Fashionindie Week Brooklyn: Gossip Girl Nights at Pop Lounge Featuring Angel Lust!

Last night I headed over to Gossip Girl Nights, appropriately held at a little Upper East Side spot called Pop Lounge. The weekly, fashionindie-sponsored event is the kind of thing that makes me wish I lived in NYC, or at least visited more. Every Monday a different designer from the show is featured. This week's event showcased Angel Lust by Kristen May, an adorable line of headbands and bows that are perfect for turning up the charm on your sweet (and even your not-so-sweet) outfits. The retro-style lounge was ideal spot for indulging in cocktails and appetizers and a few OMFGs, naturally, and when the episode ended I had a chance to chat with the incredibly sweet Kristen herself, along with a few of her friends. Topics ranged from vintage shopping to blogging to grandmas (yup), and my way out i was treated to a gift bag filled with chocolates from the Chocolate Bar at Bendel's (where Kristen's pieces have been showcased) and a few other girly treats. You can find Angel Lust headbands, including the must-have rockstar-inspired Spring 2009 collection at Patricia Field in NYC, revolveclothing.com, and at her Etsy shop. Check out Kristen's blog for more pics from the night, and keep up with her work...psst, her true passion is clothing design!

Home Style: Fabulous Furniture That Fits!

City dwellers - New Yorkers, in particular - are remarkably adept at making even the tiniest of studio apartments look chic. With just the right balance of calm neutrals, surprising pops of color and perfectly sized pieces, a one-room flat can become a jewel box worthy of a four-page spread in any design mag. The key, of course, is finding furniture that fits the space and achieves that all-important blend of functionality and style. Some tips? A round table allows for lots of seating even in small spaces. Forget the bulky armchairs and look for slipper chairs that provide all the comfy upholstery without the heft of space-gobbling arms. And a sleek Parsons mini-desk can pull double duty as a hall console for keys and mail and a home for your laptop. For more small space pieces, check out my SLIDESHOW!

Editor's Pick: Yitan's Spring 2008 Collection Redefines Sporty Chic

If you're anything like me, you're eagerly awaiting the day when "athletic chic" doesn't automatically translate into a tank top and Juicy track pants, or worse, Gucci sneakers. Shudder. Well, fellow fitness-inspired fashion seekers, relief has come, and its name is Yitan - Thomas Chen Yitan, to be exact. Modern shapes, simple yet sumptuous fabrics, and fresh colors lend a crisp, cool edge to his exceptionally tailored tops, jackets, shorts, and skirts. Graphics are sparse but statement-making, and strong cuts paired with airy elements add movement to each carefully crafted look. Click READ MORE to learn how he got his start and SEE SLIDESHOW for his amazing Spring collection!
