Last Minute Valentine’s Day Idea: Stella McCartney’s Limited Edition Stella Necklace

Posted on 12 February 2010 by Angelique

Stella McCartney Debuts A Limited-Edition Solid Perfume Necklace

P254634_hero

Think: Classic STELLA in a modern necklace.

What it is: A fashionable take on fragrance. With the introduction of her limited-edition STELLA necklace, Stella McCartney lets you wear the cult favorite fragrance in more way than one. Tucked away in a round locket stamped with the Stella McCartney logo, the fragrance is always at your fingertips when you wear it around your neck.

The embellished necklace allows for a discreet dab of perfume at any moment-a sensual embodiment of STELLA’s inherent femininity and mystery. Just slyly slide open the charm to apply a hint of STELLA anytime, anywhere-the sensual scent goes wherever you do.

Inspired by a ripe rose on the verge of wilting, STELLA is a study in the contrast of strength and fragility, evoking the traditional femininity and sensuality of the rose with a dynamic, modern spirit. The head notes feature Rose Essence infused with Peony Flower and Mandarin Essence to form a harmony of seduction, delicacy and confidence. An intense heart of Rose Absolute leads to a carnal, sexy base of Amber that embraces the skin.

What it costs:
$49

Where to find it: Sephora and Sephora.com

Designer Spotlight: Stella McCartney Lingerie

Posted on 16 December 2009 by Haya

-1

Last summer, Stella McCartney brought us a colorful collection. And now here’s her spring summer 2010 lingerie line. The collection is more sombre, without losing its iconic romantic and innocent touch dominated by neutral and nude tones.

This collection brings us prints in the form of floral patterns, leaves on crepe silk and tulle, and lavender tones combined with soft pinks and off-whites.

We can appreciate that Stella looked into the past for inspiration, to create a lingerie collection influenced by the twenties and fifties.

I am forever a passionate lover of Stella McCartney designs, and especially her lingerie.

Rocker Inspired Fur Vests

Posted on 01 October 2009 by Angelique

fur_vest

Fur vests are a functional and fun accessory for fall. A fur vest, real or faux, can add a layer of luxurious warmth. This has been one of my ‘uniforms’ for cool weather dressing, and this year I’ll be pairing my faux fur vest with black skinny jeans and my black cashmere Stella McCartney sweaters. There are many shades and styles of fur vest, many inspired by the glam rocker trend. Some are long and can be belted. Others are shorter and zip or buckle up the front. Look for embellished and beaded fur vests as well.

From 3.1 Phillip Lim, this black dyed lamb fur vest (top left, $1,500.00 at NeimanMarcus.com) is a gorgeous splurge. Made in Italy the v-neck vest is embellished with rhinestones and takes this whole fur vest trend to a new level of luxe wintertime style. The asymmetric and artfully crafted knitted lamb fur vest from Karl Donoghue (top right, $1275 at Intermix.com) is knit with individual fluffy curls of lamb fur. The wide folded collar can be left open or folded up and buttoned to keep you warm and cozy during the chilliest of days. Gryphon’s “Rocker Vest” (lower right, $725.00 at Shopbop.com) is made of faux fur, has an open front and is cut to fall above the waist. Accentuated at the neckline with metal beads, this vest makes a nice contrast to an all black outfit or simple black t-shirt. Inside this vest you’ll find striped lining. Reasonably priced at $198, French Connection’s “Fast Big Foot” Faux Fur Vest, from Bloomingales.com gets you the most faux fur for your dollar. Long with an open placket this lined vest looks great worn open or belted. Pair with a simple tee, dark sweater or black leggings and platform booties.

Today’s Couture – London Designer Stella McCartney

Posted on 23 May 2008 by Jacqueline H

Stella McCartney rocks. With everything under her belt, this innovative designer went from local London hype to an international name.

Stella McCartney

The Stella MCartney line has an array of collections. From beauty products, womens fashions, lingerie, handbags, shoes, and accessories. She even has a sports line for international sports icon – Adidas. Her world is full of creativity and blossoms at every corner. But I guess creativity runs in the family – with a father who started the biggest band in history ‘The Beatles’ – Sir Paul McCartney.

Her clothes are fresh, with clean simple designs. Her fabrics are smooth and soft, highlighted with colors that accent the shape of the clothes.
