Earlier in August you’ve got an extensive look at the Nine West 30th Anniversary Spring 2009 Collection which will be releasing starting next month (January 2009). If you thought that was their full collection for the season, think again. Back in October I went to check out their collaboration with New Balance along with the Nine West Constellations Spring/Summer 2009 Collection at the New Museum. The collection consists of mostly neutral colors and pop colors like black, brown, tan, blue, pink and orange. Lots of fab sandals with ankle cuffs (love all of them), gladiator sandals, wooden heels and wedges, plaids, beads, studs, braids and sequins are big in their collection as well. I love love the sandal with ankle cuffs (pictured), they’re really cute in person! Can’t wait till they release, stay tuned for release dates!

Your thoughts on the collection? Are you liking any shoes?

We’ve all got a lil excited when we saw the first look of the Thakoon for Target collection last month. The wait is over, now here’s a look at the full collection of women’s swimwear and apparel which is slated to release on December 28, 2008 through the month of January 2009 at Target stores and target.com/go. Thanks to reader Sheba for the tip.

“Thakoon for Target provides a contemporary take on classic resort must-haves for the GO International program with stunning graphic prints and a colorful palette. A blue and white shibori print and yellow and green large floral pattern update basic tees and tunics, providing a younger vibe for the breezy season. A signature diagonal stripe in blue and green is found throughout the collection and adorns a belted, blousy A-line dress, giving a refreshing edge to a relaxed silhouette. A short-sleeve hip-length cardigan in gray makes it easy to pull off the layered look; a stylish topper over a shibori print tee and black cropped pants. Swimwear in bright hues looks chic worn with a coordinating tunic in a matching print; a true statement poolside. Ranging in price from $16.99 - $44.99, the line includes a variety of seasonal staples including flutter sleeve tees, ruffled tanks and belted shirtdresses. Stand-out pieces include a floral print canvas coat, a shibori print ¾-sleeve dress, floral print shorts and a striped pleated dress, with prints that give a nod to Panichgul’s Eastern heritage.”

The collection is fun and young, love the prints and colors on the basic tees, tunics, skirts and dresses- I especially like the floral print canvas coat (pictured). I anticipate the release, are you feelin’ the range? Which pieces do you like?

Mama has just released her Fall ‘08 collection entitled, “Mi Vida Loca.”  The collection is inspired by classic, west coast Americana style, “Mi Vida Loca” takes us from the Zoot Suit Riots of the 1940’s, to the low rider culture of today. Picture sultry nights and getting the girls together in the Bomba to go cruising while listening to your favorite oldies. As Mama says, “There’s something in this collection for everyone: the tomboy, the heart-breaker, the school girl and the dreamer.” The range includes t-shirts, fleece tops and jackets, flannel shirts, overalls, cashmere sweaters, outerwear and jewelry and can be found at fine street wear boutiques and online.
