Look at this gorgeous patent d’Orsay pump by the Manolo. Available at Bergdorf’s, it’s part of his 2009 resort collection. Can’t you just see these looking hot with a floor length stunner or your everyday jeans?
Sure, the economy’s sinking like the Titanic, but I’m going down with the ship looking mahvelous dahling.

I love the mad-hatter elegance of this Yves Saint Laurent Arty Dots ring — it’s like something Diana Vreeland or Little Edie would’ve worn to some wildly eccentric and decadent tea party.
It’s pricey, but at $195 it’s not stratospheric like most YSL pieces. Available at Saks.

If so, find them, and similarly blingged out gear here from designer Ann Hand.

Finding knee high boots that don’t look like a band of drunk monkeys put them together for under $50 can be a challenge.
These Union Bay Claremont Boots jumped out at me as a smart buy for several reasons:
a) Plenty of slouch means loads of styling versatility.
b) The rich, yet neutral colour offers myriad mix & [...]

I’ve been seeing Linea Pelle bags a lot lately, I’m not sure why that is but it sure does make me want one more than ever.
Lest I turn into a bag lady I can’t justify spending full price on yet another designer bag to feed my growing collection so I’ve found them at Regents Secret [...]

As many of you know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so we’d be remiss if we didn’t give you the opportunity to show your support and look and feel great doing it.
Here are some of our choices, purchase any or all, and a portion of the proceeds go to putting an end to this [...]
