These look too much like the MANOLOS I want so bad to say no:)

They are by Newport News and ONLY $29!  Don't you see the resemblance???

The real deal from Manolo: $645 for the real deal at Neiman Marcus

Mon Cheri! Newport News EVERYTHING I have been looking for at the right PRICE

Only $39! Similar to the MK shoes I have been looking for!:)

I can't believe what I just found in Newport's new catalog...which I have to say, I LOVE the Parisian styling! Snaps to them for updating the style of the catalog! I know catalogs usually get stuck in a rut, but this really proves something new is coming! Here are a few of my must-have items!

*Not available until October!Only $25!

Which strappy shoe should I with...I can't decide...but, I am close to what I have been searching for!:)

Online Surprise: Newport News

I have skimmed and maybe shopped the Newport News site and catalog occasionally, but this fall it seems that every September issue is showcasing some really great pieces that I have to share!

Check out the "as seen in" section to see where the site has been featured recently... 

Working with catalogs, I understand the reuse of a great selling item which a couple of these must be...so, keep in mind---some of the styling from the catalog might be old school...but, if you update your styling like the magazines have these pieces are dynamic and have great prices!  LUCKY mag has a tee from Newport News on the last page that I have to have!  It's not on the site yet...but, I will be looking out for it and share once it gets added.

I just liked these....

The Bright Shift Dress

Get this!  You can get this purple sheath dress at Newport News for only $39 on Sale!!! The magazine says this will not be out until March 2009...so, nab this while you can and make all of these looks come true:)

This is from Banana Republic for $195 in the monogram collection.

I have been noticing a lot of shift dresses taking over in vibrant colors like SJP wore in SATC the movie in fuschia and recently in Glamour....taking a basic piece and giving it a WOW factor that you can't miss...well, I decided I LOVED the idea and I wanted to find gold, brown, and burnt orange hues.  This is what I found...anyone know of anywhere else you can find this piece that would be great all year long.  I found all of these on Shop Style.I love this color so much, too bad it costs so much at Barneys...

And, since I am crazy, I decided to look up the difference between the sheath and the shift dress since they look so similar and I showed both...."Sheath: Dress silhouette that's long and lean with a nipped waist - and usually without a waistband - to create an hourglass shape. Its fashion opposite is the boxier, shorter shift dress that hangs from the shoulders and has a loose waist."
