La mode c'est tout...Fashion is everything

So Fashion Week has come and gone in NYC, it has now traveled overseas to “Gay Pari” (I always wanted to say that) and regardless of the failing economy and potential bailout bills and things, designers are still putting on fabulous productions that are costing them hundreds of thousands of dollars. The show must go on. Once again, my ticket must have gotten lost, oh how I would LOVE to go to Paris to watch the shows, it’s so Devil Wears Prada and Sex in the City….one day my friends, one day. So update my friends…SugarCane Closet will be making a transition in its content and hopefully soon with its look…so be on the lookout and please spread the word.

Fashion goes on regardless of the economy, and in these hard times one must still keep up appearances….even if you only have $5 in your wallet. As stated in one of my previous posts, Fall is here and so is the fashion! Time to put away the sandals (so sad) and button up! Celebs have always set the trend and as a star crazed nation, we idolize and follow them with drool coming out of mouths, from their hair to their purchases and definitely their fashion. So if you want to keep up with the trends of the season, you will always without a doubt see it on your favorite celebs.



To jumpstart the new direction of SugarCane Closet, I decided to start with a classic necessity for every girls closet…the Little Black Dress. In 1926, Coco Chanel revolutionized the dress that was primarily associated with mourning into a fashion staple in every woman’s closet. Rosario Dawson recently rocked a LBD to the Miss Sixty show at the tents at Bryant Park during NYC Fashion Week.

She’s wearing the Miss Sixty Dessert Dress from their Spring '09 collection and by pairing it with a red patent belt, she added a little punch to the classic dress. Her pockets are a little heftier than mine, so here are some wallet friendly versions of her ensemble. ‘Cause we’re in a recession honey!

1. Ralph Lauren Women's Ryder Taffeta Wrap Shirtdress $280.00 Macys 2. Danya Knit Dress W/ Neck Sash $17.80 Forever21 3. Tailored wool Carrie dress $138 Jcrew 4. Isaac Mizrahi for Target® Cap-Sleeve Ponte Dress $39.99 Target

1. Patent Chain Belt $9.80 Forever21 2. Lauren by Ralph Lauren Patent Leather Belt $52.00 Nordstrom 3. Betsey Johnson Women's Wide Patent Belt $40.00 Bloomingdales

1. Theory 'Selma.Patent' peep toe pumps $ 188.76 Bluefly 2. Bandolino Georgina $69.00 Zappos 3. BCBGirls Women's Mary Peep Toe Pump $80.71 Endless 4. Women's Mossimo® Vernice Peep-Toe Pumps $26.99 Target

Throw on a fitted jacket (another Fall Trend) for the office to keep it conservative and then you can either take it off or leave it on for drinks with the girls or an after work or a hot date with your Mcsteamy. Either way its trendy, cute and takes the classic LBD to the next level. So when you are doing your Fall shopping make sure that you pick up a little black dress, it’s a staple item that can be transitioned season to season and it’s a classic. And can I just say please DONT SLEEP on Target!
