For the Valentino Lovers...

Image
We all love bags right? And we all love discounts too right? Well then this is our lucky day. I was introduced to Accessory Bug (an online store that specializes in evening purses and fashionable handbags). They have some cute styles and a cute price to match. But what caught my eye was the word Valentino. I love the designer and everything he stands for (one day, I will be able to afford one of his fahhhbulous dresses). But I digress... Here is the great part: They carry a new line of handbags by Valentino called "Seredipity". Similar to "Marc" by Marc Jacobs, these are the faux leather lower end line of Valentino....but Valentino nevertheless. Oh and the cherry on top? Get 10% off with Coupon Code MSJ10 .

Victoria Beckham does denim (dvb style)

Image
Victoria Beckham (aka size 00, aka Posh Spice, aka “those cannot be real”) debuted her denim line dvb at Saks Fifth Avenue last week. Already, Rock & Republic has terminated the partnership with the ex Spice Girl claiming she was “horrible to work with — indecisive and inconsistent and generally not present at all. She attached her name to it but didn’t want to do any of the work – unless she was promoting the line in front of the cameras, of course.” It gets worse… The Sun reports that Robert de Keyser, founder of Dekeyser Fashion (the company that sold her jeans in the UK) claims her designs are "tacky" and "made out of a cheap fabric". Tough times considering each pair will cost you $250-$300. Mr. de Keyser had also mentioned that "The new Beckham range appears to be seriously overpriced for a line made out of a cheap fabric." Oh la la. In the end it’s still going to sell simply because of the publicity. Had everything gone smoothing with Rock ...

Jessica and Sarah in Giambattista Valli

Image
Both Sarah Jessica Parker and Jessica Biel are rocking Giambattista Valli. I don't think one wore it better than the other. On the one hand, you have the fashion icon, on the other you have Justin's sleepover buddy. Enough said.

The Fanny Pack

Image
If 1993 taught us anything, it was the value of a fanny pack. Seen on everyone from 4 year old girls to middle aged men accompanying their family to Disney world, the fanny pack had broken down barriers between race, age, and social status. Then there was a backlash. I believe this occurred around the same time everyone decided to hate NKOTB . The fanny packs were shunned from society, pushed far back in storage or sold in the “sale” aisle of the dollar store. Then Gucci graced us with their version of the fanny pack (we saw Sarah Jessica Parker wear it on a SATC episode and the crowd went wild). Coach also made their version, as did a few higher end Canadian retailers such as Rudsack and Roots . Finally, Aldo has decided this season to grace us with their version of the fanny pack. I stopped in my tracks when I spotted it as I was window shopping. I had fallen in love (see below). I was ready to spend a whopping $59.99 on the fanny pack and being a bargain shopper that says a lot...

Sunday Eye Candy: The Resort Line

Image
Besides the Ready to Wear and Haute Couture lines that designers have, some also partake in the resort line (aka cruise collection). This line is in stores longer than any other line (generally from November to May) and targets those jet setters that travel to the sun destination when the weather gets cold. It is usually my favorite because of the colors, shapes and tends to be more "commercial". Oscar de la Renta, Badgley Mischka and Gucci are among the few that have this collection. Below are some of what I feel are the prettiest little outfits from both the 2007 and 2008 resort lines. Enjoy! I love the hat below....not sure I could pull it off... These dresses are stunning...the prints are colors are beautiful. I love the Oscar skirt... even with a simple white t-shirt it would look amazing! Without a doubt, the center dress is where it's at, enough said.
