Resort2012: Donna Karan

Ms. Karan describes the basis of the Body Forms Resort 2012 Collection as "body pieces" which include: pants, a jumpsuit and a jacket.

The pieces are sharp and sleek, in hues of red, black and white with a little gray thrown in for good measure. Day and cocktail dresses (nipped in waist with a circle skirt) and evening dresses (Grecian without all that pleating), look deceptively simple in construction....one of the many things DK does best.

Carolina Herrera's 2012 resort collection is feminine....yeah, yeah, telling you something you don't already know. It is also full of crisp clean lines, geometric patterns, bubble skirts, florals and a punch of color....
la sigh.

Eyewear At TOMS Shoes

I love a shiny, glittery, sparkly shoe...I am a glitter-holic...there, I've said it....I have just come out of the shiny, glittery, sparkly shoe closet. Last year I bought the TOMS glitter shoe in silver (I love them ever so much) and I just ordered a pair in black. Initially I had planned on writing solely (sorry, couldn't help it) about TOMS glittery, sparkly shoes; then I got the news that this ever-so-cool company that gives away a pair of shoes for every pair that is sold is now selling eyewear. TOMS has partnered with the Seva Foundation (seva means sight in Sanskrit), which is the company's first Sight Giving Partner. The motto behind the eyewear program is "that one person buys and one person is helped." The help would take the form of surgery, glasses or medical treatment. What's not to love about ethical retail?
