Charlotte Russe Launch Event Fall 2009 - Romantic Collections

Here are the photographs I took of the "Romantic" collections at the Charlotte Russe Launch Event - Fall 2009 last night in NYC. Stylists merged elements from the lookbook referred to as "Heirloom," "Oh So Chic" and "Desire," each marked by feminine details with a nostalgic nod to the past. Some of the looks have a roaring '20s flapper feel to them that I just love. The Chanel-inspired tweed jacket is a must-have, and don't miss the Jimmy Choo-inspired cutout booties (I was hoping someone would do those on the cheap!).

Left: The "Desire" collection embodies Baroque romance with lace, fur, feather & ribbon details, jet beads, goddess draping and back interest. Right: The "Oh So Chic" collection captures the Uptown girl spirit with satin fabrications, rompers, sequins & studs, cutouts and stone embellishments.


The "Heirloom" collection embodies ladylike-style with cardigans & couture-inspired jackets, tweed & boucle, peacock, mesh & crochet details, vintage cheetah prints, and pretty pearls.




Skirt, available 8/10, $22.99; Satin handbag, available 8/14, $19.99; Pearl bracelet, available 8/11, $6.00










I noticed these are knock-offs of Jimmy Choos Cutout shoe booties, orig. $950 at Bergdorf Goodman.




These shoes are listed in the lookbook under kitson for Charlotte Russe (more on that later) but appeared in the "Heirloom" model exhibit (sorry but I don't know the industry speak, haha). Available 8/6, $34.99

So here are photos I snapped at last night's Charlotte Russe Launch Event - Fall 2009 in NYC of the "Ex-Boyfriend" collection, a playful take on '90s grunge complete with flannel shirts, destroyed denim, combat-style boots and more. I will always regret g

The Devil may wear Prada, but I'm sure she has space in her closet for these sinfully seductive Jimmy Choo cutout shoe booties, made from nappa leather and snakeskin. Originally $950.00 you can pick them up for $428.00 on sale at Bergdorf Goodman.

This collection is fabulous!! Argh I wish my city had a store. I'll just have to satisfy myself with online shopping I guess.
