Shop Net-a-Porter Under $250
June 27, 2012 By 3 Comments
With pretty much everyone having a major sale right now (most of which are in the process of winding down…so get those purchases in), it can be overwhelming. To me, the most exciting sales to shop are the high end designer sales because let’s be honest…nothing feels better than scoring those Atwoods you’ve had your eye on at half off (or more). So I scoured my favorite luxury site Net-a-Porter to find you the best sale shoes, jewelry and handbags under $250.
Marni printed flats (original price: $470, now $188)
Missoni crochet mules (original price: $660, now $198)

Printed Tights: The Ultimate Winter Accessory
January 23, 2012 By 2 Comments
Although I hate my legs, I always dread wearing tights in the winter because they seem to drag down an outfit. But of course since it’s freezing, I suck it up and do it anyway. Thankfully the hosiery companies (and even those who don’t specialize in legwear) have taken it upon themselves to make tights COOL and turn them into the ultimate winter accessory.
Just like a statement necklace can really jazz up a simple black dress, printed tights can do just the same (but it doesn’t hurt to do both, right?) With that said, I’ve scoured the internet to find my favorite tights available this season. So there’s no excuse to go bare legged when it’s 10 degrees (which happens to be one of my biggest pet peeves by the way…)
1) House Of Holland Alphabet Tights
2) Urban Outfitters Lurex Chevron Tights
3) Wolford Tiger Printed Tights
4) Topshop Pastel Tie Dye Tights
5) House Of Holland Star Tights
6) YSL Heart-Print Sheer Tights

How will you be rocking your tights this season? Have any favorites from my picks?
Red Carpet Fashion: 2011 Met Gala (Part 2)
May 4, 2011 By 4 Comments
Hope you’ve been keeping up with my Met Gala fashion coverage. If not, see my best dressed picks and part 1 of the red carpet fashion. If you’re all caught up then let’s continue…
Mia Wasikowska in Thakoon
An awkward hemline and boring shoes, but the fit of this dress is stunning. The detailing on the bodice is dramatic enough to make this black dress really stick out. I’ve seen better, but I’ve seen worse.
Mary Kate Olsen in vintage Givenchy Couture
I actually don’t mind the dress…it’s very MKO (vintage and oversized) but the green accessories paired with this red dress? Come on. You can’t help but think, CHRISTMAS. And are those bells sticking out of the necklace and bracelet? This outfit is only appropriate on December 25th (if that).
Leighton Meester in Louis Vuitton
She always means well. Leighton truly thinks she’s making fashionable choices, but unfortunately the styling is always all wrong. From the neck up you’d think she’s wearing a flowing gold strapless gown, and from the neck down you’d think she’s about to start torturing you…with a whip.
Lea Michele in Escada
Lea always looks gorgeous on the red carpet. I will give her that. But this is way too understated for the Met Gala. I know she can do better.
Jennifer Lopez in Gucci
Nothing is working for me here. Pink bag with a pink dress, then red lips, with crazy floral shoulder detailing and that neck wrap…it’s just too much! Sorry JLo…I’d stick to the sequins you’re used to.
Jennifer Hudson in Vera Wang
Waist up is gorgeous. Waist down is a disaster.
Iman in Stella McCartney
The same rules apply to SJP as they do to Iman. You do not criticize, you just admire.
Ginnifer Goodwin in custom Topshop
I really do appreciate what she’s trying to do here. I actually love this dress on its own, I think the shoes are awesome, but the face she’s giving with her odd haircut kind of scares me. I’m not a huge fan of this hair style so it automatically makes me hate this overall look.
Florence Welch in YSL
So angelic. This event is meant for people like Florence Welch. It’s her look, and she owns it.
Eva Mendes in Stella McCartney
Not the biggest fan of a the long sleeve one-shoulder dress, however this one is a gorgeous color and I love the pleating. Eva looks pretty, but it’s now wowing me.
Look out for part 3 coming soon!
