Take for example these two pieces from Charlotte at this past Rio Spring 2007 Ready to Wear fashion week (I’ll see if I can post some more stuff tomorrow).

Another favorite of mine is this flowing number from KYLZA RIBAS:

So said user cosette on The Fashion Spot’s message boards. Let me tell you something cosette, I agree. Let me expand on this for a second:

After hearing about her tussle in New York with Paris Hilton (ugh) and later Pdiddy (ugh), she really doesn’t belong in anything beginning with a B. Whether it be Balenciaga, BCBG, Burberry or Banana Republic.

The New York Times yesterday had astory on the chicness of Madison Avenue coming to Harlem. We were telling our readers about this last month, but I digress. One of the main stores featured is our good friend, N. N is located on 116th between Seventh and Lenox Avenues. It has everything one in the know about fashion would want. The Madison Avenue style without the Madison Avenue attitude. Gotta love it.
