BaubleBar Aqua Turquoise Drop Earrings

As seen in Instyle Makeover Magazine, these are the epitome of bohemian chic. What a great pair of semi precious jade gemstones to wear for spring and summer. Heck I would wear them now since it is such a great contrast to all the dark colors you have been wearing all winter long. Why not pair this with a great black cashmere sweater and coated denim jeans and ankle booties and let these earrings be the focal point of your outfit? These are just too good to miss at $28. AND in the summer wear them after a day at the beach to show off your tan with a maxi dress and flip flops.

BaubleBar Turquoise Aqua Jade Drop Earrings for $28.

Donna Karan Vintage Leather Jacket for 70% off

Posted by Susana

Ok so my issue is that every single time I see something that is drastically marked down for 70% off I start hyperventilating and thinking that the item must be purchased by me immediately or it will be gone in 5 minutes. Most of the time it is not true. For the most part anything that is 70% off does go relatively fast, however when a piece like this Donna Karan Casual Luxe Vintage Leather Bomber is 70% off you still have to think twice only because at 70% off it is still $898.50. So even though it was $2,995 and now 70% off and no one is disputing it is a great deal, the cost of the great deal is relative.

Here is what I like about this jacket. The leather. The leather is a soft smooshy lamb leather. There is no denying this leather is from the best leathers in the world. The tailoring and styling of the jacket is exquisite. After all it is Donna Karan. However, the wrinkled leather look…I just don’t get it. Why do we need it to be wrinkled? That is the only thing that I would say is a con on this mostly pro jacket that is on sale. I say this is definitely a get it jacket. What do you think?

Donna Karan Casual Luxe Vintage Leather Bomber for $898.50 from $2,995.

Victoria Beckham Grey Shopper Tote Bag

Victoria Beckham’s new bag collection is definitely luxe. If there is anyone who knows about quality in leather goods such as bags, she is definitely someone who knows bags. As a collector of Hermes birkin bags in every skin from crocodile to togo, Victoria Beckham has seen hand craftsmanship at the highest possible level of perfection. Why wouldn’t she now start designing her own line of bags made of the best quality leathers in the world? If you ask me why you should trust Victoria Beckham on bags, if you cannot trust someone with such discerning taste who can you trust? Everything she wears from her Isabel Marant leather jackets to her pumps are always put together with perfection. All her clothing is perfectly tailored to fit on her at all times. With that kind of discerning eye for perfection, she would only make the best looking, functional, and highest quality bags out there.

Case in point, the Grey leather shopper tote bag here is probably one of the simplest yet most elegant pieces out there at the moment. She takes a shopper tote and gives it character through its subtle light gold hardware, hidden practical detachable wallet, rolled handles, and just right gray colored leather gives this bag a timeless modern look that can take you from a luncheon at the Maison de Truffe to a dinner without missing a beat. The bag is large yes, but it has enough structure to make sure the bag is not seen as your normal LL Bean tote bag, it is an elegant bag to be reckoned with.

Victoria Beckham gray leather shopper tote for $2,700.

Chinese New Year Red Dresses

Posted by Susana

新年快樂. Are you celebrating Chinese New Year in style this year? If you live in Singapore, Taiwan, or Hong Kong you are probably off for a few weeks and traveling with family. Did you give out red envelopes? Do you have a red pair of shoes, dress, or bag for a big party? Is their a fundraiser that you will be going to or something with your family? A great red dress always eclipses any other color and for Chinese New Year if you are like me and wear black almost every day of the week, change it up and get a great red bag or a red dress to wear to that Chinese New Year dinner or party.

Chinese New Year is such a fun time of the year for kids and adults because it is a time to take a break, get rid of anything from the past year that we want to clean out or cleanse from our lives, and plan for the new year of the Dragon 2012. Foods that are popular for this time of year include noodles for long life, dumplings, and many fun pink desserts. Everything looks so pretty and festive. In Hong Kong the Chinese New Year celebration is pretty big and there are fireworks in the Harbor.

The Chinese also love using a play on words by using homonyms for foods that symbolize happiness, health, and prosperity for the New Year. Many of these food items are often used in dishes during the Chinese New Year dinners and parties. Here are some examples:

Seaweed, especially black moss, Fat Choy, (in Chinese: 髮菜; pinyin: fàcài; literal meaning: hair vegetable). The two syllables of Fat Choy in Cantonese sound the same as a Cantonese Chinese New Year greeting “Gung hei faat choi” (恭喜发财) meaning “congratulations and be prosperous”; additional meanings: – good luck, exceeding wealth.

Seeds – lotus seeds, watermelon seeds – having a large number of children 籽 [zǐ]

Shrimp (小虾; xiǎoxiā) – happiness and good fortune.

Shitake, Black mushroom (冬菇; dōnggū) -longevity, sizing opportunities

Slender Noodle (細粉; xì fě) – see glass noodle

Snowpeas (荷蘭豆; hélándòu) – unity

Spring roll (春卷; chūnjuǎn) – wealth (the shape represents a gold bar)

Sweet corn (甜玉米; tián yùmǐ) – growth, increase

Sweets, (糖食; tángshí, 糖果;tángguǒ) rice cake (年糕; nián’gāo) – safety, good fortune and ‘sweeten’ the new year

Tangerine (橘; jú) – luck

Also, the decor is red for good luck so many homes are decorated with red lanterns and red tablecloths during this time of year. Modern homes do red accents that compliment their more contemporary decor.

So, if you are shopping for Chinese New Year and need a great red dress for the new year, check out some of my suggestions. AND after Chinese New Year, you can wear the dress again for Valentine’s Day.

Diane von Furstenberg Andie Dress from the runway that is on sale for $278.60. Great option for an office party or a cocktail mixer.

Thakoon Gathered Strapless Dress for $1,590. If you are going to a fete or soiree or ball this is a great dress.

Ami Dans La Rue Sweater Dress for $264. For those who live in parts of China that are colder like Shanghai or Beijing, this is a good option.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Clark Twill Dress for $328. This dress is a great option for a more casual look. Usually great if you are going out at night for a Chinese New Year to meet up with friends.

New York, NY – Today, January 25^th, “Shameless” star Emmy Rossum made a guest appearance on “CBS This Morning” wearing a pair of Ippolita Silver Black Onyx earrings and diamonds with an IPPOLITA sterling silver Scultura Extra Large Round ring in black onyx with diamonds.

IPPOLITA started out only using gold as a metal for their jewelry and just last year expanded their line to silver. It has been a hit because some people really prefer the cooler metal to its warmer sister. IPPOLITA brings that same feel to the silver collection along with gems that light up the collections. Also, the younger feeling more modern collection has a great price range too. Starting at $200 it is a great collection for the younger beginner Ippolita collector. Shop the Ippolita Silver Black Onyx earrings as seen on Emmy Rossum now.

Gucci Black Swim Suit Demi Moore wore in Harper’s Bazaar

It is really sad to learn about Demi Moore’s hospitalization status after everything that has happened with her and Ashton Kutcher’s marriage recently. She has been seen in the public looking very thin and now this latest update on her health situation makes it very sad. Hopefully she will get better soon.

In happier times, probably when Demi Moore shot the February 2012 issue of the Harper’s Bazaar cover recently, she was shot on the cover wearing Tom Ford and shot in a black Gucci swimsuit and cover up with dark cat eye sunglasses looking very bohemian chic. The timing of the cover and the theme for the shoot was to promote the Lovelace movie that she was supposed to be doing which now she has dropped out of for health reasons.

She is seen in the Harper’s Bazaar magazine wearing a Gucci RTW 2012 black Gucci cut out swimsuit with a Gucci black sheer cover up. Great look for anyone looking to really vamp it up on their next cruise around the French Riviera.

Tara Matthews did a version of this Gucci swimsuit for about $180 of course you could always buy the Gucci version at Netaporter.com or Saks Fifth Avenue
.

Maria Menounos was seen in the Smythe Magenta Plaid Hunting Jacket and in a pair of däv Equestrian solid black rain boots while filming an episode of Extra at the Grove in Los Angeles on January 23rd. It is so strange to see Extra filming daily at The Grove but I suppose it is a good way to get people involved on the show and also get more people to watch for the possibility of seeing themselves on television. Maria’s total ensemble is very cool in that it has a very English country hunting vibe with a decidedly modern twist. Her boots are equestrian in style, but they are made of rubber and keep you stylish in the rain. They are also lined in a felt that will keep your legs warm from the cold rainy days on January and February. The hunting jacket with its leather elbow patches hint at a very traditional hunting jacket however that is where the traditional reminders stop. The Smythe hunting jackets are modern cuts of flattering ladylike jackets that give you Hollywood good looks. Even English Royals love Smythe as seen on Kate Middleton in the past. The jackets are made to look like a custom tailored jacket without the custom made wait time and price tag. Now on sale for over 50% off. It is a great time to get your own Smythe jacket for the rest of the winter.

Smythe Magenta Plaid Hunting Jacket is now on sale from $650 to $259.99 at SaksFifthAvenue.com.

däv Equestrian solid black rain boots are available for $95.

SWAINE ADENEY BRIGG Rain Umbrella

A black Swaine Adeney Brigg umbrella with detachable Malacca wooden handle is the perfect compliment for you on your travels or the perfect Valentine’s Gift for that dapper man in your life. When I see this umbrella I hear Edith Piaf songs in my head and envision myself strolling in Paris along the Seine. Needless to say during this rainy season when you are off for Fashion Week in Europe to see the shows you will need a good umbrella not one of those fold up contraptions. After all if the Sartorialist were to snap you outside of the shows you want to look as good as Emanuelle Alt. So a good umbrella is a must have for your travels this season. Swaine Adeney Brigg held a Royal Warrant to supply umbrellas to the British Royal family so you are in good company because Kate Middleton is probably using one of these umbrellas while she is traveling or in England. They have been making high quality umbrellas since 1893 out of the best materials so if you are looking for an umbrella for yourself or as a gift, get a Swaine Adeney Brigg umbrella.
