Handbag Pick of the Week 18: DVF Lytton Snakeskin Clutch

Posted in Handbag Picks | 1 comment

Here’s my 18th Handbag Pick. Diane von Furstenberg’s Lytton Snakeskin Clutch. Lovely isn’t it? They are elegant, very handy and comes in lots of colors! I think if its me I wanna have all colors – coral/black, green/black, or blush/black animal-print watersnake. What caught my attention about this little clutch bag aside from the print is its rounded structured body. Not your usual clutch right?

I was thinking I already posted it coz my Shoe Pick of The Week has been up for a few days already. Lol! to me. I just forgot to post it!  I’m becoming more and more forgetful, and no this ain’t no thermogenesis effect. I was simply caught up with lots of things to do, added to the fact that I am really getting older. I think its time to take out the supplements and eat more nuts. More Handbag pick next week. See yah.

Fashion For Less 01: Two Glam Day-Out Looks

Posted in Fashion, Fashion On Sale! | 0 comments

Here’s the first of what I hope to be a weekly posting topic. I love designer brands, but I have yet to meet a Russian billionaire who would buy me endless supplies of designer duds so like most women (IMO), I watch how much I spend on things like clothes, shoes, accessories, bags etc.

So I’m starting out this Fashion for Less series. I’ll be creating looks out of fashion finds that wouldn’t cost mega bucks. I’ll be picking out items I see online that are (1) PRETTY and STYLISH (2) SELLS FOR LESS THAN $50.

Aside from looks I mash up, expect also some random postings of finds that are worth a few bucks.

This look actually just started with me seeing that shoe..I managed to pick out items to create two different looks for a casual but glam girls day-out look.

Only in My Dreams #5: Lanvin, Azzaro + Accessories

Posted in Accessories, Fashion, Fashion Looks, Women's Apparel | 0 comments

I was in a dress up myself lavishly mood yesterday, so I went shopping. Only virtually and I did put everything in cart but left everything there. I love surf shopping online, creating looks, picking items I like. It’s weird but it satisfy my craving to shop and I don’t spend even a dime.

Anyway, here’s what I fancied yesterday. And it just occurred to me that these stuff are so expensive {for me} so its going to my Only in My Dreams category. The cheapest thing is the Halston Heritage clutch bag ($245) and that is even still expensive for a cheapskate like me..

All items from Net-a-Porter.com

only-in-my-dreams_5

  1. Lanvin – Cotton and silk-blend strapless dress – $4955 – very feminine, and I love the soft neutral shade. Very easy to accessorize and perfect for cocktail parties.
  2. Lanvin – Sac Oulouette satin clutch – $750 – elegant. Something I would love to have and can use for different events and can match a lot of colors.
  3. Erickson Beamon – Razor Edge Necklace – $980 – romantic yet has that cool edgy appeal. I would love to wear this with the Lanvin dress, the necklace would give the otherwise ultra feminine dress a little bit of rock chick look.
  4. Christian Louboutin – Canonita 100 crepe-satin sandals – $995. Super elegant, and I just love that ruffle embellishment.
  5. Azzaro – Jehanne tie-front leather dress – $4720 – sooo glamorous. I would definitely feel like a million dollars with this one.
  6. Annina Vogel – Rock Chick charm necklace – $1470 -vintage-y and has a very understated appeal. I wanna pair it with the Azzaro dress. The dress itself is attention grabbing (IMO =P) so I want something subtle but feminine and this necklace is IT.
  7. Jimmy Choo – Nexus snakeskin and lace sandals – $1295. Ohhh I love this. It’s a statement shoe and has that totally glamorous urban look.If there is one thing among this list that I would really consider buying for real. This is it.
  8. Halston Heritage – Alice oversized pleated leather clutch – $245. With up the glamor ante of any outfit.
