Brighten up!

I’m not sure about you, but I am so ready for spring. Can’t wait to start wearing bright colors, light dresses (no, with leggings and long sleeved tees does not count) and tanning lotion (after all, a bare leg necessity…). While still waiting for that sun to rise, shine and bring some warmth, why not do all of the above yourself? No, I am not talking about braving the cold and wearing summer dresses (please don’t). This super fun, vibrant and very ‘springy’ bangle by Coach ($148), will definitely add sophistication and color to any outfit. Think about what a one and a half inch thick stripped colorful bangle could do to your daily basic outfit… Nothing basic about it.

Some like it hot…

A couple months ago I went on a crazy search for THE perfect skinny jeans. The good news? I found it. The bad? Many celebrities seem to agree with me… Siwy Denim have a shortened back hem curve that avoids dragging on the floor when worn with flats or heels while maintaining a very long and lean illusion in all sizes. The quilted pockets are not only darling, but also lift and shape your booty. Do I have to say anything else?? Oh, sure, they are hot. In grey ($198)… even hotter.

What to Target - Proenza Schouler

I finally got my first order of Proenza Schouler for Target. I don’t know about you, but when I order from Target I am always prepared for one win plus an array of stiff and definitely not flattering ‘poly blend’ items. This time I was actually pleasantly surprised, out of the five items that I ordered four were actually really nice… Not a doubt that this collection looks great, but so far these are the available items that are totally a steal without looking so.

The Cropped Cable Cardigan Sweater is darling. Even before I tried it on I was already in love with it. It feels really nice, is 100% cotton and it’s actually quite warm for a cropped sweater. It fit me perfectly and definitely does not look like a $29.99 sweater at all.

The Long Sleeve Striped Tissue Tee is perfect for layering. It gives a lot of personality to a look without complicating it too much. It comes in two colors – green and white or red and white – I ordered them both and they are totally worth it ($16.99 a piece). Be warned that they are really made for layering; they are too thin to be used on its own.

The Palm Print Jacket, oh so cute... I do not recall being able to buy a jacket (or anything) for this price ($39.90) that instantly transformed my outfit from ordinary to creative and somewhat classy. The fabric is not five stars, but the print makes up for it. Looks great over a solid top and the Striped Tissue Tee in green.

There are a lot of items that are not available yet, so as soon as I am able to order more I will keep you all up to date.

Gotta Have It Flats - Part II (If $485 is a lil’ too much…)

Wondering if you could find a pair of flats equally dazzling, equally comfy and full of personality for at least half of the price? Yes, yes! Check out these Tory Burch’s ($225 for python print and $195 for solids). These shoes are all of the above plus your way in to the Jet Set club! Okay, I cannot guarantee the last, but you sure can wear them in St Barts (or, in ‘St Francisco’…) and feel damn fine! My friend tried a pair; they looked and felt so amazing that she left her ‘Choos’ behind… (I bought a pair too. Shhhhh, she does not know it yet…)

You can find them at http://www.toryburch.com/ and there are many colors to choose from.

Gotta have it flats

How could you not? The cutest and most comfy pair of flats out there is totally worth the investment ($485). These jeweled Miu Miu flats will give you just the right amount of bling and will make any outfit suddenly ‘put together’. The pointy toe is very flattering and looks great with any length of pants, shorts and skirts. It’s fabulous, I’ve tried these on and loved it.
