The rose gold metal bracelets she’s created are just heavenly. I can’t picture myself wearing the traditional 38+ of them at one time but I can picture myself coordinating a couple of these bracelets with an India styled dress I bought from Anthro in 2000. I love designs which are culture-themed (especially those different from …
Oscar de la Renta
He’s a superb designer. I haven’t had the pleasure of owning anything from his line. The tulle gown below is fit for royalty and I’m drooling over the cardigan with fur trim. *Photocredit: Gilt
Kate Spade
Kate Spade first caught my glance in 2000. I loved her organizers and refills. Her “Sam” bag was also really nice, but too bulky for my use. I would describe her style mostly as an American classic though I know she has some designs which I would also describe as trendy. I love the calfskin …
Gypsy 05, Notte by Marchesa, Michael Kors
Three really terrific dresses I saw over this weekend while online browsing. I especially love the Gypsy 05 black faded ombre with foil leaf print on Jessica Alba. Her coordinating accessories are a grey-silver cotton scarf, Matt Bernson gold gladiator sandals (not shown in pic below), and what I believe is a Prada shirred lambskin …
Dreaming of Warm Summer Days
Haha, now I’m going to chat about tees… again thinking warm thoughts on this snowy day… my husband introduced me to Topo Ranch. I received the cutest stocking stuffer from him (the “Hotdoggin” Tee). It depicts a rolly polly hot dog on a push reel lawn mower (see below). Palmer Cash and 80stees are other …
Why We Love Junior Drake
I’m not sure if Bloomies was one of the first stores to carry this brand but that’s where I first saw it (in Bloomies Soho). I loved my first bag- a bag with a little edginess and western allure. It was different from any other I ever owned at the time. They are usually very …
Christian Louboutin Shoes
His designs are so sexy! I’m not sure if they are comfortable or not since I haven’t had the pleasure of walking in a pair. I’ve found through experience that not all high heels are painful to walk in. The chunkier heels I imagine are probably slightly better than stiletto heels. I remember when his …
Isharya Accessories
Really terrific mixed media. These wood and metal accessories make a nice combo. They are more of “casual dress” items for me but I do suppose one can dress them up by pairing them with a solid black dress. There’s also a pretty collection of turquoise jewelry by Isharya. I’m very particular about turquoise jewelry …
Notte by Marchesa, Mint by Jodi Arnold, & Adam
Pretty designs by Notte by Marchesa, Jodi Arnold, and Adam… I love Arnold’s silk floral fabrics. Anthropologie recently carried one of her dresses. I bought it at a bargain for $45.00 off their sales rack at Roosevelt Field Mall in Franklin Square, Long Island. The original belt was missing; I’m using a soft long black …
Ode To Cropped Jeans
7 for All Mankind rocks. I love their Dojo design- simple yet chic. It’s wintry and not the best weather to bring them out but I’ve been wearing them anyway with tall boots. Their cropped jeans are mildly flared at the bottom. The cut is just right for me. It’s not that easy to find …
