Versatile Clutch

24 Dec

If you follow my Facebook page you know that I promised to share the details of my fun new clutch with studded cuff detail.  Well I’m sharing!!!!!!!!  This bag is really cool because it’s less than $50, can be carried as a plain clutch, with attached bracelet or as a cross body bag with attached long chain strap.  It’s also a nice pebbled texture.  So far I’ve worn it with the bracelet attached and as a cross body bag and received numerous compliments on it both times.  It’s a perfect little size(11″x 6″ x 1″ deep)to fit everything while keeping its flat-non bulky shape.  I purchased this clutch from  Nastygal for $48. Since then Nordstrom has started carrying it and it’s $42 on their website.

Dream Ring….

13 Dec

Let me start by saying this is a “dream” ring……I’ve lusted after this ring for a while now and finally saw it in person…..WOW! Fireworks!  Amazing! Beautiful!  NO I did not buy it, it’s over $6,000 after taxes!  The only rings I own that have that many zeros in the price are on my left ring finger (with the exception of some eternity bands)!  However if I did have an extra $6,000+ bucks lying around to shell out on a “fun” ring, I would snatch this beauty up in a heartbeat!  If you’re looking to really treat yourself and can afford it, this ring is for you! It is so unique, dainty and sparkly!

Leaf ring is available in 18k yellow, white or rose gold encrusted in baguette and round diamonds Anita Ko $5,760.

Let’s get to the pics so we can lust together!

The Must Have Convertible Bag!

10 Dec

Rebecca Minkoff has long had an amazing accessories collection!  Her Original MAC (morning after clutch) has been a HIT among fashionistas worldwide. The great thing about the bag is that it can be worn three ways…with a single long strap for cross body wear, with the strap doubled for shoulder wear or with the strap removed completely for wear as a clutch.  Soon after the original bag was flying off shelves the designer added a mini size to the collection and New this Fall, Minkoff added her latest installment of the collection, The MAC daddy bag, which is the biggest of all three bags and comes complete with a padded inner pocket to hold an iPad or tablet!  They come in practically every color of the rainbow and the hardware ranges from silver to rose gold to gun-metal and more. These MAC bags in any size are a great addition to any handbag collection!  Available at Zappos and Rebecca Minkoff.

Original MAC ($295) 11″ x 7 1/2 ” x 2″

Mini MAC ($195) 8 1/4″ x 6 1/2 ” x 1 3/4″

Alexander Wang Rocco Bag Review!

28 Nov

Hey guys, I hope you’re doing amazing today. As you all know I did a post on the Alexander Wang Rocco bag with rose gold hardware in early October……I must admit, I  quickly became obsessed!!!!  I ended up caving after about 2 weeks (the fastest I have caved for any handbag) and treated myself to the bag.  Needless to say I LOVE IT and have been wanting to do a review on it and have gotten quite a few requests to do so as well….soooooo today while shooting some pictures for my OOTD on Instagram I took a couple extra shots of the bag to share with you and wanted to talk about a couple of things that I’ve noticed are missing from a lot of other Rocco reviews.

*The bag is beautiful OBVIOUSLY!  * I love the top handles in addition to a shoulder strap although it’s NOT long enough for cross body wear.  * I love the pebbled leather  * I love love love the rose gold hardware, matches a lot of my jewelry, namely my wedding set:) * the rose gold is a very nice tone, not the overpowering ultra cheesy pink shade that some rose gold hardware can have. * heavy-duty and very well made bag* the trademark studded bottom is very cool without being too crazy * the bag has the feel of the LV Speedy with a little more edge

NOW onto the 2 most important points…

1.CON: This bag is HEAVY! I’m talking 4 pounds!!!! EMPTY!  I personally don’t mind it but I know some of you might.

2. PRO: This bag has 2 “secret” pockets outside of the bag……I use one for keys, one for phone & lipstick. I like accessing my phone, keys etc without having to dig around the bottom of the bag.

There you have it…..overall my only con is the weight of the bag, everything else wonderful!!!!!! If you’re on the fence about this bag…..I say go for it!  It will be in your collection for decades to come!

A closer look at the bag….(Retails for $1,000)

Cap Toe Shoes Are Here To Stay

9 Sep

Cap toe heels were spotted everywhere this Summer, and the trend is moving along right into Fall.  This style is called “cap toe” for the piece of material that covers just the toe of the shoe.  Not only have they been spotted on major runways- Chanel, Salvatore Ferragamo and Yves Saint Laurent but celebrities have gone cap toe crazy as well. Cap toe styles are sleek and chic and can be worn with most anything from dresses to pants. Not a heel girl?????? No problem!  This trend works no matter what shoe style you prefer.  The cap toe translates well from heels to flats.
