Some of our favorite fashion trends of 2009 were of course inspired by runway models and our favorite celebs. We will see which trends remain relevant in 2010!
2009 will forever be remembered as a year of fantastic music. The talent of artists such as Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey, Pink!, and Kanye West brought creativity and positive energy to the music scene that inspired so many artists. Of course due to the untimely death of the late Michael Jackson there was a new interest in all of his previous albums.
We are celebrating the end of 2009 by nominating all of our favorites for a “Best of 2009 Awards”. Thanks to all of our followers on Twitter for contributing to this list of categories and nominees. We will re-live all of the favorites of 2009!
The following categories will be included:

If you’re shopping for a woman or teenage girl, you cannot go wrong if you buy perfume.

One of our favorite “Invitation Only” shopping sites has expanded their family of stores to include Gilt Man and Jetsetter. Gilt Man is a site dedicated exclusively to selling designer men’s clothing and accessories. If you were with the Gilt Groupe prior to their expansion, you probably saw men’s clothing offered occasionally. Due to popular demand, apparently men are looking for good deals on designer clothing! Jetsetter is a new concept Gilt Groupe. If you love to travel first class all the way to the cutest boutique hotel you may want to check this site out.

Cardigan sale tops, dresses, and cardigans
Save up to 71%
Prices Start at $44
For those seeking that perfect wardrobe essential, up-and-coming label Cardigan delivers all that it’s name suggests, and more. Designer Lynne Hiriak has been enamored of knitwear ever since she created a black jersey dress for her first class at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology. After graduating from the prestigious school, she cut her teeth working for the likes of fashion giants like Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors, and Derek Lam, and eventually launched her own apparel company along with the CARDIGAN line in 2008. Motivated by her affinity towards cardigans (the designer has amassed a collection of more than 100), Hiriak decided to create a line composed solely of luxe, fashion-forward sweaters.
Michael Kors Clothing
Save up to 71%
Prices Start at $38 (so cheap!!)
MICHAEL by Michael Kors offers the same breed of jet-setter sportswear as his namesake collection, but without breaking the bank.

Kim Kardashian would like to set the record straight and let everyone know that she’s a “Size 2, not a 2X”. This comment on Kim’s blog came after reports of her supporting Forever 21’s new plus size line, which Kim is supposedly a fan of. In Kim’s blog article she goes on to make sure that we all know she’s better than everyone else by telling us all how she works so hard to maintain her “perfectly curvy body”. Kim Kardashian certainly gets kudos for her style, but obviously she has insecurity issues if she feels better by bad mouthing any group of people. Beautiful people come in all shapes and sizes, and if she wants to be a good role model for women she should retract her statement!
Just because the economy isn’t doing well, it doesn’t mean that you have to give up buying beautiful designer clothes. Everyone has a tighter budget and we are seeing more sales at some of the top department stores that carry our favorite designer brands but the prices at department stores can’t begin to compare to Invitation Only Shopping Sites. We have a wonderful running list, and we have to rave about these sites again because we can’t get enough of them. Our addiction began with wonderful finds at the Gilt Groupe, Rue La La, Hautelook, Editors Closet, and ideeli. We’ve added 7 additional sites: Catwalk to Closet, The Top Secret, I Shop Fem, DD Push, an a few more.. If you want an invites to the sites, check out our list and leave a comment and request invites. Happy Shopping!
