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.

Adidas is on a roll in the fashion world lately. First with its Adidas by Stella McCartney line with the golf collection to debut this spring, then teaming up with Y-3, and now signing a four-year deal with Diesel to create Adidas Originals Denim by Diesel. The jeans line will include two men’s and women’s styles and will only be available at Adidas Originals stores, which has many stores across the globe. For women, the first style will be more of a bootcut design with a slightly higher waistline available in lighter and darker washes. The second style will be black denim with a chicer look. The jeans will retail around $237 for women and $311 for men. Look for the ad campaign to launch in February.

Long known to animal lovers looking for stylish alternatives to leather bags, LeSportsac seems like the perfect pairing for Stella McCartney’s new eco-friendly line for LeSportsac. The fun and funky designs, like the one from their classic collection at left, are just waiting to be infused with some high fashion.

We’ve languished over the fact that we rarely have anywhere resorty to go that would require any sort of resort wardrobe, but now we’re getting over it and making the best. We’ve chosen the top 10 resort pieces to wear right where you live – to work, to parties, out on the town. We’ve even found some pieces that will help you keep cozy in colder climes. I’m sure somewhere a doyenne on the upper east side is rolling her eyes that we would concieve wearing resort fashions anywhere other than Biarritz, but so be it.
We love this Prada bag for anywhere any time of year. The leather tote, available at select Saks Fifth Avenue stores, could double as a carry on if you like to look chic in-flight or on the road, and has just enough structure to pull off at the office. We adore the green, but if we were going to spend $1,495, we’d want it in black.

After most of spring’s fashion trends were covered in New York, London, Milan, and Paris, L.A. Fashion Week set itself apart by highlighting the environmental sustainability of its designs. Model and green activist Angela Lindvall, seen here with Lauren Bush at the ecoStyle press launch during L.A. Fashion Week, is helping to promote the new ecoStyle initiative. Fashions made of organic cotton, hemp, bamboo and other sustainable materials are increasingly in demand, and the industry is starting to listen to the consumer. The ecoStyle initiative will recognize some designers answering the call for green at their Nov. 22 awards with prizes for innovations in industrial design, architecture, fashion. Nominees include Stella McCartney and Jurlique,

At Paris Fashion Week, Stella McCartney showed her spring/summer collection. Full of easygoing flowing dresses in wildflower prints inspired by the ’70s, the models looked like the cast of the musical “Hair.” Her trademark jumpsuits also made an appearance, as well as pajama- and nightgown-inspired garments. The looks would be equally appropriate for an afternoon in the park or a Sunday lounging around in bed. The look above, worn by model Jessica Stam, is the epitome of the perfect spring frock.

Karl Lagerfeld set the scene amidst a disco catwalk and full-out ’80s inspiration. He created a new spin on the slim silhouette with touches draped black chiffon draped over curve-hugging minidresses. According to Laura from Catwalk Queen, the collection was very wearable, but a bit monochromatic at the same time. Follow the link to her post for the full scoop and more pics from the show. Stella McCartney’s show on the other hand was filled with pretty feminine styles in retro floral patterns. This beautiful spring ’08 collection was presented against a botanical backdrop created by French botanist, Patrick Blanc. For more on this show, visit www.CatwalkQueen.tv.
