Fab Find of the Day

Python Pencil Skirt $36.95

-

Very often, I find myself leaving the suited up, corporate environment that is my job and heading straight to the trendiest fashion and industry events in NYC. That being said, I tend to get super creative with my wardrobe and use pieces that can take me from straight-laced to sexy with ease. New York & Company's Stretch Pencil Skirt in python print is one of those finds that can easily take me from day to night, and fits comfortably within my budget to boot!

On a lazy weekend, I might pair it with a white tank, oversized grey cardigan, cinch my waist with a black belt and finish the look with black cut-out booties. For a summer work day, I might wear it with a white ruffled blouse under a white blazer and strappy silver heels.

Even Vogue has taken notice of the awesome-ness of this skirt! Check out page 489 of the April issue (with Michelle Obama on the cover), where it is featured in the 100+ under 100 section. Although it's not yet available in stores, you can grab yours online right now!

I am what one would call a magazine addict. Yup, Cosmo, Nylon, Interview, I-D, Flaunt, In Touch, Life&Style, and on and on and on! I have to read every page front to back and NO ONE is allowed to read my magazine before me, either. Right...I'm that bad.

I have to read up on new movies, celebrity couples, featured interviews, and of course, FASHION! I love to look at all the cool new trends and all the fashion don'ts in order to figure out which pieces I can DO!


Of course, there's a ton of celebrities pictured in the most beautiful clothes, accessories, and shoes. The problem is, the magazines either state exactly what the celeb is wearing or, at best, provide an only slightly cheaper version. Now, you can get celeb looks for a LOT less on http://www.stylepointer.com/. You're just a click away from looks from more than 60 different celebrities. Victoria Beckham alone has about 24 looks to choose from. It's a great site for women who love to dress and look like a star.

Another day, another knockoff

YSL Tribute Canvas Leopard Pumps $675

asdfa

Meagen Good is very clearly in love with her YSL Tribute pumps, she's worn them to no less than three red carpet events this month! Understandably so. They come in two Amazonian heel heights (4 and 6 inches) and the black version was a true it-shoe of last year. Here they are in all their glory...

Want a taste of the good life for a fraction of the price? Head on over to BakersShoes.com where 1) they are having a serious sale on platforms (I was forced to get these gladiator pumps) and 2) you can pick up these fab slingback lookalikes:

On sale for $71.95!

Steal this Look

The oh so hood fabulous KeyKey Cole performed at the Essence/Toyota "If Looks Could Kill" event last night in NYC (party pics from this event coming next week!) in a great Diane von Furstenburg mini dress. The gorgeous jungle ikat print transports me to a faraway tropical paradise, and at the same time is sophisticated enough to make any city girl shine.

Tuvallu Jersey Dress $325

A version of her dress is available at Neiman Marcus, in an ultra forgiving tunic silouhette. Click yourself on over and grab it!

Over your Uggs?

Looking for a replacement for your well-worn Uggs? Fringed suede boots like the ones seen on LC are a chic alternative that will make you feel more like a free spirit, and less like a schlump. Here are three alternatives, from high to low.

Jimmy Choo Fringed Boots $660

Antik Batik Fringed Boots $124 (down from $310)

Minnetonka Fringed Tall Boot $89.95

There seems to be a correlation: more money, less fringe.

P.S. Peace to all my Native American nutterbutters!

Now Wear This! Mackage Outerwear

The Valeria in Gun Metal

One sign of a true fashionista? Embracing the cold in effortlessly glamorous outerwear.

Mackage, a couture-inspired line of coats, jackets and knits, can help you do just that. Made from luxe materials in tailored silhouettes, the designs boast the most fabulous details that stand out in a crowd of puffer jackets and furs. According to Women's Wear Daily, Mackage can make any woman “sexy and glamorous in a jet-setter way.” The looks are quite urban-chic, with dazzling details like military-inspired hardware, leather accents, puffed sleeves, oversized belts, and scarf collars.

The Alix in Oatmeal

The Alison in Black

The downside? These coats start at around $500, and most only go up to a size Large. Boo! Thank goodness for Soia & Kyo, a downscale (read: younger and cheaper) line from the same Montreal-based design team as Mackage that goes up to an XL. YAY!!!

Soia & Kyo Gemma Coat in Cream
