What Why Where: Leather Sleeves

With all this leather talk lately (along with the fact that it’s jumped from 75 degrees to just below 50 degrees overnight), I thought it was the perfect time to bring out my new coat…complete with leather sleeves. I’ve also been very into navy and black so when I saw this coat, you can only imagine how I felt about it.

The Outnet Clearance Sale

Oscar for under $400? Pucci for under $150? McQueen for $120? Yes it’s true! The Outnet is already a great resource for buying discounted designer fashion, but every once in a while they’ll take it even further and offer 80-85% off for their clearance sales. And it’s happening right now…only until this Saturday!

I scoured all 25 pages of the clearance sale to bring you the best of the best. Take serious advantage of this. Doesn’t come around very often!

Loafers Not To Loaf Around In

In September of last year I posted about the things I was surprisingly coveting for Fall 2011. First on the list? Loafers. Almost a year later, it’s still one of the things I’m coveting except it’s not necessarily for Fall…and it’s no surprise.

I have been against flats for quite some time now but after fashion weeks, local events, and other random outings (all in heels) I’ve been giving my feet a much needed break (and they’re very thankful by the way). It all started with my Marc by Marc Jacobs mouse flats (flats are more bearable when spiked and/or studded, in my opinion) and after my most recent trip to NYC, I am now the proud owner of loafers…Jimmy Choo studded loafers to be exact.

Now I’m passing along my new found obsession for loafers onto you. If studs aren’t your thing (then maybe we should reconsider our friendship), there’s glitter, floral print, sequins, leopard and much more. Some call them slippers (but don’t wear these to bed…they deserve to be seen), others claim they’re smoking shoes (but you don’t have to pick up smoking to wear them). Whatever you want to call them, they’re all loafers…and they’re all awesome.

Red Carpet Fashion: 2012 Oscars (Part 1)

If you’re going to tune in to one awards show all season and watch just one red carpet…THIS is the one. But if you didn’t, thankfully you have me.

The Oscars were last night and the red carpet was the best I’ve seen all season. I’m not saying everyone got it right but I wasn’t totally bored…and that says a lot. We saw a lot of strapless and one-shoulder gowns (which to be honest I’m not a huge fan of either, but they weren’t all terrible), of course the neutral beaded gowns which are expected at the Oscars, but the biggest trend was white. Not an easy thing to pull off but let’s see who got it right and who missed the mark on the red carpet…
