Friend Friday: Blog Swag with StylePint.com

For this Friend Friday we did a blog swap. With the holidays we thought this would be easier. At least I know I did. Unfortunately I still ended up a litte late. Although its Monday I still wanted to share my guest blogger post. Better late than never right?

A special thanks to my StylePint.com for her guest post.

On Stylepint, I tend to create wishlists that are within my budget. Since the holidays are here, I thought I'd made an aspirational lust list. I'm not a fancy kind of girl, but I like looking at pretty things. A Leather Jacket I've always wanted a great leather jacket, but the ones that I tend to find are boxy, shapeless, and very unflattering. Skingraft, however, makes amazing leather items that show off a woman's curves without looking cheap. The Battalion jacket is edgy, sleek, and figure flattering, who wouldn't look amazing in this?

 

Shoes

Wedges are everywhere this season and I'm lovin' this pair. These Guiseppe Zanotti for Thakoon wedges slim the leg line or when the laces are loose, they flap in the wind. It's a Guiseppe Zanotti design...enough said.

A Handbag

I've always coveted the Balenciaga City bag. The leather is super soft and looks so luscious I can almost feel it through the computer screen. It's luxury with subtlety.

A Cocktail Dress or Two What are the holidays without parties to attend? They say Herve Leger's bandage dresses makes anyone instantly glamorous and I have to agree with this sequined number. It's not your typical holiday dress, though I'm sure it will turn a couple heads.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For something more casual, the Filament Dress from Vena Cava is a quiet show -stopper. The slightly relaxed silhouette hides those extra holiday pounds while keeping you fabulous. You don't have to show a lot of skin to be sexy...less is more!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And there you have it, five aspirational lust items that would make for an amazing holiday celebration.

10 of the Best Shoes in Fashion Week

Everyone knows that shoes will and can make or break your outfit. Depending on whether you choose flat or heels, suede or leather, yellow or black, what you wear on your feet says a lot about what you feel.

Take a look the best shoes featured during this Fashion Week Season.

 

_____________________________________________________________________________

 

1.) Byblos - These chunky heeled sandals stream fierce and paired with those chains give the most innocent fashionista a bit of a edge.

2.) DSquared2 - Yes, the oxford is back. But now it's even cooler for us ladies. Pair them with the traditional white sock or bright tights for added flair.

3.) Emporio Armani - Their Spring 2011 collection was crafted like the Empire State Building with beautiful lines and shapes, I wonder if they were made for comfort. NOT.

3.) Pucci - The over the knee boot at its very best!

4.) Versace - Totally springy, totally chic, screams "I'm a pretty girl", and so totally Versace.

5.) Mary Katzrantzou - The uber far vintage twist in a shoe with bright colors of pinks, yellows, orange, and turquoise. Who knew a suede hell could look so darn cute.

6.) Altuzarra - Buckles, straps, black - ahh my favorite shoe!

7.) Alejandro Ingelmo for Chris Benz - Platforms are by far my favorite and this peep toe with a hint of watermelon lace up is definitely on my list.

8.) DKNY - Tiffany Blue, I don't thinks there's ever a more beautiful color than Tiffany Blue.

9.) Nicholas Kirkwood for Prabal Gurung - How sexy can a shoe get? Nicholas has the answer for you. Leave these on during a night of passion and you're bound to at least get breakfast in bed.

10.) L.A.M.B - I've never been a fan of "the white shoe" but Gwen Stefani adds her funky twist to this woven lace up heel.

Lusting Over You: Christian Dior Spring 2011 PFW

The Christian Dior label has always been one of my favorites. But the shoes in his Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2011 show are literally to die and kill for!

The clothes were cute too.

Check out some of my fav looks and a video from the show.

Loving the sailor theme! Gotta love Chanel Iman for rocking the Paris runways during Paris Fashion Week.

Big "slouch socks" and booties will be the new shoe new spring show trend. But this trend is only cute for the fashionistas will skinny ankles. Curvy divas DO NOT try at home.

This one is my laptop screensaver! I'm sure you would agree that paired with the right spring attire these shoes are FIERCE!

Served Sweet - Pastry Shoe Collection

Perhaps you're like me and didn't even realize that Vanessa and Angela decided to design heels and not just sneakers. Their PR sucks. Where's the adverts, the campaigns, a press release or something sheesh!

Either way, have a look at the new collection below. Can't say I am impressed or that I even like one pair. The images make the heels look like they are made from a cheap foreign manufacturer. But maybe that's were they came from? One plus is that they do go up to size 11 - yay for my bigfeet divas!

Below - Vanessa and Angela Simmons' new spread in BE Magazine. For some reason her "pink bottoms" look much better on her!

Lusting Over You: Alejandro Ingelmo "Cece" Lace-Up Wedges

I had the opportunity to get a peak at the Alejandro Ingelmo Spring 2011 presentation during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week and I can say I am a fan now. These wedges are giving me a serious shoegasm.

This leather platform 5.5 inch wedge boot, with faux lace-up styling and buckle detail, will put a small dent in your Louie bag - $795.00. But aren't they just too cute to leave in Bloomies?
