Just found this beautiful Kenneth Cole New York ‘Seams Right Large’ Hobo Bag.
Large, functional, and made of “ buttery soft pebble leather bag with a single rolled handle.” Though it retails for almost $250, we think this bag is one to splurge on. It’s a classic, and this shade, “Luggage” can complement your brown and black if necessary. The bag also is available in black and turquoise.
Go for it! Available at www.nordstrom.com
While browsing through Tiffany’s selections for spring 2008, I was thoroughly disappointed, and even a bit disgusted.
The jewelry I coveted and started getting for birthdays and Christmases since I was twelve seems to have undergone a bit of a transition to tackiness.
Their charm bracelets that debuted a few seasons ago are so, “Look at me! I have Tiffany jewelry!” The hearts are ugly and also label stamped. And there are now knockoffs of the best classic pieces, which caused the real ones to lose allure. But the new stuff they are producing is just terrible. While contemplating which piece was worthy to show on this post to convince you, I couldn’t choose just one. Thus I invite you to look for yourself: www.tiffany.com.
While fantastic for label-whores and grandmothers, I have withdrawn interest from Tiffany & Co. Looking for something fabulous and really status-worthy? Check Cartier out!! They have yet to really go down the drain….
ABC’s latest drama-filled series, “Cashmere Mafia”, is making a splash with fans of “Sex and the City”, “The Devil Wears Prada”, and other glamorous programs.
The series follows four incredibly successful (and incredibly dressed!) Manhattan women. Lucy Liu, Frances O’Connor, Miranda Otto, and Bonnie Somerville star in the show, which airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on ABC.
Stylist and Oscar nominee for costume design (in “The Devil Wears Prada”) Patricia Fields, and was behind Sex and the City is now working on Cashmere Mafia.
“It’s totally a mixture of designers knocking on our door or us going to see someone and requesting,” Patricia is quoted, regarding the ties between television and the fashion industry.
As to the show as a whole: “Cashmere Mafia” is great for a light, pick-me-up drama, and the clothes are way fun, but it isn’t quite as addicting as our old “Sex and the City”.
Are we going to continue watching?
Of course. Who knows? It may blow up into something huge, and we certainly must witness that.
Catch tonight’s episode at ten.
New from Tory Burch, who usually (and distastefully) stamps her annoying logo all over everything, opted for a much more subtle look with these glam suede boots.
The Tory Burch ‘Uma’ slender Boots feature a full goldtone zipper in the back, the goldtone metal ornament on the side, and are kid suede upper/leather lining/rubber sole with a fun metal-covered heel. Available at www.nordstrom.com
Sure, the logo is definitely featured, but on the side it’s much more subtle. Of course, retailing for more than $500, they are quite the splurge.
Worth it? Sound off.
Vests have been quite a huge trend for a while now thanks to Kate Moss and a few other A-listers. These days there are so many different varieties - metallic for those evenings out, patterned for wearing over plain white tees. It is often hard to choose so here are my favourites (note: Urban Outfitters is a great place to pick up celeb-worthy vests without the pricetag.)
1. The Kate Moss - $58 (from Urban Outfitters)
2. The glamour queen - $48 (from Urban Outfitters)
3. The clean-cut professional - $48 (from Urban Outfitters)
4. The tomboy - $48 (from… you guessed it! Urban Outfitters!)
Did I mention Urban Outfitters has a lot of great vests?? And no, I don’t work for them!
Rock on!

Ragtrader is an Etsy jewelry shop. Etsy is a site for sells of anything homemade. Ragtrader has many vintage looking pieces. They are all very cute, whimsical and cheap. I’ve yet to see anything on the site that costs more than $20. Ragtrader items can also be seen on AdoreVintage.com. Most of the jewelry is made from brass or copper. All items come in a gift box or jewelry purse. I’ve yet to make an order, but most of my holiday wishlist is from Ragtrader.

Hope your Monday was bearable, LuxBuzz readers!
With the holiday season just around the corner, I figured it only appropriate to start the first official week of December with a lust-worthy item.
I know what you are thinking. “Uh-oh. She is going to feature a $974 bag that I can nowhere near afford.”
Not this time! The item of this week retails for only $14.95 and serves an excellent cause! This “Sterling Domed Peace Sign Necklace” from thehungersite.com is the perfect addition to any holiday outfit and the perfect gift for a friend, mother, grandmother, cousin or aunt. Spread the word and promote peace.
For each necklace purchased, thehungersite.com will fund 25.0 cups of food to be donated to fight world hunger. Make the holiday of a child in an impoverished country!
Really, isn’t giving a very large part of what the upcoming season is about?
So visit www.thehungersite.com and finish off your holiday shopping!
It’s in nearly every mall, and every suburban soccer mom totes one. You know what I’m talking about — Coach, the brand that’s inspired numerous counterfeits, and numerous fashion don’ts.
In an effort to revamp their image, Coach’s current ad campaign displays the company’s new perfume, and updated styles, along with other accessories such as shoes and sunglasses.
These new styles include items from the “Legacy Collection”. Bags like the Legacy Leather Satchel offer less logo branding while being stylish yet understated. Sounds like a deal, right? Not so fast. The pricing on such bags is steep — at times upwards of $700.
Gone are the days of “c” printed bucket hats and totes, and for what? A classier (albiet a little boring) bag that everyone and their mother will have eventually? A good alternative to couture houses Hermès, Chloe and Chanel, whose coveted handbags go for at least $1500?
What’s your take?
Hey Guys!
Hopefully everyone had a great Thanksgiving and an even greater Black Friday. I know I did! You all know what that means though? Winter is here!
So fast, I know! It just seems like yesterday I was writing my post about searching for the perfect fall coat! Now, it’s time to get warm! So, with that, here are my selections for the perfect WINTER coats:
Banana Republic Red Peacoat - $218
Remember when I said the fall season had a very melancholy color pallet? This winter is sure to be different! Many designers are tired of the drab black, gray, and navy outerwear that is routinely lasting throughout the winter season. For this season however, color is always important, especially shown above with the classic red peacoat. Add a cute houndstooth scarf to really show style.
J-Crew Alpine Gramercy Coat - $350
A little expensive, but definitely worth the splurge for this fabulous addition of color to your winter wardrobe. If you’re not digging the red, then definitely check out this great bright alpine green peacoat. Dress it up with pumps or down with flats for a quirky yet stylish look. This wool coat is sure to keep even the coldest of hearts warm this Christmas.
Hopefully you all will take note this season and bundle up, have gloves handy, and stay warm! Nobody likes a cold and a heap of schoolwork to make up after the missed days. If you’re really not digging these prices on the coats, Forever 21 has stylish coats for under 100 dollars. Just remember though, the coats listed above are most likely guaranteed to last a lifetime. Happy Winter Everyone!

Hey Guys!
People among the teen fashion community have been buzzing about what to wear on Thanksgiving. Nothing special I hope! You don’t want to get mom’s amazing dressing on your own amazing dress, do you? I know for me I’ll be sporting a casual, brown Lacoste polo and khakis for my own special feast. Besides, upstaging your elder grandparents at the dinner table is a definite no-no. Nobody likes a Trendy Tracy at the table.
For girls I recommend a subtle top and a casual bottom. You still want to show respect, so wear a button up or a polo and nice pants. Add a cardigan to downsize that dressy blouse or top. But most of all just be comfortable! Being close with your family and being thankful for what you have is the most important part of Thanksgiving. Just try not to get food on your outfit, okay?
