I’m a big fan of Tory Burch clothes, handbags, shoes and most recently, eyewear. Her eyewear collection just launched recently online at ToryBurch.com and at all Tory Burch stores.
If you love Tory Burch as much as I do, you’ll be excited to find out that you have an opportunity to win a trip to Paris that includes a Tory Burch wardrobe.
You can enter the Tory Burch holiday sweepstakes daily to have a chance to win a grand prize trip to Paris for two. The trip includes three nights at the Hôtel Fouquet’s Barrière, dinner for two at Le Diane, a …read more

If you are into plaid this season, check out this tank dress on sale right now at Nordstrom. This swingy dress features an empire waist and flirty style. You can wear it over leggings, skinny jeans or tights. Add a cropped cardigan for cool mornings.
This fully lined 213 Industry plaid dress was originally priced at $118.00, but right now it’s on sale for just $46.40.
Another plaid dress on sale is this Quiksilver Plaid Shirtdress. It’s marked down from $78.00 to only $51.90, also at Nordstrom. The dark plaid print is a fantastic choice for fall/winter.

Though we are getting set to head into winter, it’s fun to look at some of the hot trends for Spring/Summer 2010. One thing that is obvious when you view the resort collections is that it’s all about color. Today let’s look at some gorgeous apparel in bold, colorful prints.
Blumarine Floral Print Dress ($1,830)
Definitely too pricey for my pocketbook, the pretty floral print dress is just adorable. It features a scooped neckline, snap belt and straight skirt. Get this dress (and the other items below) at NeimanMarcus.com.
Thakoon Print Pleated-Neck Top ($790)
This amazing top features a watercolor ikat print and an …read more

During party season, we are all tempted to spend a small fortune on dresses, trips to the salon and sparkling jewelry. However in tough economic times, it’s just not smart to splurge on a luxurious, expensive dress for every event and party. That’s why we have to shop smart — take advantage of sales, scour the sample sale sites, and hit local thrift shops.
If you haven’t checked out GUESS lately, it’s a fantastic time to shop. They have terrific prices on accessories, handbags, shoes and apparel. The G by GUESS holiday collection offers pretty party looks that are adorable and …read more

About a year ago, I was at a bar – of all places – and saw a friend’s shoes. She revealed to me they were from a line named Melissa, and beside being crazy adorable, they were like NOBLE.
Noble, you say? Yes. Because while I was admiring how cute they were, I discovered they were plastic!
Brazilian brand Melissa has informed me that plastic is indeed fantastic.
(And honestly, Brazil is like the capital of plastic surgery, the Brazilian blowout, Brazilian bikini waxes…are we surprised?)
Every pair is manufactured out of a patented Meflexo material that is thermo-malleable, flexible, and soft to the …read more

There’s a significant part of me who wants to do nothing today but sleep as the rain taps upon my window.
It’s nasty in NYC, and a Saturday, so it’s technically within my right to do…nothing at all. And I just might. But instead, here’s some fun shopping to help take the dreary day doldrums away!
I’m really smitten with the sexy Galliano styles on sale at Rue La La (my fave from the collection pictured at left).
As usual, the weekends have abbreviated lists, but here’s some good ones going on today:
Galliano

As in her outerwear is on sale at ideeli! And I need a new coat. That, my friends, is known as kismet. Betsey’s coats are embellished with fabulously feminine accents, such as bow backs, heart snap-buttons, and flirty zipper charms. Le sigh. I’m so there.

There’s some great stuff today – including for the home, and tons for your man.
My major picks below are the Waterford and Puma sales (essentials!), but we cannot shun Juicy or American Retro. Or the super-luxe Bellino sheets (pictured). Le sigh.
