Get wishing upon a star ladies because we’ve found the ultimate credit card burning Christmas presents.
We don’t know why we’re doing this to you, and to ourselves for that matter, but we couldn’t resist telling you about the Miu Miu range available at Net-A-Porter.
If you’re other half has just won the lottery or just feeling generous then there’s a huge range of lovelies to choose from including a gorge crystal necklace for £350 and shearling gloves for around the same price mark.
If you’ve been a super good girl then perhaps Santa may dig deep and buy you that mini shearling bag – £750 – or a stunning embellished cut out dress which, ahem, costs more than a small mortgage.
See the gallery below for our wish list.
Nothing can take away from the sad news that’s broken over the past 24 hours but we know we have to soldier on, and what better way to start than with Christian Louboutin’s new Barbie.
The designer has created a second limited edition doll, which has been inspired by spring summer ’10′s military trends.
Barbie showcases her fashion flair in a khaki tunic dress and the lucky girl even has her own miniature version of Mr Louboutin’s much coveted knee-high fringed boots, plus three additional miniature pairs of signature red-soled shoes.
Dolly Forever Barbie will be available from Net-A-Porter from 3 March.
Just when we thought things couldn’t get any worse for Lindsay’s fashion career, another blinding blow comes her way.
It’s bad enough being described as “sucking the soul” out of a fashion label by the founder, but now Neiman Marcus and Net-A-Porter have dropped Ungaro for spring 2010 (that’s Lindsay’s collection if you’ve been in a fashion slumber for the past few months).
We would advise Ms Lohan to go back to the acting day job but considering her recent roles have been as successful as her fashion debut we fear this may only make things worse.
Perhaps a career away from the limelight might be the best option Lindsay.
I don’t know about you, but I can’t remember what life was like without my iPhone, it keeps me amused on the bus, in waiting rooms and at work. In fact, if I’m honest I could probably wile away my day on it.
Last week, I was talking to the lovely people at Apple, who bought us the Net a Porter app, and they told me they had come up with even more fashion bits to keep us up to date with the latest news.
You can browse through the full D&G Collection for winter 2010 featuring male and female fashion as well as a wide range of accessories. You can get the latest news and looks and if you can’t wait, get directions to your nearest store.
You can also enter the world of Chanel with inspirational photos from its latest runway show in Venice and let Donna Karan talk you through her Collection, her inspirations, her passions. There are even photos from her recent holiday to Africa with her very own app which she describes as “the modern evolution of the time I spend with my customers in the dressing room.”
Each app can be found in the Lifestyle section of Apple Apps, and the best thing about them is that they are free. Well that gives us more money to spend on the clothes doesn’t it?
Shopping via your mobile is about to get a whole lot more exciting thanks to the new Net-a-Porter iPhone application. Launched in London yesterday, NET-APP allows you to browse and buy clothing, shoes, handbags and accessories straight from your iPhone or iPod.
It is updated twice a week with the latest products, you can also read the weekly magazine, email friends and add favourite items to a wish list. It is free and available now to download from www.itunes.com/appstore. As if I needed another reason to shop? See a demo above.
I have very important news for all you recessionistas out there… the Net-a-Porter mid-year sale is still on, but not for much longer. For our US readers only, you can score up to 50% off on designer labels such as Chloé, Matthew Williamson, Fendi, Halston, Miu Miu, Christian Louboutin and many more. You really don’t want to miss out – so grab yourself a bargain now while you still can.
The Brit designers have created six gorgeous dresses especially for the online retailer, available in metallic black, blue, and fuchsia.
Here is a preview of one of those frocks (pictured right), called the Power Dress which is nipped in at the waist and puffs out into a tulip skirt – love it.
There is also the Love Dress, a pencil skirt style, and the Club Dress, a cape-like design.
The collection hits the online shop tomorrow – so keep Net-a-porter bookmarked.
The Halston runway items available on Net-a-Porter after the much-hyped show sold out in just 45 minutes after going live. It seems that eager customers couldn’t be deterred from getting their hands on two key dresses, despite what many, including our UK blogging buddies at Catwalk Queen, believed to be a rather lacklustre comeback collection. Around 25,000 shoppers logged onto the website to view the collection and other exclusive tidbits from the show. CQ bets some of those are headed for Ebay.
Roksanda Ilincic’s first capsule cruise collection is headed for high sailing if this strapless mini dress, $1,495, is any indication. The Serbian was recently a featured designer on Net-a-Porter.com, and you know if she’s got this high-end e-tailer on her side her fashions will soon be in the hautest closets.
We like the dress for its clean but interesting lines, and the way it manages to be both classic and modern without being boring or too predictable.
Net-a-Porter has a sale going on with up to 60% off, which actually makes some of their designer duds affordable to those of us who can’t shop the runway. Plus, their new $12 ground shipping makes it easier, too. Whenever we hear of a Net-a-Porter sale, or pretty much any sale really, the first place we look is at the shoes. So here’s our top five picks from the sale.
We’ve been known to already have the holiday music station playing in our car, so we’re irresistibly drawn to anything that plays into our festive mood like these cherry red Alexander McQueen round-toe pumps. A hidden platform and seam down the back give these an old Hollywood feel. The $540 shoes are on sale for $324.
