It’s VIEable: Oversized Roses

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

Worn almost as a chic badge of honor, thanks to Valentino and Sonia Rykiel, roses are a HUGE trend in fashion, appearing on both clothing and accessories alike. Having become less camp and more luxe over the years, it’s high time to find the perfect oversized rose for you. From roses that fall in soft knit layers to stiffer petals, and even the more more ostentatious varieties found in leather iterations on a bag, there are all kinds to suit your fancy. Our picks (below) are for both the modest and superfluous rose-wearers – which is your favorite?

Arden B Exploded Rose One Shoulder Top

Kate Spade New York Striped Rosette Tank

Handbag Heaven Audra Floral Tote

Alice + Olivia Rose & Safety Pin Necklace

Silk-Look Floral Brooch Pin

Ready For Fall Already?!

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

Ready For Fall Already(Click to Polyvore for details, pricing and where to buy.)

That’s right, I said the F word – in July. Probably because I awoke to rainy weather, in the mid-fifties, on July 6th in Hollywood. Unheard of. It’s something I go through every season, after the initial thisiswhatshotrightnow fashion hype dies down and I’m in the throes of mid-season barren sales racks and redundant looks. Regardless, check out this (super) early sneak peek for Fall 2010 – that rabbit shrug is my new boyfriend.

Giveaway: Mr. Kate Rose Gold Knuckle Ring!

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

Mr. Kate 'Logo' Knuckle Ring in Rose Gold $45

Mr. Kate 'Twig' Cuffs (shown in various golds) $94

Mr. Kate 'Cereal' Necklace (available in various metals and cord colors) $24

Mr. Kate 'Mini Nut' Ring (shown in various golds) $36

The only thing cuter than these quirky pieces from Mr. Kate, might just be Kate herself. Not only is she talented (obvy), she is freaking adorable and it makes me love her stuff even more. Knowing the kind of jewelry whore I am, you can understand why this stuff caught my eye. The collection embodies all the things I love (rose gold, found items, whimsical edge) in an original and unexpected way. The ‘Logo’ Knuckle Ring ring reminds me of the ‘Natty Boh’ beer logo, a fine beverage indigenous to my hometown of Baltimore that we used to purchase in high school for $2.99…a case. (That’s how I roll.)

Kate chose her logo as a reflection of her designs, personality and sense of humor. The mustache and beauty mark became her trademark, representing humor (Groucho Marx) and beauty (Marilyn Monroe). Love. I dig Mr. Kate for its originality – it just doesn’t look like anything else out there right now, and that’s kind of tough to do. (Sidebar: Neither does her website with its hand drawn pics and categories labeled with people in mugshot poses – check it.)

So get ready because the lovely (Mr.) Kate has teamed up with yours truly to give away this ‘Logo’ Knuckle Ring in glorious rose gold. You know the drill; to enter, visit Mr. Kate and choose the item that’s your fave, then leave a comment on this post telling us what it is.

Weigh-In: Guest Blogger Laura Coronado’s Copper Obsession

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Fiona Paxton Copper 'Sofi' Long Necklace $357.27

Cover Girl Queen Collection 3-in-1 Nail Polish in 'Copper Penny' $3.09

Marc Bouwer Copper Swimsuit (Image via: WWD.com/Photographed by Tom Concordia)

Inspired by Nine West’s Spring Collection, I am now obsessed with the copper. Spring Blues may the most popular upcoming trend, but wouldn’t copper make an excellent accent color? Think about this: an Alice and Wonderland dusty blue dress paired with a layered copper chain necklace; a blue denim shirt worn with giant copper earrings; or a bright turquoise romper worn with metallic copper heels. These looks could steal the show! Are you interested now?

Above are a few of my favorite copper picks for Spring 2010. I drool over this copper swimsuit by Marc Bouwer; it’s just so fashion forward and bold. More than likely, I will sport my love for copper with jewelry, including the Fiona Paxton Copper ‘Sofi’ Long Necklace from Asos, Candy Heart Earrings from AUNALI Artisan Metal, at Etsy.com and Copper Tone Wood Bangles from Target. If you’re hesitant to give copper a try, you can experiment with the look in a small dose with this Cover Girl Queen Collection Nail Polish, available at Target. So…are you in?
