Spring Things

As far as shopping goes...February sucks. All the stores are starting to put out spring merchandise and here in NYC there is still snow on the ground and a major chill in the air. I recently spotted these carved wedges by Stella McCartney and instantly fell in love. The 60's vibe of the wood sole and denim detail is too cute for words and would go perfect with the shift dresses that we'll be wearing in a few months! But for some reason these are priced at $1,195! No, I am not joking...$1,195 for something that is essentially all manmade materials! But the good part of seeing spring merchandise early in the season is knowing what will be hot...what will be sooo hot that companies like Steve Madden (aka the Copycat King) can't help but to make a more wallet-friendly version. We will be on the lookout. But if you're on your way to St. Tropez and can't wait, Neiman Marcus has you covered..

BORN AGAIN

Seen Alicia Keys performance at the Grammys? Those earrings had me in a trance! Could've been the stage lights and the performance itself, but either way these earrings are head turners! I despise the term "GHETTO FABULOUS", but perfect description for this revamp of the bamboo hoop.

Marc the Spot

It never fails...MARC has done it again! Can't describe the feeling that came across my sunglass loving mind when I saw Marc Jacob's latest creation....

SPECIAL FLORAL DELIVERY

One of the Top Spring Trends of 2008: Floral. A nice feminine print that looks hideous on my body in a dress or blouse form lol. Since I'm an accessories freak I thought it'll be safe for me to combine the two. And more flower power to you if you can rock a flower dress!

FASHIONABLY LATE

I know in the cyber world posting grammy pics the TUESDAY after the Grammys seems pointless. I'm sure by now these images are old news, but there's something about candid stylish pics that makes me all warm inside lol.....

It's Like a Jungle Sometimes...

From Old Navy's "Urban Explorer" collection, this safari-inspired romper is too cute for words. Pair it with flat thongs and hoops and you're ready for war...or lunch with the girls, whatever you prefer.

THE "OTHER" BAG

I'm a big fan of tote bags. In my mind a tote equals something quick to grab and cute for those errand running days, as a work bag along side your purse, or as a bag for a books/magazines/psp for those salon hours. Either way it's a do! I grew tired of seeing those "I'M NOT A PLASTIC BAG" totes everywhere and was happy to see this little number over at www.bagladies.com.au

Back to Black

NY Fashion Week kicked off over the weekend. Legendary designer and fashion icon, Diane von Furstenberg showed that our cries for inequality on the runways were heard by the CFDA president. Six lovely black models,including supermodels Liya Kebede and Alek Wek, strutted von Furstenberg's lovely Fall 2008 creations...well done Diane! Well done!!

2 in 1

Topping my "SPRING TO DO LIST"....Candy Colored Suede Heels! These babies have been catching my eye nonstop! I spotted 2 must have pairs at 9west and (of course lol) 4ever21.


And speaking of color....Marc Jacobs gave us this multicolored chunky, and I don't know about you, but I don't like CHUNKS COMING OUT MY BANK ACCOUNT lol! So I've waited to see if something similar (with a "my speed" price lol) would surface. Found satisfaction with Alloy's version(And you could not have told me a year ago I would want a pair of chunkies that didn't consist of wood! lol).

Fleece's Pieces

It's not that I've blogged about Mike&Chris below, and now I'm blogging about fleece lol. It's like practically covering the same thing lol! But remember those days when fleece seem to be only used for sweats? Now I'm seeing this fabric cover it all! And not to mention the comfort that's involved in wearing fleece. Below are a few fleece pieces I've been eyeing, so ummmm...move over hoodies!!!

Check the Neck

Loveeeee Mike&Chris for so many reasons! Their collars add so much more "ump" (lol) to their pieces. Here lately I've been focusing on the necklines/collars of tops or should I say focusing on the Mike&Chris look lol

80s Love

As an 80s baby I will always love anything that reminds me of my childhood...slap bracelets, side ponytails, boomboxes...the list goes on. Grafitti also holds that special place in my heart...as long as it's not on the side of my house! But on the side of my shoe...me likes!

Flirty Shirty

I love dresses. They are so easy and versatile, you throw them on and can be out the door immediately. This new shirt dress from Urban Outfitters is tailored enough to wear to work with tights and pumps but casual enough to rock on the weekend with leggings and flat boots. And at $48 it's wallet-friendly which we all need after the holiday season.
