Catherine Malandrino Deep V Dress with Butterfly Embroidery | ShopBop.com

Updated May 7, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

An LBD is a wardrobe essential no matter what the season. My closet contains countless varieties, so when I saw this Catherine Malandrino deep v dress, marked down more than 100 dollars, it was a given that I'd love it.

Check the gorgeous details: A deep v neck, elegant embroidery around the neck and hem, and those FABulous 2-inch thick straps.

This dress also features flattering pin tucks, a silk/chiffon blend, and a hidden side zipper that makes for easy on easy off, --

Not that you'll be thinking of taking this dress of once you get it on.

Diane von Furstenberg Amaury Trench Coat | ShopBop.com

Updated May 7, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Marked down more than 50 percent, I'm loving this Diane von Furstenberg trench.

DVF is one of my most FAVOURITE designers ever; not only is each of her collections an inspiration -- SHE IS!

This metallic linen trench is classic -- as if we could expect anything less from DVF. I love how this trench is part business, part glamour -- making it the perfect piece for segue from day to night.

The length is great, appropriate for wear over pants or skirts or dresses, and the button-tab and pleating details pique interest.

Citizens of Humanity Garbo Palazzo Jean | ShopBop.com

Updated May 7, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Marked down from their almost 200-dollar price tag, these Citizens of Humanity jeans are totally chic.

As far as wide-leg jeans go, I love the fit of this pair of Citizens. Fitted in the hip and thigh, hugging in all the right places, then draping down to a wide leg opening.

The classic 5-pocket styling and single-button closure are fantastic details, and will help make these your go-to jeans.

Anna Sui Rachel Short Strap Bootie | ShopBop.com

Updated May 7, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Part gladiator, part shoe, part sandal, --

These Anna Sui booties are darling.

What especially caught my eye was the great colour of the leather. Mmm! The stacked heel is great, too, way easier to wear than a stick-thin heel.

Updated May 7, 2008

I love Geren Ford's conceptual designs; they're often loose-fitting, but always flattering.

I'd wear this open arm tunic with slim pants, or cinched over a pencil skirt.

This tunic by Maison Martin Margiela is totally a throwback to the seventies, and I LOVE it.

Proenza Schouler Pleated menswear pants | NET-A-PORTER.COM

Updated May 5, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Menswear is really hard to wear correctly, especially on a woman's body.

Basic logic, right?

It's easier said than done. SO many women are wandering around right now in too-baggy clothing, thinking they look super stylish, but their clothes aren't figure-friendly AT ALL.

That's why I love these Proenza Schouler menswear pants. Check how they're fitted in the waist, flat in the front (even though they have pleats), and tucked in the back (to accentuate your curves).

Celestina | Shell Sunglasses

Updated Apr 27, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Love the classic aviator shape of these sunnies.

The black/blue lenses first caught my eye when I saw these Celestina shades, but upon closer inspection I fell in love with the gorgeous black lip pear oyster frames.

Available in orange and pearl colours, these sunglasses are unique eyewear!

Crackled Mirror Satchel

Updated Apr 27, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

I already blogged about this tote on my website. I claimed I wouldn't carry it as an everyday bag, but the more I look at this Anya Hindmarch satchel, the more I think I would...

The crackled metallic leather looks so rich, and I love the double-front pockets, and their unique closures.

It is costly, available on Vivre.com for over $1000, but if it's occasion-appropriate, then why not?

Snowboarding 'Prima' goggles

Updated Apr 27, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Test-driving a product from the team at ThisNext is perhaps one of my favourite things -- no, not perhaps -- it IS one of my favourite things. So during the winter when I received these Habervision goggles to test, I was really excited, because to test them, I had to go snowboarding.

I know, what a task, right?

These goggles are hopetastic. At the top of the face frame are several small, covered slits -- perfect for letting in fresh air -- to prevent the goggles from fogging up when you're on the slopes. Are they effective? YES. They worked wonders. My Habers didn't fog up once.

These Habervision goggles are also polarized, which is great, because the glare from the angle of the mountain coupled with the glare from the snow can be deadly on a sunny day. The tint of my goggles did dullen the brightness, but didn't make everything unnecessarily dark. The lens is coloured a holographic blue and purple, but my eyes saw everything in a browny-orange-ish hue. Sweet!

The strap on my Habers was super comfortable; it was snug -- but not uncomfortable -- on my head.

My only quam with these goggles is that the front frame didn't perfectly fit to my face. This was not visible, because the polymer frame is lined with double-layer face foam, so it didn't bother me too much. (I was more concerned with aesthetics than practicality).

All in all, I rate Haber's 'Prima' goggles to be HOPETASTIC! I will DEFINITELY be wearing them again next year. They provided me with superior face protection, they look pretty darn hot, and they boosted my confidence on the slopes -- so it doesn't really matter that my snowboarding skills are mediocre at best.

There is something sugary sweet about this colourful bangle by Mark Davis.

Check out that smooth bakelite, set off by an array of pink hues.

This small hourglass from Vivre is such a conversation piece.

I love it because it's unique, and when I first saw it, I thought it looked like something from Tiffany & Co.

What's not to love about purple?! This one inch thick bangle by J.Crew is absolutely regal in royal purple.

Flat, shiny, and so stylishly simple, this arm candy would look fabulous with worn with some thinner gold bangles.

Note: The crisp aqua colour looks shockingly like a Tiffany & Co. piece, only priced reasonably at $35.

Enamel chain link bangle | Banana Republic

Updated Mar 14, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

At first glance this Banana Republic chain link bangle looks antique.

Coloured a vivid aqua/blue and set in zinc, I love the linked pattern of this thick bangle.

It would only be richer if the gold were authentic, but for $38, you can't really argue.

Fresh of fabulous finds for spring and summer, I've got my eyes on their bangles.

Note this bamboo enamel bangle, half an inch in width, gold-coated metal, finished in a fire-engine red. Pile this baby on with some other arm candy, and you'll be red hot.

Quite literally.
