speaking of jewelry: elizabeth and james

hmm. i’ve been trying to gather my thoughts on the new jewelry collection by robert lee morris for olsen-twin-label elizabeth and james, and i’m not sure i’m there yet. i’m trying to love it, but i think it might be too hippie/goth/xena-the-warrior-princess for my taste. i do love the price point…it’s a great way to get a taste of the label without going broke. but i’m just not feeling it (except, perhaps, for this one, but i’m really into the multi-chain thing this month). that said, i’ve definitely been wrong before. what do you think?

the loeffler randall fetish continues

just feeling a little loeffler love this morning, and couldn’t resist sharing. i know, i know, the economy, blah…but we can still look at pretty things, surely?

that fantastic taupe edith pump is the perfect antidote to your winter blues, and will be a fab addition to your spring/summer wardrobe. they’d be absolutely stunning now with a colored tight, but when spring hits, this is such a gorgeous way to add a little ladylike to your look. that heel is mighty daunting at 4.25″, but i’m thinking the 1″ platform will help. plus, designer jessie randall does faux snakeskin better than just about anyone. if you’re lucky enough to find your size, these are on sale at habitat for $315; otherwise, grab them at eluxury for their full $450 pricetag.

not much can make me more anxious for warm weather than hot pink satin…except, perhaps, ruffles. this colette pump is just begging for a fab flirty dress in a contrasting print, or to update last season’s bubble skirts. for shoes this hot, i might even be able to get on board with a shorts-pairing. maybe. grab them on sale for $300 at shopbop.

here’s something i never even knew i needed before now – a camel flat. honestly, how endlessly practical can you get…and how did i not know that this was an even bigger necessity in life than the camel heel? at least for my 5’8″ frame, flats are my footwear of choice. the camel color is virtually guaranteed to make your legs look a mile longer (and slimmer), and the ruffles (again with the ruffles!) keep them from being too matronly. these would be the ultimate go-to for any “i have no shoes to match this outfit!” emergency, and they’re a great way to lighten winter basics for warmer weather. in short, this is possibly the perfect shoe…and it can be yours for $425 from bluebee.

and for those of you drooling, but unable to partake, i do have one lovely little gift. remember those fantastic raspberry pumps i was loving this fall? well, the red version is are now on sale for a frighteningly good $135 at shopjake. as they say, if the shoe fits…

deal of the day: lux markdowns at eluxury and NAP

wow…the summer sale season is upon us. so many choices, so little time…especially considering how quickly sale styles tend to sell out.

from our dear friends over at eluxury, i’ve been craving these gloves by carolina amato since i first spied them. true, it’s so not glove season. but when the weather turns cold again (and, believe me, it will), you’ll be the ultimate fashion diva in these opera-length beauties. i love the classic style of the terra, but the funky yellow is tough to pass up.

and these python d’orsay buckle flats from hollywould are just dripping with style, all for about $130 (down from $330, i might add).

and, i love that elux isn’t afraid to give us a shot at some true classics on sale. there are some lovely paige denim styles marked down to about $120, including my favorite fit, hollywood hills, which you can score for about 30% off.

ooh, and free shipping sitewide…i do love eluxury!

over at net-a-porter, this ultra-luxe tote by miu miu is the ultimate weekday accessory. use it to tote files to the office in the most stylish way possible. then, dress it down for the weekend by carrying it messenger-style. two bags for one price…and that price happens to be 50% off of the original. prada style for under $600 is tough to pass up, don’t you think?

and this’ll be gone before i even finish this post, but $200 for the teri tote by marc jacobs is just enough to make this monday fabulous.

if i hit the lottery in the next few hours, my first stop is going to be this stunning missoni coat – at $1,500, it’s still a serious splurge, but talk about a timeless statement piece. your grandkids will be arm-wrestling at your funeral over who scores this stunner.

deal of the day: 30% off via neiman marcus private sale

(yves saint laurent rive gauche bag, $1,995 less 30%)

sigh…practical is so very overrated.

if you’re feeling less practical than i am, don’t miss the private sale event at neiman marcus, today only. take 30% off selected spring merchandise – just watch for those little green “private event 30% off” tags as you’re looking around, or you’re bound to disappoint yourself when you settle on something that isn’t included in the sale.

oh, you can only access it through this link. and use code NMMAY for free shipping while you’re at it.

can’t talk now…off to find someone to whom i can sell my body in exchange for that lovely bit of leather above.

(ps…speaking of sales, new markdowns at eluxury start today, and they include free shipping at any price. not a bad way to start the week.)

start your engines….the holiday sales are upon us

i can hardly believe we’re here already….and i hardly know where to begin. today, just a quick little spin around the eluxury sale. but tomorrow….hold on to your hats! and maybe start browsing around tobi.com. you know, just window shopping….

anyway, elux has some pretty fabulous markdowns happening – amazingly, no bags i love, but i would definitely direct your attention to the tods ballerinas, the marc jacobs pumps i’ve been lusting after for 3 months, those michael kors flat boots i’ve also been lusting after for months, and what i have to admit is a really darling sweater dress by juicy couture (love the ruffled bib front – i can completely see this with a cardigan and some colored tights).

the best news? every last thing i’ve named here is under $250. see? i’m not completely evil…

ooh, and while we’re talking sales, the one-in-a-blue-moon shopbop sale event is upon us. i don’t think i need to give you much help on maxing this one out! details are below…happy hunting!
