Look for less – Sam Edelman Zain

Posted by Sophie on September 2, 2010

I tell ya, Sam Edelman has an impressive shoe collection for this fall/winter and no doubt one pair that truly stands out is the Zain fold-over suede boots.  Retails for $224.95.

If you don’t mind the faux suede and you are on a budget, check out these sassy Sleeved Suede Boots from Charlotte Russe.  In fact, I just went and bought a pair yesterday on sale for $25 $40 at the store but you can get them even cheaper online for $20!  The chic chunky heel and the jet black faux suede make these boots such a steal!

All boots and shoes are $20 or less! Offer valid through Wednesday, 9/8 at CharlotteRusse.com

Topshop leopard print coat – they are back!

Posted by Sophie on August 26, 2010

Time to go wild for these stylish & cozy Leopard Vintage Faux Fur Coats from Topshop!  I first fell in love with this piece when Alexa Chung rocked it over her dress.  You are going to love the overall vintage appeal of this coat with perfectly cropped sleeves and a huge collar.  Dress up or down, day to night with ease.


Less flashy yet just as chic, the gray color is absolutely marvelous.  Get them before they sell out.

As each season comes and goes so do our bags.  It’s time for new bags for a new season ladies (well it’s always time for a new bag)!  These faux fur bags are high on style and guilt free – Peekaboo Crossbody ($59), Ecote Faux Fur Flap Hobo Bag ($58), & this HipGirlie splurge pick, the High Fashion 4989 ($198).

Valentino Garavani Lace FW 2010-11

Posted by Sophie on July 5, 2010

The Valentino Garavani FW 2010/11 LACE Collection offers a more contemporary and sporty-chic group of accessories compared to the usual Valentino.  What I love about this collection is that you get to enjoy the delicate couture style yet that it’s totally functional & practical.  Thanks to this special material called Chantilly, making these accessories completely waterproof.  So no worry on rainy days.  And there’s no lace hotter than black lace.

Here are some of my highlights from the collection:  Day Lace Medium Duffle Bag, Lace Print Rain Boots, Day Lace Hobo, Day Lace Clutch, Day Lace Tote

Easy Winter Styling

Posted by Sophie on December 3, 2009

Looking fashionably cozy and chic in winter is easy when you have these key layering pieces – slim tunic sweaters, cardigans, fur vest, bomber jacket, etc… all must-haves for fall/winter for sure.  They make perfect layering pieces for not only keeping us warm but looking stylish as well.  It’s smart to choose warm fabrics like tweed, wool, polyester, & even fleece in order to stay cozy.

Try to avoid looking bulky from head to toe (unless you live in Alaska), instead take pleasure in layering different pieces.  Make it that more interesting!  Sleek riding boots or suede booties are a nice finishing touch to an entire outfit.  Here are 3 basic looks to start with.  Add on accessories such as hats, gloves, belts, scarves, and jewelry… like yummy icing on a layered cake!
