How to Find Designer at 60% Off or more (LINK)

July 2nd 2008 06:32
Who said that just because we are not famous celebrities or socialites, we can't look sharp or 'fierce.' That we can't shine in the glory of looking 'hot.' We definately can, we can! When shopping, I like to find the best deals and quality for a great price. Who doesn't like and want to wear designer, that is, clothes, shoes, handbags, accessories and more. Everyone would like to look their best as pertaining to society and our culture. I recently went on a search to find the best site(s) or store's to find the best designer's at the lowest price possible. Travel with me.....

First of all, shopping on line is alway's the best way to find cheaper items.


1)Best place for designer shoes, handbags, clothes and more items, including Dolce & Gabbana, Juicy Couture, Fendi, Pradi, Fornarina and more...

ww.raffaello-network.com- where items are available for up to 70% off retail.
see attached Fornarina shoe, original retail: $350.00, at rafaello: $139.00

2)Best place for designer clothes,shoes, handbags and other items, including: True Religion, Fitch, Chloe, Burberry, Valentino and more..

www.potentfashion.com- where items are available for up to 80-85% off retail. I like the way they talk!

3)If your taste is a little less extravegant, try www.smartbargains.com- you'll find Kenneth Cole and other's at up to 80% off, while yet it's the best place to find designer accessories at great prices, such as sunglasses: fendi, prada, calvin klein, diesal, armani, gucci and chanel.

You'll love whatever you find on all of these site's. Make sure you send me a pic of your steals!!

Happy Shopping!

My Checklist:Summer Do's and Don'ts

June 28th 2008 04:35
I've been asked a lot for opinion on what to wear and what not to wear this summer. We all wan't to be in fashion and in line with current Summer 08 trends, but we can do without the fashion mishaps or miscommunications. The definition of fashion miscommunication is wearing an ensemble or piece of fashion because you might have seen someone else wear it or 'do it' that way. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS PEOPLE!!!! So I've brainstormed my own personal list of Summer fashion do's and don'ts.

Do's:
1. Wear bright summer colors
2. Play with different patterns and fabrics
3. Play with different accessories, such as earrings, handbags, shoes, etc.
4. Have more than one pair of nice sandals/summer shoes, that are versatile in color. They do not have to be very expensive, but quality and trendy
5. Make-up should be light and natural looking. Mauve's are in this summer.
6. Wear clothes that are tailored to your individual body shape. Example, it you are apple shape, do not try to wear hip-huggers. Take if from me, this is very unflattering. Pear shaped people pull this off very nicely. If you are pear shaped, try a nice baby-doll dress.
7. Make sure you dress light, summer light that is. Your attire should be in line summer trends, sandals, handbags, accessories. My pic's are grecian-meditarian style jewelry, gladiator sandals and a nice tunic summer dress-add a nice handbag and your set!


Don'ts:
1. Wear too short mini skirts, you know the one's that make it hard for a girl to bend over. We're trying to be sexy and fashionable ladie's, not 'HOOCHIE'
2. Never, never wear thick winter leggings or attire in 100 degree summer weather, this just make's us look foolish...
3. Please do not wear loud colors that are not blended well, example, other's think they spot a neon-orange walking a mile away
4.Do not pack on the foundation, powder, blush or any make-up. This is not the renaissance people. Make-up is for enhancement of what's already there, not painting on a totally new face.
5.Hair should be trendy, short or long, but HEALTHY. You can get away with pretty much anything in hair terms, but healthy hair is always in hair. Stay away from long, frothy bangs though. A little color or highlights are always in order.
6. Don't try to skemp around anything previously mentioned. You can definately find quality for less, but keep in mind, you do pay for what you get. So spending .99 cent on sandals might not be a good idea. They will definately fall apart before the end of summer. Shop around for deals on clothing, shoes and accessories. Remember a wise shopper is a happier shopper!!


Hope you guys find my list valuable.....let me know how it have helped you in your fashion journey.

Check my SHOE WORK!!

June 23rd 2008 23:30
I LOVE SHOES!! I think I may be totally obsessed with shoes. I REPEAT, I LOVE SHOES!! I really don’t know how many pair I currently have, but trust me it’s a LOT(LOL)! But what young woman doesn’t like shoes. All sorts of shoes. Shoes give me that tingly feeling on the inside, you know, that ooooohhhhhh, aaaaaahhhh, feeling. Let me stop. Everyone has something. A food fetish, a banana fetish, well I (and many of you) have SHOE fetishes. If I don’t have enough money to buy that “me” outfit, I will settle investing a great pair of manolo’s, pump’s, boots or hills. Anyday…..

I recently saw Sex in the City, the movie with Sarah Jessica Parker and oh baby the Shoe!!!!!! See, that’s what I love about chick flicks, though I don’t like all. But at least chick flicks cater to us, women. A great flick with display great style and fashion, something most of us respect and draw from. The main type of shoes displayed in the movie is the Jimmy Choo shoe. Jimmy Choo started around 10 years ago in a small town in England. Bet he never guessed his company would be so international and famous. A very smart, let me repeat, a VERY smart woman by the name of Tamara Mellon, knew of Mr. Choo’s tremendous success in her native, England and proposed a business gesture for him. Thankfully, he accepted and that propelled the Jimmy Choo company that we all know of today, WHOOPEE.

I would have to say, right about now, Jimmy Choo has to be my favorite shoe designer. I know the price is a bit steep, sorry, very steep for us average folk, but if you can afford 1 or two pair, trust me, it’s a great investment and oh so comfortable.

If you’re wanting to find Jimmy Choo shoe’s at a reasonable price, check the online market, where you can just about find in and everything reasonably cheaper that original price. Try this site: Really Long Link They have great Jimmy Choo shoes at reasonable fees.

Happy Shopping!!!

We! We! Louis! (LINK)

June 23rd 2008 23:04
Everyone probably already know’s what bag this is. You might even know who sports it, especially if you watch daytime TV. I love all handbags, especially fashionable ones such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada, Fendi. I would have to say that this might be one of my favorite bags of all time, actually coming from the most recognizable designer’s of all time.

Louis Vuitton and his French style has influenced and left a huge mark on the fashion industry, specifically handbags. So much so, Vuitton is also infiltrating the jewelry scene with a new jewelry line and more

Blind SPARKLE....& Picking that 'It' pair of Sunglasses

June 20th 2008 16:18
You can definitely tell that summer has officially arrived due to huge amounts of capri’s, sandals, sundresses and SHADE’S or should I say sunglasses. Now I truly love the look of summer and all that it has to offer, but one thing that upsets me is a nice summer attire look with the wrong shades or sunglasses. Sunglasses are accessories and therefore should enhance your entire look not diminish it.

I love Tiffany’s new line of eyewear! I admire that they have increased in their design of their sunglasses. The Fall 08 collection has a whole lotta BLING added to specific pair. I think that it is the cutest thing. Now for the past 6 years or so, I’ve seen other sunglass designer’s dib and dab in added sparkle and bling to shades, but often the bling was too bulky so it looked like shing or the bling was too little so it looked like nothing(ha,ha
