Lauren - Height: 5' 4"
What do you do IRL?
I am the training supervisor for Henry Street Settlement's Peer Training Institute while studying for my Master's in Social Work from NYU. At Henry Street, I instruct teens in important life skills (decision-making skills, relationships, and sexual health), and conduct individual and group counseling. When not at work or in the library, you can usually find me having dinner with friends, at a farmer's market (buying food for dinner with friends), or in a dance studio (before dinner with friends).

Why did you choose this look?
I chose the dress because I felt like a goddess of doom in it. But kind of a sexy, flirty, goddess, as in come and get me if you can. The wedges were a perfect and comfortable compliment to the dress. I love big necklaces, heavy enough so that you know what you're wearing at all times, and this gorgeous one was no exception. I grabbed the clutch as soon as I saw it, not only because it was shiny silver, but also because it brought out the grays in my dress, shoes, and necklace. I thought of the cuff as my piece of flair, if you know what I mean... The lightweight trench and colorful umbrella completed my stylin' outfit for a rainy day.

What she's wearing:

PHAEDRA Dress, Black $298
PARKER Canvas Trench, Pebble $298
KOKO Mini Bag, Steel $298
RAMONE Studded Slim Cuff, Papaya $90
GREENPOINT Cork Wedge, black/grey $228
Medallion necklace*, $135

www.hel-looks.com -- I love how the Finns dress without fear.

Why did you choose this look?
This is the perfect "I look so put together, but really, I just threw this on!" dress. It's very polished but super low-maintenance and the color and fabric are the perfect combination I'm looking for this season; a flattering nude with a pop of bright blue, and it feels flowy and cool in hot humid New York summer! The sandals are perfect for walking around town in style and comfort, and I'm carrying the Conrad in ginger to contrast the flesh-tone palette. The bag is just the right size and has a pocket for everything I need in a snap and converts to a crossbody shape. People are definitely going to be checking out this outfit on the subway platform.

What she's wearing:

PENELOPE Dress, Bisque Boudoir $275
CONRAD Shoulder Bag, Ginger $450
JOEY Wide Cuff, platinum lizard $80
RAMONE Studded Slim Cuff, Black $90
IBIZA Slide, Platinum Lizard $120
ginkgo leaf necklace*, $60

Why did you choose this look?
I am attracted to easy, flowy looks that have a slight edge to them. If I feel romantic one day, I wear more bohemian pieces, but never too pretty. I like edgier looks too, and wearing interesting jewelry -- usually larger pieces that make a statement. My look has to be comfortable, I walk everywhere!

What she's wearing:

FORTUNA Dress, Pebble $308
ZEE Tote, Eucalyptus Colorblock $518
CELINA Signature Cuff, Lagoon $78
ATHENA Sandal, Moonbeam $158
oblik atelier "slight disturbances" necklace*, $185

Kelley Gudahl - Height: 5'3"

What do you do IRL?
I am a Marketing Manager at Gameloft, a video game company. I spend my days playing video games (even though I am no good at them), and trying to convince consumers why they should buy our games. I love everything about New York, especially Brooklyn. I am constantly spending my time discovering new little shops and restaurants that are unique to my neighborhood. I enjoy hanging out with my friends, taking advantage of all the fun free things you can do in NY in the summer time, eating as many sweets as possible, running, reading, collecting shoes and handbags, trying out new recipes (and even creating some of my own) and decorating my tiny studio. Someday I will own a mini dachshund.

Why did you choose this look?
This wrap dress was simple, easy, gorgeous, and comfortable! It goes perfectly well with my easy going lifestyle. The dress can be more casual for day, or paired with some cute heels for a night out. For my day look, I chose some flats/wedges (I am not sure which images you are using so adjust as necessary) that were fun and flirty. The handbag was a clear choice. Which such amazing detailing, the bag was perfect for summer. It's just the right size to carry my sunglasses, money for an ice cream cone with rainbow sprinkles and tiny umbrella in case of an afternoon rainstorm.

What she's wearing:

HELENA Wrap Dress, Papaya Ginkgo $324
ORYX Clutch, Brandy $325
ISKIA Link Wedge, Brandy $238
oblik atelier "folded" ring*, $390
metal frame sunglasses**, $24

*available at both the Brooklyn and the Manhattan Hayden-Harnett retail locations

Kimmie Smith - Height: 5'6"

What do you do IRL?
I'm the Editor in Chief of Kitten Lounge, a site that focuses on fashion, style, beauty, food and music. What started as my initial passion for fashion and music (I am the great niece to the late tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson - but don't ask me to sing) I enjoy bringing people hidden finds, indie designers and musicians as well. This site has taken me to Fashion Week, press events and really allowed me to meet interesting people! I am also the designer of my jewelry line, Kitten Couture which allows you to wear seashell and stone lariats that you can wear the way you want to! Finally, I work with companies as a consultant to integrate Social Media into their plans. This allows me to show them why it's necessary! I love to go out and find the next best place to shop or eat at!

Why did you choose this look?
I chose this look as I like items that can be dressed up or down. I run around a lot and don't have time to change. I love how easy this outfit is. I would wear it just like this to go to an Editor Presentation during the day or to sit with my team to go over the editorial calendar for the following month. But I could wear this out to a party and simply bring a pair of heels with it. The color palette is perfect! I love the pops of color but that it.s not over powering and the light feeling is very whimsical. I love bringing in the grey tones of the bag as it's a great neutral and adds a pop of something in there. Finally, I love the necklace as I always wear pieces that have stone and I am a huge fan of silver. The way it peeks out of the little keyhole is perfect! This is definitely what I would wear to the next Fashion Week as it.s a mixture of a boho style brought to the modern day!

What she's wearing:

PANDORA Flutter Tunic, Painterly Print $308
WYETH Tote, Eucalyptus $725
JOEY Wide Cuff, platinum lizard $80
ATHENA Sandal, Moonbeam $158
agate and gold necklace*, $28

Why did you choose the first look?
I'm really digging the one piece swimsuit trend. This particular style is classy but sexy at the same time. I love the low neckline and ruffle detail. The colorful shoes add an unexpected twist to a solid black suit. I picked out this yellow tote to match my bright yellow nails and bring more fun into the look. I've been gravitating to my yellow nail polish recently, a fun cheerful color for summer that is surprisingly neutral! The silver jewelry is a perfect finishing touch for swimwear when you don't want your accessories to be too overwhelming or heavy.

What she's wearing:

Clio Ruffled Maillot, Black $198
EROL Large Canvas Tote, Sun $155
ISKIA Link Wedge, Blueberry colorblock $238
CELINA Signature Cuff, Moonbeam $78
Brandish 'kraz' pick ring* $80

Why did you choose the second look?
I chose the dress for its feminine and floaty cut. The asymmetrical styling is truly unique. This is an easy piece to throw on and and feel effortlessly glamorous. I'm a big fan of the heel on these sandals, they add just a little height and would go with both casual or dressier looks. The stud detailing is fun and a little punk!

What she's wearing:

PHAEDRA Dress, Crown Blue $298
MATILDA Tote, Steel $488
MERCURY Tie Wedge, Eucalyptus $258
CELINA Signature Cuff, Moonbeam $78
oblik atelier 'the fall' earrings $300
agate and gold necklace*, $28

*available at both the Brooklyn and the Manhattan Hayden-Harnett retail locations

Sneak Peek! Our Spring'09 "MUSE" collection

Hurrah, NYC fashion week! We're just starting to seriously plan our Fall wardrobe and it's already time to consider spring dresses, sandals, and bags for 2009. Yep, the fashion carrot is ever-dangling and looks quite juicy for spring.

Our big news? We're launching shoes and swimwear fit for the muses of Xanadu. My ultimate dream is that Olivia Newton-John would arrive in full Kira/Xanadu regalia and shop in our Greenpoint store and serenade us all...we could rollerskate and hold hands. Olivia is probably the first true muse that I ever latched onto and I'm positive that I've watched the movie Xanadu at least 84 times. Oh, to be that blonde, Australian, and sing-songy. She even has perfect armpits...sigh.

more spring'09 apparel images to come. time to start working on fall'09!
