Beware of Outlet Malls  

Sunday, December 6, 2009


This holiday season its especially easy to get swept into Outlet Mall shopping. Unbeknownst to most of the public, most designers have special lines they sell only at the Outlet Mall. Ann Taylor, Brooks Brothers and Coach are three examples of designers that sell a "separate" line manufactured especially for their "outlet" stores. Be wary when paying discounted prices online for these goods which could be counterfeits. Opt instead for quality construction and good design without the overpriced label.

Splurge!  

Sunday, September 20, 2009

If I could choose one word to inspire you with your wardrobe this Fall and Winter it would be "Splurge". Accessories are plentiful in rich vibrant colors and extravagant textures. Selective purchases will inject your personal style with a certain flair.


If you can only make one splurge this season - try one of our fabulous cocktail rings. They're solid - most are created in .925 sterling silver. If you haven't indulged yourself in fashion jewelry recently - the cut and quality of our stones is superb. Most are priced about $55. These would make a delightful gift and yes, Sterling Silver can be sized.

How to wear the trend...
No matter if your treat yourself to some fleur de lis bling for Saints games or a cocktail ring keep in mind that you should only wear one piece at a time. Opt for either the necklace or earrings near your face and only wear one of these cocktail rings per hand. Too much of a good thing is just that - too much of a good thing!

Vivien Learns to Tango!  

Saturday, September 12, 2009


Living in New Orleans inspired me to develop a real style all my own. On random balmy evenings - where you can sit on the porch and enjoy a breeze - I would ring several girlfriends to meet. New Orleans has several types of drinking establishments - and when I got the girls together we would begin at a particuliar small swanky coffeehouse. The rooms of which were bejeweled with antique sofas recovered in vibrant colors, lit by the glow of exquisite chandeliers and the walk to illuminated with gas lanterns.
All for a mere $5 could I have a delicate French pastry and tea. Just sitting inside I would feel rich and well traveled. Those evenings are the inspiration for this bag. Vivien. Vivien is a modern girls clutch, flashy enough in silver faux python yet whimsical enough to pair with jeans and a tank. Vivien. $50.00
How to wear the trend... Vivien is for concerts and cocktails, out on the town or just to add a touch of flair to your evening. The rich silver faux python works with denim, black trousers, flirty cocktail dresses and of course to the Ball. I took mine to a movie at The Fox.
