Everyone that has followed me at all knows I’m not a big print girl.  Occasionally, I’ll get excited about a great collection of Prints, usually novelty, that I become obsessed with!  Not enough to actually wear them usually, but to follow all season long and now, pin on my Pinterest board, just the same.  Last year it was the fruit prints….Prada’s banana prints that everyone from Anna Wintour to the Red Carpet gals took turns wearing or Stella McCartney and her Citrus prints that appeared in what seemed like orchard quantities in the stores of NYC.  Maybe my obsession is really with food, after all I am Italian, because this year I am crazy for the Dolce & Gabbana Veggie Prints straight from their Mama’s kitchens and all about Italy!

They are just fun…delicious fun! There are the Red Pepper and the Red Tomato prints, and the Eggplant, Red Onion and Zucchini prints, all making bold statements that you have to love. These prints  are available in everything from swim suits, sportswear and dresses, to handbags and scarves.  I even think I would wear them….what would be hauter this season than red pepper printed skinny fancy pants….that’s at least three trends in one garment, right?

Fun handbags and scarfs are also available on Net-a-porter.com.  Dolce & Gabbana are definitely doing prints this season especially made for me…..there is also a peonie print (my second favorite flower next to gardenias)  and a fresh take on animal, both available at www.dolcegabbana.com. Check it out to see it all.

If you enjoy these as much as I do, I recommend that you buy yourself A Piece. They are available for purchase at NeimanMarcus.com and in-store, BergdorfGoodman.com and Net-a-Porter.com.

Enjoy my latest obsessions…….

What is Fashion’s Night Out? It originated three years ago by Anna Wintour, Editor in Chief of Vogue Magazine as its own “fashion and shopping stimulus package” to celebrate fashion, restore consumer confidence, and boost the industry’s economy during those recessionary days when many customers were avoiding retail stores in an effort to cut back.  Anna’s idea was to celebrate Fashion as a business that brings much joy to all of us, fulfills many of our daily needs, but is most importantly also a major industry in the world that employs a lot of people with many of the same basic needs as its customers. They also needed their fair shake of support or stimulus from those of us that just can’t live without it! Read the rest of this entry »

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011 by Roz Pactor

This breaking news, which was first reported by the NY Post, and was picked up by Fashionista and is in this morning’s Women’s Wear Daily (subscription required to read the full article) is a big deal.  Aerin Lauder, who is SVP and Creative Director at her family’s company Estée Lauder,  and has been thought to be in line for the top job for years, has  decided to strike out on her own with a lifestyle brand called Aerin, which will be in stores Spring of 2012.  The line will include accessories, home and beauty, and has the backing of Anna Wintour and Jeff Zucker, the former head of NBC. She is already being compared favorably to Tory Burch.  Definitely something to watch for…
