Hervé Alert!

Hervé Leger is hotter than ever, and Decades has two spectacular dresses to satisfy that fix! The first, a beatiful V-neck viscose evening dress, features a sporty twist with bandaging across the back. The second is truly sexy, though, combining black floral lace with Leger's signature viscose. We're truly scouring the globe to bring you these collectible dresses, but we can't keep them in stock!

100,000 Hits!

This week marked a very special moment for the Decades blog... after 14 months, we've already received an incredible 100,000 hits! Many thanks to our clients from around the world for continuing to support Decades.

To celebrate this occasion, we're adding two more items to our Hermès "Luxe-a-Roll." This bowling bag-style purse with a hideaway compartment at the base carries on the Hermès legacy of handbags large enough to hold nation-states, with just enough room for makeup compact to boot. We're wild about the color combo, a chic ochre/navy. SOLD

If, for some reason, you don't need to carry a full half of your earthly possessions with you at a given moment, Hermès also presents you with this fashionable suede clutch in slate. The ornamental "H" hardware is set on a wood button closure.

Christina and Jada Rock Looks from Decades

As much fun as the Emmys were, the red carpet just keeps getting safer and safer... after awhile, the most you can muster is a yawn! Not so with the next two Hollywood glamour girls. First up is indie darling Christina Ricci, seen sporting a new 'do in a white Hervé Leger bandage dress at a recent event in Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, actress Jada Pinkett-Smith stole the pre-show at "The Kingdom" premiere in a fuchsia Yves Saint Laurent tuxedo ensemble, c. 1980s. Jada's a perennial favorite here, and she pulls off this brilliant piece effortlessly (Fashion Week Daily agrees). Both gals found their sexy digs at Decades!

Stars Rock the Emmys, Decades Style!

Hollywood kicked off the awards show season tonight in style with the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards at the Shrine Auditorium! As always, there were fashion hits and misses; but there were some real standouts, and they came from Decades! Before you can even ask, "what were they wearing?," we're here with the answers...

Actress and model Rebecca Romijn of ABC's "Ugly Betty" exuded sophistication and classic Hollywood sex appeal in a Guy Larouche Haute Couture drop-waist beaded tank gown with sway skirt from the 1970s.

Actress Rachel Griffiths, nominated for her role as Sarah Whedon on ABC's "Brothers & Sisters," rocked out in a Chanel Haute Couture by Karl Lagerfeld bustier dress, c. 1980s.

Hostess with the mostest Stacy London, style correspondent for "Access Hollywood" and star of TLC's "What Not To Wear," glammed it up in a crimson Estevez swag dress, c. 1970s.

Of course, we'd be remiss if we didn't acknowledge one of our favorite couples of the evening: Portia de Rossi, who wore a spectacular serpant gown by Azzaro by Vanessa Seward with Boucheron square-cut diamond studs, and Ellen DeGeneres, who spiffed up a classy tux jacket with Boucheron's signature Delilah woven gold and diamond-studded necklace. Brava, ladies!
