated nuptials. The “Océan” exalts the timelessness and design that has made Van Cleef & Arpels the chosen jeweler of the Royal set for generations. In keeping with the transformational tradition of much of the Van Cleef & Arpels High Jewelry, the “Océan” converts seamlessly between a stunning necklace and a regal tiara fit for a princess.
This post and photo has been provided to us from Van Cleef & Arpels and has been printed in it's entirity.
