This Steve Madden faux leather jacket comes in black and teal. My favorite is obviously the teal. It’s trendy enough for teens, but also sophisticated enough for the over 30 crowd. Hopefully mom and daughter can share! Was $130. Now $82.87.
Check out Julia DiNardo’s new shoes! I just may have to bite her style. From the pages of Fashion Pulse Daily….
I waited, and waited, and waited for my birthday, so that I could rationalize buying these amazing United Nude Lo-Res Pumps! Available in four colors, black, I thought was the best color to get the most ‘bang for the buck’, although I felt the magenta ones calling me as well! Rem D Koolhaas designed these with s semi-automatic design method, in which an object is digitally scanned into a 3D computer model and then recreated into various resolutions. Sounds cool right? They are! I’ve never seen such a pop out texture all over on a shoe before, and to add to the cool factor, the strap on the shoe can be removed, so that all you have is the all over 3D design. If you haven’t heard of United Nude before, the brand recently opened its first U.S. store on Bond Street in NYC, and can also be found online, or locate a store near you!
Save $285 when you purchase Loeffler Randall’s Zola Platform Sandal in black. Normally $475, this haute shoe is now $190. Transition the shoes to fall by wearing with tights and a pretty sweater mini dress.

This See by Chloe cotton-blend, printed dress has SO much potential. Wear with an oversize cardi, tights and some ankle boots. Or, mix it with a cropped moto jacket and some over-the-knee boots. You can even wear it sans jacket and hosiery and just pair it with some sexy platforms. Hauteness. Was $605. Now $181.50. That’s 70% off!

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, right? Well in my opinion, accessories in general are a girl’s best friend. They’re the quickest way to dress up a simple outfit or take it from work to play or day to night. My usual errands attire consists of a white t-shirt and jeans. Add a few layered necklaces or chunky bangles or a pair of heels and a fedora and my outfit is the epitome of effortless chic. I like to play favorites and I have a few pieces I always throw on, just for a little pizazz!
As an ode to accessories, these truly One-of-a-Kind Boots mix retro glam and modern vintage to get a shoe that can be worn so many ways. A few charms, a belt, a cuff and some much more. This shoe is truly a little bit of this amd a little bit of that. Designer Niki Dimitras is the genius behind the brand, Luxury Jones, and has a keen eye for making extremely unique and versatile pieces. Get the One-of-a-Kind Boots for $380 on NeedSupply.com.

Fall is just around the corner. This cute hooded anorak jacket from ABS by Allen Schwartz is just what you need to stay warm on cool nights. Was $285. Now $85.50.
New York transplant Giovanni DeSimone brings a masculine vintage edge to the style scene in Las Vegas with his burgeoning brand Ferramenta Utensileria. Established in 2007, DeSimone was inspired to start his line while working in Milan, Italy. He happened upon a hardware store and enjoyed the rustic, old school feel of the place, but he was also inspired by the treasures he found in the local flea markets. “I soon realized I brought back many items and didn’t quite know what to do with them,” DeSimone relays his story. “Back in New York City, I started to collect similar looking items at Hell Kitchen’s flea markets and Chelsea markets – searching for old keys, wood rulers and wood handled tools, metal stamping plates, brass items from old lighting fixtures.” In the end, the designer decided to dedicate himself to a lifestyle brand inspired by the use of vintage elements, signature detailing and Old World craftsmanship. “Today, we have committed to that standard,” says DeSimone.
The words ferramenta and utensileria each translate to hardware store and tool shop, and DeSimone has worked hard to develop the label’s voice and brand. “The font and logo were selected to give it a masculine, strong, regal and Old World charm look and sound, but the line includes men’s and women’s jewelry and accessories,” explains DeSimone. Overall, the Ferramenta Utensileria line features cuff links, limited run scarves, leather chain wallets, pocket squares, tank tops, T-shirts, tote bags and home decor such as handmade picture frames, jewelry boxes and rock inspired studded mirror frames.
For now, DeSimone is focused on keeping the brand relevant yet fun. He has no plans to expand into a retail shop or selling at boutiques. Instead, he would like to offer customers unique ways to purchase his pieces. “I am considering partnering with a couple of mobile vending trucks parked around Vegas. I like the idea of being sought out and keeping it mobile,” DeSimone explains.
You can see and purchase Ferramenta Utensileria at this upcoming First Friday event, an art and music street festival in Las Vegas’ Arts District. “Vegas is ripe for new additions and new talent,” DeSimone says of his new home. “This city has a great reputation of always inventing and re-inventing itself. Artists and designers can carve out a niche for themselves here while the opportunities are bountiful and, in some cases, untapped.”
Look for DeSimone and his Ferramenta Utensileria line outside of the Arts Factory (Main and Charleston) this First Friday from 5 pm to 11 pm. Be sure to connect with the brand on Facebook and Twitter to stay up to date on all Ferramenta Utensileria events.

LOVE this beaded tank from bebe. It makes a great layering piece for fall. Was $119. Now only $59.99.
Navy was the color of the night at last night’s Emmy Awards. I loved it. Last fall is when I started falling in love with navy as a replacement for black. My love continues even more after seeing all those gorgeous dresses in navy. So if you have plans to hit a dressy event soon, consider going with navy. It’s so stylish and unexpected.
