Continues to be FURR-ZINNGGG

Hi!

New Yorkers (and everyone else really), you are well aware of the beyond frigid air. This is not amaz. This is repulsive. Walking to work basically makes me feel like I've lost all sensation in my fashion body.

While we are already supposed to be thinking about spring fashion, I still found it necessary to continue the discussion on fab boot options to sustain this dreadful weather.

Currently, these are my fav. picks for both women and men.

Women.

Christian Louboutin Mazurka Coyote Fur Suede Boots.

Louboutin. Check. Fur. Check. Coyote. Check. Suede. Beyond Check. These boots are insannnleyy stylish, insanely warm, and perfect for those fashionable New Yorker feet. I better see at least one lady rocking these in the coming weeks! Saks Fifth Avenue. $1,695.

Men.

Rag & Bone Leather Hilary Boots.

Look like you just stepped off of a fashionable worksite and into the snow trenches with these rugged, yet chic boots. I'm thinking about picking these up myself! Saks Fifth Avenue. $485.

Kors stays on top

Hi!

Happy New Year to everyone!! To kick of the amazing (or what I hope to be amazing) year, I decided to recommend my "it" bag for the first few weeks of January 2011;) Believe me, I will be suggesting an insane amount of fab bags throughout the coming months. As I like to say, there's never a better way to get noticed than with an exquisite handbag. (Or man bag for the guys).

Currently, your arm cannot be deprived...you must grab the gorgeous Michael Kors Skorpis Shoulder Bag ($995). The effortlessly chic bag is the perfect way to add sophistication to your wardrobe. Plus, the neutral black color means you can wear it with absolutely anything in your closet. Perfection. Thanks again, Michael.

Ladies, make this purchase your new year's resolution. The end.

Bleu de Chanel = Feu de Chanel

Hi!

Hope everyone had a fashion-filled holiday! While I always love receiving beautiful gifts, I was specifically thrilled seeing the little Chanel bag under the tree with Bleu de Chanel inside. This scent is definitely on fire, and my must-have of the season. It definitely makes me smell like a "woody-aromatic" man. Beyond love it. (Although I still will be rocking my Fougere Royale from time to time). It's just nice graduating from my Aqua Di Gio, which I've passed along to my brother. Men. Go buy this scent now. Women. Go buy this for your man. The end.

Stay tuned for more of my favorite holiday moments:) xx

Happy Thanksgiving Fashion Lovers!! Xx

It's FURR-ZZINGGG

Hi!

How is everyone? Okay, it's obviously no secret that I am obsessed with fur! (I'm totally okay with faux fur so I don't need anyone coming at me with a bucket of red paint). This winter season, I better see each and every one of you with a fur accent. I know I will be rocking my fur hat when it becomes fur-zing in Manhattan.

Fortunately, if you do not own a fur or fur-accented item, Santa is coming soon. Make sure to add these items to your list (even if you've been naughty):

1. Mossimo's Fur Neckwrap (For the girl on a budget). $24.99.






2. French Connection's Faux Fur Vest. $368.00.







3. Chanel's Small Tote (DIE for all of Chanel's fur bags). Price Upon Request.




Message me for amazing fur options. (Just watch out for anyone in a bright orange jacket:) xx

Michael Kors - Please stop tempting me

Hi!

SO SORRY I haven't updated in a little while....Life has been insane!! Where has the time gone? How is it already the middle of November? Actually, I'm thrilled because that means the Christmas season is rapidly approaching. Thank god. Everyone knows there is nothing I like more than a fashionable Christmas, complete with...you guessed it...Michael Kors.

I mentioned my adoration for Michael Kors' advertisments once before during the fall campaign, but I think I'm even more obsessed with the winter campaign. I mean...are you joking with it? Turtlenecks. Check. Dog. Check. Snow. Check. Hot people. Check. It is pure magic, and I cannot wait to recreate these ads (probably by myself) in the coming weeks.

If you are ever looking for me, please search Central Park for the loser in a turtleneck with this ad in his hands -- asking to borrow someone's dog for a photo. EEEKSSS. Pathetic or Amazing? You decide. But at least it will make me cheery and bright! (For once:)

Stay tuned for my favorite winter picks!

I See Spots

Hi!

As I opened the Sunday Styles section today, I was pleased to find an entire page dedicated to stylish men and women (Yes, men too) wearing leopard-inspired pieces. While many know that leopard is one of the biggest fall trends this season, I simply want to reiterate that everyone must run to the nearest store and buy a leopard accessory...NOW.

Let's be honest, everyone form Kim Kardashian to Kate Hudson recently has animal fever -- and you need to as well.

Just make sure you don't wear an entire leopard ensemble. It's not quite Halloween yet. Try a leopard accent on a great pair of heels (women) or driving shoes (men). The pictured Giuseppe Zanotti pump ($650) would be an exquisite way to spice up a black o/Users/Bobby/Desktop/1053076_fpx.tif.jpegutfit. A leopard print bag, scarf, or headband also would be an excellent choice.

RAWARRRRRRRRR!!!!

Live Vicariously Through Michael Kors

Hi!

I love Michael Kors. I love fall. I love scarves. I love jackets. Given these glorious short sentences, please let me know if the following sentence makes me insane:

I have pictures of Michael Kors' Fall 2010 ad campaign saved in my phone to use as my fall inspiration.


Am I too much??

I honestly am obsessed with this campaign. I don't know if it's the good looking people, the fur, the jackets, the scarves, the color, the leaves, the lattes, etc....but I LOVE -- and am living vicariously through the campaign this fall. Yes, I do plan on having my roommates (You guys better be reading this) take photos of me in Central Park as I frolick through the leaves. No Joke. Stay tuned. The end.

- B.

P.S. I better see all of you taking hints from this campaign as well;)

D.I.E. for Peter Soronen

Hi!

I had the privilege of working at a fabulous shopping event recently, which featured some of the most brilliant designers in the world. One of my absolute favorite featured designers was Peter Soronen. GENIUS!

Many of you may remember Michelle Obama's State Dinner Dress (Soronen of course)-- The beautiful, shimmery gown was in my hands this week! It literally made me die. It was so fricken beautiful, one of my coworkers actually put it on. Check out the photo-major.

Sorry for the delay!!

HI!

OMG! Sooo sorry for not posting anything in a few days. (And yes, I know it's fashion week!) I've been crazzzeedddd (which can be seen by the time of this post:)

Talk to everyone soon. xx

It is the absolute best bag to start the fall season. Run over to Saks Fifth Avenue and buy the bag immediately! Retail $825.

I need this bag!

Hi

As I was strolling along Fifth Avenue today, I decided to take a quick courtesy sweep through Cole Haan. (One of my favorite designers for men's accessories) As always, I found a must have. I NEED the Reade Medium Tote as if my life depended on it. It is definitely a statement bag with its unexpected brown and black combination -- The perfect bag for work or play.

If anyone has an extra $398.00, please deliver it to me...NOW...Thanks! The end.

B Brian Atwood = B Bananas

Hi!

Get ready ladies, shoe designer to the stars, Brian Atwood, announced that he will be doing a more affordable line of shoes that will hit stores next fall.

Atwood followed many designers such as Zac Posen and Jil Sander by creating affordable lines for the masses. So exciting!! There is nothing better than stepping out in a fantastic pair of Atwoods -- The heads will definitely start turing as you strut down the street:)

This only inspires the Robert James line (and James by Robert James) even more:) Muwhahahhwhwah.

Emmy's Best and Worst Dressed List

Hi!

While I of course loved the opening Glee-inspired intro, as well as Modern Family's win, the best part about the Emmy's always will be the fashion. While there were many hits this year, there also were many misses that actually made me wish I had a blindfold (seriously).

Here is my list of the best and worst starlets:

Best Dressed

Lea Michelle. While navy was the color of the evening, the Glee songstress looked stunning in her floor-length Oscar de la Renta gown. While she didn't win an award, she definitely was a winner in my book. (She also made me even more excited for the next season of Glee!) P.S. Tina Fey also rocked it in her Oscar de la Renta gown.


Kim Kardashian. Kim is always naturally gorgeous, but the exotic beauty looked even more stunning than usual in her white Marchesa gown. I couldn't stop staring at the Grecian Goddess.

Claire Danes. I always die for sparkles, so Claire Danes' Armani Prive gown had to make my list. So simple, yet so over-the-top = pure genius.

Sofia Vergara. Sofia could basically wear anything and be drop-dead beautiful, but her Carolina Herrera gown made her truly look like the television star that she is. I also am obsessed with how she rolled the "r's" in the designer's name.

Jane Lynch. This Glee star (and winner!) looked so gorgeous and classic in her Ali Rahimi gown. I died.

Kyra Sedgwick. Sorry, I had to add one more- Way to go Kevin Bacon, your wife looked beyond elegant and chic in her Monique Lhuiller gown. Amazing.



Worst Dressed

Mindy Kaling. AHHHHHHH! What the hell is that, Mindy?! This The Office star needs to leave the 80s behind.

January Jones. While I appreciate the Mad Men star's bold fashion choice. I could not get passed the Madonna-inspired cone-shapped boobs. Her messy, "natural" looking hair also did not match the drama of the Atelier Versace gown.

Jewel. While the singer's performance was very moving, I wish she would've moved off the red carpet in her southern, lace, prom, 80's dress, thing. No thanks. Plus...the bow was crooked!!

Anna Paquin. While I adore and respect McQueen, Anna's gown just did not work for me. It didn't fit her right, and made her look too much like a warrior (and less like a vampire).

Lauren Graham. Lauren's black and white Yigal Azrouel gown literally looked like a bunch of rags thrown on a body. No thanks.


I hope everyone enjoyed the Emmy's as much as I did...I can't wait to commentary on the next award's show. Stay tuned!:)

"Zoe M G!"

Hi!

As many of you know, I'm obsessed with "The Rachel Zoe Project," and desperately love tuning in every Tuesday night to see what shenanigans are happening behind-the-scenes of the Zoe camp. While many may consider this show a guilty pleasure, I consider it a necessity in life.



There is absolutely nothing better than witnessing what new phrase will come out of Zoe's mouth, which fur will be wrapped around her body, and/or what meltdown will occur during fashion week...pure genius. Her husband, Rodg., and style director, Brad also are amazing with their one-liners and over-the-top personalities.

Believe me, I am thrilled that I have the first two seasons on DVD (No--I'm not ashamed), and can't wait until next Tuesday's episode. From now on, I will most definitely be recapping my favorite episode moments every Wednesday...So stay tuned:) It will be bananas.

"And I am Telling You"...Jennifer Hudson is not going

Hi everyone!

Jennifer Hudson truly is not going anywhere...thank god. I had the privelage of reading InStyle Makeover today, which featured the lovely J-Hud. The amazing nine page spread offered a truly inspiring look at J-Hud's new body, and new outlook on life. This is a definite must-read! (Pay special attention to the photo on page 82. I literally died upon seeing it:)

Michael Kors..."My New BFF" (Sorry, Paris Hilton)

Hi everyone!
I just finished reading the absolute best article about Michael Kors on NYMag.com. (http://nymag.com/fashion/10/fall/67504/index3.html). You must read it. NOW!



I've always had a deep respect for Kors' collections, but this article literally made me want to call Kors and immediately go to dinner with him (or a Broadway show because he apparently loves theatre...perfect:).

I also gained a new respect for Kors with his references to the Olsen twins, Manhattan, and his reaction to Ralph Lauren -- the article literally got better with every line. A definite must read.

Thank you, New York Magazine...for making Michael Kors my latest obsession.
