A few years ago Stephanie Doucette and Annebet Duvall took their neighborly friendship to the next level and collaborated on a clothing collection dubbed
Doucette Duvall. To date, the designing duo are still going strong and creating beautiful vintage-inspired offerings. Liv Tyler looks stunning in their asymmetrical LBD, seen left.
I love discovering local designers. My latest find,
Sara Shepherd, is originally from Britain but has since jumped continents. She now calls San Francisco home and her hybrid of American and British influences has resulted in an amazing and meticulous collection of clothing.

Most of you were on
Team Cologne from Stylista. Though she got the boot, she's not sitting at home crying. Nay.

Imagine my joy when I came across
Cardigan by Lynne Hiriak. This only feeds into my cardigan obsession, you know. Having worked as a design consultant for Thakoon, Derek Lam, and Lela Rose, Hiriak set out to create cozy knits and cardigans with just-right prices.
Whoever this Victoire character is, she is one lucky girl to have a
stunning shoe collection dedicated to her. Perhaps it's Princess Victoire of France, or maybe it's the concept of victory. Either way, designer David Giordano has done an impressive job at creating killer footwear for women who can handle height.
