Handbag of the Month

Aldo Schwieson Handbag, $40 at Zappos.com.

I’m totally shopping around for the right white handbag, but I’m thinking a white and black handbag makes a statement that better matches my bold, proud and loud personality. And that fact that this convertible beauty has brown trim only enhances its unique look and design. Of course the price is right on target, too. It’s only $40. What a deal. What a handbag.

It’s not even Halloween yet, but I am already getting my spook fix. Teller (of Penn & Teller) along with writer and performer Todd Robbins have been workshopping their play, aptly titled “Play Dead,” here in Las Vegas and I got the chance to see it before it heads Off Broadway. It was scary, exhilarating and a fun ride to hell and back. If you get the chance to see it, you must check it out, especially if you enjoy fear as much as I do. For my outfit, I went for sophisticated drama. After all, it was an evening at the theater!

I found a $395 Badgley Mischka bolero jacket at Off 5th for under $40. I LOVE this jacket and have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to show it off. I paired it with a cowl neck, gold metallic top. At first I thought it might be too much shine, but I think together the jacket and top work.

I love this versatile pencil skirt. I can dress it up for an evening at the theater, or I can dress it down with a graphic tee and denim jacket. And either way, it looks sexy cute.

I ADORE these shoes. They complement every pencil skirt I own.

I believe that the way one dresses for an event conveys the amount of respect one has for that event. I hope this outfit communicated to Teller, Robbins and their team how much respect I have for theater, live performance and their respected crafts.
The Outfit: Jacket by Badgley Mischka; Michael Kors top; Forever21 pencil skirt; shoes by Aldo; Gap clutch.

Thanks to the generosity of MGM Grand’s Crazy Horse Paris, I received two comp tickets to see the show which featured the legendary Dita Von Teese. A limited time engagement with this Las Vegas favorite show, I got to see Dita on her final night, and it was a dream come true. Obviously, I had to wear something special just for her. And I chose to go with a sexy, retro look. Immediately I knew this pencil skirt and my animal print platform shoes would work. But I needed the right blouse, so I went to bebe.

Are you understanding the fashion math presented here? Here’s how it works:

Pencil Skirt + Animal Print Platforms + Anything from bebe = Sexy Retro

So the next time you’re wanting to do a sexy retro look, remember that formula.

The Details:

The modern-day gold tone pinhead studs and grommets balance out the retro pleats and ruffles of this silk blouse.

A single ruffle adds depth to a simple black pencil skirt.

Basic accessories keep the outfit from looking like a costume. The belt and clutch are re-styled pieces. The belt originally had a silver buckle, which I painted black, and the clutch originally had a shoulder strap, which I cut off and then used a Sharpie marker to paint the area where I’d removed the strap.

The Outfit:

Blouse:
bebe

Belt:
H&M

Skirt:
Nicole Miller (purchased at ShopGoodwill.com for under $20)

Shoes:

Nothing makes you stand out in the crowd like a pair of hot pink boots. I get lots of “oohs” and “ahhs” when I wear these to the office. I Twitpic’d these boots, too, and got lots of responses on Twitter. I found them at a thrift store here in Vegas. They’re by Aldo and I paid only $12 for them. The silk blazer is also a thrift store find. I think hot pink is a great transition color to take me from winter to spring, and as you can see by my blog header, it’s obviously my favorite color!

The Details:

I’m pretty sure I’ll keep these boots forever!

I wore this outfit to the UKLV Monte Carlo or Bust event, which I was invited to by my good friend Sam, a fellow fashionista and one of the entrepreneurs behind Vegas Rock Dog. The event included the Vintage Vegas Show with Zowie Bowie and an after-party.

UKLV is a wonderful Las Vegas-based social organization which basically brings a little bit of Britain to Las Vegas. I felt so honored to be a part of the festivities, I HAD to dress up and make a good impression. It must have worked, because the usher upgraded our seats for the show to the SECOND ROW!

I got the dress on sale at Dillards.com for about half the original price. The beaded bag was a holiday gift from a few years back and the peacock feather headband was purchased in-store at Aldo where I also got my shoes. The next UKLV event is a holiday party at the Luxor, and I’m already planning a dazzling outfit for that one, too!

The Details:

Looped, beaded black evening bag and peacock headband.

Killer leopard print platforms.

The Outfit:

Dress:
Calvin Klein

Handbag:
La Regale
