Polyvore Time!

I been playing with Polyvore again.. it helps me assess whether I’ll be able to put enough looks together of new pieces I’m thinking of buying.

Here’s the latest:

a maternity outfit…

orange and stripes

..considering this Versace bag that’s on sale at eluxury..

i’ve had my eye on this dress for some time now..

Balmain Crystal Embellished Studded Sandals, As Seen on The Hills, Audrina Patridge, Rhianna…

Clearly the recession is over because $2300.00 for a pair of shoes didn’t break a sweat for all the girls who went out and bought these Balmain Sandals. They are sold out everywhere and haven’t been out for that long. I’m sure it doesn’t hurt that all the celebs are wearing them everywhere you look. I’m a little surprised people have taken such a liking to them though since they are way blinged out. I guess that’s what we’ve been building up to.. everyone is used to a little bling, now we are ready for the BIG BLING. I love them so much though and hope they do another run.. just one more guys.

Looks like they were originally being sold for $1600.00 but the only place that has them left (not to mention only size 38) is Net-a-Porter and they’ve jacked them up to $2300!!


The Fashionable Housewife found some great luxe-for-less options for these Balmains… must see.

The Y-3 Spant: It’s Leggings.. no it’s a skort.. or maybe it’s…

just confused! This piece from Y-3 is an interesting number, what do you think? I appreciate the creative deviation from the same ole same ole. I’d consider getting a pair if I knew I could actually wear it out somewhere in the next year but considering I’ll be on new-born mommy duty for the next 6-8 months I’ll let someone else who’ll actually look good in it have it for now! Clearly, the avant garde-ness of this piece isn’t selling it off the block because it’s on 30% sale at www.oaknyc.com. I’ll admit it does look like something I could make myself with a little creative draping. At the original $394.. I’d defn. have to think twice about these spants.

Shopbop Look of the Week

If you don’t regularly cruise ShopBop’s Lookbook.. I’d say you’re missing out on a lot!

My favorite look of the moment… it doesn’t hurt that the model is smoky hot! I’d want her if I were a dude.

Featured Luxe for Less Site: www.Buckle.com

A cross between Abercrombie & Fitch and Forever 21, www.Buckle.com, is worth a look or two. I haven’t ordered anything from here yet but am about to order the python flats below. $26!! I like how the site allows you to filter down the selections you’re browsing through by price, color, size, etc. Thank you Buckle.com for putting some thought into your website design!!

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.
