Maggy London Lotsa Lace Trend

You don’t need us to tell you that lace has been a major trend this season. In the past week alone we’ve seen red lace on everyone from Jessica Chastain to Jessica Hart to Selena Gomez.

Maggy London’s red lace dress is an easy way to get the look, at a fraction of the cost – they have even created early access to this exclusive presale link to order the brand’s coveted ladylike red lace dress before it’s offered to the public. http://www.maggylondon.com/invt/gs693mxe

A gorgeous red lace dress. The strapless lining allows the yoke and sleeves to add an alluring aspect. The belted waist enhances the silhouette of this sheath dress. 

This elbow sleeve and tea length style is demure enough to wear to the office, but sexy enough with sheer detailing and a strapless peek-a-boo lining for a night out or special occasion.

Etsy Improves Wildlife Policies

Etsy recently announced that it would no longer allow products to be sold on its site that are made from certain animals, such as those designated as threatened or endangered.

Jeff Flocken, North America Regional Director for IFAW issued the following statement.

Congratulations to Etsy for stepping up to the plate in prohibiting the sale of ivory and all other products made from endangered species.  By reconsidering its wildlife policies, Etsy joins eBay as a leader in saving wildlife on the web.  eBay voluntarily banned all animal ivory from its sites globally in 2008 after the release of the IFAW investigative report, Killing with Keystrokes.  Now other web platforms like Craigslist, Bonanza and Google Shop should follow suit and do the same.  Just last week on these three sites IFAW found ivory, live parrots and tortoises, monkey bone, and even rhino horn, all available for sale.  We hope that these websites will follow the example of Etsy and eBay and move quickly to put an end to the illicit wildlife trade occurring on-line.

About Kiling with Keystrokes:

The rise of the Internet has revolutionized the way we exchange ideas, information and merchandise. This is largely due to the medium’s ability to facilitate communications and new commercial and social connections around the globe. However, as a result, the Internet is also facilitating the illegal trade in wildlife, which is having a devastating effect on animals, ecosystems and the communities that rely on them worldwide, making it one of the major wildlife conservation challenges of our generation.

POLO RED Fragrance from Ralph Lauren

The new POLO RED Fragrance from Ralph Lauren has a fiery edge and provides a sense of daring confidence.

For the man with a drive for adventure, POLO RED captures speed, seduction and adrenaline with its powerful scent.  The exhilarating new fragrance from Ralph Lauren, POLO RED is a fiery mix of spicy red saffron, fresh red grapefruit and deep red wood that ignites the thrill-seeker in every man.

Like so much of what Ralph Lauren designs, POLO RED is inspired by his passion for cars and speed. POLO RED brings an exciting edge to the Ralph Lauren fragrance portfolio.  The new scent brings seduction and a daring confidence, marking a new era for Polo fragrances.

TOP NOTES:  red grapefruit, Italian cedrat, red cranberry
MID NOTES:  red saffron, lavandin, red sage

POLO RED is the ultimate in design, power and distinction, taking inspiration from the Ralph Lauren Car Collection, one of the world's most prestigious collections of exquisite cars.

The thrilling essence of POLO RED is captured in a heart-racing short film directed by Bruce Weber and starring Nacho Figueras.  The action begins as a daring man launches a high-speed chase, his powerful car racing against a fast speedboat.  His pulse is beating as the speed is turned up and the engine forcefully kicks into gear.  The film's song, "Cut Me Some Slack," was recorded by Sound City Players and sets the tone for the thrilling ride.

Tamara Magel Luxury Lifestyle Resort Line

Tamara Magel brings her worldly, eclectic, jet set aesthetic to the fashion world with her chic new luxury lifestyle resort collection.

Luxury interior designer Tamara Magel is bringing her globally eclectic and sophisticated style to the fashion world with her new collection of exotic caftans, day to evening dresses, beach bags, and clutches encompassing a chic bohemian lifestyle. On the heels of successfully opening her New York SoHo and East Hampton showrooms and as a featured designer in HC&G’s Holiday House in Bridge Hampton, Tamara’s passionate love affair with design continues. The obvious evolution was for Tamara to bring her distinctive designs out of the confines of beautiful homes and onto elegant, design-conscious women.

“I am in love with vibrant textiles and global culture, and expanding into fashion allows me to bring my bohemian style to modern and sophisticated women who desire the perfect balance between comfort and beauty,” says Tamara Magel. “By simply changing accessories throughout the day, my clothing can transition from home, to the beach, and even out to a dinner party.”

Tamara’s luxury lifestyle fashion collection builds upon her home collection that includes wallpaper, bedding, and home furnishings, and encompasses a laid-back beach chic vibe, and channels the cultural refinement of a veteran jet setter. Traces of Africa, India, Peru and Morocco are felt throughout the collection, as these are strong places of influence for Tamara. The collection boasts exceptional textiles from across the globe that range from imported European lace tops and Italian silk and cotton wrap dresses, to a rich, laser cut leather dress and accessories such as gorgeous hand-dyed beach bags and suede hand-beaded bags.

Tamara stays true to her exotic design aesthetic and pays homage to her interiors in her lifestyle fashion collection by drawing inspiration directly from her colorful and tribal tie-dye wallpaper in her beach bags and Italian silk and cotton wrap dresses. Each wrap dress can be worn both in the traditional wrap dress fashion or tied in the front, and comes in short and long options. Other notable pieces are the glamorous and girly laser cut tan leather dress, striped white snakeskin clutch, and deep v-neck maxi dresses that are perfect for bringing the Tamara Magel lifestyle woman from day to night. Prices range from $375 to $1,200.

Tamara’s interiors have been featured in many top design publications such as Architectural Digest, ELLE Décor, House Beautiful, the New York Times, and Lonny Magazine. Tamara Magel’s lifestyle fashion collection is available at www.tamaramagel.com and coming soon to fine retailers.
