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?

Real Life Fashion Series #003: L

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

Last time; my photography blows and I took it on a phone in my bathroom. In other news, if you can get past the ghetto set up and lack of an actual human being, I dug this out my closet last minute to wear to a work dinner for J. Is it stunning? Maybe not, but relatively chic, comfortable, appropriate for the occasion, and most importantly…free.

I’ve recently been able to drag myself from the depths of the panic that often ensues when one has to pull together an outfit for a particular event. It used to be “ShitIhavetorunoutandbuyadressrightnow,” while recently I’ve been opening my closet around 4:30 PM, only to stare blankly at its contents. (Whether this is due to the economic climate, time restrictions as a result of motherhood, or lack of truly giving a crap, I’m unsure.) This is what I came up with, and if I can do it you can too.

(Trina Turk Velvet Jacket: Nordstrom, Catherine Malandrino Silk Camisole: Loehmann’s, Amrita Singh Gold & Crystal Earrings: Loehmann’s, Cynthia Rowley Vintage Slouchy Pants: Hand me down from my mother, Linea Pelle Gold Leather Clutch: Gomatta Girls, Te Casan by Fay Baldock Silk/Satin Booties: Loehmann’s)

Not only was I fortunate enough to spend a lovely holiday week in Palm Springs surrounded by family and friends, I received a gift of a shopping trip to one of my most favorite places: The Desert Hills Premium Outlets. Although this might sound like the seventh ring of hell to some, there is nothing that I love more than the cheap challenge of an outlet, and Desert Hills has some good ones. Amongst the requisite crap-fest that is True Religion, Liz Claiborne and UGG, you’ll also find YSL, Gucci, Barney’s, Saks, Jimmy Choo and Bottega Veneta to name (literally) just a few. Per usual, I came away with my arsenal of tiny VANS, but I also managed to score some great stuff for myself.

Clearly, the outlet deal is that it’s mostly (okay entirely) post-season, so the images shown are the closest I could find without having to subject you to more of my own photographic obscenities. I scored the Mid-City tote (minus the weird shiny leather – mine is matte) at the Saks outlet for $300; they also had the larger ‘City Tote’ version for $339. In lieu of the Chocolate ones pictured, my satin DVF pants are olive green. They’re also akin to wearing pajamas, cost a mere $59.50, and are the pants shizz-nit for Spring 2010 (more on that later). My necklace is actually a pale dusty-rosy-lavendery…ish color, and is a gorgeous complement to the gunmetal chains and rhinestones; it also doubles as a belt. Although a somewhat impractical buy even on sale ($100), I was unable to divorce myself from it since I know I will wear it a skillion times. I’ve always said that it’s the little things, and a dreamy day in my world it was…

My Christmas Wish List

My Christmas Wish List

When my friend D (a.k.a. San Diego Momma: Not only is she an excellent and high-larious writer, my girl is crazy smart and a savvy shopper to the tune of a pair of Chloé heels scored at a thrift store for $11. Done.) said that she couldn’t wait to see my Christmas list, my initial thought was, ‘That’s odd. I wonder why she’s interested in what I’m getting the boys, since she has two girls…’ So I’m a total spaz. Although D is quite possibly the only one excited to check this out, I had a hell of a lot of fun ’shopping’ for it and no, it isn’t my real list.

Currently Coveting: Kathy Rose For Roseark Manta Ray Cuff

Kathy Rose For Roseark Manta Ray Cuff in Rose Gold & Pavé Black Diamonds $14,000

Kathy Rose For Roseark Manta Ray Cuff in Rose Gold & Pavé Black Diamonds $14,000

Last night I was surfing a little jewelry porn at Roseark, and when I hit this (no pun intended) my heart literally began to race; I think I might have even gotten a little sweaty. I was so desperate to share my bracelet-lust that I called J over – he was supremely underwhelmed. Some things are best enjoyed alone I guess…pity.

If you can get past the douche-y looking Perry Farrell ‘light’ grabbing his package on the homepage? There’s some jewelry inside that I kinda want to marry. I bought the Pyramid Stud Earrings at Gilt Fuse for twenty-two bucks (whassup?!), and loved them so much that I decided to head on over to the NOIR website, to check out the complete collection. Turned out to be more of the requisite ‘what I dig,’ because luxe + hard ass = I never get sick of it. Plus I’m fairly certain that that Pyramid Bracelet is single…how you doin’?
