You Can Get Your hands On The Cutest USB Drive ever!!!!!

12 Mar

A couple of years back Fendi  jumped on the cute USB drive bandwagon.  Not only did they make a super cute USB drive, they made the cutest one EVER!!!!!! A mini Fendi Baguette bag!  fendi 2

Needless to say they were literally GONE within weeks of release…. until now- well sort of.  There is an ACTIVE listing on Ebay for one of these cuties right now, so if you were desperate for one of these a looooong time ago now is your chance to get your hands on one- that is of course if you outbid the rest of the world.  Don’t shoot the messenger here I’m just trying to help my fellow Fendi lovers out!  I know there’s only one available, but hey the odds are way better than winning the Lotto!  Bid HERE and hurry because the listing ends in 3 days.

Metallic Pumps On Any Budget! Get Some!

7 Mar

Metallic pumps were everywhere during “fashion month”, mostly the pointed closed toe version which is universally flattering!  I’ve always been a fan of metallic hued heels especially during the Holiday season but now I’m all for spicing up my wardrobe with these glitzy heels year round!  Why not???  They’re great for Spring and totally work with anything, from colors to prints to neutrals. They add an instant pizazz to any outfit!

IIIBeca by Joy Gryson Handbag Collection!

5 Mar

As you all know, I love a great handbag! Handbags complete your look and carry your “life” around for you!  What more can a woman want?  Once in a while a handbag comes around that has quality construction and is accessible to most budgets! Handbag designer Joy Gryson’s line IIIBeca is exactly that!  Not a single bag in the collection is over $200- talk about accessible!  I might be going out on a limb here when I say this, but these bags can hang with Hermès and Valextra creations in my opinion! ( Go ahead….google Valextra bags right now) The craftsmanship is impeccable and the clean, classic silhouettes are timeless!  You will own these bags for a loooooong time!  Ok~ now onto my other delightful piece of information about this collection…….. 3% of the proceeds go to three different NYC charities chosen by Gryson herself for a total of 9% being donated from the sale of each bag!  How cool is that?

Below are my favorite styles in the collection.

PFW Stella McCartney F/W 2013!

4 Mar

With her dad watching from the front row, Stella McCartney presented her Fall/Winter 2013 collection today in Paris!  She didn’t stray too far from her sporty chic aesthetic! The collection had somewhat of a tailored menswear feel to it including oversized coats, tailored pieces, plaids and stripes.  I was not feeling the clunky shoes but overall I liked the fun and funky collection!

PFW Balenciaga F/W 2013!

28 Feb

Alexander Wang owned his new creative director role at Balenciaga as he presented his highly anticipated debut collection for the French fashion house today in Paris.  Wang played it somewhat safe as he paid homage to the label by “going back to the archive”( a sign of respect among fashion’s elite). The very wearable collection had some of the usual Wang street vibe to it but was very graceful and chic- So Balenciaga!  Wang incorporated his own special touches of texture and some marble prints into the mostly black and white palette. The highlight for me was the shoes.  I particularly loved the “T” strap and “V” strap heels!

This collection silenced many nay sayers and left the supporters hungry for more, which is exactly what a young designer strives for!  Bravo Mr. Wang! Cheers to a job well done!

Look For Less!

27 Feb

I love love love Tory Burch if you haven’t already notice.  She has some of the best accessories on the market in my opinion.  Her designs are well made and timeless,  I love that you can buy a Tory Burch bag and carry it for a decade or more!  I recently came across a bag at Target that looked strikingly familiar to the  Tory Burch 797 satchel, a beautiful bag!  If you can afford the 797 satchel that’s great but if you can’t, this Target bag is a stylish alternative for those on a budget! Both bags are gorgeous and the links are below! Happy shopping!

Tory Burch 797 satchel $650 at Tory Burch.
