White Watches Are Here to Stay

When I bought myself a white watch last year I never dreamed I would use it as often as I do. I thought it would just be a fun accent piece for some ensembles and occasions. Turns out, a white watch goes with just about everything and works for all seasons not just summer.

Fendi Ceramic Bracelet Watch ($995) A luxe watch with a white ceramic strap.

Toy Watch USA Mother of Pearl Chrono Acrylic Watch ($275) A light weight white and clear acrylic strap watch for men or women.

D&G by Dolce & Gabbana Popular Watch ($175) A white leather strap watch accented with pave crystals, casual yet elegant.

Any of these fabulous watches would work well with a simple jeans and tell outfit. Wear a white watch with a little black dress or another monochromatic outfit.

If you haven’t bought yourself a white watch yet, you need to get one! And if you already have one, these white watches below will make a great gifts as well. All of the watches above can be purchase through the Neiman Marcus website.

Feeling a Little Superficial?

Ashley Shute — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 22:57:35 +0000

I love the days when I wake up and just feel perfect. My hair is right, I don’t feel fat, and I know what I have on just looks hot. Oh, and of course I didn’t mess up my eyeliner (because I am horrible at eyeliner… there’s a reason I don’t write about make-up).

If you’re having a perfect day and feel like flaunting it then this D&G Supermodel tee could be the perfect topper to the day. Although, I don’t know how many “perfect” days I would have to have to justify spending $125 on this 100% crewneck top that has ” “Supermodel” ” written on it in what looks to be a big bold and boring almost sans serif font (fact of the day…sans serif means without feet.).

How many perfect days would you have to have to buy one of these tops?

Bright As The Sun Skirt

Ashley Shute — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 02:45:21 +0000

You know those days…the days when you just feel like getting dressed up. Those days when you pick out a perfect skirt and a perfect top, and of course, the best heels in the world and nothing can stop you. Then you walk into whatever room you’re going to and someone says “Well, why are you so dressed up?

My answer would be, “well, because this D&G Yellow Floral Silk Ruffle Skirt was just so cute I felt like getting dressed up for you. ” And it brightens up my day, like the sun.

It is so yellow thait makes me want to do a little Miss Sunshine dance (is there a Sunshine dance?) This skirt is silk with a chiffon trim and 18 inches long. The 18 inches makes it almost work appropriate (almost!) It is $273 from Bluefly.com

What do I do? My Sunglasses Broke!

Ashley Shute — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 23:23:13 +0000

My world almost came to a theoretical end early last night on my way out of my office. My sunglasses broke. It was their time, but it was sad. I almost shed a tear. Thing was, they were from Wal-Mart. I’m a Luxury Fashion blogger, you would think I would own a pair of nice sunglasses! Think again!

So, I started shopping online, and this weekend, I’m taking the time to go and buy some good Spring sunglasses. I haven’t decided which ones, but I think some of these would be good for me, and for everyone else come the new Spring season.

Versace Round Sunglasses ($198)

For the days when I don’t feel like trying hard. This is what I will wear. These glasses are plastic, but also scream luxury with the Versace logo on the edge. They are 100% tinted (which means 100% protection!)

Rock & Republic Maverick Sunglasses

Well, aren’t we all just sick of that word, Maverick, after the 2008 Presidential election? This pair of sunglasses will make me forget about the memories of the word and make me feel like a rock star when I put them on. They are an aviator style with a rebellious skull cut out in the middle (how daring for me!) 100% tinted and 100% protection! They are $285.

D&G Dolce & Gabbana Script Logo Sunglasses ( $170)

If the Maverick sunglasses made me feel like a rock star then these Dolce & Gabanna sunglasses make me feel like a socialite. Check out that crazy logo on the size. I mean, do I really need that much bling in my sunglasses? After some hard days at work I might! These are also an aviator style with 100% UV protection.

Marc Jacobs Script Square Sunglasses ($98)

The least expensive on my choices. Of course anything is going to be more expensive then my pair of Wal-Mart sunglasses. These are classic, much like the Versace sunglasses. They have a graduated tint, so you can go incognito, but still keep an eye on things.

perfect love cuff from Dolce & Gabbana

I love the sentiment engraved onto this set of stainless steel bangle bracelets from D&G:

The black bangle reads “the perfect love is right around the corner”. Sweet, no?
