Lust vs. Must: Wicker Bangle

I think in the situation, I would go for MUST!  The Shipping & Handling for the Lust is way too much!
LUST-Vivre 
MUST-Forever 21 of course!

Do I Need To Change Subscriptions?


I just read on Fashion Week Daily that Nina Garcia is leaving ELLE in September to go to MARIE CLAIRE!  I still can't believe it!  The funny thing is I just got the June issue off the newsstand last week (since I do not subscribe yet:) and I actually saw a lot of interesting things and decided to register on the website for emails (which I did yesterday).  The other interesting thing about this magazine is my previous boss at my first internship with CosmoGIRL! is Ann Shokett, the now editor-in-chief of SEVENTEEN magazine and is always on America's Next Top Model.  She asked me about 2 years ago, what I thought of Marie Claire and I told her the truth...I thought it had an interesting angle incorporating news about other women in other countries, a really strong perspective on women in the working world and then the 101 ideas for fashion was always signature...but, I never looked a the magazine for any fashion direction...maybe, that will change now...

Sex and the City, The Fashion Behind the Movie

Here it COMES! There are themed parties everywhere to CELEBRATE this great day! Patricia Fields helps makes this movie what it will be...enjoy some background to the show.

NYLON TV + GOSSIP GIRL

I LOVE NYLON! The article was good, but this was BETTER...so, I had to share of course! Final show this season next Monday!

Before We Had Shopbop and Intermix Online We Had....













I remember when I was in High School and LOVED shopping from the Delias and ALLOY catalogs because I knew no one else was going to have anything I had chosen...people just weren't there yet...so, I thought I would step back a sec and check out what Delias and ALLOY offer today.

The Hills Season 4 Preview

I love the show...I can't deny it...the style, the lifestyle, the jobs:)  

It's Funny How 2 Places Can Have Exactly the Same Thing




But, both Urban Outfitters and Forever 21 are influenced by Vintage clothing and accessories...I wouldn't be surprised if H&M had something similar as well:) I guess the choice is in your color selection:)

Full Skirts, Great Prints, Fab Discount!


Banana Republic is having a promo where if you put in: TAKE15OFF at checkout, you get 15% off...I LOVE the style of full skirts...they will never go out of style for me...They became REALLY big after Prada did them a couple of years ago, but skirts and full skirts for that matter have always had a strong presence in my wardrobe. They are elegant and the big one, they cover any flaws...I don't feel uncomfortable wearing a full skirt.

KMART Revisited


I haven't been to K-Mart in soooo long! I just saw my niece in a tee that says, "If the Shoe Fits, Buy It!" So, of course, I had to see if it was online...which, sadly it wasn't....but, I did find some other things that were less than $19.99! I think it will be even better at the store, but, still check out the site.

My Love Affair With Oscar







Since I can't afford Oscar de la Renta yet...but, I LOVE his work...I figured I would check out O Oshttp://www1.macys.com/search/index.ognc?SearchTarget=*&Keyword=o+oscarcar at Macy's and see what I thought and I like a couple of the looks...I basically am looking for the fabulous silhouette and classic design that Oscar has in his couture lines...Also, a previous designer for Oscar de la Renta is now at Bill Blass New York, the RTW line for Bill Blass and is creating marvelous pieces that favor the classic styling of Oscar de la Renta.

My Dream Job: Trend Forecasting: "Detecting Fashion"

I just read the article for New York Times, "Roaming the World, Detecting Fashion" and I am salivating! My dream job and as the article said, so intuitive! I grew up as a navy brat, living all over the world. I love to travel, and I will keep traveling now that I am married into the Air Force. I have already been to India this year and we could hopefully move to England, Germany, or Japan! I also have family and friends all over the US...I am telling you all, I am MADE for this job! Read the article and see:) Can you all tell how excited I am right now:) I need this issue:)

Resurrection




I felt like French Connection had been lost for good...but, recently I have been eyeing a lot of items when I am picking up and returning clothes to Dillards from photo shoots...so, I decided to look on the site...not only are they now selling online (something that wasn't happening too long ago...my hubby used to LOVE their jeans!) but, I am loving so many of their styles right now.

Your Footsie's Will Be Satisfied




Now, DSW is officially online...another reason to love the company more...no need to search for the perfect shoe and not know if it will be there...now, there is more selection...regardless of where you live.  I have always preferred the New York City DSW's over anywhere in the US...but, I am always open for something new online:)  I love how every shoe, you can look at any angle you would like to see the shoe...now, I love that the site has become available...but, I always believe...it is much better to try on a shoe in person than to just believe that the size will fit...every shoe is different...but, with that said---it is still exciting:)

SALE WORTH VISITING @ ShopBop


An EXTRA 25% off an already marked down 70% item by using code: Extra25

Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend...

...And any other fabulous accessory we can get:)  We can break the styles down by category and gentlemen, if you are reading this blog, here are places you can search for anniversary gifts, Mother's Day gifts, birthdays...and well, basically any event that you can give a fab gift!
In New York, John Hardy has definitely replaced Tiffany jewelry...but, I feel like the rest of the world still covets all things Tiffany...here is a classic John Hardy to add to your collection. 
When did right hand rings become BIG?  I don't remember...but, I love the style so that your right hand doesn't get bored:)  I also like the strength in the message of the right hand ring. 
Now, I do not wear watches, but if I did...I would want something oversized, with a lot of detail that wouldn't look so much like a watch and that would catch people's attention...
Pearls are always a classic for women, but try to avoid styles that look too grandma:)

My New Fave Bracelets I had to Share that Were Only $3 Each


I purchased these fab bracelets (the last three-I also purchased the orange one a while ago, but that was around $10) from a fab store in Tucson, Arizona that is owned by a mother, daughter partnership...they sell all things fab, but I just had to share this steal!  Call to order:
Bon Co

Lip Gloss Heaven: Guys Heart Betsey



Ok, everyone...I am already a gloss-a-holic...but, after seeing my friend, and owner of Pour Moi rocking fab lip gloss repeatedly, I had to ask who she was wearing...and not only did she give me the name, she brought me an extra she had since she LOVED it so much:)  So, since I LOVE you all so much, I had to share the wealth.  The Brand: Urban Decay XXX Shine.  The Style: Guys Heart Betsey.  The reason: the gloss is perfect, not too gooey, but just the right amount of shine and the color is sexy pinkish red!  Everyone needs this in their make up bag, get it today!  P.S. This color was used in Betsey Johnson's Fashion Show:)
