These Pleats are Hard to Beat!

This Pleated Strapless Dress by Chloe is amazing. While reading Net-a-Porter’s magazine story titled "Wedding Belles," I saw this item and immediately thought: forget wedding. This dress is one of those hard to find day-to-evening pieces. You could pair this with flats and a cute, lightweight cardigan to go to work. When it is time for your date or dinner and a "quick" drink with friends, you can whip out those heels and a clutch. Get this silk chiffon dress on sale for $3,255 before it goes out of stock.

Welcome to the Jungle!

Another perfect little summer number, all wrapped up and ready to go.  Haha, I made a pun!  How very punny — ohmygod another one!  I am the queen of comedy!

More to the point, this dress combines durability with excellent tailoring to create a great summer essential.  Plus it has that signature Diane von Furstenberg wrap-look that is oh so chic.  From the wild savanna to the concrete jungle, this versatile look can make for tons of different outfits.  Dress it up with gold or dress it down with some chunky wood bangles — whatever you do, just remember that it’s $298 and dry clean only.

Gozen Ichi Ji Kyu Hun Desu

Who needs a watch that can easily tell time when you have your cell phone? TokyoFlash creates unique timepieces that take the common act of telling the time to an intellectual level. The Twelve 5-9 L Version watch requires that you read the instructions first before you put it on. The staggered gunmetal face is remarkably slim with the hours on the right and the minutes on the left., creating an unusual look. Instead of looking at numerical digits on the watch, you only see an led light and Hiragana, Japanese characters, for the time. So for $103.84 you get a hightech and stylish piece of hardware and the ability to tell time in Japanese.

A Rare Vintage Find

Right now I am on a vintage rush that could only be caused by finding an item that would make any fashion stylist or editor steaming with jealousy. That item just happens to be "The Suit." This vintage Christian Dior herringbone skirt suit reflects more of the glamour and elegance that Monsieur Dior exhibited himself rather than some of the most recent work that has been presented on runways for the couture house. This suit, although expertly molded and shaped, can only fit an extra small to small. Yet it is still worthy of being considered a treasure due to the fact that it is a  work of art exhibited in fabric.  Not only would you be getting a great garment in such excellent condition, but you would also be getting a great deal, as it only costs $189.

Trunk Ltd. “The Essential Beatles” Tee

Trunk Ltd. makes the quintessential vintage rocker tee. They have tees for every musical act from Jimi Hendrix to Pink Floyd to Miles Davis. Mischa Barton is always wearing one while she runs around Hollywood. Their "The Essential Beatles" Tee is a fantastic tee for the Sgt. Pepper crowd. At $104 from Belle Gray, it isn’t exactly cheap for a tee, but it’s extremely high on style. Pair it under a trim blazer and jeans for a great afternoon look, or with shorts and sandals for a cool summer concert look. Lonely hearts deserve a little love, don’t they?
