Luxe for Less Handbag: Matt & Nat Camden Hobo

Talk about good timing! This bag was made for the times. At $256 this is a true recessionista’s IT Bag. Enough said right? Wait there’s more.. this line of bags from Matt & Nat is cruelty free too. Is there a halo that comes packaged with it too? I like both colors — Silver and Black. I could get two for the price of one normal bag. Does that count as being smart with my money?

Tory Burch Weekender

My husband and I are taking a little weekend getaway trip (40 miles up the road) to San Francisco. That’s what our exciting suburbanite lives have amounted to. We can’t seem to hang for dinner and drinks in the city, it’s just too long a drive and a few too many drinks and we’re close too close to snoozing on the drive down. So, we’re packing our bags and heading to the SF Intercontinental for an exciting Valentines weekend! Good excuse right? :)

Now the more important issue.. what to wear? what to pack? what to pack it in??

I first saw one of these weekender bags from Tory Burch about a year back. I thought it was smart of her to get into the luggage space.. but now I realize she’s just greedy and into everything and anything. But I’m still cool with her stuff since it’s relatively reasonably priced for the quality.

Which of these do you like? or not?

Lamborghini Heels

Hot or not? I felt the urge to drool and laugh at the same time when I saw these. Something tells me I’d walk very fast, but very painfully in these.

Dub Daily writes…

“These are renderings of a Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera high heel shoe created by CGSociety member Tim Cooper. He created them by combining a pair of his wife’s high heel shoes and lots of internet images of the Gallardo. He modeled and created the renderings in Modo adding smoke and text in Photoshop for this sample advertisement.”

I think I could rock these! (5 years ago..)

Alice + Olivia Pleated belted dress

Coral is such a refreshing color. It makes me thirsty just looking at it! I’m excited coral is going to be a big color this coming spring. This belted dress (belted btw has also been a big bit with me this past year) from Alice + Olivia is a must have for the coming warmer months ahead. I’d pair this with some python, gold or nude slingbacks and a slim clutch, or smaller chained shoulder bag.

Available @ Net-a-Porter.com for $375.

Who's the Luxe Mix?

I wouldn't qualify myself as anything official when it comes to fashion but I might officially qualify as a shopaholic. To keep from going broke I have learned to mix the luxe with the less, the cheap with the chic. I'm a technology junkie in addition to being hopelessly fashion obsessed so while I am a corporate UX designer by day, by night I am an obsessively compulsively working up visions of a splendid online fashion retail nirvana. Contact me if you want my input on how to transform your fashion house into a mass-tech-revolutionized business.
