New Year’s Fashion – Queen of The Night

December 29th // Comment Here

Why not channel your inner royalty this New Year’s? My suggestion– wear a regal blue and gold print. Not only will you make a showstopping entrance; you’ll also rule the party with your sassy fashion sense, wit, and charm. They’ll never know you scored such a “Hot Deal” on such a rich look.

Save big (and look like you didn’t) by shopping coldwatercreek.com. Right now, they’re offering 50% off their entire website. Just use the coupon code WXH6440 at checkout. I found this unique blue-violet and gold printed wrap dress for only $75!

While you’re at it; give your tootsies the royal treatment too. These luxurious silk shantung peep-toe slings are also available at Coldwater Creek for half-price–a mere $35.

If Santa was good to you this year, you must have earned the right to splurge ;)
Head on over to couturecandy.com and check out this gorgeous gold jaquard paperbag waist skirt.

Gold Jaquard Paperbag Waist Skirt $176 at CoutureCandy.com

The fabric is too beautiful to pass up, and the design is perfect for a fitted top (I’m thinking a dramatic neckline, like the cotton ruffle shirt by J.Crew pictured below.) Use coupon code 25DAY at checkout to snag the skirt for around $176.

Ruffle shirt $89.50 at J.Crew.com

What surprises will 2009 hold for you? If your resolution is to step up your style, now is your chance to make a fresh start. Own the night like you’ve always wanted, and–who knows–with your new fashion outlook, may come a new lease on life. Dress for success in 2009!

Much love,
Loren

Ring in The New Year– In Style!

December 29th // 1 Comment

Wow! 2008 is almost over, and 2009 is just a few days away! With all the hustle and bustle of this holiday season, I haven’t even taken the time to plan my New Year’s Eve look. Hmm…what to wear? I want to sparkle and shine (Hey, it’s New Years; what better time?!) Should I go all out? Totally sequined? Or rock out in a fierce pair of heels, statement earrings, and a shiny clutch? Decisions, Decisions…

Herve Leger dresses

Herve Leger sequin banded dress $2800 at Net-A-Porter

I’m in love with the “it” party dresses of the season– Herve Leger’s sparkly, body-hugging creations. The sequined bandage dress (featured above) does incredible things for the female form–tucking, streamlining and lifting in all the right places ;) The beautiful thing about the dress is that accessories are no longer needed as it pretty much does the job alone; but for a frugal girl who loves her accessories, there are other options. The luxury of Herve Leger after all, does come with a hefty price tag!

Check out a similar look (for a lot less) here.


The dress pictured above is a similar sillhouette to the Herve Leger, in this season’s hottest hue. Get it for $98 at Cache.com. Shop HSN.com for the earrings ($39), Amrita Singh for the cocktail ring ($50), and topshop.com for the sequined clutch.

The crystal-encrusted shoes featured above are part of Bebe’s Holiday 2008 collection. They’re sold-out on Bebe’s website, but if you hurry; you can still snag them without leaving the comfort of your couch. They’re available on eBay for around $169 to help you ring in the new year in style, search keyword “bebe purple studded strappy crystal sandal shoe” on eBay.

Here’s to getting a head start on a fabulous new year!

Love,
Loren
