Spring 2009 Ready-To-Wear Louis Vuitton collection

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 13:17:40 +0000

Today I have got for you the exceptional, extraordinary and outstanding Spring 2009 Ready-to-wear Louis Vuitton collection. The spring 2009 would be full of solid colors. Colors like black, orange, blue, yellow and auburn were the colors that were highlighted in the Louis Vuitton collection.

Here is the first model in black and ruby colored dress. The small design printed claret skirt with the black deep V-neck blazer looks trendy and stylish. The chunky jewelries and the criss cross studded sandals add glamour. The leopard print bag with the coal eyes and ruby lips and the high hair do look hip and modish.

Here is another model in the same type of short skirt but in orange color with a golden waistline. The inner top is of a see through fabric framed by a full sleeved blue lined blazer.

Here’s a classy combination of auburn and cerulean blue colored mini dress. The dress is again paired with some elegant stocky accessories and stylish tie-up sandals.

A model walking with a brunette colored shorts with matching vest type full sleeved blazer. The chunky beaded necklace is a beauty here.

Here is a polka dotted parallel paired with a metal and black colored coat framing a transparent inner. The copper colored saggy hand bag is a stylish one.

A jazzy leather brunette and black lined overcoat with broad neck and layered collars would give a cool and stylish look.

And last is again a polka dotted parallel trouser paired with a strapless top and a leopard print bag.

J Lo bow front platform heeled sandals

For some reason, J.Lo's shoe line doesn't seem to get as much attention as other celebrity

Givenchy lace-front flat sandals

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 07:15:00 +0000

My feet are currently feeling pretty toasty, wrapped up snug in my super thick and fluffy (and not to mention, completely ugly) winter socks and boots, so the thought of these lace sandals in the middle of a big freeze isn't exactly appealing.

The Perfect Antidote to the Economic Blues? The Perfect Pair of Red Shoes

Sun, 30 Nov 2008 21:00:00 +0000

Images courtesy of Net-A-Porter.

I've been searching for the perfect pair of red stilettos for a very, very, long time. I had the perfect pair of red sandals and the perfect pair of red ballet flats but the perfect pair of red stilettos had (until now) stubbornly eluded me. Stilettos make a powerful statement thanks to their shape - all sharp edges and sexiness. The color red makes an equally strong statement - loud, brash and sexy. When combined together, there is something about the color and the shape that I find can be somewhat overpowering. In other words, I was looking for a shoe that said 'stylishly sexy' rather than 'sartorially slutty'. I wasn't absolutely certain what the perfect pair of red stilettos would look like but I was confident I would know them when I saw them. Brian Atwood must have heard my silent prayers because he designed the perfect pair (to my mind). I found them on Net-A-Porter (of course). The heel is perfect, the height is perfect, the shape is perfect, the color is perfect. P-E-R-F-E-C-T!

The irrefutable sign that you've found the perfect pair of shoes? They magically breath new life into any number of garments that have been hanging more-or-less unloved in you closet. They look as fantastic with a pair of skinny jeans and fitted navy blue blazer as they do with a black pencil skirt and ruffled silk blouse. I've paired them with a pony skin zebra-print handbag to great effect but they look equally great with my minimalist patent leather Pierry Hardy clutch. Most importantly of all, every time I glance down at my feet or catch my reflection somewhere, they make me feel inexplicably happy. H-A-P-P-Y! I love, love, love them. Now, if I could only find the perfect shade of matte red lipstick (...).

Sincerely,

The Luxe Chronicles

One of my favorite shoe trends for fall was the studded shoe. More specifically, I coveted Gucci’s Babouska shoe line. And now, Gucci, bless their hearts, is in the spirit of giving us their first markdown of the fall 2008 collection. The Babouska is now 40% off, which is still rather pricey but perhaps there will be further reductions by Christmas if I focus on being nice and not naughty.

Reese Witherspoon in Chic Clothes

Fri, 28 Nov 2008 10:25:00 +0000

The Four Christmases Star Reese Witherspoon was spotted at the late night with David Letterman studio. She tried to keep herself warm by covering herself with a designer blazer framing a black knee length evening wear. The broad necked sheath showcasing the Fred Leighton gems with a metal chain made Reese look elegant. Her blonde bob locks of hair neatly combed and parted on one side makes her look innocent.

The 36 year old Oscar winning actress with minimum make-up of lipstick looked charming and cool. The layered overcoat with many collars made her feel tepid and warm as well as stylish and trendy. The lace sling-backs complemented the beauty as well as the dress perfectly.

The red nail paint popping out of the front chopped sandals harmonized perfectly with the red lips. Well I think she looks stunning with the trendy overcoat she’s wearing. What do you think?
