The Gucci Collector

Have a piece or collection of vintage Gucci and ever pondered how much it might be worth? Well your in luck, Christie's is now offering the very first Gucci-certified online destination for appraising vintage double G products. Here's how it works: a team of experts including Christie's Specialists as well as Gucci's own in-house archivists will assess the item, and Christie's will provide an auction estimate for qualifying submissions. Select owners will have the opportunity to sell their items to Gucci, or in a future Christie's auction, if desired. Sounds like a pretty fab setup. Scour your closets, dust off those G's, you never know what something might be worth.

J'Adore Kate

We adore Kate Schelter and are so excited to see her featured by Vanity Fair. She represents the epitome of girl on-the-go always with class and style, quite de rigueur for House of Lavande. To see more of the fabulous Kate check out her website @ kateschelter.com

who: Kate Schelter. what: Fashion stylist, consultant, and brand builder. where: Photographed at her apartment in Gramercy Park. why: Schelter, whose career path led her from trend reporting, to reporting for Vogue and style.com, to art directing, to styling, to consulting, to brand building, is a regular on the fashion scene. Today she works with brands such as American Express, Zac Posen, and House of Lavande, and she was the founding creative director of Closet Couture. Our guess? You’ll probably spot the always put-together blonde all over street-style blogs during New York Fashion Week. wearing: Her own Yves Saint Laurent trench coat, an Hermés gold bangle, a Tiffany & Co. bracelet, and a silver bracelet from the Musée du Louvre.
