Don’t Forget to Take a Picture

snap
Ever in the store and spot something you absolutely love and wish someone was there to share the joy? Now there is a great way to share, with other fashion enthusiasts, a photo of those Tory Burch boots you have been obsessing over or the Prada messenger back that almost had you fainting.  Check out the recently launched Snapette.com iPhone app and never feel like you are shopping alone. This app works similarly to Instagram. For example, a group of your friends are out shopping and one of them spots a pair of Jeffrey Campbell booties they absolutely adore. They snap a picture of their fashion find and upload the photo to Snapette.com, which will feature the picture in the order it was received. By uploading the photo, detailing the brand, location and price, she has now made the Jeffrey [...] Continue reading →

Pura Vida Bracelets

slide-3
If you’ve read my blogs on TOMS and Krochet Kids International, you know I love a great product that also aims to give back in some way. I was walking by the Kids’ Department at Nordstrom a few months back when I discovered Pura Vida Bracelets. I immediately fell in love with the adorable little bracelets, but I didn’t buy any that day. I knew there was some sort of a story behind them, and I wanted to find out before purchasing them. I immediately googled “Pura Vida Bracelets” and once I found out the amazing story behind these cute must-have accessories, I had to have them. Pura Vida Bracelets are simple, handmade, string bracelets that come in a wide variety of color combinations. The phrase “Pura Vida” means “pure life” in Spanish. Pura Vida Bracelets starte [...] Continue reading →

Trend Alert: Colored Skinnies!

skinnies
We’ve been seeing celebs wearing colored skinnies for the past few months by some of the hottest premium denim labels like J. Brand, Joe’s, Rag & Bone, and more, but recently more moderately priced brands have been carrying colored skinnies in some amazing new colors for fall! During the spring/summer months we saw skinnies in BRIGHT colors, but this fall look for some deeper, richer colors, which will be great paired back to your basic wardrobe staples like your classic blazer, or simply cardigan. Colors like burgundy, mustard yellow, navy blue, olive green, and grey are just a few of the color choices out there, and you really can’t go wrong with any of those options. If you’re feeling iffy about this trend, go with a subtle color like this great shade of blue or a simply gre [...] Continue reading →

Trend Alert: Crop Tops!

Crop-Top-photos
This spring’s latest trend can be summed up in a short sentence:  It’s all about 70’s chic. When it comes to tops we’re seeing hemlines of all different lengths this season. These can be the traditional crop top or a top that is shorter in the front and longer in the back. I’ve seen crop tops in trendier stores like Urban Outfitters, Free People, and Juicy Couture as well as some of my fave online shopping sites (I can’t lie, I was pretty excited to see a “Crop Tops” category at American Apparel). This is further proof that the 70′s are back in full effect. Tees, tanks, sweaters, cardigans, vests, blazers, and jackets are all getting shortened for spring. I know what you’re thinking , and no, this trend isn’t just for those tummy-beari [...] Continue reading →
