Bright-eyed sunglasses straight from Sex and the City 2

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

Sex and The City fans can be divided into two camps: those who lap up Carrie’s ongoing romantic sagas and those who see the movie purely to dissect every quirky sandal, shade and sun dress. We firmly fall into the latter group, seeing the plot as an afterthought and lapping up fashion’s starring role. With this spirit, the MYKITA & Bernhard Willhelm gold aviators that Carrie sports in the omnipresent movie poster deserve top billing. Originally inspired by flashy 1970’s skiers, the new styles features mirrored lenses and glossy sheet metal frames. From alpine slopes to city streets, these shades have a forward look that best suits bold style setters like Bradshaw.

Mykita & Bernhard Willhelm limited-edition “Franz”, “Sepp” and “Luke” metal sunglasses, $585 each.

Mary Jane Monday: Louboutin Luly 140 sandals

Monday, May 17th, 2010

Mary Jane Monday is usually a bit of a high street zone, without a great deal of glamour or excess going on, so I was pleased to see that Christian Louboutin has recently tried his hand at designing this most feminine of shoe styles.

The result is every bit as sexy and sophisticated as you’d expect from the God of heels, but with an extra cheeky portion of girliness. In fact, I’m fairly sure that Monsieur L based this style on a Start Rite shoe I used to wear when I was at primary school, but he’s given it a grown-up edge with a grown-up price to match!

Rubik Quilted Debbie Mini Bag of Marc Jacobs

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

We are never huge admirers of nylon accoutrements at PurseBlog. In assertive situations I can absolutely accept why it is the best option, but typically, it is not a actual I would choose. Yet sometimes a artist finds a way to amalgamate nylon with added abstracts and accomplish it appealing. That is what the Marc Jacobs Rubik Checky Debbie Mini Bag brings us, a aggregate of abstracts on a admirable design.

We are Marc Jacobs fan girls (ok, mostly Amanda is) and abounding of his designs are both antic and beautiful. The mini bag appearance is actual on trend appropriate now. But the mini bag is not for everyone. The contour on Saks cutting this bag is 5′5″, which can accord you an abstraction how it would attending on you. With my getting so tall, I tend to devious abroad from mini bags. But that is all claimed preference.

Let’s get to the blow of the data of this bag. It is accessible in both atramentous and purple. Amethyst is one of my admired colors on handbags. It works able-bodied with blacks, blues, tans, and neutrals. The bag itself is actual evocative of Marc Jacobs, with checky nylon account by pebble-textured leather. The crossbody band has a 12.5″ bead and there is a top zip cease beneath a alluring breeze accessory top. The abstracts are 6¼”W X 6″H X 2½”D. This bag is little and lovely.
