Sweet Kicks: Sneakers For Spring

Although it’s a trend that’s not really my style, I do appreciate a well-pulled off sneaker. It’s a more casual alternative to flats or flat boots, but if you’ve taken a look at any of the more recent sneaker designs, they can sure make a statement. I have to say though, I’m not loving wedge sneakers…they remind me of JLo from her “Jenny From The Block” days, and why would we ever want to relive the fashions of 2002? So anyway…

With the Isabel Marant ‘Willow’ Sneakers totally being the new Miu Miu glitter booties of the season, see what sweet sneaks I’m loving for Spring.

Gloves To Love For Fall/Winter 2011

Living in Chicago, I have to make the best of the weather and find the best looking outerwear I can find. I’ve already shared with you my favorite Fall/Winter coats for 2011 and I wanted to dedicate a post to an accessory that can be forgotten about but definitely deserves some attention…gloves! See my favorite gloves (that I hope you’ll love too!) and where you can get them.

Bottega Veneta Woven Leather Gloves

These are a classic style with the signature Bottega Veneta woven detail that adds a little extra something to the gloves.

Valentino Leather and Calf Hair Gloves

Cashmere-lined, leopard print, leather and studded…could it get any better? These are just a fun way to accessorize an outfit without having to pile on bangles and rings.

Rag & Bone Dean Gloves

These are the perfect balance of practicality and style. Not your average looking Winter gloves but not too over-the-top.

Missoni Striped Wool Gloves

For those that want to stay warm but still want to make more of a statement, these Missoni gloves are the perfect pair. And let’s be honest…Missoni makes everything better 🙂

Lanvin Long Washed-Leather And Knitted Silk Gloves

These are great for those special occasion nights and black tie events during the cold months. They’re elegant and sophisticated yet unique with the leather and silk combination.

Best of the Fall 2011 Ad Campaigns

The Fall 2011 ad campaigns are out and overall I’m less than impressed. However, there are a few that really stuck out to me and I’m really looking forward to seeing these in all the major fashion magazines this season.

It looks like they’re playing Wii fit or something…in fabulous Lanvin outfits of course.

This is already the most talked about Fall 2011 ad, and I can see why. It’s strangely fabulous.

Photobucket

A little dark for my taste, but I’m obsessed with the glitter pants for Fall…which is why I may or may not have ordered 2 pairs from Moda Operandi 🙂

Photobucket

The opposite sort of visual from the previous ad, I love the colors shown for M Missoni. I also need to have that handbag…immediately.

Fierce as it’s finest…need I say more?
