Marc Jacobs Leaving Louis Vuitton!

2 Oct

Today my friends, marks the end of an era. 16 years after launching ready to wear for Louis Vuitton, Creative Director Marc Jacobs announced his departure from the iconic fashion house after today’s Spring ’14 show in Paris.  Let’s give credit where credit is due!  Louis Vuitton was mostly known for handbags and trunks before Jacobs stepped into the picture.  He literally made louis Vuitton the “fashion” brand that it is today.   I mean, he single handedly reinvented the designer collaboration!!!  Hello Takashi Murakami!!!! I was on a 6 month waiting list for my black rainbow Speedy bag! This really is a sad sad day in fashion:( I absolutely loved how Marc took the reins and ran with them and never looked back or cared what anybody had to say- in turn he helped Louis Vuitton experience their most profitable years to date!  Jacobs will focus on his own fashion lines with his “spare time”.

MJ                                                                                                                       Bravo Marc!!!!!  You were ALL THAT and then some!

Milan Fashion Week is coming to an end and the Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2014 collection was an AMAZING way to wrap up the week!  It was the usual flamboyant yet feminine collection that the talented design duo always brings us. Flowers, lace and intricate embellishments were everywhere…… and the golden finale was breathtaking!!! This was hands down my favorite collection from Milan fashion week!

Look For Less!!!! Valentino Rockstud Heels!

22 Aug

Hello hello! I’m here with a VERY exciting look for less!!!!! I have found a pair of heels that look almost identical to the fuchsia Valentino Rockstud pumps!  A little birdie named Emily who writes The Sweetest Thing turned me on to these pretty pumps!  I saw them on her and assumed they were Valentino Rockstuds because quite frankly-they looked just like them……turns out they are from Torrid- the store for full-figured fashionistas!  I didn’t even know they sold shoes!  After finding out the scoop on these, I quickly checked online only to find that had size 10 and Up:(  So I called my local Torrid store and they had more sizes!!!!!!!!!   I just had to share this with you all!!!!! Good luck finding your own pair!

Valentino Rock stud heels $945 available at Saks.  They come in a high or a low height!

Pink studded pump $44.50!!!!!!!!! and right now they ARE ON SALE FOR ONLY  $22.48!!!!!!!!  I mean…..it doesn’t get any better than that!   Whether you would never spend a thousand bucks on heels or  totally would and just want to test out the studded Torrid heels to see if you may want the Valentino’s later, these shoes are for you!!!!!

The Torrid version is a shorter heel but at this price who the heck cares!???!!!!! and furthermore, even if  I only get 3 wears out of these bad boys, that’s good enough for me!!!!

P.S. while I was at Torrid, I noticed they had the cutest bracelets although they were way too big for my wrist, but SPREAD the word to your full-figured friends, if they have a hard time finding bracelets that actually fit, they need to try Torrid!

Jennifer Aniston’s Sartorial Switch Up!

16 Aug

The title says it all,  Miss Aniston  stepped out in something other than black recently at the London premier of her latest movie, we’re the Millers.  The navy floral frock is very different from what she normally wears and although it is very “young” there’s something about it that I like.  Perhaps I’m just happy to see her spreading her fashion wings and with that body, she can pull almost anything off!
