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.

White House Black Market: Patent Waist Cincher

A reader asked where she could find a nice cheap patent leather waist cincher. She lives in the UK. Well,  I wished you lived in the A because I would be more than happy to have an outing with you and take you to all my favorite spots here. Patent leather, hmmm.... I had seen a multitude of patent leather skinny belts, but not any waist cinchers that I can recall.  I did a little research; and I didn't mind; I love a challenge. My search returned with the expected results, all of the couture houses had cinchers, but not in a $50 budget. I saw a lovely Yves Saint Laurent in red patent; a Giuseppe Zanotti pastel mix for $333.19; a Burberry Prosum lime green for $495.00; a classic Alexander McQueen on sale for $588.00; and the most fabulous, a Suzi Roher leopard print patent for $295.00.  To add insult to injury,  the more affordable cinchers were costumey, reminiscent of Halloween, and not G rated costumes either. The key to pulling off a patent waist cincher is to make sure the rest of the outfit is clean and perhaps on the dressier side. 

The last man standing: White House Black Market (MIL's favorite) has a lovely black patent, in limited quantities, selling for $58.00.  And White House ships to the UK. International shipping is $30.00 per order and subject to import duties and taxes. I wish that I could provide you with more options, just keep your eyes open at online sites such as Asos and Ebay.Uk.  If the White House Black market option doesn't satisfy.

Until tomorrow,

Day 9: Bow Knotted Leather Belts

A Good Way to Be Tied Down

 

I have been updating my old looks with new accessories, particularly belts. I have my eye on a couple that will totally transform my old wardrobe.

 

Lucky magazine reported the new trend, the bow-knotted leather belt. While bow belts are not new, the knotted leather  tied in a bow belt is a new spin. Lucky reports the trend is best with a baggy, less deliberate outfit.  Remember, opposites make it edgier.  As tiny as it is, you would think that the bow-knotted belt  would not make quite the statement that it does; but it is such an unusual twist on the past bow trend, that whether paired with neutrals or color, the belt speaks volumes. Breeze Ever makes a cute black knotted belt in Faux Suede and guess where it's carried. You know it! Modcloth.  Lucky magazine listed this particular one in their November issue, so you'd better get on it fast! You can find the Never Belt This Way for 14.99 at Modcloth. 

Until Tomorrow,

Accessories: The Belts Have It!

Hello Divas!

I realized that I have been discussing make-up so much on my blog that I have neglected to discuss fashion. My new fashion indulgence is belts. I am loving this fall trend. Now I usually do not wear belts. For some reason I never really got into it. But considering the wide variety of beautiful belts for this season, I must partake in wearing this fun accessory. I love the fact that you can pair a belt (skinny, medium, and wide) with cardigans, dresses, and bulky sweaters. Check out my must have belts for this fall!

Toodles!

1. Skinny Yellow Patent Leather Belt. This belt is too cute! You can pair this with a cardigan or with a dress. Also the yellow color is a nice pop to a neutral color outfit. You can purchase this belt here or at Target. It retails for $9.99.

2. Wide Basketweave Belt. I love this wide belt! It is just fantastic!
You can pair this with a dress or bulky sweater. And this belt is only $8.80! You can purchase it online here or at Forever 21.

3. Medium Gold Sash Belt. This belt is a nice metallic gold color and it can pretty much go with anything. I love the texture of this belt!
You can purchase it here online or visit a Francesca's Boutique near you. It retails for $18.00
