Dashing Diva Takes On Backstage NYFW S/S 2010
Dashing Diva was everywhere this season, prepping models backstage at several shows. There was Jillian Lewis, Mikhael Kale, Lorick, Caroline Seikaly, L.A.M.B., Tahari, Rosa Cha, and Georges Chakra to name a few.
This season seemed to be about largely about the neutrals.
One of my favorite nail hues was Dashing Diva’s Trust Fund as seen at Erin Fetherston:
As you prepare to stow away your summer polishes, head to Dashing Diva and stock up on neutrals for spring.

L.A.M.B. Spring 2010
The L.A.M.B. runway was an eclectic mix of bold prints, crazy colors, and a juxtaposition of pretty and punk. The looks were edgy and altogether youthful.
There were some looks that kept me guessing, but many of the pieces just took my breath away. (Such as the darling white lace tights below that I must have right now! As Sarah from Style IT would say, “I need them in my life!”)
All in all, I’ve always been a big proponent of L.A.M.B. and if this season was so much fun, I’m so excited to see what happens next season!

Hudson “Jeggings” = Fall Must-Have Denim
As a curvy gal, it’s often an uphill battle to find jeans that fit just so. The closest I’ve come is a pair of elastic waist skinny jeans (no, they weren’t maternity jeans!) I found at Target, which resulted in incessant teasing from the boyfriend.
However, Hudson’s latest offering are not only just what the doctor ordered, but they just might do the trick. Totally different from those leggings you might have seen that are made to look like denim, Hudson’s Jeggings are a combination of the jean and leggings.
So, how would you style these clever little devils this fall?
Lead denim designer for Hudson Jeans, Ben Taverniti, offers his suggestion, proving that Jeggings are as versatile as they are comfortable:
“The jegging is a fashion essential this season because it provides the comfort of the legging and chic design of the jean. It’s something that is very easy to wear and goes with anything in your cloest. To dress up your new jeggings, wear them with Christian Louboutins or dress them down with a beat up pair of Converse tennis shoes. You can wear them with a tank top or a more dressy top, a canvas bag or a Balenciaga. The jegging gives your look an edge, no matter how you style them.”
Hudson “jeggings” retail for $154.00 and are available in sizes 24-32.
