Anna Sui Spring Show 2008

Soon all recessionistas and frugalistas will be able to enjoy the bohemian designs of the fabulous Anna Sui! The folksy artist will be the second designer of Target’s Designer Collaborations series, following in the footsteps of Alexander McQueen.

The Detroit native, whose designs were launched in 1991 with the encouragement of her friends, models Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista, will draw her inspiration for the collection from the popular TV show Gossip Girl. The designer was attracted to working with Target because of their new approach with designer partnerships, and was excited that she was able to choose her muse for her line. Mark your calendars for Sept. 13 when the collection launches. I have high hopes that this line will be fun!

Nautical-themed necklaces are showing up on fashionistas everywhere this spring. Isla Fisher was one of the first to show off the charming anchor pendant necklace during a memorable dance sequence in her film, Confessions of a Shopaholic. Then our favorite city gal, Leighton Meester’s Blair Waldorf wore a gorgeous anchor necklace with a strand of pearls to add some drama to an afternoon brunch with her fabulous Gossip Girl crowd. The anchor necklace makes a bold statement, so it is best worn with a neutral color, such as white or beige. To emulate the fashion trend, I have found affordable options of the fab pendant. Anchors away!

Leighton Meester for new Reebok line

Our fashion gals from Gossip Girl finally return to TV tonight. Over a month has passed since we have last seen our beloved Blair, Serena, Chuck or Dan. Even though there haven’t been any new episodes, the Upper Eastsiders have been keeping busy working on their other projects. Blake Lively has been promoting her new film, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, where she plays the title character in her teen years. My other fashionista to watch, Leighton Meester has traded her Christian Louboutins for Reebok high-tops, as seen in the ad above. The actress partnered with Reebok for their new footwear collection, Fly Generation, which features fashion forward styles in bold colors and a sporty silhouette for the urban girl. The city gal shows off the new retro Top Down sneaker, which is priced at $60, and available at Lady Foot Locker Locations this spring. I love the casual and sassy look of high-tops with a cute skirt, don’t you?
