Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Sales, Men, Women, Accessories, Dresses, Footwear,
Shortly following the over-the-knee boots from the Jimmy Choo for H&M collection, two more pictures from the line are featured in British Harper’s Bazaar‘s October issue.
The one-shoulder tunic dress goes for $247, and the strappy sandals run around $132. For Jimmy Choo, that’s still a steal.
Due in stores November 14, the entire collection will feature both men’s and women’s shoes, bags, and accessories.

Manolo Blahnik Gets Sick Over Sex and the City
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Sales, Women, Footwear,
Shoe designer Manolo Blahnik is in a love-hate relationship with Sex and the City.
“If people talk to me about Sex and the City, I get sick…It’s sweet but it becomes too much and I don’t feel comfortable. I have never wanted to be a celebrity designer.”
Although he gripes about the show that made his name synonymous with expensive, fashionable, well-made shoes, the British designer admits that it does help keep the line in business.
“Well, we had a very good year last year, thanks to those stupid satin shoes [worn by Sarah Jessica Parker in the movie]. That shoe saved our company.”
Talk about being grateful.

The unexpected death of DJ AM (a.k.a. Adam Goldstein) has left several projects in limbo.
In addition to working with MTV on Gone Too Far, a reality series about addiction, the disc jockey was also collaborating with Nike about a line bearing his logo.
The shoemaker, like the cable channel, is now having to reassess its plans. A company rep claims they plan to consult with Goldstein’s family about how to move forward with the limited-edition Nike Dunks.
Adam, who was once engaged to the fashionable Nicole Richie, reportedly owned over 700 pairs of the brand’s shoes.

Lookbook: Christopher Kane for Topshop
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Sales, Women, Bottoms, Dresses, Footwear, Tops,
Christopher Kane’s Topshop line is finally here, and the folks at British retail chain offer us a peek with the collection’s lookbook.
Although the line isn’t due in stores until next month, much buzz has been circulating around the Versace designer’s 39 pieces. By the looks of the photos (seen after the jump), it is obvious as to why the hype has originated.
The collection, ranging from $60 for a scarf to $310 for a dress, unfortunately isn’t the cheapest. With dresses like these, however, I think that I can make quite the exception!
The line is expected to come complete with shoes and bags.

Suspense Builds For Ashish Arrival at Topshop
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Sales, Women, Footwear, Boots,
Topshop‘s bloggers gave us a very nice peek at the boots coming straight from Ashish’s Fall/Winter 2009 collection, and boy do I wish I lived in London right now! Of course, there’s New York, but they’ll probably be gone in three seconds once they’re on the floor. Or maybe us online buyers have a glimpse of hope? Probably not, but I’m being optimistic here.
The boots hit stores next week.

Twitter Kicks: Our readers send us pics of their kicks
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Site Features, Men, Women, Footwear, Sneakers,
A couple of days ago, we hit up the Chic Dish Twitter account and asked our followers to send in a picture of the kicks that they were wearing at that very moment. It was an experiment, and if 20 responses came in, we would have given a $20 Zappos gift certificate away randomly to one of the submitters. Unforunately, we only got 17 submissions, so no giveaway on this one—however, we are going to do this regularly, so be on the lookout, and be sure to follow Chic Dish on Twitter.
That said, we had a great time checking out the submissions, all of which you can find after the jump, along with the Twitter user who sent it in. Go take a look, and let us know what you think - any favorites?
Edit: Okay, we are getting a few questions about the roll of toilet paper in the above photo—we checked with @pinksage, and apparently, she has “the sniffles” and was too lazy, or broke (have you seen the economy lately), to do it up right and grab a box of Kleenex.

Posted by Monica Edwards Categories: Infants, Infant Girls, Apple Bottoms, Baby Phat, Timberland, Bottoms, Jeans, Footwear, Sneakers, Outerwear, Jackets & Coats,
It seems that a lot of my female friends are pregnant; something in the water they say? So I could not resist parousing a few sites to check out the options for baby shower gifts that will allow my friends’ little ones to come into this world in style. If you are anything like me, or like any other woman I suppose, you absolutely love to shop for baby clothes. It takes us back to the times of picking out the most fashionable duds and accessories available for our Barbies. I have picked out a few of these must-have’s for that special baby in your life.
The Apple Bottoms Infant Light Weight Gold Jacket jacket is the cutest thing I have seen in a long time, and is just $30. Matched with the Apple Bottoms Infant Kiki Sneakers ($17), and these Baby Phat Infant Printed Belt Boot Cut Jean ($19), your baby girl will be the hippest infant in her playgroup.
If you love pink (as most little girls do,) this adorable Apple Bottoms Infant Flocked Bomber Jacketwill bring you back to when you wish you were a “pink lady.” This one can be had for about $30, over 50% off the original price.
Let’s finish off with a couple more pieces of cute footwear. These Timberland Nordic Freeze Crib Booties are exactly what your hip baby needs to show off their street smarts and to keep their tiny toes all warm and snug, or they also come in dark blue for that little man of yours, and best of all, they are around $10! These are at a deep discount though, so you have to move quick to acquire these cute kicks.
