The Perfect Pair

Monday, March 28th, 2011

We recently received a shipment from two of my favorite designers, Vera Wang & Versace, so we decided to team up these coveted luxury labels and bring you one exciting Sale Spotlight. Vera Wang, best known for her wedding designs, got her start in fashion at Vogue. She was the senior fashion editor there for sixteen years and decided to leave the company when she lost the editor-in-chief position to Anna Wintour. Five years later, she opened a design salon in the Carlyle Hotel in NYC. Wang has custom designed gowns and costumes for countless celebrities, athletes and political figures. She now has several different collections, ranging from The Vera Wang China and Crystal Collection to a diffusion line called Simply Vera (which is sold exclusively by Kohl’s). Versace is an Italian fashion label founded by Gianni Versace in 1978. When Gianni was killed in 1997, his sister, Donatella, stepped in as creative director and his brother, Santo, became CEO. As wished by Gianni in his will, Donatella’s daughter, Allegra, received half of the company in 2004 and now has final say in all of the important decision’s of the clothing line. From gorgeous silk dresses and floral print frocks to chic asymmetrical jackets and fun ruffled jumpers, shop from a variety of styles and save up to 81% off on these two prestigious designers. Below are three pieces I’m loving right now. Enjoy!

Effortlessly Elegant.

Thursday, March 24th, 2011

Last week I went on vacation with my best friend of twelve years. We had a very in depth conversation about the way women dress and the one statement that really resonated with me is when he said, “It’s all about being effortlessly elegant.” Now by no means is he into fashion (at all), but it really made me stop and think. Women dress fashionable for other women, but when you are dressing to attract a guy, they (and I mean most, there are always exceptions) don’t want the ripped up jeans, liquid leggings, jumpsuits, neon dresses, etc., etc. They want simple, classy, chic. So for today’s Sale Spotlight, I wanted to highlight three lines that I think really fit this description. DVF (my first real “splurge” other than on designer denim), Cynthia Steffe and Maisonette all offer stunning styles that flatter a woman’s body and are appropriately stylish. And most of them can effortlessly seam the gap between 9 to 5 and 5 to 9. Below are three styles I’m loving right now. What are your thoughts on my new “revelation”?

The Must Have Accessory…

Thursday, March 10th, 2011

I just realized that recently I have been blogging a lot about accessories…however, I truly do believe that they can make or break an outfit. This season, we are seeing every fashion must-have in a vibrant, colorful hue and watches are no exception. Glam Rock has always been one of my favorite timepiece labels and now more than ever, I am lusting after these fun and fabulous pieces of arm candy. I am not sure I can rock the neon watch all day long, but the Miami Fuchsia Silicon Watch adds a playful twist to any night-out ensemble. For work, I like to tone it down just a tad with the Palm Beach Leopard Watch (animal prints are hot right now too), and when I’m running around town, the Gulfstream Chronograph White Watch has just the right amount of eye-catching appeal.
