Emerald City Right This Way!

Last weekend I had the pleasure of making a shopping trip up to The Desert Hills Premium Outlets in Cabazon with my daughter and scoring the biggest deal EVER!!!  Initially I made the 48 minute mini-voyage to just get out of the house while the boys were working on the race car.  The new addition to the outlets was an AllSaints Spitalfields, so it was our first stop.  I had never been in one before and was so impressed by the store's ambience and all those vintage sewing machines!  But the deal was not to be had there. So then we were off to Prada where I could oogle at a MIU MIU handbag.  Not there either...haha but wouldn't that've been nice.  No, it was still $1k.
Enough teasing.  The deal of the day and biggest so far for me was a purchase I made at Bottega Veneta.  The new arrival handbags were bright and blue but didn't do it for me.  We made our way to the back of the store where all the good deals are anyway.  Ding Ding Ding 80% Off signs were on the back wall everywhere.  Oh ya, that's where I purchased these emerald beauties.  These metallic green wedge sandals are like beautiful vines wrapped up and around my feet.  I cannot wait to wear these $1100 Bottega Veneta sandals!  That's right I said $1100, then at an outlet discount and after the sale was applied I left paying only $111.
I love the shape of the wedge! They're even cuter on!
Stay tuned to see what I pair these BV Emerald Metallic wedge royalties with. I feel like I need a pedicure before even slipping my feet into them. What's your greatest fashion steal find thus far? These are definitely mine!

2013 Color of The Year & Giveaway

Have you entered yet?!
Good Luck!

Drum roll please....According to Pantone Emerald Green is the color for 2013.  I do have to admit I am on the fence with this color.  But unlike the motto "Go Big or Go Home" you can add touches of green to your wardrobe without going crazy.  This week we will show you our favorite looks and how we will be adding green to our 2013 wardrobe.

We also thought what a better way to kick off 2013 than with a GIVEAWAY!  Remember in December when we talked about Neiman Marcus and Target pairing up?  No? Read about it here.  Well we grabbed a Marc Jacobs NM + Target Metallic Zip Clutch Bag.  Originally $69.99 (but now on sale for $20.99).  We also felt the clutch would look great with the new Chic Earring from Lotus Blossom Design.  Add these two accessories with a emerald green sweater and you're ready for date night or a night out with the girls!

Hurry and enter to win below

Look Of The Day: Emerald City Sequel

I know you all thought that these Bottega Veneta shoes were a little crazy and could only see them in a dressy get-up.  But look how they paired so well with jeans.

Look of the Day: Emerald Green & An Embellished Tortoise

The holiday season is here, and so are the festivities...from work parties, to family and even a night out with girls (that you rarely see beyond playdates for the wee ones).  I finally wore this Fashion Star blouse that Express had purchased last season from one of the up and coming designers, and sadly NBC's last season airing it.  There are still a pair of palazzo pants that need to make an appearance, also from NBC's Fashionstar.  They're both silk and so they wrinkle so easily!!!! I don't even know why I even bother ironing. 

For the work day, add a high waisted pencil skirt.  I say high-waisted because one lift of the arm in this blouse and your belly button is on display.  A quick switcheroo in the ladies' room into your favorite skinnies or my favorite...Current/Elliott boyfriend jeans and you're all set for those after work drinks with that man or your girls.   





Sunglasses: Cynthia Rowley from TJ Maxx


 
Bracelets: LBD mint sparklers (one of a kind score from a jewelry party I hosted)|| Rings: Icing|| Earrings: Maxxinista Steal!!! I tossed the earring holder card with the designer's name :(

Now, let's talk about THE bag...it's lightweight, tortoise print and crystal embellished Shourouk bag.  You could go handsfree or tuck the slinky chain in the bag and voila, it's a clutch. I follow Lucky Magazine on Instagram and on Black Friday they announced an awesome #LuckyBreaks...50% off of everything on www.shoplesnouvelles.com.  So needless to say, this bag + the BCBG Max Azria leather moto...my Christmas gifts have been purchased.

Go Green!

Here are a few of our picks if you're looking to add a little emerald green into your closet this year, we've got every season covered.  Add a blazer or a cardigan over our top picks for the cooler seasons and wear them with a cute pair of shorts in the hotter months.  We love those items that can be worn year round.

Go Green!
