>> London Fashion Week is already brimming with amazing looks and our latest street-snapped crush is sure to provide some mid-Winter inspiration. A pretty pleated maxi skirt is paired with a boxy jacket and cropped blazer for a femme-meets-masculine feel. Pointy suede booties, vintage-inspired gold watch, and ostrich bag complete her high-contrast ensemble. Nab the same outfit with our similar and exact picks from Topshop, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Sergio Rossi, and ASOS.

Good on Tomas Maier: Bottega Veneta Is Currently PPR's Only Brand Seeing a Rise in Sales

>> Just a few days after LVMH reported a decline, causing all marketing to be cut save for its top-performing brands, PPR reported a 76 percent decline in first-half profits. Tomas Maier can breathe a sigh of relief: the company's only area of growth was Bottega Veneta, on which PPR has been focusing, which saw an 8.6 percent rise in sales in the second quarter.

At flagship brand Gucci, which accounts for the bulk of Gucci Group's profits, Frida Giannini was credited by PPR chairman Francois-Henri Pinault for bolstering PPR as a whole with sustained demand for her bags in China.

Clockwise from top left: Mary Jane $790 @ Puma, Satin sneaker pumps $755 @ Net-a-Porter, Clyde High Lace $790 @ Puma, Satin Lace Up Sneaker Mint, Lavender, Ultra-Violet all $190 @ Net-a-Porter

We've been on a sportswear kick this season and we're not the only ones. It seems Sergio Rossi designed a range for Puma which recently hit shelves. The colorful and on-trend styles are rendered in satin, giving them a ready-to-wear feel. Although the sneaker pumps are significantly higher in price, the classic sneakers are just under two hundred dollars. Wear them with a monochromatic gray look and you'll be sporty and fashionable.

Sergio Rossi Gladiator Elastic Strap Sandals

coutorture — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 07:59:42 PDT

We tried these puppies on yesterday and damn if we didn't near miss our appointment for the sake of waiting in the checkout line. Oh, Intermix, we will be back. Yes, Intermix looks like Lucky magazine exploded all over some harmless brick and mortar, but we have to give it to their buyers. Sometimes, the best things in life...are at Intermix. These Sergio Rossi Gladiator Elastic Strap Sandals are the perfect late summer-early fall stacked sandal. We nearly had to sit down and ask for a glass of water at the thought of them paired with a crisp, skinny pair of jeans. What we like about them is that the khaki and brown color combination, the somewhat conservative heel structure, and the usage of elastic make it all seem a bit Brooks Brothers but, you know, a gladiator is a gladiator and so it's a nice play between 'balthazaar frequenting chicster' and 'cape cod dwelling tennis player'. It's conservative and fashion forward, which is essentially what Sergio Rossi does best. Sigh, the fact that such things can be had for less than it costs to drink in New York for the weekend means that there is justice in the fashion world. Okay, we kid (but we do love the shoes).

things are getting a little hairy

>> I'm still hard into fringe and feathery goodness, but something new has caught my eye for Fall. I know it's a little farfetched, but after watching the hair flow around the heels at Behnaz Sarafpour (left), such great movement stuck in the back of my mind. By the time I saw that Sergio Rossi (right, top) and Pierre Hardy (right, bottom) had the same idea in mind for their Fall collections, I was sold: Gotta get some hair up in here.
