Black Friday: you either love it or hate it. If you’re in the “love it” party, this post is for you. A lot of the deals haven’t been announced yet… but I’m all for spreading the word on a great deal, so here’s what I’ve found so far (and if you know about more, feel free to mention them in the comments!). Bloomingdale’s is opening at 7am on Black Friday and will have steal-deals, like 25% off women’s denim. However, they’ve started their deals already–including the designer handbag sale–in-store and online, so get shopping! Shopbop.com also started their sales earlier …
Get Your 15 Minutes of Fame with the NARS Andy Warhol Collection
You know how I promote trends in fashion because they are a great tool to get one excited to get dressed every day? Well, an eyeshadow palette is what is getting me excited to put on makeup these days! Beauty is literally art with the Andy Warhol-inspired collection from NARS Cosmetics. This collaboration was a natural match for Francois Nars, who said that he has been very influenced by Warhol’s sense of rebellion and playfulness with color even before this collaboration. The collection includes eye shadow palettes, lip gloss, nail polish, and beauty sets–and they sell for no more than regular NARS …
Wrap Yourself in Luxury and Comfort this Season
Autumn is the adjustment period–it’s not winter, so you don’t have to commit to bundling up just yet, but you still want to be cozy in the crisp air. Luckily, this fall’s trends let you feel cozy while looking fabulous. I am in love with the textures and shapes of this season! First, the flat shoe of the season is the smoking slipper, which I’ve explained here is the new ballet flat. It’s fresh, good for day and night, and COMFORTABLE! No more ballet flats with that awkward scrunch in the heel. Second, the textures this season are all comfort-meets-luxury. I’m talking about …
The Showdown at Paris Fashion Week
The fashion show season is over, unfortunately, but it ended with a bang at Paris Fashion Week. It looks like we’ll be seeing a lot of whimsy in Spring/Summer 2013–did you catch the Chanel Hula Hoop bag or the fuzzy Celine shoes? Never mind hula hoop bags, the excitement during Paris Fashion Week mostly revolved around the Hedi Slimane vs. Raf Simons showdown. Here’s the background: Slimane, who has mostly been working as a photographer since he left Dior Homme, is the new creative director at Saint Laurent (the brand has lost the “Yves” under Slimane’s direction). Simons is the new …
Fall Boots Under $500
What would fall be without boots? Boots can be a practical basic or the missing link to making a statement with your outfit. Don’t get it wrong! Although in style every year, the must-have looks change each season. Below is my list of must-haves for Fall 2012. As a bonus, all of them are under $500! The equestrian look is a major trend this season, so a riding boot is a definite must-have. Try them over skinny jeans or cords, or under a maxi skirt. Frye boots are a classic, so don’t worry about these ever going out of style. Frye Paige Tall …
