BALENCIAGA

Giant Brief Bag

2007 Color! Argyle/Sandstone

Balenciaga once again takes your everyday bag and steps it up a level into something absolutely fabulous!! Girls, these bags sell out sooo fast! If you blink, you miss it. And a color like this????? FORGET IT! (I'm salivating as I type!) Plus, they come out with new colors every season, so each time they become collector's items. (The girl at Barney's told me that she once had a lady love a color so much that she bought the whole line in one fell swoop!!!!) So when you see one you like, snatch it up! (Buyer's remorse? Um, the first compliment will cure that, sister!!!)

I'm absolutely BREATHLESS over this gorgeous CHANEL camisole! It's so light and diaphinous, yet the silk lining adds just enough opacity to give a tad of discreetness. And the lace is just to DIE for! Look at that fabulous quintessential camillia design on the black background! ***SIGH***There's a soft drape at the bust that adds the right amount of shape, cascading softly over your curves. And those buttons down the back.....CHANEL logo all the way!

I can just envision this piece making the perfect statement on it's own, or being the ideal base under a jacket or sweater. Oh...stop me! This could do so many things and the style...well, it will NEVER go out of style! I'm a laid-back kind of girl and I love my designer jeans to no end...I would love this with a big, fluffy soft cashmere cardi with my indispensible Rock & Republics! AGH! Pure "It GIrl" glamour!

Coco Chanel said it best herself: “A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.”

Guide to Buying Fashion on Ebay

I clipped this wonderful article a couple of months back and thought I'd share. It's full of amazing tips and insight on finding tresures on ebay!

Farewell to (These) Arms

Oh, girls...this is IT! I have officially lost my mind!!! I rarely list vintage pieces, and this is one of my absolute TREASURES in the world!!! (I'm crying as I type this!) But sadly, this little ditty has gotten a tad too snug on me. *blushes* But this is HANDS-DOWN, one of the most FABULOUS things I've ever owned!!! And it breaks my heart to see this go. However, it is too darn AMAZING not to have a great, loving home and a HOT MAMASITA to wear it around!!! It's just not fair to this yummy jacket!!!

Okay...so here's the scoop: I bought this as a vintage piece from a lady in LA who consigns cast-offs from ladies-who-lunch, and starlets alike. (I really wanted her to tell me which "It" girl had this, but she didn't tell....*sigh*) So we can just imagine Rachel Bilson or Sienna Miller sporting this around town....Can't you just SEE it? But she DID tell me that the girl who had this was a regular at high-end joints like Barneys and Maxfield, if that gives you any clue!!!

True to vintage form, there are no labels inside, save for the "tattoo'd" one that I have pictured. It reads "Benedetta Novi TELEGRAM". Now how much does this remind you of something spectacular and sexy from the amazing RICK OWENS??? You know...his crazy cool motocros jackets? *thud*

I'm dead!!!

The leather is just amazing. It's the type that warms up and forms to your body, giving you that sexy, bad*ass look! I LOOOOOVE the raw seams and exposed zippers. I PROMISE you...this will be one EVERY BODY YOU MEET will be asking about!!!! I wore this with jeans and heels and even over a summery dress. It is just fabulous beyond words and will take you from season to season EFFORTLESSLY!!! It adds INSTANT CHIC to anything you put with it! I mean, you could leave your house in PAJAMAS and look MOVIE STAR COOL!!!!

Okay...so now I'm going to stop. I'm making myself sad again to see it go, but I'm also running out of room!!! *laugh* So take a peek at the picutres....I promise...you'll fall in love! *sigh*

Snake Charmer

I have to be honest here. I have been hoarding this little ROBERTO CAVALLI number for a few months, hoping and praying that I'd have the chance to wear it somewhere. But alas...no such luck! (I'm just too much of a homebody!) *sigh* But rather than sit here and bemoan my lack of social flutter-by-ing, I'm going to make it my mission to find this darling top a loving home, where it will be showboated about town in the most deserving manner! First off, the print is just quintessential Cavalli. And like I said in the listing for the leopard Prada coat, those animal prints will NEVER go out of style! (Oh, you haven't SEEN that jacket yet? Oh, you must!!)

Okay...so this top not only has the print going for it, but it's got the perfect stretch silk fabric and tons of panels so it just practically MELTS into your body. *SSSSSIIIIGGGGHHHHH* And then CHECK OUT THOSE SERPENT HEAD JEWELS!!!!! Ahhh!!! That was totally the clencher for me. Those are more than fabulous....they are IDOLIC!!! *fans self* I love when a seemingly demure piece (if you could ever call Cavalli demure) knocks you out with an unexpected element. TOTAL sexiness, if you ask me. Now be sure to check out those Dolce & Gabbana pants, too. They are TDF and are in the same size! YAY! (The shoes are mine, though....paws off!)

*snicker*

Walkin' on Sunshine

I really don't have the right words to talk about this amazingly beautiful DRIES VAN NOTEN top! I'm speechless for once in my life. (Don't laugh!) But what I can say is what an AMAZING find this is. DVN has a very dedicated cult following and I'm sure some will remember this lovely top from the Fall runway collection, only it was done in red. Well, honestly, you can't BEAT this gorgeous yellow color. Well, it's not quite yellow, but more of a golden sunflower hue. But whatever you call it, it's beautiful and most likely flattering on a wide range of skin tones.

Now, personally, I see this with a fantastic pair of white slacks and heels for a summer party by the pool or even a chic late spring wedding. *sigh* But you could also definitely do this with jeans and go clubbing...oh yeah!!! And I would be shocked if this particular piece from that collection doesn't turn out to be a collector's piece. It's just so lovely and amazing, it's meant to be kept forever. Like I said.....speechless, right? *wink*
