designer vintage clothing redux Vintage hungry fashionistas get what they want- designer reissues! When Mom tells you that she once had a dress just like that, she's not kidding. In effort to keep up with vintage starving fashionistas, European designers and activewear manufactures are "reissuing" their old styles in limited editions. Last month, Yves Saint Laurent Couture in Paris offered a numbered copy of Mr. Saint Laurent's famous 1966 "le smoking" women's tuxedo for a modern-day price of about $6,300, reports WWD. Sonia Rykiel is introducing a "Modern Vintage" collection for fall with a limited run of archival favorites. Adidas, Levi's, Lacoste, and Valentino will also be reissuing.

Solving The Baby Shower Dilemma- Smart Choices For Newborn Gifts of Style

  Dear Sharon: I am in desperate need to buy a baby shower gift for a rather savvy fashionable relative. Unfortunately, I am absolutely out of the newborn loop and can't even begin to figure out what to buy. Should I buy clothing, toys, necessities, or what? Help! - Goo Goo Ga Ga Gift (via Fashion Advice)   Dear Goo Goo Ga Ga Gift: Baby gifts can be rather tricky, sooo many people give what they would like their child to have rather than consider the parent's tastes or needs. Bravo, for thinking outside of yourself! With this in mind, many moms-to-be register their wish list at a favorite store. You can ask if there is a baby registry and case

Forget the Dancing Elephants…

Dralion Circus costumes can be gorgeous, just look at Cirque du Soleil's Dralion. Yeah, yeah, I know you think a circus can't be a style thing, but that's just not true. Dralion,Cirque du Soleil's newest production currently touring North America, and sponsored in part by Swarovski crystal, is just one of the most fabulous visual spectacles around. Of course, you knew that all Cirque du Soleil's are gorgeous, didn't you? In fact, the NYC opening night crowd at Dralion was pretty chi-chi too. There were more babes teetering in their Jimmy Choo stilettos to keep the storyline of Sex and the City going ad infinitum. To heck, with dancing elephants… I'll take the cinema-fantastique costumes, Chinese acrobats, and the techno-tribal

De-clutter This!…

The Harness Motorcycle Boot is Back I don't care what efficiency "experts" say. I just paid a visit to a demonstration initiated by a "professional organizer'' to see if she has some brilliant secrets about realistically storing a collection of boots. Her solution: Toss out what you haven't worn in a year. I guess that's why she looked like she couldn't give a who-ha about style! Well, if I had tossed my old faithful harness-strap motorcycle boots years ago, I'd be kicking myself in the proverbial fashion can right now. The chunky harness boot is back in a big way. Get one pronto or dig out the pair that you used to wear with that Chanel tweed jacket. What goes

LOOK BETTER FOR LESS…

Dress Tips for a Meager Budget Inexpensive clothing, for the most part but not always, lacks the quality and workmanship of a better priced garment. I'm not telling you to spend money you don't have, I'm telling you to shop discriminatingly. There are certain thrifty things that you can get away with. Natural fibers like cotton and some wool can stand up to the scrutiny of a cheaper price tag. But be careful of color and sizing. White is usually OK across the price board, but typically the buttons and seaming don't pass muster. If the seams are skinny and ragged, forget it, there is nothing to do. But if the buttons are cruddy, just replace them with better buttons.

The Poodle Says…

It's All About Doggie Style You're dolled up, so why expect poochie to have style that's for the dogs? We're not talking about fussy leashes and glamourella collars that doggie darling feels too overdone to catch a ball in. Or, that your he-man honey feels totally ridiculous being near.

Now, there's no excuse to dog out on doggie style…. Arrrrufff!
