Lauren Conrad Collection, Couture in the City Fashion Blog

LC in The Lauren Conrad Collection

It used to be that only washed up Hollywood icons had their own clothing line, but lately everyone from Sarah Jessica Parker to Amanda Bynes is fronting their own label. Lauren Conrad is no exception.

LC’s line, called the Lauren Conrad Collection, is set to debut on September 15, 2007, and quite frankly, it’s not half bad. It has LC written all over the whole collection which, so far, seems to be comprised of sassy so-Cal satin frocks. HOT.

Honestly, I’m surprised that a newcomer like Conrad has a collection already…think about it, did anyone know who she was two years ago? No. Who knows, I’m still holding out for the America Ferrera collection for us plus sized girls…woot!

What do you think…with the Lauren Conrad Collection be fab, or a flop?

Gadgit Fashionista - RAZR2 is Season’s Sharp New Accessory, Couture in the City Fashion Blog

Posted on 28 August 2007 by Angelique

 front-shot.jpgside-slim-open.jpg

When it comes to looking sharper this Fall, the RAZR2 has is it all with its sleeker and stronger facade and cutting-edge features that have redefined the mobile phone into a must-have fashion accessory. The San Francisco Chronicle recently wrote, “…the phone itself has got to be one of the most fashionable devices out there, with its solid construction and luxury feel.”

The RAZR2 boasts an ultra-thin, sharper profile, having lost 2 millimeters in its makeover from the original RAZR. It flaunts a smooth and sophisticated seamless casing as well as greatly enhanced dual screens that give the device a ‘largest-in-its-class’ external display. Don’t worry about digging for it in your oversized handbag — the chemically hardened glass display is more scratch-resistant. And if you happen to drop it while waiting in line for your morning latte, don’t worry about the multi-tasker behind you accidentally stepping on your new device — its durable stainless steel frame can support up to 180 lbs!

With the phone shut, you can still do it all from watching TV to playing music and viewing album art; plus on some models you can even respond to text messages. You’ll always know what buttons you are pushing with Motorola’s breakthrough “haptics” technology, which provides vibrating feedback in response to your fingertips. That’s literally something to buzz about!

RAZR2’s patented CrystalTalk™ technology makes calls with friends or family clearer than ever. Whether you are weaving through the crowded racks at H&M or hailing a cab in the streets of NYC, a conversation will not be missed. This feature automatically accounts for background noise and adjusts audio to match the ambient volume, ensuring clear calls even in noisy environments.

The fashion conscious will have a tough decision to make with so many gorgeous colors. Start debating now whether you’ll look best with a Bordeaux-like Mahogany V9 from AT&T, a rich deep brown Espresso V9m from Verizon Wireless, or a steely Dark Pearl Grey V9m from Sprint or Alltel. They’re on sale beginning September 4th (and online at Sprint today). There’s even a deep ink Dark Navy color coming soon that is sure to look fine with your latest find.

For more imformation visit Motorola’s website.

Elle Macpherson Intimates, Couture in the City Fashion Blog

Elle Macpherson Sheer Ribbons Hipster, $26

Elle Macpherson has taken a new spin on intimates with a line so pretty, they can hardly be kept just for intimate moments. In a day and age where celebs are popping out of their dresses left and right sans undies, us regular fashionista’s know the value of proper support and lovely lace. So I say, if you’re going to be flashing your naughties, at least don some pretty panties.

Like many other regular fashionistas, I have Agent Provocateur tastes and a Target budget. Which isn’t to say that I don’t splurge now and then when a Marc Jacobs dress is calling my name. However, with Elle Macpherson intimates, you don’t have to splurge to get the same quality and style.

I also love their sexy nursing bra styles (as a new mom, I REALLY appreciate this one) marrying function and fashion seamlessly.

Eva, J-Lo, Katie-Get the Look! Couture in the City Fashion Blog

Posted on 23 August 2007 by Angelique

A few favorites in National’s Fall Fashions.

celebs1.jpg

It might be tough being famous - but it’s never been easier to look famous! Let the stars have their tabloids and paparazzi, you’ll be the one making headlines for your style, not your scandal.

Hollywood favorites Katie Holmes, Jennifer Lopez and Eva Longoria have all been making the news and getting their pictures snapped around town and it’s no secret why - they always look great. Katie is always on the go and looking glamorous, especially in her J Brand Straight Leg Jeans - perfect for keeping up with Tom and Suri. Eva, often in bold and bright colors, has found her match with T-Bags. Jennifer, forever a trendsetter, wears a look we love - the Seven for All Mankind Ginger High Rise Wide Leg.

All these looks, and many others from Hollywood’s favorite brands like Anlo, Ella Moss, Splendid, Juicy Couture and Sky are all available at NJC!
