Donna Karan Sale on ideeli Today!

August 6, 2010 By

Donna Karan Sale on ideeli
Starts Fri 8/6

Donna Karan, a fashion icon who needs no introduction, founded her eponymous collection based on what she calls “heart, body and soul.” Her inimitable skill to divine what women need (and want) has solidified a place in the pantheon of legendary designers. Karan applies that same intuitive vision to Donna Karan shoes: her pumps, boots, and T-strap designs are meant to dazzle while celebrating the individual, and enhance the wearer’s style rather than overpower it. Timeless yet always of-the-moment, Donna Karan’s sharp eye and distinct, minimalist aesthetic continue to shape the fashion landscape.

ideeli prices for this event start at just $35

Classic styling meets luxurious comfort with Born Shoes, appearing on Rue La La today at 11am ET!

If you read this blog often, you’ll know by now that Born is one of my favorite brands. I have reviewed several pairs of Born Shoes and I always try to let you know when they are on sale or where you can find them for less because they are a tad on the expensive side, but soooo worth the investment.

I expect them to be at least 40% off retail prices and it looks like there are going to be some fabulous styles available too. Join Rue La La now so you will be all ready to shop the sale at 11am EST! It’s free to join and Rue La La has tons of fabulous sales I know you’ll enjoy.

Today’s Outfit: Maxi Dress from Ideeli

July 9, 2010 By

Valerie Maxi Dress

I’m 33 weeks pregnant now, due August 24th. Not technically “today’s” outfit, I wore this gorgeous Valerie Maxi Dress on Monday and just had to share it with you. I purchased it on ideeli several weeks ago and I absolutely adore this dress. It was love at first sight!

It’s made of a very lightweight and breathable cotton material and although it’s not maternity, it has enough room for my belly. I also love that it’s a bit on the short side for a maxi dress, so it ended up being the perfect length for my short 5’3″ figure.

I’ve worn it with Born Gladiolus Sandals as well as with Born Nordi Sandals.

I can’t find anything about the brand “Valerie” online, but the tag says it’s made in Bali. I’m not sure where you can purchase Valerie clothes from and I had never even heard of the brand before I saw it on ideeli. I didn’t really care what the brand was, when I saw this dress, I just knew I had to have it.

The description of the sale from the ideeli site read:


    “Sometimes the journey is the destination. When Miami-based designer Valerie Levy took at trip to Bali to get away from the pressures of everyday life, she found herself at home amidst all the lush foliage, flowers, and intoxicating scents of the tropical paradise. Setting out to capture that same feeling in her designs so that other women could enjoy it, she created Valerie, a collection of sultry dresses that evoke an immediate sense of nirvana when you put them on. Colorful tropical prints and soft tie-dye fabrics call to mind exotic beaches, palm trees, and relaxation. Sexy plunging V-necklines and comfortable empire waistlines embellished with fringe or lace are like Shangri-La in a dress, perfect for a calm day at the beach or a casual night out. Just throw them into your suitcase and go!”

I get so many compliments on the dress everytime I wear it. This dress definitely gets some attention, but not in a bad way. It’s just very eclectic and hippie styled. I’m absolutely thrilled I will still get to keep on wearing it after I give birth because it’s not a maternity dress.

Tell me what you think of this dress in the comments!

On RueLaLa Today: Betsey Johnson

July 9, 2010 By

It’s Betsey Johnson day at RueLaLa again, and that’s one boutique I always keep an eye out for. 

Of course, Betsey is known for her outrageous sensibility, but in actuality her dress silhouettes are quite classic.  She creates her signature edge by using unexpected fabrics and details, which keeps the look fresh, modern, and fun.  Fashion that doesn’t take itself too seriously always makes me smile…

For example, I’d love to see this great Betsey Johnson dress

paired with a boyfriend blazer. 

And this one

with a timeless, girly cardigan and strappy heels.       

Over the last couple of years, I’ve been so into dresses that I now have enough to outfit a girls’ finishing school- which means I’ll be holding back today.  But I’m crossing my fingers that some of her fabulous legwear will be part of the boutique, and if so, I’ll snatch it up.  Sassy, sheer tights are just the thing during early fall, before the temperatures catch up with the styles.  With any luck, you’ll see me sporting some Betsey legs in October!

RLL Logo - Hi Res

Argento Vivo Sterling Silver Jewelry will be on sale on RueLaLa.com today starting at 11am ET!

Gold and platinum aren’t the only metals fashion mavens find precious. Sterling Silver, with its seductively smooth texture, glossy sheen and fluid lines, is considered sexy and stylish by women of all ages, fashionistas and trend-setters alike. Argento Vivo Signature, the collection of high-polished silver designed for the highly-polished woman, has re-defined the art, passion and fashion of silver jewelry.

I am a huge fan of Argento Vivo and have purchased several items during one of their sales on RueLaLa. I’m looking forward to seeing what they have available today!

Meet me at RueLaLa.com at 11am ET to see what’s in store! RueLaLa is accessible through membership only. Membership is free but available through invitation-only.
