Alexander Wang Crepe Classic Slim Dress

I can never get enough of sexy back. Backless, low back, cut out back.. i love them all. This dress here by Alexander Wang took my breath away… it’s so subtly sexy. The front of this dress is a little disappointingly plain but just get in the door, turn around and TADOW how do ya like me now! I love the way the back drapes loosely, falling elegantly to create a sexy shadow down your back. Better work out those buns if you want to wear this LBD tho!

$595 @ Tobi.com

Derek Lam Romina Bag

Grey or not? I have no grey bags yet. It’s a little drab for me but the styling on this Derek Lam bag is tempting. The handle would make it easy to carry, not too sure if it would add a lot of weight w/o actually feeling the bag though. The tassel is cute. But really, where does Derek Lam get off charging $1700 for one of his bags??

@shopbop.com for $1690

Slot Chairs by Boettcher and Henssler

Form plus function is the only way to go. These “slot chairs” by Boettcher and Henssler are so neat/clean but also offer a useful twist by this little side table that slots into the chair. I like the muted colors too.. but I could see these being more popular in black and white or ivory hues. These would be great to pull out when entertaining a lot of guests in our tiny little home!

Bib Necklace Trend of 2009

I’m wondering if this is a result of me being pregnant and immersed in all things baby.. but I’m into the bib necklace trend these days. I know this is kinda played out by now but I never got around to getting one and now I’m feeling it so shoot me! I like the boldness of the line the bib necklace creates. I’m liking the bib over a casual white tee since the ornateness of most of these necklaces veers closely on the side of gaudy. I have yet to find the perfect one so I’m scouring the web.. surprisingly, sites like Shopbop and Revolve don’t have much options if any on this trend.

Here’s a few that I like so far in my search for the perfect bib necklace.

It’s crazy but my favorite at this point is one I found at BR! $69.00!!

I’ve been eyeing this one.. for several months and now it’s on sale! Ben Amun Bib Necklace @ IntermixOnline.com

This one from Kenneth Jay Lane on shopbop.com would look good with a simple black get up.

Anthropologie is hitting the trend hard and has a ton of bibs… (which means this is so mainstream but that’s cool with me.. luxeness for the masses!)

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.
