Christian Louboutin. Gianvito Rossi. Alejandro Ingelmo. Aquazurra. Charlotte Olympia. Saint Laurent. Jimmy Choo. Givenchy. Valentino. These are a few shoe designers whose shoes can cost a pretty penny (or even a mortgage payment). However, I think maybe you can afford them! Think about it this way….assuming you wear the shoes twice per week, here’s what those super haute heels will run you: = One year = Three years = Five years
I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on my recent purchase – this Chloe rounded cuff bracelet. I’m in love with it and started out wearing it everyday – until I realized that I am not nearly as dainty as I thought. The clean designs picks up nicks quickly so you have to be careful. Until I can slow down on my ‘roughhousing’, I only wear it when I’m going out…but still equally in love with it. It’s no longer available
I have quite a few handbags especially clutches because I have a belief that they are always useful whether to dress up a casual look, to hold small tidbits, or for travel. Similar to shoes, handbags can be transformational to an outfit. The perfect leopard print bag can bring together the disparate parts of a pair of black pants and a camel sweater; or a cute aubergine and navy clutch sets off a pair of dark rinse denim and navy
I am lusting after these sunglasses by Chloe, the Carlina. I have a few pairs of Chloe sunnies and they are all characteristically round and slightly oversized but not so much that they eat up all of your face! They will remain on my Wish List until I can not break into a cold sweat when purchasing them (here). In the meantime, the round, slightly oversized, feminine, rose gold and brown, eclipse-looking sunnies will have to get some shade!
Sounds weird right? But it’s true ~ since you’re shopping, why not get a little back for what you spend?! If you shop using Ebates, you will! I discovered Ebates while at a conference earlier this year and even though I scooped these Chloe shades for nothing (gifted), I was enthralled by the concept of getting something more than a bill for shopping {sheepish grin}. Ok, so next you’re wondering if the stores you shop are available using ebates and
Are you one? I used to think I was until I started running my own business….LOL. I have a solid collection of Chloe’s and the likes, but I’ve come to realize I’m not nearly as high-end as my grandiose hallucinations lead me to believe. Here are 10 top handbag brands — which do you own? And how many? Bottega Veneta ~ great textures beyond the criss cross woven leather Yves Saint Laurent ~ the classic “Y” somewhere on the bag Ralph
Do you like it, love it, or not? We love it because the heel height will work for most while still being feminine and elegant; the whiskey color is ideal for fall, complements just about everything and will age beautifully; the wrapped-ankle detailing creates a look that says evolved, upscale tough chic which is a spot-on fall trend; and the overall styling allows it to be sported with skirts as well as pants!
