Comme des Garcons Homme Jacket with Applique $1,739.93 Browns Fashion
I've always been a fan of Comme des Garcons. They've created innovative and fashion forward garments through the years. But sometimes harnessing all that creative juices can be a good thing or else... disaster! And that is just what this men's jacket with applique is. The design is so wrong it's criminal. It looks like a home economics project. And the price??? absolutely ridiculous. I rest my case.

This Versace shopper suits the name 'Scream' perfectly. It screams style, modern, chic and expensive! The fusion of the bold colors, floral pattern leather, ruched sides and braided leather handles is just divine. And I love the metal conical studs tracing the curve of the handbag.

Sarah Jessica Parker SJP NYC Perfume 1.0 Oz $35.00 2.0 Oz $49.00 Macy's.
SJP NY Perfume is now available in fine department stores nationwide.

When I first experienced SJP NYC Perfume... New York, fun, stylish, and Carrie Bradshaw came to mind! A perfect blend of fruit and floral scents that you can wear day or evening and would compliment any look. The perfume bottle nestles fabulously in a canister adorned with vibrant colors and bold patterns. I totally like the canister idea. This way you can have your SJP NY perfume in your handbag without the worries of spills, breakage, etc. Lastly, gotta love the price! SJP NYC is definitely one of my top fragrance picks for spring/summer. Macy's has a bonus offer with any $49 SJP NYC purchase, receive a free cosmetic bag (shown left). Offer good while supplies last.

This cowl neck dress by Prairie Underground is simply eco-chic! Love the silhouette. And it is quite stylish. The pockets gives the dress some edge. Made with 50% organic cotton and 50% recycled polyester. A garment you can wear any season. Easily pair it with knee high boots or ballet flats.

TAG Heuer 'Squadra' Men's Sunglasses MSRP $350. Click here for the retailer nearest you.
(shown below) Tag Heuer 'Grand Carrera' Stainless Steel Watch $3,500 Nordstrom

Known for high-quality, luxury watches TAG Heuer launched a collection of innovative and stylish sunglasses a couple of months ago. Personally, I'm not a big fan of 'sporty' shades. And usually when I see someone off the field wearing these -- say with a sports coat while out to lunch with their co-workers -- it makes me cringe. But the 'Squadra' line deserves a second look.

On the athletic front, they are very well designed to provide all the things that the athlete would need. They fit well under a helmet, have a singular, slightly flexible lens for a full field of view, and fit any face very well.

Although they are designed to stay put on your face -- and they are snug -- they are also remarkably lightweight and expertly balanced. I am sure they are the lightest shades I have ever worn. And there are no moving parts in the uni-body form.


A far cry from the typical shiny, mirrored sport shades we see all the time. An active male could splurge on these sunglasses and wear them from the field to lunch on the town without worrying about offending my sensibilities.

Diamond Cut Leather Satchel $99.00, Ruffle Sleeveless Blouse $111.99, 'Kalena' Peep-Toe Pump $38.99. *Prices reflects sale price before any other discounts.

Hello my fabulous readers and friends! It truly feels like it's been ages since I wrote anything. With my work schedule back to 'normal', things are more manageable. And I do appreciate the continued support. So, here goes!

Holiday deals may be officially over but in fact, a majority of retailers are having some must-shop sale events. Take Anne Klein for example. Save an additional 25% OFF on already reduced merchandise. Shop their wide selection of shoes, apparel and accessories. I actually enjoyed browsing the sale merchandise. The items don't look like they came from the back of a closet. And most certainly no slim-pickins'.

A great sale to shop for your spring wardrobe. As an added bonus, free shipping on purchases of $75 or more. No coupon code needed and sale ends this Monday, 1/18/10. Happy Shopping!
