Real vs. Steal – Burberry Strapped Platform Peep-toe Booties

by Irina on December 22, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on November 18, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

Burberry is currently leading the fash pack and if you ask me the success began with Christopher Bailey’s S/S 2009 collection. Remember all those pastel ruched trenchcoats? Perfection! Just like these pretty satin peep-toe platform booties!

Dollhouse “Phillyn” Peep-toe Ankle Boots

While these ankle boots by Dollhouse don’t come in the delicate blush satin as shown above, they do come in black or taupe satin and are almost spot-on knockoffs of the Burberry booties.

And for all our Burberry fans in Europe and the UK, shoe e-tailer Office didn’t miss out on the Burberry train as well and came out with a surprisingly similar pair.

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.

Real vs. Steal – 3.1 Phillip Lim Edie Bow Studded Bag

by Celine on October 2, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on October 02, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

Rachel Bilson is one of my style-crushes. I pretty much fall head over heels for everything she wears. I love that she is neither obsessively trendy nor yawningly classic; she lands somewhere in the middle. So naturally she would choose 3.1 Phillip Lim‘s Edie Bow Studded bag as her go-to accessory. The bow is of course unapologetically girly, but the studs add a roughness. The size, too, is perfect. Obviously Rachel agrees as she appears to carry it constantly! Rachel isn’t the only one, however; we’ve also seen this bag on the shoulders of Diane Kruger, Leighton Meester and Nicky Hilton. I’d love to add my name to that list, I really would, but it’s the same old song: too pricey and sold out.

NASTY GAL Gold Star Satchel

UPDATE (10/02/2010): Just came across another super fabulous “Edie” alternative by NASTY GAL. And it’s on sale!

ModCloth Star Light, Star Bright Bag

Well, well, well, look what popped up on ModCloth? There is absolutely no denying that the Star Light, Star Bright bag was heavily inspired by the Phillip Lim Edie. From the bow to the studs to the embossed leather – ladies and gentlemen: we have a dead ringer. With the much more manageable price of $30, this bag is sure to be a huge hit.
