Clutch and Go

I am a firm believer that the RIGHT clutch can take you from day to night in the blink of an eye. There is a difference between a clutch and a strapless evening bag.....please know the difference before you attempt to carry any questionable piece. *blink*

This envelope style clutch is from Mango, $69.90. This is the perfect size, the perfect shape, appropriate for work but chic enough for night.

My Cherry Has Been POPPED!

Ummmm, nothing like a fierce pair of cherry red beauties to get you all hot and bothered!!! LOL It was love at 1st sight!

Allow me to introduce you to the Balmain Suede Buckle Ankle Boot. ($1,195) Aren't they sticky sweet ladies?!?

Don't let the various straps and buckles deter you - there's a back zip above those 4.5" heels, so you can slide 'em on or kick 'em off at will!

Enjoy!

Cool Gloves

Certainly not your average gloves.....but HAUTE none-the-less!!! I literally drooled onto my laptop when I accidentally found these beauties.

Get your "tough-girl" on with these short, gold-tone pyramid studded, black leather gloves by Phillip Lim 3.1. I love the rounded back and elastic edge to ensure a snug fit.

Pair with a leather jacket, dark jeans, and a sick boot for maximum impact!

Hey Stud.....

Love fall's biker trend but can't quite pull off the Hell's Angel thing at the office with motorcycle boots or a HAUTE motorcycle jacket?

Go for a subtler take on it with these chic gold pyramid stud earrings. Get more studded accessories for less, after the jump.

I want THESE but I"ll take those...and this too!

Exhibit A - what I want....

This Fall, we are going to see alot of lace, ruffles, pleats, and other romantic touches on shoes. My favorite is lace because it's very 80's rock (which you KNOW a Diva like me LOVES!!).....so here is the shoe that I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want - Christian Louboutin Ambro Leopard Lace Peep-Toe Pump, $825 (Exhibit A).

Being that $825 is outta my league, I have decided that I can get my "lace-fix" from....

Exhibit Bt I will take....

these cuties right here. (Exhibit B)

Yes yessss, CL (Christian Louboutin) does make the most beautiful lace shoes but these Carrielee Pumps by Guess are pretty darn haute!!! AND with a $99 price tag, they are almost a no brainer.

Exhibit C - throw this in TOO!!

And since I have knocked down the price from $825 to only $99, I might as well throw in this $20 lace evening bag to round out the entire look! *blink* *blink* *blink*

Remember my name.......

Ok, I TOTALLY may be showing my age here but I LOVED me some Fame! I so wanted to be Coco Hernandez - side ponytail, leotard, legwarmers and all!!!!

My favorite line of all time is from Lydia Grant; you know, the FIERCE dance teacher played by Debbie Allen, "Fame costs, and right here is where you start paying - in sweat!" Yesssss Lydia, that line use to send chills down my spine!!! LOL

I digress, this September 25th a loose remake of the 1980 movie will hit theaters.....and I am totally excited!

See ya at the movies!
