After Proenza Schouler for J Brand, the next designer collaboration for the denim company is a tough act to follow. However, I think choosing Christopher Kane couldn’t be a more perfect match. After killing it the last couple seasons with neon laser cut looks for Spring ’11 and an aqua-filled Fall ’11, there’s no doubt in my mind this J Brand collab will be a huge success.
The collection will be available on Net-a-Porter this month. Here’s a peak at Christopher Kane for J Brand.
I just purchased my November order for JewelMint and I’m so excited to get my Midas ring! I’ve been looking for a new gold ring and this will be the perfect addition to my jewelry collection.

One of the best things to happen to the Chicago fashion scene, LaundryMagazine is starting a new venture today. And that venture is Dotshop!
I’ve always loved how LaundryMagazine really embraces Chicago fashion, and now they’re taking it one step further. Dotshop is a new online boutique featuring the work of emerging designers from Chicago. This new concept will feature 3 limited-edition pieces each month, designed for Dotshop or chosen from a designer’s collection. In addition to the e-commerce site, Dotshop will include profiles with each designer and editorial photo shoot displaying the items available for sale. Plus, a portion of the proceeds from each Dotshop sale will support LaundryMagazine’s New Designer scholarship fund!
This is really going to take Chicago fashion and online shopping to another level…and I can’t wait! Will you be shopping Dotshop today? Shop here www.laundrymagazine.com/dotshop
