What We Crave

Article Sponsored by:

When it comes to fashion, style and that luxury lifestyle, there isn't much that we don't crave. Here are the top five things, we are craving right now...

We can't get enough of RM by Roland Mouret and his limited edition dresses made exclusively for NET-A-PORTER.COM We fell in love with this Vaneau Wool dress for $2,065, but we know that we would have it in our closet for decades. Just the thought that our granddaughters may wear this, gives us all the reason to justify the purchase. Shop this look at NET-A-PORTER.COM

Given our penchant for worldy fashions, we can't get enough of the Italian sportswear from Dismero. The brand opened in Chicago last year, but fashionistas in Italy and Germany have been enjoying Dismero fashion for the past 20 years. The company, helmed by designer Andy D'Auria, is known for their great fitting trousers and chic, jet-setting pieces. Their Chicago location is located at 50 E. Oak Street, however, you can shop worldwide at www.dismero.it

We dream for a trip abroad and more specifically to Paris and with current sales at Air France, we think it's time for a European shopping trip! With French women being some of the chicest in the world, we are ready to take on their shopping destinations. The lowest available Air France fares are here.

We are really craving eco-friendly living right now and a new condominium building in Bucktown, EcoLogic Lofts, will take care of all of our needs when it comes to green living. Not to mention, the location is definitely in one of the hottest shopping destinations in the city of Chicago. We'll be close to some of our favorite shops like Marc Jacobs, Nanette Lepore, Cynthia Rowley, Michelle Tan, Malabar, and so many more. Vist www.ecologiclofts.com


It's no secret we have a thing for large cocktails rings. This one we love because it's large and in charge, but the price tag isn't. At just $375, this Onyx Snake ring will definitely get you noticed. Shop Vivre

LA Fashion Week Spring 2009: Kevan Hall

Inspired by former MGM costumer, Adrian, Kevan Hall created looks that screamed out glamorous old Hollywood. The colors were simple but sophisticated. He brought the Hollywood glam from the runway to everyday “let’s do lunch” dresses. Chic and hip, Hall created a collection that brought the old Hollywood glam to the twentieth century.
