I’m a little in love with the latest green in fashion. I loved it so much, I actually ordered a couple of items from ASOS last week and absolutely fell in love with them. Check out what I bought… Ming Green Vila Linen Blend Belted Dress, $16.57. Jade London Rebel Classic Pointed Toe Ballerina, $33.14…
Fantasy Wardrobe lovers answer me this: If I bought a pair of Bally heels, 2 Salvatore Ferragamo scarves and a Jas MB oversized leather tote that would cost me what? Almost $2,000? How about $370? You think I’m joking? Well, that’s what I paid for all of those items at The Outnet’s big clearance sale. …
I’m back in the States. The trip will be told in the coming weeks (be prepared to read a lot…it’s currently 40+ pages and I’ve only made it to day 10 of the journey across Italy). Now, some crazy stuff happened while I was in Italy. When I got home, I decided I would never…
The HEAT is definitely on in New York City, just as it is throughout most of the Northern Hemisphere right now. While most are planning their summer vacations and getaways, especially with the Fourth of July just over a week away…I’m heading out for a very long trip around Italy. {That means this is my…
One of my favorite movie stars/models is the Italian siren Monica Bellucci. The first time I saw Malena, I couldn’t help but think…WOW…I want to be her. [youtube=http://youtu.be/8j-53yv1nD4] Well, for $32 a pop…you can get the same lip color in siren Monica Bellucci reds from Dolce & Gabbana (at Saks.com). She looks amazing, sultry and super…
I am in love with these two new pieces of arm candy I picked up from JewelMint. I had a couple of credits just sitting there, so I decided to just splurge and order something. The Mumbai Bracelet (in the silver) is always sold out. It’s one of their more popular pieces. I’ve been wanting…
I really can’t wait to get back from Italy now. Leave it to Anthropologie’s new catalog to entice me to go shopping for awesome looks. Here are a few of my favorites from their Look Book. Glimmered Ankita Dress, $198. Shivali Dolman, $158. Half-Day Maxi Dress, $168. Color Swatch Tee, $58. Parted Paisley Tank, $78….
Ah, Italy. What does a girl traveling on her own take with her when she’ll be running all over the country for two whole weeks? Well, the first thing is a QUALITATIVE suitcase. My last trip in Europe cost me two suitcases, and I retired a third one after my trek across Ottawa in the…
1. Frozen Planet. I am all about the BBC’s “Frozen Planet” this week. It is probably the coolest and most intriguing documentary I have ever seen. I’ve learned so much from it. These guys filming the North and South Poles have the coolest jobs in the world (figuratively speaking, as well). After watching the behind-the-scenes video…
Who loves a rainy day? Well, it can become very bothersome for most of us when our hair frizzes up and our clothes and feet are wet from downpour after downpour for a whole week straight. But every single one of us would take those weekly downpours for a three-day weekend filled with sunshine! So…
1. Fresh Day, 38 W 48th St (between 5th Ave & Rockefeller Plz), New York City. I am a tad bit addicted to this Manhattan deli that I came across the other week. It’s your typical run of the mill kind of deli…unless you’ve discovered its secret. To the back of the deli, on the…
Have Fewer Things, But Better Things. — Suzanne Rheinstein — I’m not sure what magazine I clipped this quote from, but this motto just really leaped out at me. “Have Fewer Things, But Better Things.” Why didn’t I ever think about that before? Because we live in an age of NOW. We want it now…not…
So I got myself a little pre-retirement gift from hockey writing. When I saw it up on Little Black Bag, I knew I had to get it! Considering how far both the Devils and the Rangers have gone this year in the post-season, it seemed fitting. This “Believe” necklace from Disney Couture ($50 retail) was…
Want to know what my GO TO store is for dresses, especially for big events (like the NHL Awards)? That shop is WAREHOUSE! I first got wind of this site last year when the soon to be Her Royal Highness was out shopping for her honeymoon. She made a stop into Britain’s own Warehouse and…
In my Friday Loves post, I mentioned my newest addition to the purse closet…a vintage Gucci handbag. Yes, I love it dearly! Thanks to Bonanza.com, I’ve been able to acquire a Fendi messenger bag, Prada handbag, and a Gucci leather hobo. I think the Fendi has been my favorite find of the lot, because it…
I haven’t done one of these in a while, so I thought I’d share some of the things I love right now. 1. Yves Saint Laurent’s Paris Premiere Roses. I bought this fragrance a few months ago, just so I could rack up $250 worth of YSL purchases so I could get the free cosmetic…
So I’m a little behind in shopping posts…I blame this on the extra workload at the office, both of my teams in the playoffs (i.e. I have two teams to cover, but mainly the Devils), AND I’m just a little beyond obsessed with trading at Little Black Bag. You should have seen some of the…
If you’ve ever walked into one of these discount retailers like Loehmann’s, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Daffy’s, etc., you’re usually bombarded with items that are cheaper than the department store prices. The thing you need to keep in mind…you’re not always getting the best deal. Take for instance the Valentino scarf. Each scarf retails somewhere between…
Not too long ago, I wrote a piece about a new members only site called Little Black Bag. For $49.95 a month, you get to choose one item from their collection. After you checkout, they reveal two other items in your cart that you won’t know what it is until after you’re done with checkout….
Last night, I got to get a sneak peek at the new Relativity Media film “Mirror Mirror” starring Julia Roberts. It was such a cute event with little kids running about, little girls dressed as princesses and prizes galore for the little ones. While I could critique the film and blah, blah, blah…I’m not going…
