Rose Vertgo Satchel by Valentino

Ok Valentino is not someone I usually think of for handbags but this bag is so Haute! It takes a special Diva to carry this bag off without looking silly and I think I am the lady for the job! Now to wait for a sale price...

Haute New Shoes!

Here are some of my favorites from Bergorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus right now...

Prada Red Cut-out pumps (I preordered) UPDATE: couldn't close these over my foot in size 42 (as you know I am a US 11)...so note they run small)
Christian Louboutin Anthracite glitter slingbacks (also comes in black)
Christian Louboutin Oxblood Glitter Pumps (I have the Oxblood on preorder) UPDATE: got them and love them...they lean toward brown tones in person more than burgundy red tones)
Christian Louboutin Ruched d'orsay (I prefer them in black vs. pewter)
Jimmy Choo
Yves St. Laurent pink and navy platforms

Love them all...but sadly cannot afford them all :(

My New Obsession! Kenneth Jay Lane jewelry!

Working on my costume jewelry wardrobe and it is definitely all about the statement jewelry pieces this year. These are my picks for statment rings...all by Kenneth Jay Lane.

Kenneth Jay Lane has created unique designs for Jackie Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor, Diana Vreeland, and Audrey Hepburn. His continued philosophy is that elegance, good taste and luxury never go out of style. Current stars wearing his jewelry include the Olsen twins, Sarah Jessica Parker, Mischa Barton, Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton, and Britney Spears.

Many of the museum stores, including the Dallas Museum of Art, The Smithsonian, The Museum of Natural History, and the Bush Presidential Library carry his line of jewelry.

You can find his pieces on Kennethjaylanesales.com, QVC, eBay (reputable sellers), Macys, Nordstrom and other fine stores. This a great lower end accessory purchase in lieu of $500+ shoes and $1000+ bags in these hard times!

My Handpicked Items from Bonanzle!

I've just discovered this new feature where you can create a list of items compiled from listings on Bonanzle.com.

Here are my handbag picks.

Here are my budget fashionista picks.

Here are my scarf picks.

Here are my shoe picks.

The only bad thing is that these compiled lists will expire at some point...so go check it out soon and create some of your own!

GUESS Chandra platform slingback pumps

Hot shoe by Guess in cow print and leopard print!

I have several new items for sale on eBay and Bonanzle!

Check out my new inventory! Lots of Chanel, Louboutin, Hermes, etc. I have some items listed for less on Bonanzle (as the fees much less compared to ebay). I haven't moved everything to Bonanzle from ebay but if you see something on ebay of interest and want the best price...let me know and I can list it on Bonanzle and remove the ebay fees from my pricing and you can purchase there instead.

You can save even more by using Paypal echeck transfers from your bank account instead of credit card payments as echeck only deducts $5 from the seller's account versus the high paypal fees. I will pass the savings on to buyer's if they use this option.

Also remember that Live.com is doing 8% cashback on Buy It Now eBay purchases currently.

Kenneth Cole New York Zip Service - Large

I am not usually into Kenneth Cole, however I saw this in an ad campaign in my current Vogue, Elle and other fashion magazines and I love this in the white crocodile embossed leather. This will be a great summer hobo at a fraction of the price of real crocodile.
