New Arrivals from Kal Rieman

We love this new menswear inspired look from Kal Rieman we just got in! The double breast herring-bone vest looks equally chic buttoned as it does unbuttoned with a leather trim that gives it a little something extra. The silk tunic is so luxurious and a perfect mate for this beautiful vest. Leave the ties untied or make a bow for a more crisp look.

New Arrivials from Haute Hippie

Talk about a statement dress!

We love the "burning love" print on this drape dress for fall! The silk, weighted cowl neck dress creates a look of effortless sophistication. Ruffles of luxurious silk fold and cascade at the neck and hem line to create movement, balance and refinement while the self fabric tailored waist gives definition and form.

Taking a Break

There are a lot of interesting things brewing at iniam -- I've got my hands in a lot of cookie jars, and I'm taking a little break from blogging to focus on these big and exciting projects.

I'll be back...

New Role for SJP

First the Olsens, then Mrs. Beckham (did anyone see her on American Idol? What the heck was up with her hair?), and now SJP.

From the design atelier to executive suites, celebrities are joining the ranks of some of the most coveted designers in the business.

The latest is Sarah Jessica Parker. The “Sex and the City” star is joining Halston as president and chief creative officer, the company confirmed to WWD.

"As part of the arrangement, the actress will own an equity stake in the firm, joining a group that includes investors Harvey Weinstein and Tamara Mellon of Jimmy Choo. She will also have a seat on the Halston board alongside Weinstein and chief executive officer Bonnie Takhar. The unique arrangement will give her an integral role in shaping the strategic direction of the iconic brand — and could change the way celebrities look at future fashion deals."

Halston + SJP = WINNER!

50% Off All Fall and Holiday

Enjoy 50% off all fall and holiday wear. It's a deal you don't wan to miss!

As if that wasn't exciting enough...I found a great pair of shoes, AND they're on sale (I love the nude color -- I say pass on the other colors). Heel height is not too bad and though they may seem conservative, if you pair them with skinny jeans and and the top or boyfriend jacket of your choice, well you can throw conservative out of the window.

The Giving Top

There aren't enough words to describe how beautiful this BCBG Runway blouse is. Even the picture doesn't do it justice. I have seen it first hand -- I have even tried it on, and I can truthfully say it's the top that just keeps on giving. The sheer fabric allows you to layer it over a simple tank, a strapless dress or a sexy bra if you are able to rock that look (I opted for the simple tank). The top itself is a wrap top allowing you to adjust the size. My favorite part is that I can tie the top in a way that looks as if it has an empire waistline which takes the pressure of my belly. Of course you can tie it at your natural waistline for those of you with rock star abs. Pair it with trousers, skinny jeans or a pencil skirt to fit your mood and occassion. The flowers are stunning and soft and not at all over bearing.

The top is lovely in white, but I opted to buy it in black for iniam. You've got to come in and check it out...it won't be available for long!

I Am What I Am

I bought a great dress the other day. It was on sale, then on sale, and then on sale. Sounds like it was something that should have been thrown out, but honestly it's a great dress -- fantastic drape, comfortable fabric, slimming fit and exposed zippers on the sleeves to give the dress a little edge. Honestly, it's perfect. I would show you a picture or share a link but as I said it was on clearance -- there is no evidence of it. So then why waste your time talking about? The dress has a "but". The dress is short. In fact, it's About 4 to 5 inches above my knee. And since I am all leg, I find myself walking a tight rope between hip and hooker chic.

Maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but at the end of the day the dress is shorter than what I am comfortable with. I'm a little conservative but I also have "see through," pasty white legs. Worst of all, the hereditary varicose veins are starting to rear their ugly heads. Typically I just stay away from short dresses, or I buy them in the winter when I can cover up my veins with a great pair of tights.

I meet so many women that just aren't happy with a particular part of their body. I hear it all: "my arms are too fat," my "butt is too big," my thighs are chunky," "my boobs are too busty"...the list goes on. The irony is that when I look at these women and there "problem areas", I can objectively say that those "areas" don't look bad at all! In fact, they look great and should be show to the world. We all have our issues but should those issues really rule what we can or can not wear. Why should we prisoners to our figures. Instead, we should embrace what we have and enjoy what the world of fashion has given us. My legs aren't one big vein...sure the coloring could be darker and more even, but should I turn my back on short dresses forever?

We have to accept that we are what we are. And truthfully, what we are is beautiful. We come in all sizes and shapes for a reason. Feel empowered by your body and what you have been blessed with.

The moral of the story is: I am keeping the short black dress.

Guess What?
