For all of us who love designer clothing, WearTodayGoneTomorrow.com is a dream come true. This site is for fashionistas on a budget, offering shoppers the chance to rent dresses, tops, jackets and skirts for 90% off the retail price, plus $9.95 for shipping and a $10 dry cleaning fee. You get to keep the garment for a week and then mail it back. You have to register with the website to access what they have to offer, but it's free. This is great for when you have a big event and have to look fabulous but don't have alot of money to spend. They have tons of designers, including Valentino, Tory Burch, Stella McCartney, Prada, Miu Miu, Moschino, Nanette Lepore, Dolce & Gabanna, and lots more! They just launched the website, so the selection is somewhat limited, but hopefully they will grow it with time.

Here are a few pieces they offer:

Of the three girls who wore Louis Vuitton at the Met for the Costume Institute Gala 2009, Kerry Washington' outfit looked the best. She chose Look 1 from Louis Vuittons Fall / Winter 2009/2010 show and altered it a bit so that her boobs were covered. As a result, she looked wonderful. Not too costume-y.

Leighton Meester wore Look 35 from the Louis Vuitton Fall / Winter 2009 - 2010 collection. I like the dress, but  the leggings were a bit much. However her hair and make up were impeccable. 

And here's Madonna. Horrible. She looks fantastic for her age, but no 50+ should dress like this. Thigh high boots, NO! Super short dress, NO! Costume-y hat, NO!

The latest Louis Vuitton jewelry to be pre-released is their necklaces. Personally, I'm not a fan of luxury brand jewelry, because the metal and stones are usually cheap and you are only paying for the label. These necklaces are a bit bulky, but very interesting looking. They are pert of the Fall 2009 collection. I will have to see them on in person to know if I like the overall look.

The must haves for this Spring if you want to stay stylish. First we like big, bright earrings. This accessory looks best with upswept hair, like a ponytail or bun. The ones pictured are a great example, and you can find colorful, beaded earrings almost anywhere.

Another spring trend is acid wash jeans, but if your like me and can't stand acid wash, distressed jeans will work, as well.

The jumpsuit is in style full force. Get one.

The bondage or Bandaid dress. They are super figure flattering and act almost like a spankx dress.

The platform shoe is the final Spring must have trend. This is great for those of us who could use a little extra height.

The eighties are making a comeback on the Fall runway collections, and some aren't so good. Like the novelty sweater. But this season, it's feline animals, like lions and cats that are adorning sweaters and dresses. Those who are leading this trend are designers like Eley Kishimoto, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Paul & Joe, Zero + Maria Cornejo and even Miuccia Prada got into the act at Miu Miu. Are you ready for this? Not me.

While I think the Fall 2009 trend of jeweled stocking looks pretty, I'm not sure they would be very comfortable. I think they would be itchy at best. At the Fall 2009 runway shows, there were jeweled stocking from every designer from Dior to Doo Ri. Hopefully these genius designers figured out a way to make these beautiful stockings comfortable.

The Outnet online outlet store has arrived! It has fabulous brands, from Chloe and Roberto Cavalli to my beloved Marc Jacobs. They essentially sell items from the previous season that didn't sell in stores, so they get them and sell them at discounted rates. Outnet is something like BlueFly, but the selection is purely luxury brands and the styles are last season only, not from years back.

Here are a few pieces offered at this fantastic store. These Miu Miu pailette pumps are 40% for $390.

Michael Kors Zebra Print kaftan, 60% off for $368.

Miu Miu Nappa patch leather bag, 50% off for $722

Vera Wang Asymmetric Lurex top, 50% off for $725.

This Spring, pink and grey were added to the Louis Vuitton Farandole jewelry collection. These chunky resin bangles with LV logos and Monogram flower motifs in colored resin and brass provides the finishing touch to a stylish look. Now, each Farandole piece now has five colors: Khaki, Ivory, Beige, Pink, and Grey. Sold exclusively at Louis Vuitton stores worldwide. Prices are as follows:

• Farandole Bracelet - $420

Would you pay the big bucks for plastic jewelry?

 

Coordinated with Louis Vuitton's Monogram Vernis leather goods, the Random Collection is a brightly colored set of jewelry that would bring a touch of summer color to any look. The collection consists of a bracelet and hairclip, both made from resin and features gold-finished brass studs. Each piece comes in two colors, Orange and Pink. They're available at Louis Vuitton for:

• Random Bracelet - $305
• Random Hairclip - $240

The trends for accessories this Spring 2009 is au natural. We will see a lot of natural materials like wood, stone and shell, and organic gemstones, like amber. This may be a reaction to the recession, using less expensive, more 'down to earth' materials.

I came across this super cool dress at Browns. It's Beatrice Boyle for Browns Focus and it's a simple white cotton mini dress with a unique and eye catching image. With this dress for Browns Focus, Beatrice Boyle shows her trademark distorted images of flawless models and glossy adveritising campaigns. Only $87 at Browns fashion.
