So, which sandal is the real deal, and which one is total steal? You’ve got it right! On the left is a $695 (actually $405 on sale) Giuseppe Zanotti Design I90089 Sandal in Nero, while on the right is identical but much more affordable $110 BCBGeneration Mercury Sandal. BCBGeneration, which caters to students, is operated by BCBGMAXAZRIAGROUP, Inc and Max Azria’s eldest daughter Joyce Azria as creative director. Should the Azrias expect big fat copyright infringement lawsuit coming their way?

OK, we want to see a coat like this (seen on Sherlock Holmes played by Robert Downey Jr.) available for sale next fall. Is this possible? Partially yes, thanks to…

Sometimes beautiful clothes serve higher purpose other than making people look beautiful. Few celebrities recently donated their LBDs to charity auction, Clothes Off Our Back. So there’s your chance to get a garment with some celebrity sweat on it

Jessica Simpson donated several items from her own collection.

Mary J. Blige donated her size 2 Tadashi Shoji LBD.  

 This BCBG Max Azria LBD came from Ashlee Simpson-Wentz closet.

2009 was the year of ‘boyfriend’ things, and we are going to see a lot of this trend carried forward into 2010.

So, the boyfriend cardigan has its place among boyfriend jeans, shorts, jackets, blazers, etc. Even though cardigans are very useful this time of year, they become scarce as retailers stock up resort and spring items. So, we checked online retailers for what’s left of their boyfriend cardigan inventory. Enjoy…
