Daily Pick: DV by Dolce Vita’s silver sandal

December 22, 2009

0

This DV by Dolce Vita ‘Carly’ silver sandal ($112.00) is an overachiever in the land of women’s shoes. Why you ask? A. The ’silver bullet’ effect, aka metallic leather, combined with studding detail is spot on with current trends in fashion. Next we have the lace-up front that cinches both sides of cut-out leather in [...]

The Top 10: Party Dresses all under $150

December 20, 2009

1

‘Tis the season of cocktail parties. Dresses are like jeans for me. I’m always on the lookout for a great little black party dress or something to add into the mix. The whole, wait-until-three-days-before-the-event to get a frock situation really doesn’t fit into the agenda these days. I went on the fashion hunt for a few party [...]

Daily Pick: Pour la Victoire suede peep toe pump

December 18, 2009

I’m crazy about these grey, suede peep toe ‘Bianca’ pumps ($155.26 from $279.95, plus free shipping). The leather cut-outs masterfully turn your foot into a work of art and are the perfect illustration that, in fashion as in life, sometimes less can be more. I’ve had my eye on Pour La Victoire since I saw a pair of [...]

Daily Pick: Walter’s black one shoulder dress

December 16, 2009

0

This one shoulder dress from Walter ($162.00 from $248.00 @ www.revolveclothing.com) is only available in small at the moment. Yep, I snatched up the last medium, it’s a hazard of the job. I actually sold myself. I usually look for bigger selection when choosing a Hit List item, but as you can read, I’m in love and it [...]

Daily Pick: Banana Republic’s flower statement ring

December 15, 2009

0

This ‘Sparkling Petals’ statement ring from Banana Republic ($50.00) is the definition of fashion eye candy. Call it a statement ring. Call it a cocktail ring. Honestly, the label can’t come close to keeping my attention when something this shiny is floating in front of my eyes. Banana Republic is currently on my ‘It List’ with [...]

Daily Pick: American Eagle’s leather motorcycle jacket

December 14, 2009

I am obsessed with this leather ‘Moto’ aka Motorcycle Jacket from American Eagle. Loving the exaggerated collar on this one, not to mention the cross body zipper. There’s a little hardware, a little, leathery “oomph” with the neckline, and all around $250.00 which is pretty amazing for leather outerwear. Did I expect to find something like [...]

Daily Pick: BCBGeneration’s black suede boot

December 13, 2009

0

I’ve had my eye on these black ‘Michy’ suede platform boots from BCBGeneration all season long, and with the recent markdown, the entire concept of holiday shopping for others is being thrown out the window. The wider calf  gives the effect of a slouchy boot without the added bulk, which I love. Easy access: One thing to [...]

Top 10: Black Blazers under $150

December 12, 2009

0

I am always in the market for a black blazer. It’s the perfect work accessory, but also works well as an add-on for evening. You can also take the classic cut and bring it into the realm of casual by adding denim. Versatile much? It’s a complete and utter basic necessity that no woman should [...]

Daily Pick: Pencey’s one shoulder ruffle top

December 10, 2009

0

A look from the Abaete PreFall 2010 runway inspired me on this one. On the catwalk, a printed one shoulder top was tucked in to a pleated mini skirt. The effect was two pieces that seamlessly fit together as one. The runway look showed a basic and classic pump, but I always find it amazing [...]

Daily Picks: Gemma’s silk t-shirt dress

December 8, 2009

If there’s one thing I don’t want to have to deal with before heading out for the evening, it’s the try-it-on-take-it-off cycle of chaos. You know… that song and dance that leaves a massive pile of clothing in it’s wake. The solution to my problems, and yours as well hopefully, came to me in the [...]
