This is certainly a "different" look D&G is showing for Fall 09: Structured Shoulder Turtleneck, $575 with Duchesse Satin Bubble Skirt, $575.
I know a lot of designers have been showing the puffy sleeve and structured shoulders, but yikes, I don't know... It looks so 80s, and that still frightens me. The print of the turtleneck also looks much like a tapestry or carpet bag, that's not a good thing.
You can check out the new Dolce & Gabbana beauty line at Saks.com. I love the luxe gold containers and rich colors.
Here are my picks:
Luminous Cheek Color, $44 in nude.
Smooth Eye Coulour Duo, $36 in fortune and stromboli.
Smooth Eye Colour Quad, $59 in champagne.
Crayon Intense Eyeliner, $29 in black and coffee.
Classic Cream Lipstick, $30 in cashmere, nude, velvet and goddess.
I'm not a big fan however of their advertising campaign for the line with Scarlett Johansson. I think she looks a bit cheesy, not modern and appealing at all.
A shipment of Dolce & Gabbana is coming to Loehmann's tomorrow!
I know it's a bit depressing to shop at such an ugly store (the one in Philadelphia, that has since closed, looked no different than a K-mart), but for deals like this it is so worth it! I am still loving my Diane Von Furstenburg silk jersey dress that I got there last year...
Oooh, I so want these beautiful Dolce & Gabbana pumps but I have put myself on a shoe ban. Obama said we should implement personal responsibilty, right? (I don't "need" these after all.)
Details: Olive green slightly grained leather, round toe, with D&G horsebit and 4-1/4 inch stacked heel. Cool gold footbed and leopard lining. Made in Italy. Regular price $695, sale price $419.
Such a good deal too. And they have my size. Boo hoo hoo!!!
