Watch This: Derek Lam Talks About His Cheap-Chic Line for Kohl's


Kohl's shared this short video (password: kohls) featuring designer Derek Lam talking about his affordable DesigNation at Kohl's collection, launching April 5th. It's almost here!! This video was shot at his NYC preview last fall showing off his collection inspired by Rio de Janeiro to top magazine editors, who gush unabashedly about the cheap-chic clothes. And rightly so - I think Lam has done a brilliant job translating his signature designs to a mass audience. Not convinced? Just take a look at Shay Mitchell rocking a denim dress from the line. Can't wait to see how more real women and fashion bloggers style these pieces once the line launches.

Vaseline sent me a complimentary can of this product in the Total Moisture variety, and here's what I thought.

The Look for Less: DV by Dolce Vita 'Archer' Sandals

These DV by Dolce Vita "Archer" flat sandals are $69 at Dillard's, available in 4 color combos. I'm sure you'd get a lot of wear out of these, and the pop of neon is so fresh.

Get the look for less with the Mossimo "Falk" flat sandal, just $19.99 at Target.com. The "Falk" is also available in multiple color combos, and I've got my eye on this striped pair.



This type of blatant "copying" happens every season, which leads me to believe Dolce Vita and Target have an ongoing "understanding."

Which pair would you wear?
