August 2010 Archives

September starts tomorrow, and in 3 weeks Fall officially begins. As much as don't want summer to end, there a few fabulous things the new season has to offer. One of which is New York Fashion Week,kicking off on September 9th. And another plus side of fall is the fashion. I love me some jackets. For fall, jackets are key pieces that you should have in your wardrobe.

Shop for military inspired, luxe and statement worthy jackets. Like this chic, edgy Alexander McQueen Denim Motorcycle Jacket. Look hot on cool fall days and sizzle wearing this on casual evening engagements. Wear it open or zipped up, either way this is worth the investment to add to your fall ensemble.

Diesel is one of my favorite premium denim brands of all time. Not only they offer stylish and fashion forward clothing, it is top notch quality. I actually still have my very first pair of Diesel jeans which I bought 13 years ago. If only I can still fit in them... sigh. I know you're probably thinking that I should throw them or give them to Goodwill. I thought about it but I did spend a paycheck purchasing them. So, I guess they have a sentimental value.

Anyhow, Diesel is running an amazing promotion good through August 31st. Save up to 50% OFF Spring and Summer Collection. It gets better!

Fashion editorials don't always translate in 'real life'. Take the model, make-up and styling out of the picture and you are left with a mediocre perhaps over-priced piece of garment. A perfect example is this Viktor & Rolf coat. It's stylish and modern in the photograph but when stripped off of all the fluff it looks like an oversize coat or worst a superhero costume. The one thing that really irritates me is the price of this coat! Come on now, seriously?!

Prairie Underground has always been a hit or miss for me. This mini dress... a home run! Sizzle wearing this Swizzle Mini Dress made with 100% Organic Cotton. I love the simple yet very chic design. And this dress proves that even with the slightest detail, in this case the pleat on the shoulder can transform any garment from blah to zing! Pair the dress with pumps or boots to get that eco-fabulous look. The dress is on sale for $65, now that's a steal.

With temperatures nearing 100 degrees everyday, some of us wouldn't mind if fall comes next week. One thing is certain though, when the mercury starts dropping fashion becomes 'hauter'. A staple for fall, boots are hotter than ever this fall (no pun intended).

Just take a look at this Versace Patent and Suede Boots. I love the modern and very chic design. The wooden heel gives the boot a Yin and Yang feel. And the touch of red detail on the sole is subtle but speaks volumes. These boots can be paired with endless looks for fall. Not a bad investment if you ask me.

AllSaints has extended their fabulous sale. Save up to 70% off select merchandise for both men and women. There are quite the selection of deep discounts on women's dresses and men's tops. Just look at some of the items I found!

AllSaints is on top of my favorite brands at the moment. I love their modern and edgy designs. I also like their color palette. All their pieces can virtually match whatever you already have in your closet. Sale ends soon so get shopping. Shopping note: AllSaints doesn't have a sale section on their site, sale items are mixed in with the rest of the merchandise. Enjoy!

TGIF! What a fabulous way to start your weekend with an exclusive access to Ella Moss' Private Sale. Save up to 50% off select merchandise. A collection of stylish and trendy garments for women and kids. No coupon code needed! Again, this is an exclusive sale. Happy Shopping!

Seriously!? 'OMFG' (oh my fashion god). This is the second time around that Ashish lands the week's fashion criminal. I try to be fair and take a lot of things into consideration when choosing who gets the dishonorable mention. And the only thing I found remotely fashionably acceptable with this dress is, it sparkles. Well, I do like the red cross stitching on the sleeves but still those are not enough to save this dress.

Sometimes, a not so fabulous garment can be redeemed with the right styling. Not on this case. If you can see below... not so much. It looks like a Halloween costume. Keep this kind of despicable designs, Ashish will definitely be in the running for Fashion Criminal of the Year!

My sincere apologies my dear readers for I haven't been posting as usual. I just started a new job and there are days that I come home exhausted. I hope you understand and can relate. Now back to fashion!

I love me some asymmetric specially on dresses. Some designs do get a little to much for my liking. But this EDUN Double Layer Dress is just how it should be. Chic, modern, feminine and sophisticated. The silhouette and one-sleeve gives the dress some edge. Made with 100% Organic Cotton. I actually have seen this dress in person and love the softness of the material. The price is just about right. Look eco-chic and eco-fabulous paired with flat sandals or ankle booties.
