Is there anyone out there who wasn’t crazy about some aspect of the Burberry Prorsum fall/winter 2010 collection? From the draped, ruched mini dresses, to the over-the-knee boots, to the completely delicious cropped shearling jackets—it was a sensation at the minimum, iconic at the max. And you can see why. The Shearling Funnel Neck Aviator Jacket looks like a cloud in the form of a clothing. If I could justify $3.5k for it, I so would.

Real vs. Steal – Stuart Weitzman 50/50 Boots

by Vanessa on November 14, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on November 14, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

I’m not sure why they call these boots 50/50, when they’re 100% awesome, but I’ll take them! Stuart Weitzman has been a household name in evening shoes for a very long time. Many people don’t know that the collection features far more than glitz and glamour for the feet. There’s everyday booties, bags and wedges to name a few. In my fashionable opinion, each year the shoes get better and better looking, but the amazing comfort stays the same. So it’s no surprise that many of Hollywood’s leading ladies are consistently seen in Stuart Weitzman shoes on and off the red carpet. These below photos are sure to get you less sad about leaving summer behind.

So you might already know about my love for all things Prada and if you’ve been following this blog for a while you’ll probably also know that I’m big, really BIG, on the leopard trend (which is still going strong these days). Hence my obsession with these leopard-printed Prada platforms shouldn’t come as a surprise to you. These heels are absolute head-turners and all what’s needed to make a monochrome outfit pop. Just look at Emmy Rossum rocking her Pradas with leather skinnies, a white blazer and a neon yellow purse. Doesn’t she look amazing? Now even if you were willing to spend a fortune on a pair of shoes, it’s too bad, but they’re long gone and all sold out.

Espadrille wedges are perfect spring/summer shoes. Recently I’ve come across the MICHAEL Michael Kors “Juniper” Espadrilles which instantly reminded me of the Stuart Weitzman “Alex” wedges (famously worn by Jen Aniston and others). At $140 they’re relatively easy on most people’s budgets, but then I happened to come across the “Rode E Oh” wedges by Diba which are practially identical twins but for less than half the price of the Kors shoes. Steal deal!

Current Obsessions – Fall 2010 Edition

by Irina on November 10, 2010

With every season change I’m tempted to empty my whole wardrobe and stuff it with all-new stuff again. These are my current obsessions:

Current Obsessions - Fall 2010 Edition

Go Shopping:

  1. NASTY GAL Shearling Aviator Jacket, $98 – Shearling jackets? Do I really need to explain it? I love the Burberry-esque vibe, the rich brown color & the price!
  2. Rachel Rachel Roy Marquesa Dresscj, $119 – Most of us naturally transition to dark and muted colors during the fall season which is fine with me most of my time, but sometimes I like to break up the greys, browns and blacks with a dash of color. I love the almost neon-like vibrancy of this canary yellow dress and think it would make a great and unexpected dress for all the upcoming holiday parties.
  3. B. Makowsky “Makati” Shopperendless, $288 – There’s something about this bag that screams Hermés to me. Maybe it’s the rich burnt orange color or the textured leather, I just know it would make a great addition to my rather measly bag collection.
  4. Napoleon Perdis Devine Goddess Lipstick in Calypsocj, $22 – Really addicted to hot pink lipstick right now! I think it’s a flattering though admittedly daring shade for almost every skin and hair type.
  5. China Glaze Nail Laquer in Turned Up Turquoisecj, $6.50 – The weather is absolutely at its worst here right now. It’s cold, rainy and depressingly grey. Light up your day with a hint of Carribbean feeling by opting for turquoise nail polish.
  6. ASOS Tailored Twist Front Ponti Pencil Dressls, $65.51 – I think I declared my love for cobalt blue a few times already and with dresses I like to stick with classic silhouettes like this fine pencil dress here.
  7. MICHAEL Michael Kors “Runway” Rose Gold Watchls, $250 – I’ve always loved rose gold jewelry and accessories ever since I was a kid and first saw them in my mom’s jewelry drawer. I’m glad the trend is coming back with Victoria Beckham’s rose gold Rolex being the trigger of the recent rose gold wave.
  8. MICHAEL Michael Kors “Fulton” Bootiesendless, $185 – There’s no way I could end an obsessions list without at least one pair of shoes, right? These suede Michael Kors zipper booties would make a great addition to my shoe closet and I’m sure I’d get a ton of wear out of them.
  9. ASOS Long Hair Faux Fur Coatls, $120.68 – Now I’m usually not one to fall for big, fluffy (faux) fur coats, but this one I ADORE! It looks so soft and cozy, stylish on top and quite affordable, too. L.O.V.E.
