Magic Act: Camileon Heels~ Adjustable Height Shoes! Friday, Mar 20 2009

Yes….you read the title right. I don’t know where I have been… but today I discovered Camileon Heels. Had to tell you about them right away!

Camileon Heels are a genius idea of brother and sister team Dr. David and Donna “Lauren” Handel. They have a patent pending…positively perfect design of adjustable heeled shoes….that will take you from sexy to sensible in a flash! No more lugging an extra pair of shoes to work. Run for the bus with lightly padded foot pads and slip resistant toes……and get to work on time and in comfort. No more achy feet after an 8 hr. day. You will be able to heighten your look with a twist of your hand…..for cocktails at night. More styles can be found and purchased at camileonheels.com

Take a look at some of the clever creations. Pictured above is my favorite style…..the Mariella. $300

The Daphne is $260 and makes a statement in red. The statement is “I’m a smart cookie and I am not afraid to be comfortable and look stylish at the same time!”

The Camelia is a sleek and chic Mary Jane. Love the pointy toe. This style will always be a classic! $325

Here’s how it works: Straight from the Camileon website Camileonheels.com

Adjusting CAMiLEON Heels from high-to-low heel positions is accomplished in three easy steps:

Step 1
Secure one hand around the top of the heel, while the other hand pulls straight down on the lower half of the heel to disengage it from its upright locked position.
Step 2
Push forward on the lower portion of the heel until it stops moving and is stowed directly under the arch region of the shoe.
Step 3
Push straight backward on the tip of the stowed heel until it is recessed slightly into the upper heel cavity and secured in its locked position.
Done!
Once the adjustment has been made from a high-to-low heel position, the upper edge of the stowed heel should no longer be visible. To restore the heel back into its full high heel position, simply reverse the previous steps.

Finding a handbag that is stylish and less than $100 is a challenge today. Handbags have rocketed sky high in price! I put myself to the challenge and shopped ’till I dropped.

This bag will give you the size you need……a pop of color……and add texture to your outfit! Greatly reduced to $90 from $250. LaurenMerkin.com

A great way to save money on a handbag is to purchase a faux patent leather bag. Most of the time……patent looks patent….whether it is real leather or faux. The whole idea behind patent leather is to get the shine! This Big Buddha Union Bag fits the bill…..it’s shiny….Big……and has a great look. The bag can be worn as a shoulder bag or a tote. It is convertible and expands! Love the embossed alligator look to this bag. Available in Gray or Black.

Raise The Bar bar but lower your budget with Kenneth Cole’s Raise The Bar Patent Clutch. The poppy red color will pop up any outfit with a bright punch of color. A metal embellishment on the flap nods to the season’s metallic rage. This deal is for real…and so is the patent leather. Originally $198 and now on special sale for $48.97. KennethCole.com

The Color Purple: Fall 2008’s Hottest Fashion Color! Monday, Sep 15 2008

Editors are passionate about the color purple this season! Everything imaginable has been designed in this royal color. Not my personal favorite color, but I like to stay on trend, and will most likely look for an accessory or two in this season’s shade. Here’s a collection of some of the best fashion and accessories in purple today.

Kara Ross’s Python Cuff is a stunning statement in purple. Love the contrast of the soft and plush leather with the gleaming hard edges of rhodium. Amethyst stones sparkle on each side of the silver hinge. This bracelet is a great way to rock the royal color…...purple! $467 at Vivre.com

Sequins can be tricky and sometimes tacky. No one does the shiny pallets better than Donna Karan! Here she has taken the classic tank, made it out of silk and cashmere, then embellished it with tones of purple light-reflecting sequins. I own one of her sequin sweaters and it is heaven! Tissue thin and beautifully done. The tank is $695 at Nordstrom.com

Purple Patent! Rebecca Minkoff’s Cheri Tote certainly would add just the right pop of color to a Fall or Winter coat. Big enough for a laptop, but not overly large, the Cheri tote can get you to work and back with style! $605 at RebeccaMinkoff.com

I am not a big print person but prints are huge this season…despite what I think. Blumarine’s Animal Print Silk Chiffon Tunic is an exceptional print, in my view. The combination of stunning shades of lavender and grey create an unique animal print. The neckline is great with the metallic tie, and the cut out detail on the shoulder adds interest, while breaking up the pattern. The silk chiffon adds the feminine touch that makes this blouse so beautiful. $820 at Nordstrom.com

Carolina Herrera’s Lame Degrade Dress is lovely in a creative combination of silver lame and a dark purple. The sweetheart neckline is very flattering to most. I just think this dress is very beautiful for so many events. $ 2990.00 at NeimanMarcus.com

I have always loved fringe….on anything! It is big this season. Leigh and Luca’s feather Scarf in Purple has many good things going for it…..the color purple, the feather motif, the fringe, and the luxe fabrication of silk and cotton. A wonderful accessory! $165 at Intermixonline.com

This dress has had a celebrity cult following! Black Halo’s Purple Keyhole Ruffle Sleeve Sheath is both body conscious and glamorous! Details abound and all done with the sophistication of the color purple. $345 at chickdowntown.com

Straight off the runway! Anna Sui’s Silk Printed Mini Dress is a beautiful example of the winter floral and neo-folk looks that has risen to the top this season. I especially love the metallic accents at the waist. If you want it……get it fast…sizes are selling out! $570 at net-a-porter.com.

I say…..if you are going to be comfy in flats…..at least look fanciful! Miu Miu’s Jeweled Ballerinas are both fun and fancy with the be-jeweled toe. $659 at Saks.com

This is the year of the tight! Cold weather is coming and you will be warm and cozy in Prada’s Lana Coste Tights. They are made of soft rib wool and the color violet is yummy! They are $155 so I hope they are run proof! Saks.com

Sometimes just a touch of color can do so much for you outfit. When that touch happens to be jewels…..things really start to pop! Devi Kroell’s Wood Box Clutch With Crystal detail is over the top gorgeous and expensive! Think of it this way…..if you carry this statement piece you won’t need to buy another accessory! $1692.43 at BrownsFashion.com

Selected for their style and price point, BCBGGirl’s Wish 2 dress peep toe pump gives one a big pop of color for the small price tag of $110! The color purple and patent leather gives this shoe instant style for Fall! Piperlime.com

You may wish to invest in an elegant pair of purple gloves this season. Ralph Lauren’s Long Suede glove can be the perfect accessory to your Fall ensemble or coat. They are perfectly plain in purple. $425 at RalphLauren.com Purchase by 10/06/08 and save 30% Off with Coupon Code: RLFA2008.

Oh Jimmy! Love the Kase Oval Clutch. It is the perfect way to wear the color purple. This little Jimmy Choo piece is all of the jewelry you need. The purple amethyst stone is repeated on both sides of the bag. This bag will elevate any outfit to luxe instantly! $1495 at net-a-porter.com

Ooo La La! This Elizabeth Gillett has two top trends going for it…….lace and the color purple! It is simply gorgeous and very fanciful. Silk and $139 at WinkNyc.com

Save an additional 25% on this scarf and anything at WinkNyc.com with Coupon Code: luckybreaks13 Valid until December 4 2008

I have always admired Furla’s understated style. The Aphrodite Medium Shopper looks so luxe….you cna almost feel the softness of the leather! It is now on sale at Saks.com for $555. Originally $795.00

Roberto Cavalli’s Jewel Bow Platforms are statement shoes with plenty of glam and glitz.  The amethyst satin shoe is adorned with jewels, diagonal straps, and a golden sole. So opulent! $1,025 at net-a-porter.com

Come back soon for more of the color Purple!

For The Silver Spoon Pooch~ Thursday, Sep 11 2008

So my beloved Yorkie had 15 coats, 6 Tee Shirts, and 4 beautiful beds. But Arca’s Horn and Sterling Silver Dog Bowl makes my privileged pup look like a pauper ! This bowl set is certainly the height of luxury! With the cost of today’s high end kitchen makeovers, perhaps it is worth the hefty price of $585. I wonder if it will make the kibbles and bits taste better? Available at ElementsChicago.com

During these tough economical times, balancing the budget can be a bit more difficult. It might come down to…….Food or Fashion! Just because you have lost your job or things cost more, (And they do….

One of the Fall fashion trends I keep seeing is curves. They have brought back the peplum waist and are showing lots of soft architecture and draping in skirts jackets and dresses. Style.com calls the look Belle Curves. The above Bcbg dress is as curvaceous as they come. The dress is sexy and sophisticated and above all……feminine. it is a blend of nylon acetate and spandex so it will hold you in while the ruching will camouflage figure flaws while accenting the positive.

Ken Downing of Neiman Marcus was practically giddy when talking about fun colored tights worn with colored shoes for Fall.

Rah! Rah! Rana Pouch by Marc Jacobs~ Saturday, Jul 12 2008

I love a good evening bag. You don’t use them often, or maybe you do. It is so much fun, when the occasion merits a special bag, going into your closet and unwrap one of your lovelies! Marc Jacobs’ Rana Pouch may just have to find a home on my shelf. I must admit, I had to look up the word Rana, to find its meaning. Of course, it means “a genus of frogs.” But of course….look at the bag. In Arabic it also means “Pretty Little Girls With Beautiful Eyes.” Leave it to Marc. Love the fluorescent colors, and of course black is always a staple. The looped wrst handle allows you a free hand to dance, hold a cocktail, or shake a hand. Fun! $795 at Eluxury.com
