Hot In The Hive: Hermes Enamel Bracelets

Posted in: Uncategorized
image“Made In Austria” never looked so French; nor flashy, nor most definitely irresistible. These shiny little jewels-of-bracelets by Hermes are just what the doctor ordered for a stylish summer. Casual as they are classy, the endless pairing possibilities of these pretty little bangles is just one of many reasons to fall in love with them. Each design of the palladium plated silver and gold hoops is a hit. Surprising, considering the over-30 styles ranging from intricate mosaic to simple Hermès-horse-and-buggy. Browsing them all online, is a breeze, as you can search by size, style or color until you find “the one”. Good luck, though- just one bracelet from the haute-est jewelry collection in a while will cost you more than a slap the wrist!

Price: $385.00 – $660.00

Shoe Of The Week: Industry Aztec Sandal

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageWhat I love most about these Industry Aztec Sandals, exclusive to the Urban Outfitters site, is that they have the uncanny ability to combine like 3 summer trends in one: ankle cuffs, lace-up sandals, and a funky Aztec print. I’m definitely feelin’ the Southwest-inspired vibe with the upper’s geo pattern and snake-y texture, and I’m intrigued by the way they seem to be a sort of sandal-boot hybrid. They’d be perfect for roughing up an otherwise girlie summer outfit. However, at a rather steep $128 I’m a little reluctant, simply because they aren’t real leather — but I have to admit I haven’t seen anything else quite like them anywhere else!

What: the Industry Aztec Sandal
Price: $128
Where to Buy: Urban Outfitters

imageI don’t know where you’re livin’ it up, but over here in San Francisco it’s not quite summer fling weather.

Being Part Of A Chain Gang Never Looked So Good!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageIn the recent fall and winter seasons, rocker-chic and rock inspired aesthetics gained popularity with leather accents, zippers and, most importantly, chain detailing. Nothing says “don’t mess with me” like a few well placed chains or chain accessories to give you a tough biker chick appeal. This edgy style is definitely fun and fashionable to wear, but what happens if you just aren’t the rocker type and still want to participate in this fad? Not a problem. Chain accessories have gotten a softer make-over with thick, chunky chains now being intertwined with thinner, more elegant strands, as well as other more feminine media like crystals and pearls. Now, instead of looking cool but also like you might punch out someone’s teeth, chain accessories are more versatile and lady-like and can be worn from day to night and don’t require a leather jacket and steel-toed boots to complete the look. Finally, more girly girls can now jump on this accessories band-wagon and become part of the ‘chain gang’ without feeling like they’re donning a costume or adopting a look that just isn’t them. Sound like you? Click on the slideshow and see some of my favorite multi-chain, multi-media accessories!

Bag Of The Week: Matthew Williamson Atomic Clutch

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageEver since sequins really hit it big last fall and started dripping off the racks in the form of cardigans, leggings, blazers, and more, shimmery clutches are no longer that unique or unexpected in comparison. However, something about this Matthew Williamson Atomic Clutch seems totally fresh, despite its simple shape and all-over sparkle. Unlike traditional black, charcoal, or metallic silver, the opalescent purple and gold give the clutch a cool holographic-type gradient look, depending on how the light hits it, and the color combo is not only unique but more festive for the warmer months ahead. It’s perfect for a hot summer night out on the town, or a 4th of July party beneath the fireworks (no, it’s not too early to plan your outfit)! Normally a Matthew Williamson bag would burn a serious hole in your wallet, but for 60% off, it’s worth an extra gander!

What: the Matthew Williamson Atomic Clutch
Price: $516
Where to Buy: the Outnet

Hide From The Rain In A Hoodie!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageUnless you live in the United States Of Perfect, there will always be that day sans sunshine. Clouds and raindrops, however, shouldn’t cramp your style by forcing you to either sacrifice your morning coffee as you walk outdoors carrying an umbrella, or your at-long-last perfect hair poof by wearing a hat. Instead, beat the weather blues by slinging on the ever-comfortable hoodie
. Hoodies are great for sheltering a bit of chill, and certainly perfect for protecting your head from a mop of wet hair. Strings or no strings, zips or no zips, pockets or no pockets — they may just be the most versatile form of buffer between you and inclement weather! With as many shapes, cuts and crops to choose from, there are just as many price points to find the layer that works for you. The beachy California surf style is always fresh, and there are plenty of options if you’re anti vintage-varsity-lettering as well. Go ahead, spring: that drizzle’s not going to frizzle us under these hoods. Besides — the best days for shopping are the rainy ones anyway!
