Outfit of the Week

Jul03

Neutrals, baby! What can I say? I was in a neutral kind of mood. But, it's one hot summer in Las Vegas and the best way to stylishly reflect the sun is by wearing something light in color. Yes. It worked!

On the Hunt for Red Aviators

Jul01
I blame Club Monaco for my latest obsession – red aviators. Club Monaco has the prettiest collection of colored aviators for $79. I automatically fell for the red. But, $79 is more than I want to pay for an accessory I will only wear this summer. For about a week, I was stalking a pair of Marc Jacobs red aviators on ShopGoodwill.com, but once the bidding hit $25, I knew I was out. That's more than any savvy shopper should pay for used sunglasses. Now, I have my eye on a pair from Old Navy. Five dollars? Yeah. I think I'm going with the Old Navy pair.

Below are other options for red aviators. And be sure to check out "Matching Your Lipstick to Your Sunglasses" by Chic and Charming. It's a great post featuring a great look.

Mandiators?!?! Really?!?! via Fashion Pulse Daily

You are going to die laughing when you read this post from the pages of Fashion Pulse Daily. Enjoy!

In fashion, it seems downright chic to have womenswear borrow from menswear, but vice versa really doesn’t seem to ever work. Prime example? These “man”diators (or  “lad”iators as my boyfriend calls them) are absolutely absurd. I recently spotted them in the TopMan section of Topshop, and every guy that I’ve shown them to this past week has essentially responded with “you couldn’t pay me to wear those”. Priced at $60-$70, I have absolutely no clue who will be actually buying them; I mean, check out the colors that they come in!  If they weren’t so large in size they could easily be mistaken for women’s shoes. The only guy that could barely pull these off was Russell Crowe in the movie Gladiator, and I’d like to keep it that way.

I swear, the designers at Marciano were thinking of me when they designed this bag.

Norma Kamali: On Ebay and on Blogspot

Jun23

I am so impressed with how Norma Kamali has developed her brand. From fine retailers to Wal-Mart, we can all find a Norma Kamali piece to suit our taste and budget. And regardless of your taste or budget, you know that whatever Norma Kamali piece you do find is going to be simply flattering.

But did you know that you can find Norma Kamali on ebay? Norma Kamali has set up her own ebay store called Norma Kamali Exclusive, where you can find exclusive styles at discount prices, such as this cute bubble skirt that's only $50.

 

 

 

 

Norma Kamali Orange Bubble Skirt

Starting Bid: $50

 

And when you're done perusing the Norma Kamali Exclusive ebay store, visit her blog...or rather, her dog's blog at Zeke's View from Below. Zeke is Norma Kamali's miniature dachshund, and the eyes and ears of the Norma Kamali design room. Plus, he's simply adorable and I'm sure you won't regret bookmarking this doggie-licious fashion blog and adding it to your favorites.
