Topshop is opening its second store location in the country on Chicago's Magnificent Mile this September, and that means Chicagoans will get to indulge in Topshop makeup. To celebrate the launch, Topshop is creating an exclusive stormy blue nail polish aptly named Windy City. I'm totally jealous that my hometown is getting a Topshop but of course I will make it a top priority to shop there whenever I visit.

Kohl's has shared two new videos for the upcoming Jennifer Lopez collection launch. This time around, we get a rare glimpse of J. Lo hard at work at the Kohl's corporate headquarters. You have to watch, it's not what you think! Trust me.

The Jennifer Lopez Collection launches nationwide in Kohl's stores and on Kohls.com September 8th.

On September 9, I'll be attending the Rebecca Taylor Spring 2012 runway show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York. Here's a sneak peek from the designer:

"The Spring 2012 muse is contemporary, fresh, and ethereal. The collection emphasizes cut and color with unexpected cut-outs in silhouettes. Shades of oyster are highlighted by bold citrus colors of lemon, lime and tangerine. Cropped slouchy embellished sweaters, long skirts and voluminous outerwear in technical fabrics add edge while apron back dresses mixed with bone colored snake leather bibs inject a paired down cool attitude which sets the tone for the Spring 2012 collection."

Rebecca Taylor is one of my favorite designers to watch, her looks are so coolly feminine and pretty. Her color palette for spring has some things in common with what we've heard about Tracy Reese, too, I think we'll be seeing lots of brights balanced with neutrals and it'll be interesting to see each designers' take.

Have you found a cheaper version of the Christian Louboutin glittery peep toe pump ($895, neimanmarcus.com)? —Janet



Like Cinderella's glass slipper or Dorothy's ruby red shoes, these sparkly Louboutins look plucked from the pages of a fashion fairytale. What girl wouldn't feel transformed with these beauties on her feet?

Frankly I'm surprised I haven't featured them before. I blogged about the slingback version (here), but never the platform peep-toe.

While I'm not a fairy godmother, I found a few options that will give you a similar look for a lot less. My favorite has to be these "Klarence" heels by Rachel Rachel Roy ($99, macys.com). The 4 inch heel and platform gives these a super chic silhouette.
