BURBERRY VS PINK TARTAN

2011-03-18

Nobody does it better than Buberry when it comes to the trench. This spring, they’ve put a modern edgy twist on this classic sometimes ‘blah’ coat. Say “hello” to Burberry Prorsum on the left– a leather trimmed, twill trench with epaulets, buckle tab details and detachable belt and loops!

With a $2,995 price tag, you may decide to admire this piece from a far or save it in your faves for an end of season sale. But wait…check out the trench on the right. Pink Tartan’s contrast trim trench has a similar look with tab and button details for only $595 at Bloomingdales. Now, just say “come to mama!”

TRY TO GUESS WHICH SHOE IS $59 AND WHICH ONE IS $665…

2011-03-022

 

You’ve read my post on top trends this spring and you’re on the prowl for a pair of nude peep-toes (with a much lower price tag than the Gucci python pumps)…so am I.

I love the patent nude look and found two options — one that’s about $200 less and one for more than $800 less!! Both shoe have a 4 to 5 inch heel set on a platform. So, can you tell which is the lower end shoe? CLICK THE MORE TAB TO FIND OUT

These aren’t my cup of tea and would probably put me well over 6 feet 5 inches, but Beyonce makes these Louboutin Daffodils hot! She was spotted rocking the turquoise version on Valentine’s Day and then wore the embellished Daffodils to the All Star Game last weekend. This look works for two reasons — it is Beyonce and both outfits are simple. The shoes are clearly over the top and the last thing you need is a fussy ensemble.

Of course, you know either pair go for well over $1,000 but if you want to try some sexy platforms, go for this silver  pump by Pour La Victoire. It’s only $254.95 on Endless.comand isn’t as high as the Louboutins.  [CLICK ON MORE TO VIEW]

It seems like draped dresses are back for another season, and I’m all smiles. Pick your designer, color and cut and as long as its draped in all the right places, you’ve got a ‘flaw proof” outfit.

This Giambattista Valli draped champagne jersey dress caught my eye while browsing Net-a-Porter.  Love, love , love the assymetrical draping and cap sleeve but the fact that it’s a neutral color makes this dress a hot spring item.

Although, with a $1,950 price tag, I’m not sure it’s worth splurging since you’re bound to find similar looks for less from designers like BCBG, Alexander Wang and even Bebe. In fact, this Haute Hippie dress comes pretty close at only $475.

Michelle Obama

This isn’t really high fashion (or maybe it is since the First Lady is wearing it), but Michele Obama appeared this week on the Today Show in a navy and white polka dot dress from H&M!  Mrs. Obama, or Michele as I like to call her, accessorized with neon yellow pumps and truly defined the concept behind NUBIA  —  a fashionable, fun woman with a diverse lifestyle who is comfortable and confident enough to pull off Alexander McQueen or a $34.95 H&M dress.

Of course, the dress was altered by adding sleeves so that the First Lady wouldn’t offend anyone with too much arm action.  [CLICK MORE TO SEE THE ORIGINAL "IN STORE" VERSION OF THE DRESS]

Turquoise Ring from Max and Chloe - $750

A large turquoise ring can be a nice “stand out” piece with an all black ensemble or a chic and casual way to accessorize a pair of jeans, cute tank and some heels. The Max and Chloe turquoise 14k gold over sterling silver set against a diamond background is ideal for either occasion. But before you fork out $750, check out a similar design from Beyond Rings for only $60…I think it’s a way better look even without the real diamonds.

Elizabeth and James lace up sandals

Elizabeth and James lace up sandals

These Elizabeth and James leather and canvas lace-up sandals are a perfect winter evening look that can asily transition to spring/summer. The croc-embossed  leather, stone canvas and cut-out details give a rich, classic look to a trendy design. Wear them now with skinny pants or tights and then for spring/summer with high-waisted shorts.

You’ll spend around $375 for a pair but if you want a low-end open for only a couple wears, try Charlotte Russ’ tan lace-up sandal for only $35.50.

Natalie Portman’s Look for Less

 Natalie Portman is on ‘baby bump’ watch for the next few months and, naturally, she was all the talk on the red carpet at the Golden Globes! The mom-to-be showed off her pregnancy glow in a pink and red draped front Viktor & Rolf gown accessorized with a gorgeous necklace from Tiffany & Co.

Not sure how much the necklace would run at Tiffany’s, but expect to see a lot of zeros on the price tag!  For a budget-friendly look-a-like, check out Emma Stine’s Austrian crystal necklace with earrings for only $129 at www.emmastine.com!

Here’s another reason why I love all things Chloe — The Aurore Leather Duffle Bag. This caramel leather bag with double top handles, textile lining, gold toned hardware and protective feet is rich in quality as well as design. It’s a true classic that’s versatile enough for the office or a weekend jeans and stiletto vibe. It retails for around $1,500 to $1,800 and worth it, if you’re looking to invest in a lifetime piece.

If you would rather opt for a similar look with a much lower price tag, take a look at this Marc by Marc Jacobs leather duffle with removable shoulder straps. It’s lined with fabric and includes two inside pockets for all your gloss, hand cream, compact, keys and whatever.
