Are We Materialistic Much?

Sunday, February 6th, 2011

I believe so…

I am not going to deny it.  I appreciate the finer things in life. I think the Bugatti Veyron is one fancy ride. Balmain & Balenciaga are two of my favorite fashion designers.  I find the Tom Ford Spring 2011 collection to be quite appealing. Let’s not forget to add that yes I do wish to own a beautiful summer house on an Island in Greece, Spain or possibly the South of France. Does that make me materialistic? Possibly.  Let us assume, I had all these things the Bugatti, a hedonist yacht, the latest Tom Ford collection would I be happy? Surely I would, plus I would probably have quite a good number of friends who appreciate the same things as me.

Clothing:

Ruffled floral dress with shearling jacket:

When summer starts to leave us, the thing we tend to miss the most is our light floral dresses that lift our spirits. Whether long or short, update your floral dress and make it very fall 2010 by adding the must have jacket of the season: the shearling aviator style jacket. Wear them with flat biker boots to give it an edge.

Denim shirt with camel separates:

The denim shirt was all over the place during summer and it seems that camel colored clothing is all over the place this fall. Luckily, they look perfect together! Camel separates give the denim shirt the right on season 70′s feel.

Prints were really big during this summer from stripes to abstract, you name it! To update your pieces for fall season, pair them with fall’s biggest print: the Leapord print. Some of you might be thinking this is a fashion fallout…but trust us on this one and consider leopard print a neutral! The mixing of these prints gives you a super eclectic look. Be daring!

Our Obsession: Fendi’s Peek A Boo

Tuesday, November 16th, 2010

Every once in a while we have a designer obsession. We try to avoid it as much as possible, because of how torturous it is to want something so badly and know it is just too much money to spend on a single item. So this season we can’t help but obsess over the Fendi Peek A Boo bag.

Here is why we love it:

It has a timeless design, it is the kind of bag you can have for your entire life. (With its price tag consider it a lifetime investment)
