Jimmy Choo

Just hearing the Jimmy Choo is enough to get any fashionista excited. These high-quality, high-fashion shoes have been popular since their debute in Vogue magazine in 1988. Originally founded and designed by Jimmy Choo of Malaysia, now a days Choo has retired from designing but his namesake still lives on. The design still goes by his name but is designed in Italy now. However, Jimmy Choo shoes and handbags are still one of the most respected and popular designs today. 

Valentino

Valentino Garavani is a Italian born designer who has designed clothes for women since 1960. He has designed many celebrities wedding dresses-from Jackie Onassis to J. Lo. His Spring 2010 collection at New York fashion week was composed of flowy short dresses in neutral colors. It was very different from the typical pastel florals that you see for a lot of spring collections.

Olsenboye

So it looks like the infamous Olsen twins will be back in the news soon enough! They are expected to launch a new line of junior's clothing for JC Penney this spring. The collection will be called Olsenboye. Hopefully this collection will be targeted to an older, less pre-teen crowd than their previous products they have released. It will be interesting to see what the Olsen twins are up to!

This season saddle boots are very popular. These boots aren't just for riding horses anymore! Pair them with your favorite skinny jeans and you have a very versatile and fashion forward outfit. You can find these boots are almost any department store or shoe store and they vary in price range. Dillard's has a variety of boots to choose from and they have reasonable prices too!

Vera Wang

I attended my cousin's wedding tonight so wedding dresses are on my mind! My cousin's gown was very similar to the designs of famous designer Vera Wang. I adore Vera Wang's dresses! From traditional to modern, her designs vary in style and she seems to have something for every type of bride. Her Fall 2009 collection has a very ethereal and fairy tale quality to it. Perfect for any girl wanting to feel like a princess on her wedding day!

So the next time you're in the mood to shop somewhere new, go see what your local Target has to offer!

Welcome to the Fashion World, LC

Lauren Conrad, more commonly known as LC from the hit reality television series "The Hills," has launched a line of women's clothes exclusively for Kohl's department store. The line is very pretty basic yet has very wearable pieces for the average working woman. It features several loose fitting sweaters and a few cute casual dresses. Conrad has also designed styles of skinny jeans so complement her other designs. I think that LC's designs will be a hit with the majority of  Kohl's clients. I hope that her new line is a success and that she will continue to grow as a designer.
