Ruched

Pssst! Hey you! Yes, you. Consider this your memo: gold is having a moment, and at the moment, black and gold are hot. So the Miu Miu Coffer Matelasse Leather Hobo is like tackling two trends in one. Double the hotness, right? This bag is the stuff my handbag fantasies are made of…black leather, striking hardware, pockets, multiple carrying options, and Italian craftsmanship to boot. Mmmmmmmiu Miu, I love you.

Diva Lili Levine Satchel

Ok, so after a cold shower I’m back. That Miu Miu Coffer Matelasse Leather Hobo had me swooning, and not just cause it’s gorge, but because it’s also $1.650. As much as I’d like to justify it with some cost-per-wear logic, that is hella high for a handbag. So instead, I’m thinking the Lili Levine Satchel by Diva is a happy medium. Same styling as the Coffer, without emptying the coffers to get it. But you knew we had a fab alternative, didn’t you? Cause at ITC, that’s how we roll.

There’s nothing like a simple black heel. Well, except a not-so-simple black heel—like these platforms with quirky ruched heels by Miu Miu. I’ve always loved the idea of wearing a classic silhouette or piece, then throwing something unexpected in the mix. These totally gorgeous heels are pretty standard fare, until you see the heel, and that’s what personal style is about. Adding in your own little suprise.

These platforms by Steve Madden aren’t dead-ringers for the Miu Miu pair above, but like the more expensive pair, detail on the heel also delivers an unexpected twist. They would look amazing with a pencil skirt that enables a full, unobstructed view of this shoe.

Lauren Conrad‘s clothing line was – as are most celebrity clothing lines – a big fail and wrapped soon after its initial release. I really wasn’t fond of her collection – generic, lackluster pieces and overpriced on top of that. There was one dress however which managed to impress me and this dress has been worn by LC herself (didn’t happen too often with all her other designs though).

Lauren wore the “Christina” dress, a cobalt blue one-shoulder ruched pencil dress, to the 2008 MTV Movie Awards. And for once we were able to see Lauren’s curvy body. Definitely one of my favorite LC red carpet looks.
