Gucci's Resort collection has just hit Bergdorf's and two questions leap to mind immediately:
Who the heck is taking a cruise right now in this economy?
and
How soon can I get my hands on this yummy pile of suede-studded goodness?
A bag covered in designer logos is so out of character for me but I love the haute bohemian vibe of this tote - and apparently most folks agree because it's on backorder.
You don't have to look too hard to find cute vintage dresses on eBay - but finding one that is so perfectly styled is harder to find than the elusive YSL PUR black gloss that I've been trying to get my paws on.
There's something very Rachel Bilson about this ensemble: from the little cap, to the peacock belt, and socks & boots combo - I want it all right now.
By the looks of all the feathers flying around handbags, headbands, purses, and even clothing we’re collectively ready to nest for the season. The trend adds a touch of whimsy to your ensemble that is a bit more ladylike than your run-of-the-mill embellishment. It’s a little opulent, a little eccentric, and a whole lot unique. Keep it refined by leaving the hot pink boas to Angelyne and you’ll do fine.
Though fancy feathers have been around for several months, they don’t show any signs of migrating South for the Winter. When stars like Sarah Jessica Parker & Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen sport the look you know there will be tons of inexpensive options to look for in stores.
Want to make the trend truly yours? Consider a trip to the craft store for trimmings and let your imagination run wild. If you’re afraid to commit to embellishing a pricey item in your wardrobe, pick up an inexpensive diamond-in-the-rough at your local thrift and have fun with it. Consider hot-gluing peacock plumes to old pumps to jazz up your party dress or maybe just a simple headband made of pheasant-backed ribbon.
Of course there’s always the ultimate in low maintenance DIY for the laziest among us – tuck a feather in the brim of your fedora for a pop of color and an instant update.
Yeah, I did just quote a fictionalized cable tv character -- but look at these babies.
*Sigh*
Available at Neiman Marcus: the Alberto Fermani knee high boot. You'd think the designer would come up with a far lovelier name for such buckled up perfection. I'll overlook it this time.
If you buy them now, Neiman's will even throw in a set of designer illustrated notecards.
New markdowns have been taken at Banana Republic today but you, my stylish readers, are far too savvy to jump on that bandwagon just yet.
Why slow your roll?
A while back I told you about this swell shopping site Ebates which allows you to earn rebates on your purchases through their site. I've been a member for over a year and it has paid off in more ways than one. (read: great deals and money deposited directly into my checking account)
Well, the good folks over at Ebates know a thing or two about the art of the deal. Once a week they feature a different retailer as a "Daily Double" meaning, you shop on that day and receive a rebate for twice the usual amount. Today is Banana Republic's turn. Earn an additional 6% off their already marked down prices of 15% off.
Here's what you need to know: in order to get the rebate you must go to Ebates first and register. Once you do click on the link to Banana Republic and you're on your way to your 6% rebate.
To score BR's promotion you should enter code: FALLSALE upon checkout. But hurry, that sale's over on 10/1 and remember the daily double is today only.
I may have to splurge on this flirty little number myself:
Sure, celebrity-designed clothing lines are getting more common. It's no surprise when you consider that just 20 years ago you could buy a copy of Vogue or Bazaar and see an honest-to-goodness runway model in all of her glossy glory on the cover, not some pop tart pushing her latest offering. Who woulda thunk that those stylish glamazons of yore would be nearly extinct today?
Well, step back LiLo, Heidiwood is just one exit away from Style Oblivion, and celebrity? Golly, I want no part of it.
Except, of course, for Rachel Bilson's collaboration with DKNY.
Naturally the très chic yellow studded dress that I coveted is SOLD OUT, but the rest of the collection isn't so bad. Take a peek!

When my last order snafu with J. Crew happened this summer I vowed to never shop with them online ever again.
