The Big Move: To NYC and OnSugar

Hi DHo Style readers! I have two big announcements to make:

First is that I'm officially moving to my new apartment in New York City in a week. Earlier this month, I began working as an intern and editor for MyItThings.com, an online fashion magazine. The experience has been great so far and there's nothing better than working in one of the biggest fashion capitals of the world.

Secondly, DHo Style will be moving to DHoStyle.OnSugar.com. I've been contemplating my decision to redesign and make-over my blog and I believe this is the best direction for it. I will still write regularly with the latest fashion news and editions of my Beauty Bag.

Wish me luck as I embark on a new adventure in the Big Apple. I'm going to call it... The City: Donna Ho Style. :)

Anna Sui: Gossip Girl-Inspired Collection for Target

There's another designer collaboration for Target coming our way. For all you Gossip Girl lovers, Anna Sui has created a collection inspired by the hit TV show. The line, which consists of nineteen looks is set to be in stores and online on September 13. Take a look at some of the looks here. From Blair's bows to Vanessa's hippie-chic pieces, I can't wait to get my hands on these items!

Run-in with Tim Gunn!

Update: Here is the photo of me with Tim Gunn and my friend Lauren from the Syracuse University Juried Fashion Show in NYC. I'm such a fan and still can't believe I met him!



Last week, I had the honor of meeting the famous Tim Gunn from Project Runway. I took a picture with him and will post it as soon as I get it from a friend's camera. In the meantime, enjoy this wonderful video of Tim Gunn's confrontation with Santino from Season 2 of Project Runway.

My Summer '09 Fashion Picks

Summer has really just begun and that also means so has the beginning of the shopping season. Here are my top picks for summer '09.
Need I even say anything? This Banana Republic Floral Fringe Cuff ($55) speaks for itself. I always love layering bangles and cuffs and this version would be a great addition on my wrist. It's pretty and powerful.

I still have yet to purchase this season's popular trend-- the maxi dress. But not to worry, there is plenty of time to wear this goddess-like look. My pick? A Frenzii Strapless Maxi Dress in Fuchsia ($128).

And finally on my wish list is this Rebecca Minkoff Supernova Stud Devote Handbag ($695). The tan color, soft leather, and studs are irresistible. With the hefty price tag, I may have to wait on this one. If anyone wants to contribute to my handbag fund, please contact me.

Weekend Cool: Memorial Day '09

I still don't have plans for Memorial Day but either way, I know what I would want to wear. Whether you're going to a summer barbecue or to the beach, the options are endless.

My favorite summer piece are my denim cutoff shorts. Try a pair like these destroyed cut-offs from American Eagle ($34.50) with a button-down shirt (Splendid Gauze Button-Down Shirt, on sale for $64) and some Ray-Ban Aviators (on sale for $80.10) and you'll look casual cool. As you can see in the post below, this is my go-to outfit.

If you want a dressier option, go ahead and try this season's big trends--the maxi dress and gladiator sandals. Forever 21 has a variety of affordable maxi dresses. I like this simple Kayza Maxi ($24.80) paired with these Lovely People Teeny Sandals ($98). The sliver wedge gives you a little bit of height and the studs are a great addition. Keep jewelry to a minimum with a few gold bangles for a goddess-feel and you'll be ready for the Memorial Day festivities.

Enjoy your day off!

Beauty Bag: Mani/Pedis

It's summer and the mani/pedi season has begun. No matter the time of the year, I usually paint both my nails and toenails with my staple dark polish, Essie's Wicked.

But I've begun to branch out into lighter and brighter colors for the season and here are my current faves. I just tried Essie's popular "Ballet Slippers" last week and absolutely loved it! I can understand why women love the pale-pink color-- it goes with everything.

My other favorite color for the season is OPI's "OPI Red." Red is of course a classic nail color and this version is the perfect red that will look great with your summer sandals.

Can I Graduate?: Shoes for Graduation

There are three days left until I'm officially a Syracuse University alum and I'm getting excited about the big day. Since I'm going to covered in an ugly navy gown for most of the day, my shoes have to be rockin'.

So I took a trip to DSW last weekend and found these amazing Steve Madden peep toe heels! I'm a huge fan of the nude colored shoes this season and the added ruffles near the toe make me feel extra girly. What do you think?
