Don’t let your presents be lost in the pile of holiday packages—give gifts that will long be favorites after the hustle and bustle of the holidays has past.  Yes, this takes extra thought and maybe even some research—what’s hot, what’s not and especially, what’s uber trend-worthy for 2010.  Oh wait, we’ve already done that for you.  Here’s your cheat sheet of what to get, where—take this shopping with you and call it a day.  We’re seeing more relaxing days in December in your future than ever before—and you’re welcome.

Hot for Him. Do him something handsome and pick a rugged I-just-lounged by the fire Fair Isle sweater, or, help him conquer the clutter with a charging station for his smart phone and other tech essentials.  If he’s been extra good this year, indulge him with that iPad he’s been eyeing from the Apple store at Los Cerritos Center ($499).

Haute for Her. Glamour is “in”; choose a decadent bejeweled cocktail ring, or help her make as statement this winter with a tailored velvet blazer.   And, get the nod of approval when she opens a pair of trend-forward studded leather gloves, like this pair we snagged from Banana Republic at The Oaks ($69.50).

Choice for the Children. If you truly want to be the favorite, treat them with a trip to Build-A-Bear Workshop, and make them glow with a new cozy bedtime buddy like this rosy-nosed reindeer we spotted at The Shops at Montebello ($90.00 for the pair shown).  Also good for lighting up the little ones this holiday—write this down—anything Toy Story or Zhu Zhu related.

Keepers for the Kids at Heart. Some of us are technically above the age of 12, but on the inside—you wouldn’t know it.  For these perpetual Peter Pans, the new Kinectics game system is a video game dream come true, and “the” gift of the year.  Also sure-fire winners—remote controlled helicopters or a Star Wars themed cookie cutter or pancake mold set—we found ours at Williams-Sonoma in The Oaks (both $19.95).

Gotta Get These Gifts Under $25. Stocking stuffers of gifts for your cubicle mate—no matter—these grab-and-go gifts are where it’s at.   Pick up a re-useable coffee sleeve in designs for him or her,  look for a radio for the shower (who doesn’t sing while shampooing) like this mirrored version we saw at Macy’s at Inland Center ($24.99 on sale) or bag a few stackable bangles in neon brights or rhinestones.

The new fashion momentum is bringing back old-world glamour and reintroducing pearls as fresh go-to accessories and embellishments for the season.  Pearls may have temporarily gotten a bad rap for being the costume jewelry of your frumpy Aunt, or it may conjure images of beaded puff-sleeved wedding gowns from three decades ago — but these aren’t those pearls.

Your favorite retailers, your celebrity style gurus, clothing and jewelry designers everywhere have taken notice of this time defying trend and are piling them on — adorning cardigans, pairing them with metallic chains and ribbons in rich necklaces, and topping off chunky cocktail rings.  Pearls are the quintessential accessory for fall and winter — you want them.

Here’s a peek at the top three ways we like to wear them:

Cultured Couture

We snagged this one from Metropark at The Oaks ($20.30).

Pearl necklaces are traditional, sure, but have gotten a makeover for a little twist.  Look for tiers of mixed mediums—edgy chains, whimsical ribbons and glittering beads offset the refined sass of perfect pearls.  Top off any look—night or day—with this versatile piece for an instant style update.  We snagged this one from Metropark at The Oaks ($20.30).

Pearls of Wisdom

Macy’s at Lakewood Center ($38).

We can learn a thing or two about style from those trend-setters of yesteryear.   Pearls have long been lauded as lust-worthy—and now we’re seeing them from inventive new angles.  We’re positively purring about the latest pearl-studded tops and sweaters—choose a blast from the 80s past, like this scoop neck sweater tunic we saw at Macy’s at Lakewood Center ($ 38) or curl up in a pearl adorned cardigan for a sweet and tidy take on the look.

Pearly Mates

New York & Company at The Shops at Montebello ($16.95).

Get attached to a signature pearl accessory with a little weight to it.  Look for clustered pearl and gem cocktail rings, or a pearl-laden cuff bracelets and call attention to a trend-forward statement piece for the season.   You can find these fun holiday looks at every price point — we love this one from New York & Company at The Shops at Montebello ($16.95).

As the cold season approaches, fashionistas are on the hunt for new captivating items to compliment their already stellar wardrobes. We at Style Seen Daily have made the search for an affordable coat super easy for you.  The styles vary from short cozy jackets, like the shearling jacket, to military inspired pieces to capes and long elegant numbers.

So whether your channeling Anne Hathaway, Blake Lively, or the Kardashian Sisters, we will help you find the perfect coat to keep you warm this season without breaking the bank.

Short Shearling

Love and Other Drugs actress Anne Hathaway sports this winter’s hottest trend, the shearling coat, and it looks great because she is has that casual cool style. We love how she mixed and matched with a flowy mini, floral top, and the trendy hat, she ties together her look with the warm and cozy coat.  The short shearling is perfect to pair with jeans and boots or over an LBD for a warm casual look.

Forever 21 makes this  Suedette Shearling, priced at $28, that incorporates Anne’s style without that movie star price.

Military

Hathaway’s Bride Wars co-star Kate Hudson took a stroll in chilly New York City with her beau, Muse front man Matthew Bellamy, in a Military style red coat.  This coat has a retro look, it is structured and has those gold buttons that oppose the red color well. Wool coats are a must-have for winter, so why we here at SSD advise you to stand out when walking and own the street like Kate.

Guess Military Coat. Macys.com

Be bold in bright outerwear this season like the gorgeous mother of two in Guess’ red military jacket, priced at $139. The metal buttons accent the rich red color, and the coat could serve as your everyday warmth or your night-on-the-town overcoat.

Cape

The Kardashian sisters are always ahead of the trends, so you know while opening up her new Dash location in Soho, Kourtney would be spotted in the newest coat design while keeping warm in NYC.  We love that capes have that old fashioned, 19th century look, which you rarely see these days and it can easily be incorporated into a modern wardrobe. Kourtney shows off her classic side in this cape after getting a pedicure with her sister Kim.

Try this plaid cape from Forever 21, $32.80, it is stylish and flirty, but will still keep you warm on those crisp winter days.

L.A.M.B designer and pop-rock sensation Gwen Stefani finds time in her busy schedule to play with two-year-old son Zuma and still look super stylish. This plaid coat from her own fashion line is $400 and it is stunning.  Plaid is a great pattern for the cold months, it adds some dynamic to the typical solid black or brown outfits, so dont be afraid to go bold like Gwen.

Mossimo Cropped Wool Coat. Target.com.

Target’s Mossimo brand makes this short plaid coat for $35. Pair this jacket with some lace or bright solid colors and you can have that punk-rock fashionable look like the No Doubt singer.

Look super chic while keeping warm like Anne, Kate, and Kourtney without breaking the bank.

Fall Must-Have: Camel Coat

This faintly pink tunic from Macy’s at Lakewood Center ($46) is a taste of the flirty match-made-in-heaven when lace and light colors come together.

One overarching trend that’s dominating this fall—looking like a lady.  Not a lady in the stuffy, uncomfortable way that may come to mind when you hear the word, but lady in the true stylish sense of the word–decked out, timeless, couture, and undeniably feminine.

We’ll be exploring the finer elements of ladylike style throughout this season, but let’s start with a quintessential fabric of this haute look—lace.

In the last few years, lace has been reinvented by designers everywhere.  It’s shed its outdated, frumpy past and been reallocated as fresh, girly trim on that lingerie inspired top—decadent overlay on  a classic black trench—and even, a pretty print for a sexy pump.  In other words—shed your past conceptions, and when you’re looking for style this season–look to lace.

Here are three examples of the new face of lace:

Lush and Light

Look for luxe layers of ruffled lace, or vintage-inspired tops or even stretch Ts and soft sheath dresses—all in nudes, neutrals or blush tones of this lightweight fabric.  The combination of the sheer lace in a tame hue—is positively ethereal.  This faintly pink tunic from Macy’s at Lakewood Center ($46) is a taste of the flirty match-made-in-heaven when lace and light colors come together.

Edgy and Extroverted

The asymmetrical lines of lace make this piece from Ann Taylor at The Oaks ($98 ) look modern, trend-forward, and dazzling.

Style outside the lines.  Look for old favorites—a classic lace top—in new forms.  The asymmetrical lines of lace make this piece from Ann Taylor at The Oaks ($98) look modern, trend-forward, and dazzling.

Delicate and Daring

This long top from Express at Los Cerritos Center ($69) shows the richness of a contrasting shade.

Overlay always makes the delicateness of the lace, pop.  Choose pieces with color on color lace to backing for a subtle touch of glamour, or be forward with your femininity and look for contrasting base layers to demand more attention.  This long top from Express at Los Cerritos Center ($69) shows the richness of a contrasting shade.

Look To Lace

Get the Lace Look for Less

New Hue: Nine West at The Shops at Montebello ($95).

Looking for that certain handbag to strut you into fall?  Look no further than the 50s flair of a short-handled, structured satchel.  These handle bags may be short on strap but they are long on style.  Glam them up with ruffles and bows, or go prim and proper with a classic old-school patent crocodile print, but look for the tell-tale stylings of the era — rounded, mini handles and slightly boxy form to fit the function.

These three caught our eye:

A New Hue

There’s nothing quite as refreshing as a new handbag, and a new handbag in a banging blue shade is just the ticket for the season.   Turn away from the turquoise that dominated the summer, and look to a more wintery cobalt.  Here’s one from Nine West at The Shops at Montebello ($95).

Tie One On

Tie One On: Macy’s at Inland Center ($98).

Bumpin’ little bows make the black really pop out from the ordinary — if you go with this subtle color, make sure to pick a little bit of extra sass to really make it stand out.  Patches of patent leather, ruffles or even studs say this look is circa 2010.  This stellar pick is from Macy’s at Inland Center ($98).

Get Shorty

Get Shorty: Find this find at Bebe at Los Cerritos Center ($269).

Short little straps is oh-so ladylike, and dare we say—sultry, this year. Consider going with a camel or tauny brown color with leather details like tassels or woven handles.   This is not your mother’s handbag.  Find this find at Bebe at Los Cerritos Center ($269).

Friday, September 10th fashion’s biggest party will be back in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, and all over the globe.  And we here at Style Seen Daily are on Fashion’s Night Out countdown.  With so many events going on at the same time, it’s hard to figure out which one should you go to.  We break it down for you here so you make the most of this shopping extravaganza.  3…2…1.

Anna Wintour And Marc Jacobs Stay Up Late For Jimmy

RODEO DRIVE FASHION’S NIGHT OUT SEPTEMBER 10, 2010 6:00 – 10:00 PM

Last year’s first installment of Fashion’s Night Out, an effort to jump-start a sagging industry with an evening full of shopping events in major cities all over the world that was brought to us by New York-based Vogue magazine and the Council of Fashion Designers of America, was, not surprisingly, very Manhattan-centric. Southern California was barely represented, with a few local scattered efforts staged at Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills and the Fred Segal Center on Melrose Avenue.

What a difference a year makes. For the sophomore effort on Friday, Sept. 10, Southern California is fielding a slate of highly organized, “Vogue-sanctioned” events, stretching from Newport Beach to Pasadena, and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa’s Office of Economic and Business Policy is rallying retailers.

Following are highlights of planned Fashion’s Night Out activities in three cities — Beverly Hills, Los Angeles and West Hollywood — within whose borders some 300 assorted and sundry parties, personal appearances, shopping discounts and the like will occur simultaneously.

Beverly Hills

Sixty-seven retailers have signed up to mark FNO in the 90210, which will have a decidedly circus-like atmosphere — thanks to a four-story-tall Ferris wheel set up in the 200 block of North Rodeo Drive. (Rides are free — if you have a proof-of-purchase receipt from one of the evening’s participating stores.)

Among the events scheduled for the evening: at Giorgio Armani, actor Samuel L. Jackson will host an exhibition of his favorite red carpet looks over the years, displayed on mannequins and accompanied by a question-and-answer session with fashion critic Steven Cojocaru from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. (reservations, which can be made at [212] 209-4102, are recommended), Chanel will be offering free manicures with its new collection of polishes, and the Lacoste boutique will be the site of a Wii tennis tournament.

There will be no shortage of parties. Valentino, for example, is having a casino night. DJs Super Mash Bros. will be spinning at Emporio Armani, while DJ Rick Khan has been tapped for Roberto Cavalli‘s bash. Geary’s will host a “gentleman’s lounge” with Scotch, beer, hors d’oeuvres and some heavy-duty models — of Rolex and Patek Phillipe timepieces, that is.

At 6 p.m., a life-size celebrity version of the fashion trivia board game Fashion Rules will begin at the foot of the Ferris wheel on Rodeo, and is set to include singer/actress Kelly Osbourne, “Dancing With the Stars” judge Carrie Ann Inaba, stylist George Kotsiopoulos and Vogue’s West Coast editor Lisa Love.

Tod’s is selling a limited-edition handbag for the event, Salvatore Ferragamo is celebrating its first collection from new Creative Director Massimiliano Giornetti with the launch of his W-bag purse Mikimoto will be featuring pearl-stringing demonstrations and Coach will have artists on hand to customize merchandise.

Organizers also have made sure that Rodeo Drive revelers will be able to fill their stomachs as easily as they empty their wallets, promising the famed thoroughfare will be lined with gourmet food trucks serving a variety of fare including kimchi-topped French fries and architecturally themed ice cream sandwiches.

Beverly Hills’ Fashion’s Night Out, centered on Rodeo Drive, runs 6 to 10 p.m. on Sept. 10. Additional information and updates are available at the Rodeo Drive Committee’s website: http://www.rodeodrive-bh.com/fashionsnightout.html.

Los Angeles

The beige box that dominates the intersection of La Cienega and Beverly boulevards is shaping up to dominate this year’s local FNO efforts — and not just for the benefit of its own tenants.

In partnership with the mayor’s office, the Beverly Center will function as the hub, headquarters and starting point for the city’s FNO events, with free parking (starting at 4 p.m.) and no-cost busses to ferry shoppers to six retail districts centered on Melrose Avenue, Robertson Boulevard, West 3rd Street, Abbot Kinney Boulevard, downtown Los Angeles and Los Feliz.

As befits Hollywood, the night of extended shopping will kick off with red carpet arrivals at the Beverly Center at 4 p.m., as VIPs, celebrities and invitees turning out to hear remarks from the mayor, who is slated to speak at a 5 p.m. news conference alongside Vogue’s Lisa Love, L.A.-based designer Randolph Duke, skateboarder/reality TV star Rob Dyrdek and Black Eyed Peas singer will.i.am.

The Beverly Center has promised the first 100 shoppers a free Fashion’s Night Out Los Angeles T-shirt — designed by FIDM student Marc Blaskovits. (The shirt will be sold at the mall and other participating spots around Los Angeles — including Fred Segal on Melrose, The Grove and Intermix and Udrest, which are both on Robertson, among others — for $15 each. Poceeds will help fund scholarships for fashion students.)

A fashion show of fall looks featuring some of the Beverly Center’s retailers (including Forever 21, Bebe, Ben Sherman and Traffic, among others) will be staged in the mall’s sixth-floor central area at 5:30 p.m. and again at 7:30 p.m. In between, Macy’s is scheduled to host a “Denim Rocks” runway show, highlighting local denim brands, at 6:30 p.m.

In addition Charles David founder Charles Malka is scheduled to do an in-store shoe signing (in the Beverly Center) from 6 to 9 p.m. William Rast co-founders Tracy Ayala and Justin Timberlake will be hosting a sneak peek at their label’s new footwear collection and a special FNO eyewear collectionat the William Rast flagship store at Westfield Century City from 8 to 9 p.m. (Earlier the pair will do the same at the Nordstrom at Santa Monica Place from 6 to 7 p.m.)

Throughout the night, the Fred Segal Center on Melrose promises appearances by Quiksilver‘s surfing team, Devo’s Mark Mothersbaugh (who will sign copies of his book “Beautiful Mutants“) and the guys behind Spirit Hoods, who will be on hand to make sure that any of their animal-shaped hats that are purchased are worn jauntily askew.Taylor Jacobson (formerly with “The Rachel Zoe Project“) will be on hand to offer styling tips from 8 to 10 p.m.

Decadestwo and HauteLook are kicking off a three-day “400 dresses for $400″ event — with a cocktail party featuring special guest designer Alexis Phifer. 6 to 9 p.m.

There’s also some added incentive to pry open the wallet within city limits on Friday night: Anyone (21 and older) who can brandish receipts totaling $25 from a participating Los Angeles FNO retailer will have entrée into a post-shopping fete at SBE’s Industry nightclub, on La Cienega Boulevard,, which will include fashion presentations by some of the designers who call the city home, including Kevan Hall, Sue Wong, Louis Verdad and Petro Zillia’s Nony Tochterman. A second party, at SBE’s XIV, on Sunset Boulevard, subject to the same entrance requirements, will feature fashion-themed drinks. Both bashes will run from 10:30 p.m. to 2 a.m.

Los Angeles’ Fashion’s Night Out festivities are scheduled to run 6 to 10 p.m., with free parking at — and shuttle service from — the Beverly Center for the duration. A full list of participating retailers as well as a printable map, can be found at city’s FNO site: http://www.fno.lacity.org.

West Hollywood

FNO WeHo is a little city going big: The 1.9-square-mile community of West Hollywood had lined up 28 participants, including Chrome Hearts, Vera Wang, Nicole Miller and the Sunset Plaza shopping center, for events, appearances and parties.

A Julia Clancey runway show is slated for the Andaz West Hollywood’s RH bar, James Jean artwork will be on display at the 3.1 Phillip Lim boutique, and, in what will no doubt be one of the evening’s popular spectator sports events, the Andrew Christian underwear boutique will be holding a Twister competition from 8 to 10 p.m. featuring models wearing nothing more than their skivvies.

For shoppers — and aspiring rock gods — who don’t mind dropping $300 at the John Varvatos boutique on Robertson, celebrity rock photographer Robert Knight will be on hand to shoot your portrait.

The Sunset Plaza shopping center is planning a party complete with aural ambience courtesy of live DJs and a runway show of fall fashion from the center’s retailers. (The price of admission is an FNO proof of purchase.)

West Hollywood’s Fashion’s Night Out runs from 6 to 10 p.m., with free shuttle service for the duration. Shuttle information and a full list of participating retailers and events are available at the organizers’ website:http://www.avenueswh.com/events/fno.

Anna Wintour And Marc Jacobs Stay Up Late For Jimmy

Material girl Madonna and her thirteen year old daughter Lourdes have a new line at Macy’s called New Material. And yes, we here at Style Seen Daily have a sneak peak at some of the pieces.

New Material offers clothing, shoes, jewelry and handbags influenced by this pop mugol mom’s 1980s style.  In sum, get ready for loads of lace and girly frills like roses and ruffles.

The line is meant for teenagers (but that isn’t set in stone) and the clothing items are on average less than $40.

So get ready for the 80′s flashback with this line come August 2010, just in time for Madonna’s 52nd birthday (August 16).  We’ll make sure to include it in our Style Seen Daily Showroom as soon as it’s ready for purchase because “you know that we’re living in a material world.”  Well at least Madanna hopes that.

Now there’s a new way for consumers to save money and compare prices while shopping online. Superfish, Inc. announces the beta release of Window Shopper, a free browser add-on that once downloaded, places a mark next to product images on hundreds of online stores. Click on the mark and Window Shopper opens up, instantly showing deals for that product as well as similar-looking alternatives.
The secret to Window Shopper is its proprietary visual search technology. The application first recognizes the image on the site and then instantly finds and presents visually identical or similar images from its huge index of product offers. Their index includes over 30 million products in almost every product category. Superfish expects to expand their index to over 50 million products in a few months.

Window Shopper currently functions on hundreds of U.S. online stores including Amazon.com, Best Buy, Macys, Nordstorm, Overstock.com, Staples, Target, and Wal-mart. More stores will be added weekly.

“With the Window Shopper Add-on, there’s no more jumping around from site to site to compare prices or to find what you want,” says Joe Dew, head of product for Superfish. “If we find a deal, we’ll show it. If we can’t, we’ll show you similar products you may also be interested in.

Although it’s been still in beta, thousands of people have already downloaded Window Shopper in its first few weeks since release.

About Superfish, Inc.

Superfish is a young, privately held startup with headquarters in Silicon Valley. The team is made up of technology enthusiasts and mathematicians who have been working for several years on visual search technology. Our vision is that visual search will one day allow people to use any picture at any time from any place as a search query.
