| Matchbook: A New Online Magazine For Those of Us Who Miss Blueprint Posted: 04 Feb 2011 02:26 PM PST
The success of Lonny, the online-only shelter magazine created by a bunch of out-of-work Domino staffers after the magazine closed, is well-documented. Undoubtedly inspired by Lonny, college friends and co-founders Katie Armour and Jane Lilly Warren decided to launch Matchbook, a online lifestyle mag geared toward the girl who listens to She and Him, wears Kate Spade sparkly flats and desperately, desperately misses Blueprint magazine. Katie, the editorial director, is the lovely blogger behind The Neo-Traditionalist and has also contributed to Lonny. Jane, the creative director, spent the last two years on the creative team at J.P. Morgan’s private bank. We recently chatted with Matchbook‘s masterminds on the who, what, and why of this particular mag. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Our First-Ever Shopping Guide: Toronto! Posted: 04 Feb 2011 01:54 PM PST
We know there are a gazillion shopping guides on the web, but truthfully, none of them give us what we want. So instead of looking to others, we’ve decided to launch a series of city guides ourselves. First up? Toronto. Which city would you like to see profiled next? Email us on tips@fashionista.com. In the 1920s, New Yorkers (and Chicagoans and Detroiters) came to Canada to get their supply of booze. Gangsters like Meyer Lansky, Lucky Luciano and Al Capone made their names, and their millions, with whiskey from the Great White North. A century later, the flow has reversed, and it's no longer barrels of Canadian Club, but bundles of clothing, making its way across the border. Canadian shops are importing the very best of fashion, and not just from their Southern neighbor, but from the most progressive houses that France, Italy, Scandinavia and Japan have on offer. And they're looking inwards as well—farming local talent, and curating one of North America's finest and most eclectic vintage bazaars. Toronto natives Hayley Phelan and John Ortved give us the most from North America's least known fashion capital. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Rafe Gives You More Bag for Your Buck With Nine West Posted: 04 Feb 2011 12:15 PM PST
If Rafe Totengco’s first Nine West collection looks more luxe than you'd expect, it should come as no surprise. It's design. Totengco, who was recently appointed creative director of handbags at Nine West, shared his inspiration for the collection. ""I wanted to make everything look good," said Rafe at the line’s preview yesterday. Mission accomplished. Totengco turned out an elegant collection that included plush fur-trimmed totes and vintage-inspired frame bags, each of which clock in at $99 or less.

| A Review of the Fashion Coverage in The Daily, Rupert Murdoch’s iPad Newspaper Posted: 04 Feb 2011 11:39 AM PST
I was skeptical of The Daily, Rupert Murdoch’s new iPad-only daily newspaper. And I still am. (Read this piece to understand why.) But regardless of my personal feelings towards this new information source, I’ve still been reading it for the last three days. And I’ll admit it–my other half and I will probably buy the 99 cent subscription after the pay wall goes up in a couple of weeks. I love reading free and easy papers like AM New York on the train, and reading it on the iPad is a heck of a lot less intrusive. Like any other paper, there’s an Arts & Life section, featuring two fashion pieces thus far. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Barneys is No Longer Selling Prada Handbags and Ready-to-Wear Posted: 04 Feb 2011 10:42 AM PST
Forget about fashion directors and window dressers. The biggest news coming out of Barneys since CEO Mark Lee came aboard is that the luxury retailer is The Prada handbags section will be replaced by Valextra, a handbag line that’s exclusive to Barneys. (We’re sure you’ve heard of it–they’ve been shilling it like crazy for the past couple of years.) The store will still carry Prada men’s ready-to-wear and Prada shoes for both sexes.

| Ayla, the Shopping Site Devoted to Natural Skin Care, Launches Posted: 04 Feb 2011 08:30 AM PST
Does the world need another beauty e-commerce site? Dara Kennedy, a Harvard MBA and full-on skin care junkie, thinks so. Dara worked in beauty for a good chunk of her career before becoming an entrepreneur. She worked at Interbrand, was on the founding team of Living Proof, helped Marcia Kilgore launch Soap & Glory Cosmetics, and launched four product lines for Elizabeth Arden. So she knows the market well. Her site, Ayla, will have a soft launch this Monday, February 7. The focus is entirely skin care. Dara is a certified yoga instructor and passionate about natural products. However, she also puts efficacy high on the priority list. "Sometimes the naturals work and sometimes they don't," she told me. Therefore, you'll find naturals and organics next to clinical formulas that are still safe. At launch, the site will offer Luzern, Peter Thomas Roth, Naturopathica, and the UK's The Organic Pharmacy–which is an online exclusive for Ayla and quite a coup for the site–among others.

Call it a one trick pony if you want, but JNBY's mutli-functional gimmick is one trick that works. For their spring season, they've rolled out a fresh new batch of pullovers, furs, and pants that can be worn more ways than you can wear a YSL Tribute pump. The line, conceived by collective of twelve designers in Asia, debuted in the US in late 2009. They are hoping to duplicate the huge following they enjoy in China and judging from the recent collection, it's going to happen. Check out out favorite pieces from the collection.
