Diamond kitty

Hello Kitty was my favorite kitty growing up. I had so many Hello Kitty things that it was never enough! Kimora Lee Simmons and I have at least one thing in common we both love the diamond Hello Kitty necklace and for $950.00 she definitely has this one or the larger one for $3,500.00.

Kimora we need to be friends.

Chain trends

The hot new accessory is chains. Chains can be found on bags, necklaces and shoes. A nice one nice one can look great to spice up a sweater or a scoop neck top.



The Luelle Bartley Carmen Biker Bag is made of a yummy dark brown suede (think hot coco) with a chain-wrapped shoulder strap that makes is well balanced bag and the little heart charms it makes it super sweet. This loveliness costs $995.


Remember too many chains looks way overdone. You do not want to OG over too much gold!

good to be green

I do not think I was ever a green person but after looking at those shoes and that bag I could change mind a bit.



Prada green calfskin Vit. Diano + Lucer large satchel for $1,200.00 is made of soft calfskin and has a simple stripe that is so nice. The bag is so nice and not over the top that you can wear it work and not feel too flashy.




Normally I am not a fan of the toe cleavage but in this shoe it looks good. This shoe is not too high at a 2 ½ heel that you can wear all day without your feet waging a war on the rest of your body. At 352.00 it is not too shabby.

LadyLike Loveliness

These shoes are so adorable with their pink bows and leather especially the edge connecting the heel. Although they are not very practical they just are too cute to look at.

The brooch

The brooch

Wearing a broach on a cardigan was one of the hottest things last fall that even SJP was wearing them in the GAP ads. It seems that fashion has said that the brooch is dead. After scoring the best ones from vintage stores or even the best flee markets it seems that they need to retire into the jewelry box.

Brooches need one last hoorah before they are stored away with those mini butterfly clips that everyone once wore.

Bling up your black coat, stick it on your belt and give yourself a little sparkle or be wild and pin it on a headband and go out for a night on the town!

Remember to say farewell when you put in your jewelry box because it did make you happy one time before.

furry bag

Coach has a new Signature ski pocket flap is perfect for the colder season. It has nice pockets to store your needed things. This is such a cute bag and for $498 it is not a bad deal.

Wearing fur can be fun whether is is faux or not. It is not a good look to wear a lot of fur at once unless you are in a really cold climate.

Stella + H&M = LOVE

Stella McCartney has designed an exclusive line for H&M. This collection is launching today, November 10. As many of us know the Karl Lagerfeld collection from last year blew out of the H&M doors so quickly that we were lucky if we found our size the very next day after it came out.

The word from the grape vine is that Stella has drawn from her favorites and put together 40 items for the fall. Getting Stella designs at H&M prices is one of the best things since platforms coming back into style. Judging from the massive billboards that are strategically placed in NYC the collection will have sexy suits, yummy sweaters, evening wear that will make you want to go out more often and much more.

Stella + H&M = LOVE

Love those red shoes

One of my favorite things to wear with all black is a red shoe. Maybe I love the movie The Wizard of Oz too much but when you have all black on the red shoe makes a great statement.

Remember to wear red as an accent or too much red maynot be too flattering.
