MARIE SAINT PIERRE
1 recommendation
"Marie Saint-Pierre offers an amazing balance between a classic and an edgy look. The contrast of materials such as leather, knits, latex and silk makes her collections extremely appealing. I will visit the boutique and see if I can get my hands on a few must-have items like the wet look latex leggings and a white/cream dress or squirt."

Tonight :Franz Ferdinand
3 recommendations
"I've never been a glowing fan of Franz Ferdinand. I like, but just whatever. However, I have a floating policy to listen albums that get a 7 plus on pitchfork. This one pulled in at a 7.3. I haven't bought it yet, but I'm listening to some track on MySpace right now and I'm pleasantly grooving to them."
Finally We Are No One: Múm
1 recommendation
"By far one of the best bands, and records, to come out of Iceland. More straight-up ambient and less orchestral than their countrymen Sigur Ros, this is an excellent CD. (FYI: the band's name is pronounced "moom")"
Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do: Sigur Rós
1 recommendation
"This is the music that accompanied Sigur Ros's collaboration with The Merce Cunningham Dance Company at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, which I was lucky enough to have seen in person. Experimental, melodic, organic, avant-garde. Just plain interesting. Although it's better with the modern dance to go with it, still a great standalone recording."

Black and White Tiered Gown by Jovani
3 recommendations
"To avoid being confused for a bride, ensure that your white outfit has touches of another color - like black. Rachel Zoe's black and white evening gown is stunning. A similar look can be achieved with Jovani's tiered bubble gown."

POKA HAUNTUS DRESS
1 recommendation
"Very unique and art inspired kneelength dress that has a sheer overlay consisting of small,pastel colored bows made of soft yarn. The underlayer is 100% silk and has a abstract tie dye motif. Very deep V in the back and runched hem that stops mid thigh. Very sexy and a real show stopper, this dress boasts a very fun layer of tulle and netting that makes for a dramatic entrance and exit! Hand paint..."
Stella McCartney Short Sculpted Wedge Boots
2 recommendations
"I do not care if they are Stella McCartney, these boots are BAD. Totally hideous and not particularly easy to walk in. Soft faux leather with elasticized strips at the side to pull them on. The curvaceous platform heels, which curve in at the back and are accented with a wide gunmetal strip and the heels/platforms are brown wood. Woof."

Bebe Alexandra Multi-Strap Peep Toe Pump
1 recommendation
""There’s something very prim and very provocative about these peep-toe platform heels from Bebe. We think they look like something a Victorian schoolmarm-turned-imperial-mistress would wear (this is a compliment). Show off their buttoned-up style and wear them with dove gray tights and a mid-length full skirt.""

SteveMadden - SLASSSH
3 recommendations
"Sometimes I loathe Steve Madden, but these don't bother me so much. These are great for that person who is not sure maybe how to embrace the new trend of shoe-booties, or who doesn't like all the studs, buckles etc. Still right on trend with the high, sculpted heel and open toe. will look great with your skinny jeans and flowy frocks alike."
Pour La Victoire Sacha Gladiator Bootie
3 recommendations
"Just the right amount of studs and buckles to make this shoe drool worthy and perfect for this season's tough girl trend. Looks chic without being threatening. The four inch heel could be a tad bit taller, but overall, simply a great shoe-bootie!"
