Obsession of the Week: Ugg Australia & Jimmy Choo Collection

Ugg Australia & Jimmy Choo Limited Edition Collection

A lot of buzz has been going around since the announcement of this somewhat unlikely collaboration between Jimmy Choo and Ugg Australia.  Pre-orders have already been placed and today is the day this collection is released to the stores!

I have to admit that it did take me a long time to develop a liking toward the famous Ugg boot.  The shapeless design and lack of anything "special" turned me away from Uggs at first.  However, then I actually decided to just try a pair on.  It was like stepping into a warm, comfy cloud...I fell in love!  After many cold winters in New York, I have to say I would be lost without my beloved pairs of Ugg boots. 

Being the shoe obsessed woman that I am, I could not wait to see how the fabulous Jimmy Choo would transform my beloved Uggs.  Jimmy Choo and Ugg Australia could not be anymore opposite when it comes to footwear, but together they made it work fabulously!  The shape of the boots are still true Ugg Australia designs, however Jimmy Choo adds his edgy and sexy touch to each boot in this collaboration.  The studded embellishments, fringe, and animal prints are anything but boring and are perfect for the winter season.

I am patiently waiting to get to Saks and pick out my pair!  Now the only problem is...how do I pick just one pair?! 

I'm Obsessed ;)

Turn Heads in Some Sexy Lace!

Lace is sexy, flirty & super feminine.  It is the perfect embellishment because all it takes is a hint of lace to turn an outfit from cute to sexy!  Nothing makes you feel more like a woman than a little bit of black lace.  Lace incorporated into any look is all it takes to give you that extra little bit of self confidence!  I am a big fan of lingerie inspired day wear.  Lace is a staple in most lingerie, so why not take its sexiness into the daytime.

Here are some of my favorite lace pieces this season...

BeBe Lace Dress

This dress is absolutely my favorite!  How can you not be the center of attention in this sexy lace overlay dress?!  This dress exudes sexy femininity while hugging all of your curves.  The nude and black color contrast is perfect.  It gives this dress such an intimate and glamorous feel.  Slip this dress on with a sky high pair of stilettos and you are ready to take on the night.  This dress is everything you would expect from BeBe, and that is why they are my go-to store for pretty much every occasion!

House of Harlow 1960 "Leslie" Booties

I love booties for the fall!  They are so fun and easy to transition from day wear into night wear.  These House of Harlow 1960 Booties are just so perfect for this fall seasons wardrobe.  They are amazing paired with jeans and even better with some leggings.  The black on black overlay gives such an elegant texture to these booties.  

Barlow Lace Stretch Dress

There is nothing I love more for the fall and winter than a nice mini-dress with long sleeves!  This Barlow dress is perfect for more formal occasions.  I love the see-through neckline and sleeves, these add the perfect amount of sexiness!  Pair this dress with a leopard platform pump and turn heads wherever you go!

Betsey Johnson "Kelly" Shopper

Who doesn't love the adorable Betsey Johnson?  I know I adore all of her work, especially her always fun accessories.  This bag is so perfect!  It is large enough to carry all of your lady essentials which is a major selling point for me.  The sequin covered lace design is amazing!  Always fun and always stylish!

Alice + Olivia Lace Leggings

I love leggings and these are so necessary this season!  The see-through lace running down the outside of the legs is fun and sexy.  These leggings are so flirty and easily transitional.  With a solid tunic and some fun booties, you just can't go wrong!

Obsession of the Week: Tory Burch Limited Edition Logo Rain Boot

Tory Burch Limited Edition Logo Rain Boot

Tory Burch is all about taking simple classics and mixing them with loud, fun prints & colors.  This is exactly why I am such a fan of everything Tory Burch.  Tory Burch takes a simple shoe, for instance, and makes it so much fun.  This is why I chose this rain boot as my obsession of the week.  The best part is that fifteen percent of each purchase is being donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.  The timing could not be any better either.  With all of the rain us New Yorkers have been experiencing lately, this rain boot is a must!  Make a bold, feminine statement while supporting Breast Cancer!  It is time to give our long loved Burberry rain boots a little break and time to dance in the rain wearing these adorable hot pink & navy Tory Burch rain boots!

Cuddle Up With Some Fun Fur This Season!

I love fun furs for this season!  There are so many fun ways to wear and accessorize with fur and even only a hint of fur goes a long way.  The use of fur has always been such a huge debate in the fashion industry and today there are so many amazing faux fur pieces available.  I have shopped around and here are some of my favorite faux fur pieces for this season...

Alice + Olivia "Masha" Metallic Jacket

Alice + Olivia makes such great contemporary pieces.  I love that this jacket features metallic faux fur.  I think this jacket is perfect over a mini-dress for a night out.  The shawl like collar is big and fun with a hook and eye clasp to leave it open and flowing in the front.

Vena Cava for Aqua Vest

Vena Cava and Aqua are two of my personal favorites and together they just make amazing clothing.  I love the coloring of this vest and especially the black bow closure in the front.  This vest is great with a long sleeve top over leggings.  Add a sexy over the knee boot and you are more than ready to go!

Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent

This is definitely going to be one of my splurges for this fall.  I love the hint of military inspiration and even more so, the big and structured shoulders.  We have been watching shoulder pads grow bigger and bigger the last few months and I have been absolutely loving it.  This faux fur jacket creates such a fabulous upper body silhouette and is a great transitional piece for day to night wear. 

Gallery Leopard Faux Fur Jacket

I have been searching for a faux fur leopard jacket for quite awhile now.  In my opinion, it is hard to find one that is cute but not super tacky.  I think this Gallery jacket is perfect.  The leopard print is not too exaggerated and the slightly cinched waist insures you that your figure will not get lost somewhere underneath it.  

Nine West "Priska" Boots

I love these Nine West "Priska" boots.  The faux fur is not overdone and the color is so perfect for the fall.  I think these are amazing over some leggings or tights with a cute pair of shorts.

Hope you found something to add to your wardrobe this season!

Save the Ta-Tas!

October is National Breast Cancer Month.  Although I have been lucky enough to have never had anyone in my family directly effected by breast cancer, I hold it very close to my heart.  I know people who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and people who have overcome breast cancer and there is nothing more empowering than hearing their stories.  I feel as a woman it is so important to be aware of your body and to be there to support all the fellow ladies of the world.  I enjoy being a big supporter, mainly of the Susan G. Komen Foundation & the American Cancer Society "Making Strides".  I try to participate in the Jones Beach walk on Long Island every year and have for many years now.  I always leave feeling empowered.  I'm sure it is all from the great energy of being surrounded by strong survivors and strong women.  I love being a woman & I know that one day no woman will have to worry about struggling with breast cancer. 


In honor of all the fabulous women in our world & Breast Cancer Awareness Month, here are some fabulous pink fashion finds...

David Yurman Sterling Silver Braided Breast Cancer Bracelet

David Yurman is one of my favorite jewelry designers & I will definitely be adding this limited edition Breast Cancer bracelet to my collection.  The sterling silver clasp against the pink rubber braiding is so feminine and strong...two things every woman should be!  I absolutely love this!



Lilly Pulitzer Limited Edition "Murfee" Scarf



Scarves are hands down one of my favorite accessories for the fall and winter.  I am usually rarely seen without one.  This scarf is so stunning.  I love the contrasting colors and the hidden breast cancer ribbons throughout the pattern.  This cashmere/silk scarf is easy to incorporate into so many different looks, whether it is casual or dressy wear.  It is also comforting to know that a portion of each sale of this scarf goes to benefit the American Cancer Society.

Sonia Kashuk for Target

One thing about me is that I definitely love my makeup and beauty products.  They are just so much fun and there is nothing better than experimenting with new makeup looks.  The secret behind a great face of makeup is using a great brush set.  This Pink brush set by Sonia Kashuk for Target is perfect for every Woman.  Pick this brush set up and help fight breast cancer while looking beautiful!

White + Warren Breast Cancer Awareness Slippers

I love these White + Warren Pink Leopard slippers.  Half of the proceeds are donated to "Women at Risk".  These are perfect for travel and for those cold winter nights to come.  Why not stay warm, comfortable & super stylish all for a fabulous cause.  Totally a necessity for this cold winter!

I love each of these products especially because they are all for such a great cause!
