Enchanting Eyes Belt!

Remember that boyfriend with the pretty hazel eyes? Remember how quickly he caught your eye?  The Enchanting Eyes Belt does just that, catches your eye, but without any chance of heartbreak.  The Enchanting Eyes Belt is a statement piece that could be worn with minimalistic prints but would look so much better against a solid black dress or jumpsuit. Flirty white dresses are a trend for the upcoming Summer, and setting some bling like the Enchanting Eyes Belt against an all white tunic or dress will certainly break up the monotony of the outfit. I had my eye on the belt for quite some time, and I watched it sell out before it had the chance to go on sale. I will not make the same mistake twice. Get it while it's hot!

The Enchanting Eyes Belt retails for $54 and you can purchase it at Anthropologie.


Until tomorrow,

Freehand Tartan Belt at Anthropologie

This belt is so right for a number of reasons. For starters, it's plaid. Despite what people may say, plaid never goes out of style. It may sneak in hipster trends with big and bold flashes, but classic tartan absolutely never goes out of style. Take Burberry for example, have you ever heard anyone say that Burberry scarves are out of style? No, and neither have I.

The Freehand Tartan Belt is more than just plaid. It is a funky and sexy way to cinch your waist. Not too trendy because the muted tones are perfect for a number of outfits and for the promising spring weather. If it so happens to find its way in to my closet, you'd better believe it will stay there for some time amongst some crisp white blouses, khaki ankle pants and white linen shirtdresses. The Freehand Tartan Belt can be purchased from Anthropologie for $58.00.

Until next time,

Day 11: Oxford Booties

Hello Divas!

I hope you had a fabulous Thanksgiving Day!  I am still stuffed from yesterday, but I have lots of food to nibble on for the next few days.

Chamele loves Oxford Booties. I do too!

 

The oxford is one of this seasons biggest trends. Last season found young ladies in flat oxfords and no socks  with dresses and pants alike. This season's trend combines the bootie of past seasons and the lace-up oxford for the ultimate in menswear inspired dressing- the oxford bootie. While I find the flat oxfords absolutely adorable, I tend to stick to heels.  Even at 5'7 I am still on a quest to elongate my legs.

 

A good friend with an amazing shoe closet purchased a pair of lace-up oxfords to wear with jeans and button-downs. She picked an incredible wine color that was sporty and unique. I was green with envy at her wine colored purchase, the Nine West Trixy shown below.  The Trixy is a lace up oxford with a 3. 5 inch heel. It comes black leather, dark gray and  brown leathers $87.16 at Zappo's.

 

Some other spins on the trend include the Maria Sharapova by Cole Haan "Air Swan" Oxford Pump, $228.00 at Dillards. The Air Swan is a patent leather version of the oxford bootie that is topped with the velvet bow. A great dress-up shoe to keep the tickies warm. 

 

Anthropologie also carries a purple suede oxford, the Caladoc Heel, for $228.00.

 

Faux Fur is HOT!!!

Hello Divas!

 

 

I hope your Monday is filled with many successes and blessings! Expect nothing but the best of everything this week.

 

 

Chamele still has more days of Luxetips.  She has found some faux furs that are too Divalicious! I love it!

 

 

Day 18

Environmentally friendly designers have stepped up their game and are including a host of fur pieces in their Winter lines. Fur is such a huge trend right now, that faux furs have been given a more luxurious look at more affordable prices. Being from the South, there is rarely an opportunity to wear fur without looking a little offbeat. Our Summer extends well into Fall, and our Winters are more of a Northern Summer. There are some furs that  I would rock in our current 60 degree weather.

 

I am an old school girl, so the two faux coats that speak to me are reminiscent of old Hollywood. The first is a collarless brown faux rabbit that reminds me of the early Eighties. It has hook and eye closures, puff sleeves, and is fully lined. You almost don't need a reason to wear it.   The Pins and Needles Puff Sleeve Faux Fur Coat is $168.00 at Urban Outfitters.

 

The second coat, the Just My Luxe, is a  black faux mink with collar. It is a very retro waistcoat with quarter-length sleeves and a ribboned belt. The Just My Luxe Jacket is $97.99 at Modcloth.

 

There is also a sweater that caught my eye. The Irina Cardigan has a fur collar cardigan, making the sweater a perfect match for any dress and would look sweet even with jeans. The major selling point for me is the detachable collar. Translation I can make any of my coats and cardigans a lush throwback. The Irina Cardigan is $198.00 at Anthropologie.

 

 

Until tomorrow,

Bug Jewelry at Anthropologie and Modcloth!

Hello Divas!

Well we made it to Friday! Whoohoo!  I am just looking forward to lying in bed until at least 9am this Saturday morning.  Yes!  All Divas need rest. It replenishes the body and soul.

Chamele has excellent taste!  Don't you agree?  I love her posts because she is hipping me to some cool and adorable websites to find very creative and distinct items. Sweeet! Check out her latest post on Bug Jewelry.

Day19

Are you the kind of girl who isn't really into snakes and crocs unless its on your hand bag or shoes. Me too! I am not a bug chic either, but I keep running across the most adorable bug jewelry.

I am eyeing or more literally stalking the Sparkling Spider Clip-ons and waiting for the moment the price drops on these babies. These creepy crawlers are made from stainless steel and Murano glass beads, and I would let these suckers crawl on my ear all day long. The Sparkling Spider Clip-ons are $278.00 at Anthropologie. 

I also found a pair of giant gilded gold cicadas. I think what attracted me the most to these was the gilded gold. The suckers look a little real, but who wouldn't want a bug dipped in gold, right? The Magicicada earrings are $29.99 at Modcloth.

The fierce passionate Scorpio I am, I represent my sign proudly. I  ran across a cute scorpion ring in a magazine. It is sold at 80spurple.com, but when I went to the website I couldn't find it. So, if you see it, let me know. As much as I don't like  arachnids or their other family members, I would wear any of this bug jewelry all day long.

Until Tomorrow,


Chamele

Update!  The Sparkling Spider Earrings are now on sale for $149 at Anthropologie and there are only 5 pairs of the Magicicada earrings left on Modcloth! Happy Shopping!

Its My Birthday! Birthday Wish List!

Hello Divas!

I hope you are having an awesome day! Well today is my birthday! I am so thankful to God to live and enjoy life another year! I have so much to be thankful for! I plan to truly enjoy this day and stay upbeat and happy no matter what! Whoohoo! In honor of my special day, I made a little wish list of things I would certainly love to have on this wonderful day. Will I get them? I will let you know! lol! Enjoy!

Sky High Platforms. I must I must have a pair! I just love these Steve Madden Platorms. They are affordable but so luxe!

A stylish yet classic shift dress. This Segovia Dress from Anthropolgie is so versatile. I can wear it lounging around the city or out at the No Doubt Concert!

Clarisonic Plus Skincare System. Oh how desperately I want a Clarisonic brush. This tool is a must have for any Diva! It thoroughly cleanses your skin and pores while also exfoliating and revealing healthy skin. I need this in my life!

Michele Women's Deco Day Diamond Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch. I have been wanting this watch for years. It is large and a bit over the top, yet simple and clean. I may have to buy it as a birthday gift to myself! Hotness!

Of course, my birthday would certainly be complete and I could forget all of the other items on my wish list, if a pair of tickets to the No Doubt concert somehow fell in my hands. I love No Doubt. I have been rocking out to No Doubt since the "I'm Just a Girl" days. I have every album and I know all of their songs verbatim. They are my favorite band of all time. Really. I am so glad they are back together and of course, Gwen Stefani rocks! So if anyone out can make this happen, I would be soooooo happy! LOL!

I hope you enjoyed my little list! Make it a great day!

Toodles!

Purple Is The New Black

Hello Divas!

I hope everyone is having an awesome day! I am currently obsessed with all things lavender and purple. I have always liked lavender, but now that purple is the "IT" color for fall, I finally see its Majestic fabness! I am particularly fascinated with purple accessories, coats, and shoes. Check out a few items I found over the weekend. I am so blowing my budget!

1. Mossimo Large Purple Hobo Bag. I just love this bag. I have been to Target 3x in the past week debating whether to buy it. And you know what I am! It is faux leather, but it is a great everyday bag. Also it is large enough to double as a diaper bag, which is perfect for me and my baby girl. It retails for $22.99 at Target.


2. Lavender and Pink Woven Tear Drop Earrings. These earrings are so cute! You can wear these earrings with jeans, a dress, or skirt. I have seen similar earrings that retail for $20.00. These are only $4!!! Purchase them online here at Charlotte Russe.


3. Street Poet Purple Trench. Purple trenches are so in this season. I love the cut and collar of this trench. Wear this trench and you are sure to turn heads. This trench retails for $248 at Anthropologie. You can purchase it here online or visit any Anthropologie store.


4. Ralph Lauren Purple Suede Slouch Boots. Enough Said. These boots retail for $1150. Visit RalphLauren.com for purchase information.
