Splurge of the Week:
Bottega Veneta Knot Intreccio Memory Clutch

Bottega Veneta Knot Intreccio Memory Clutch $2,320.00 Barneys


One way to beat the winter blues is to think spring! Let me help you with that with these colorful and oh-so-chic clutches from Bottega Veneta. Clutches are not for evenings no more. An array of colors, shapes and sizes were on tote in a number of Spring 2012 collections making them one of the must-haves for the season. I came across Bottega Veneta's Memory clutch and just absolutely adored them. The woven leather gives it a luxurious texture and a modern look from the bright colors. I particularly love the knot clasp detail.

Splurge of the Week:
Prada 'Baroque' Sunglasses

Prada 'Baroque' Round Sunglasses in Black $290.00 Nordstrom

I've been wanting to feature these sunglasses the moment I saw them walk down the runway (Prada's Spring 2011 Collection) last September. From the Minimal Baroque collection, features a rococo design that is classic and stylish. Compared to their runway counterparts, I personally prefer these. They are not to 'out-there' if I may. I'm sure you'll turn heads wearing a pair of these chic sunglasses. They will never go out of style and worthy every penny.

Smart EcoStyle of the Week:
JADEtribe Pom Pom Beach Tote

JADEtribe Pom Pom Beach Tote $143.00 Shopbop

Summer has not officially started yet but with temperatures getting up to 100° it might as well be. And what better way to enjoy a hot sunny day than going to the beach. Don't want to sound like 'Debbie Downer' but there are a number of endangered beaches around the world and at least 10 beach towns in the U.S. are enlisted as endangered. Caused by erosion, natural disasters and human action.

Going and being 'green' is not as easy it may sound but the smallest action can help the bigger picture. Personally, I've always support eco-friendly and earth-friendly fashion. As we all know, there is such a thing as being eco-fabulous!

So, if you're looking for that perfect beach tote for summer, I suggest consider this pom pom beach tote by JADETribe. Handmade with woven straws and my favorite feature is the hand-woven lining with drawstring closure. All materials are organically dyed. This tote is so much fun and absolutely eco-chic!

Splurge of the Week:
Fendi Multi Striped Baguette

Fendi Multi Striped Baguette $1,620.00 Barneys


Baguettes are one of the must have handbags for spring and summer. I would recommend toting one for casual evening engagements or if you're in the mood to carry something light during the day where you can easily pack the necessities; phone, wallet, lip gloss, etc. Fendi is known for  chic and trendy baguettes and not surprisingly loved by celebrities. I particularly love this multi striped baguette. It's modern, fun and statement worthy.

The Smart Stylist Recommends: 'Stirrupz'

Box_Front.jpg
'Striruppz' $18.00 / Pair. Available at Stirrupz.com
stiruppz_5.jpgI love seeing the tucked-jeans-in-boots look but hearing from a few of my girlfriends that this can be challenging to pull this off. Due to the fact that their jeans tend to hike-up, bunch-up and get totally out of place in doing something as simple as walking.

Well, those wardrobe malfunctions are history when I told them about 'Stirrupz'. These nifty and fabulously smart accessory are designed to clip on your jeans and keep them in place. They are also made not to damage your clothing and very comfortable, you even know they're there.

They are basically like suspenders. Priced at $18 a pair, I think this is a small investment that goes a long way.
They're an amazing bit of kit for the discerning boot-lover, and of course if you're always uncomfortable due to ruffled jeans when you're out and about this will solve the problem in no time at all. Plus, they've got a little bit of the Wild West about them, so if you're looking for the ideal match for your leather cowboys, then you're in luck.

The best part about them is how easy they are to cart around. If you travel a lot and your boots may be made for walkin', but not that much, then you can just drop them into your suitcases, Mulberry bags or your clutch and cart them on through. That way, no matter where you are, you're always going to be able to pull off your high-top Doc Martens without a care in the world for your former denim woes.

Hello my dear friends, my sincere apologies for being m.i.a. for the past couple of weeks. Blogging has a taken a backseat with getting back to work full time. And I'll do my best to give you the latest news, trends and happenings in the fashion world as much as I can. Your continued support is very much appreciated. With love - Paul 'The Smart Stylist'


Katy Perry may not have gone home with a 'moon man' from this year's MTV Video Music Awards, she's still a big winner on a number of best dressed celebs for the event. Katy looked 'fine, fresh, fierce' wearing a lace, skin-tone dress. I'm so glad she opted not to wear one of her wigs that night. I absolutely adore her M.C.L. by Matthew Campbell Laurenza 'Pave 3D Heart' Ring. Its understated yet chic and stylish. The ring fabulously compliment Katy Perry's fiercely painted nails.

For fall think statement worthy accessories. Shop for oversize rings, multi-chain necklaces and unconventional designs.
