  1 Navy Gowns We added some beautiful blue pieces last week, and there's plenty more to choose from. We think black and blue and beautiful!   2 Black Swan It may have given us nightmares, but its definitely on our must-see list!   3 Peels A new restaurant in the East Village by the same owners as Freemans.  The décor is so cute you feel like you’re in a Ralph Lauren ad…   4 Touch Screen Gloves Because you need your iPod, even in the cold.   5 Green Gems Great new jewels from Lee Angel.    6 "Fancy Shakes" at Momofuku AKA alcoholic milkshakes! Drink responsibly.    7 The Sing-Off After glee, Jenn's convinced that tv programming execs are producing TV especially for her:) A full a capella show - ah-maz-ing!   8 Alvin Ailey The holiday season doesn't start until you've seen a show!   9 Diptyque Candles Another great gift option.   10 Rolf's The unassuming German restaurant that makes you feel like you're in a Christmas tree.   Read More

All hail Badgley Mischka, the kings of glitz and glam.  They’ve built their brand on show-stopping gowns that scream old Hollywood elegance.  For the past 22 years, business and life partners, Mark Badgley and James Mischka have worked to expand their empire to include fragrance, sunglasses and some of the most decadent jewelry you can find.  I had the pleasure of sitting down with them in their gorgeous Manhattan showroom to go behind the scenes with one of fashion’s most fabulous duos!      What inspired your Spring 2011 collections? We kind of went back to when we first started Badgley Mischka 22 years ago and were inspired by this film called White Mischief from 1988.  Very stylish movie, so beautiful. It’s about a bunch of English ex-pats living in South Africa.  The characters were very stylish and decadent.  Morning, day and night they wore evening clothes.  So we merged that with the feeling of the 70s which is such an important trend this season.  And that was the vibe for spring!  more...   Read More

There will be a third FNO scheduled on Thursday, September 8, 2011. We can’t wait to see what Matthew Williamson, Helmut Lang, Catherine Malandrino and more will have in store for us! What do you think they should do? [The Cut]     Judith Leiber Fragrance Celebrity crystal clutches are the favorite “3 C’s” at RTR but that’s not all the label wants to make us swoon over. We caught wind that there is a Judith Leiber fragrance in the works and (literally) jumped for joy. Do you think it will come in a celebrity worthy crystal perfume bottle? [WWD]         New Designer for Escada? Last year Megha Mittal acquired Escada, one of the coveted brands in the RTR family. So far, she’s done wonders with the label and we are even most excited for Escada’s upcoming collaboration with London designer Jonathan Saunders.

As a member of RTR you have access to the most amazing dresses and accessories, but some things you just need to own. Look no further! We sat down with our stylists, raided their closets and asked for their secrets and now offer the best fashion fixes to you just in time for the holidays. Here’s your chance to keep a piece of the runway! Are we missing anything? Tell us in the comments.  –Ashelyn P.S. These also make amazing gifts!!   Best. Underwear. Ever. These magic sized Hanky Panky low rise thongs are not only cute and comfortable, but completely seamless! You can’t see them through your dress and take it from us- you can’t even feel them!   Lifesaver in Your Wallet Hollywood Fashion Tape is one of the best ideas in fashion. It will keep your strapless dress up, fix an unraveling hem, keep a strap from falling and keep a cami in place. We recommend that you keep it in your wallet in case you are having a fashion emergency. At $9 you can’t afford not to have it!   Slim Slimma Want to know how the stars get that red carpet ready? Spanx under every dress! These body slimmers can be worn under anything and everything and stretch for maximum comfort. No need to hold your breath while posing!   Spanx + Tights It’s a fact. Everyone needs solid black tights. Combining a fab pair of black tights with the comfort and slimming effect of Spanx is genius. Feel free to check out the other Spanx tights we have to offer- you can never have too many!     Read More
