LA Fashion Week: Whitley Kros runway review

Sleepy Spring… Attending the Whitley Kros Spring 2009 fashion show was like being invited to a posh slumber party. The models lightly glided down the runway with messy mopped up hair thrown in a tiny little twisted bun. The make up was minimal with kisses of peach.   If this is what spring is going to be about, then we are definitely in for a treat!

The dolman sleeve was very present, as well as menswear inspired blouses. My favorite pieces had to be the long legged rompers. A sleeker

Fit Flops - New Styles - The Exercise Gladiator Sandal beats cellulite. FitFlop sandals get the fashion touch. When it comes to body-bettering toning claims— 'nuff said, I'm your girl guinea pig. Last summer getting your feet into the limited supply FitFlop, "the sandal with the built in gym" was about as impossible as coming upon an authentic Birkin at a yard sale— there's a chance but slim it is.
