Bag of the Week – Anais Bag

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageIt can be hard to add fun, punchy colors to your wardrobe (trust us! we know! – black is a mainstay in our closets). So instead of forcing yourself to wear a watermelon-colored top or a bright blue dress, why not step up the color with a lovely purse? The Anais bag is a soft, sea green color with blue undertones and with it’s unique embroidery from top to bottom, it makes a statement on its own. Plus, it matches with black … or any other colors you want to wear today. And FYI, no one will be looking at your outfit anyway, not when you’re carrying this bag!

Where to Buy – Anthropologie.com

Price – $198.00

FashionTribes – Bold Hued Tights And How To Wear Them (For Less!)

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageWhether you’re trying to eek just a bit more wear out of those floaty floral frocks from summer/fall, step out in your peep-toes after the mercury’s started to seriously dip, or just wanna stay warm, few items up the sass factor of a frock or skirt like statement hosiery.


Exhibit A – A-list runways like Rodarte, Gucci, Alexander Wang, Marc Jacobs & Chanel – all of which showed creative takes on statement legwear. And while we’re more than fond of Falke & Fogal, not to mention wonky for Wolford €¦ the prices? Eh, not so much.


Instead, check out Coccolare – Italian for ‘to pamper’ – where you can snag (but not literally!) high-end hosiery (that doesn’t snag) direct from boutique Italian manufacturers at seriously shocking prices.



Find out more on how to get this bright hued trend for yourself … and for less! Just click over to our friends at FashionTribes!

Daily Obsesh – Satya Jewelry Turquoise Triple Necklace

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageDuring the holidays, we often find ourselves scrambling to get gifts for just about everyone €¦ parents, siblings, friends, the boyfriend and the boss. With so many on the list, it€™s almost impossible to think of something truly meaningful to give. Dad gets a tie, mom a new silk scarf and the boss, something simple like a nice bottle of Malbec.


What about your best friend, though? A bottle of red nor a silk scarf just won€™t do. You want something special that will truly touch her. If she€™s a jewelry lover (and who isn€™t?) the Satya Jewelry Turquoise Triple Necklace is the perfect find.


A single turquoise bead is strung alongside two pendants etched with the tree of life and a lotus blossom on a gorgeous 24K gold chain. The handcrafted charms symbolize healing, faith and hope. Surely we could all use those things for Christmas.



Where to Buy – Max and Chloe



Price – $78.00

Daily Obsesh – La Mer Onyx Blk Square Watch

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageTry to wrap your head around this – or better yet, wrap this watch around your wrist! That’s right. The Onyx Blk Square from La Mer Collections is a much more fashionable way to tell the time (rather than glancing at your iPhone 4 … that’s so last season). It has an extra long leather strap and black chains that wrap around your wrist to look like an elegant, yet edgy bracelet that just so happens to have a clock on it. You can sport it anytime (Get it? Time? Okay, maybe that wasn’t funny). But seriously, get this watch/bracelet/statement piece. It’s a major win.

Price – $105.00

Street Style – Androgynous Good Looks

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageAndrogyny has long been a sexy look that isn’t as in your face as a leg baring mini, but has an appeal all it’s own. With the likes of David Bowie, Agyness Deyn, and Diane Keaton in Annie Hall pioneering for the androgynous look and becoming sex symbols for it, this is a style worth giving a shot.


Sure, boyfriend jeans and blazers have become a casual staple, but to nail the androgynous look, really step it up and commit. It’s about looking neither male nor female … just fashionable!


Ruffled blouses, cigarette pants, fitted blazers, shiny oxfords and sharp fedoras are all easy ways adopt a stylish look that is neither masculine or feminine. Also try oversized sweaters or worn denim for a casual take or add suspenders for a funky touch!


Keep hair sleek and slicked back and make-up to a minimum. Try just a bold red lip or a stick to a severe smoky eye to add just a touch of powerful femininity. Chain jewelry and chunky pendants are a great way to adorn the ensemble. Click the slideshow for some fave picks on how to get the androgynous look just right!

Recession Chic – The Perfect Winter Coat For $100 Or Less!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageThe freezing temperatures outdoors has made it a necessity to bundle up in cozy layers and thick winter coats just to maintain a tolerable body temperature. But while staying warm is the top priority, not looking like a disheveled hobo is pretty high on the list too.


Minimize the bulk by finding a coat made of an insulating material like wool, or really stay toasty with a trendy faux fur or even (faux) fur-lined piece. With so many different styles and cuts in winter coat fashions, there’s one to flatter every body type.


Look for a cropped version that hits no lower than high-hip to elongate legs, or opt for a longer version with a cinched waist to show off a slim midsection and create an hourglass shape. Double breasted versions are classic, while moto style zipper details make your look edgy and youthful.


The best thing about a good winter coat is that you don’t have to spend big bucks to stay warm and stylish. For $100 or less, you can snag yourself the perfect look. Or get one that’s classic and another that’s edgy to play up your naughty and nice sides!


Click the slideshow to see a variety of sleek and chic winter coats at $100 or less!
