Starburst Clutch

A little Leiber to cheer you up on this drizzly day...and with the 

original box. For a fashionable read pick up Mrs. Leiber's new book 

"No Mere Bagatelles." Enjoy!

A Touch of Gold

plus a little Parisian chic (YSL Y-Mail patent clutch, $245) equals just the right amount of glitz. The metallic trend will not disappear this holiday season, not if I can help it! From a delicate chain across your ankle (Balenciaga stilettos, $94) or baubles around your neck (necklace, $12) to shimmering thread at night (Express evening bag, $16), you'll always look glamourous in gold.

Chanel handbag explosion

Think plum and peacock blue, caviar leather, camellias, snakeskin, and
silver chains! They've really just arrived...out on the floor soon!

Champagne. Champagne

I only drink champagne! (A festive display at Marcoz Antiques, our Newbury Street neighbor)

Fall Classics

Metallic tweed jacket (Marc Jacobs)
Suede rosette pump (Valentino)
Woven leather bag (Bottega Veneta)
Lace flats (Valentino)

***Just realized the last three posts have been devoted to black
handbags...oops!

Vintage Viva

If you are not so keen on shelling out for the Givenchy we posted
earlier, how about this one...$24

Givenchy Nightingale

It's Clutch: Jimmy Choo

An oversize clutch can really make the outfit, carrying one just makes
you walk a certain way...and helps you look as elegant and put
together as Olivia P (my current style icon).

More Rick!

A week without Rick Owens?

No way! Come try on one of these cozy jackets from the lux Lilies
collection...snug basics sure to keep you happy over the next few
months. I don't think I'm the only one who thought of snow today ;)

Cheap & Chic

A completely chic outfit for less than $150...AMAZING (that's just what the shoes cost brand new, and they are brand new!)

Tracet Vest feather headband, $5

Theory jacket, $25

Cashmere tank, $19

Milly floral skirt, $49

Banana Republic tweed clutch, $17

Topshop lace up heels, $30

Vintage Soirée

There is nothing like a vintage shopping party to get you in the mood for the holidays. It's never too soon to secure a New Year's Eve dress! The lovely ladies from Artifaktori presented a mesmerizing assortment of options, which looked dazzling in Upstairs on The Square's "Jewel Box" room, an oasis of elegance featuring mirrored ceilings, a plush lavender banquette, and divine leopard carpet. Punky Style captured the mood perfectly with her GLAMOUROUS photographs and I of course snatched up a black and gold sequin sheath that I can't WAIT to wear. The company was delightful and to top it off, we enjoyed tunes from The Sweet and Low Down along with some swing dancing and a couple of champagne cocktails.

At the end of the evening, while helping the girls pack up the glittering finery, we couldn't help but imagine being locked inside the Jewel Box, only to play dress up and sip champagne all night long, that really wouldn't be so bad would it?!
