Baby it’s Cold Outside! Time for a Sweater!

admin — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 02:36:33 +0000

It has finally gotten cold enough where I am from to bring out the sweaters and socks. For that reason, I’ve decided it’s time to start sweater shopping! Now, if only I could find a way to wear this MARC by Marc Jacobs Raleigh Sequence Sweater everyday! The wool sweater comes with row after row of these sequins along with a hook closure that make it a lot fancier than my everyday plain cotton sweater that I wear to work.

This would be a great addition to the closet of the girl who needs something to go over the LBD or in addition to a pair of classic black pants and some classic strappy shoes.

Saks Fifth Avenue has this listed at $548.00.

Free People Ensemble

admin — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 01:56:49 +0000

One of my newest favorite stores is Free People. One of their stores just recently opened closed to my house so I’ve been in and out of there at least three times since it opened in late October. So, now that I’ve found a new home away from home, I’ve decided to save up for this amazing outfit:

Cords and Lurex Skirt

Zebra Tee

Snuggle Bear Henley

Veronica Studded Harness Boots

The Chords and Lurex Skirt is priced at $98.

The Zebra Tee is $48.

The Snuggle Bear Henely is $98.

Veronica Studded Harness Boots are $278.

Your grand total will be $522.

The reason why I love this outfit is because of the splashes of color throughout the layers as well as the boots. Oh my gosh! The boots!

Cozying Up in a Vince Striped Sophie Long Sweater

admin — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 12:16:27 +0000

Since wrapping up in a cardigan or long sweater usually results in a cocoon-like silhouette sans feminine lines, adding a sleek belt is the simplest way to highlight that hourglass figure and stay comfortably toasty as temperatures drop.

This Vince Striped Sophie Long Sweater offers a fine mix of cashmere, wool, and alpaca–the three little sheep that have offered their coats to keep you warm and cozy for the season–the contrast knit of black and carbon makes it a great addition for the grey ensembles decking your closet.

The sweater features dropped shoulder seams and large dolman sleeves; layering is a cinch, and you can even make use of the unstructured hood when the rain starts ‘a pouring.

Ruffled accents and necklines from Edwardian days are heading straight into Fall this year, so don’t forget to sparkle and shine with your history lesson.

This Anna Sui Sparkle Sleeveless Top is ideal for a night on the town–sequins and lace, all tied up with black chiffon and crystal detailing. The perfect accompaniment to a special toast.

Cheers.

One Theory on Global Style

When karate class is over, a black belt of different sorts might be a more realistic venture.

The classic kimono has transformed into dresses, tunic tops, and nightgowns for the year, and this Kimono Top by Theory pulls together a fresh look with wide leg pants and waist-defining top. Flared sleeves and a cowel neckline bring it together for a figure-flattering silhouette.

Since super-wide belts are making their mark on the season’s trends, it’s one way to kick some Eastern inspiration into your closet:

Another step to sharing your global personality. . .

. . .or just impress that handsome karate class partner

Theory Kimono Top: $255 available at Neiman Marcus

Make It A Versace Date Night

admin — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 16:05:00 +0000

When date night rolls around and there’s still no chic outfit in sight, the camisole top is a valuable backup plan–just one way to accomodate for those, ‘but what will I wear?’ moments as you dig through the closet.

Since the dress-me-up Fairy Godmother is clearly nowhere to be found, Versace’s magic wand bring us this: the Versace Gathered Camisole Top in 100% viscose and a discreet side zipper to squeeze yourself in.

The gathered bust flatters the neckline better than any v-neck in town, and the crisscross back makes this a cut above the average tank top.

Plus, it offers plenty of support – holding you together should the Big Date turn awry. . .

Not Your Grandmother’s Cardigan

admin — Sat, 14 Jul 2007 18:32:52 +0000

Sequins are making a fast flash forward into Fall this year (apologies for that tongue twister), and there’s no reason to cut corners with the season’s cardigans and wraps.

The Lisli Tiffany Sequin Cardigan is a lightweight, hand-sewn piece with ¾ sleeves and barely-there collar. A nice addition to rich brown pants for the evening, or a showstopping addition to some dark wash denim.

And you thought sequins were just for the prom; this one’s available in a delectable champagne beige.

Bloomingdales, $498
