Elizabeth & James Au Revoir Dress
Posted on September 2, 2007 at 12:38 pm (PST) | Comments Off
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are covering all their bases. Not just satisfied with their clothing line for tweens, America’s most successful twins have gone ahead and added two new fashion lines to their repertoire. First up was The Row, a line of high-priced, super-luxe wardrobe staples that Barneys New York picked up, and now they’ve come up with Elizabeth & James. Named after their siblings, Elizabeth & James is priced at the contemporary level, a step below the designer prices of The Row. Neiman Marcus has already put the line online, offering my favorite piece, the Elizabeth & James Au Revoir Dress, for a very reasonable $360 dollars. It’s 100% silk in a gorgeous grey with lipstick detail at the bust, with a swingy silhouette that pairs great with tights. It what chic girls would pick in a New York Minute!

To celebrate Neiman Marcus reaching 100 years as a beacon of luxury, Prada has created this absolutely, incomparably fabulous Croc Logo Clutch. For $8990, you get one fantastically flashy clutch in the most absurdly luxe hot pink croc. It’s glamorous and divine on too many levels to count! If the price is a bit too steep, Prada also made the bag in leather, called the Spazzalato Clutch and available in black, nude, and cherry for just $995. All versions come with a slick little Prada for Neiman Marcus luggage tag to commemorate the occasion, and all are definitely worthy of 100 years of fabulosity!
Rozae Nichols Alligator Chiffon Dress

Alligator has never looked so delightfully pretty! Rozae Nichols is unbelievably keen with prints and cuts that echo the 1960s while still appealing to modern sensibilities. This Rozae Nichols Alligator Chiffon Dress is the perfect example of that. It’s something I imagine a girl like Sienna Miller or Beyonce could pull off with absolute ease. It’s the epitome of summer cool, with the earth tones requisite of any chic outfit this season. It’s $695 from Neiman Marcus, so get one to wear to all those amazing end-of-summer parties. It’s breezy, easy, and just exotic enough to set you ahead of the crowd.
Bamford Ombre Crocodile Tote

I’m torn. The Bamford Ombre Crocodile Tote, available from Neiman Marcus, has got me all confused. At first glance, this tote is totally covetable. With the stunning green and grey ombré croc skin, it’s definitely a winner. The tote shape is handy as can be, and the details all look in place. This was a bag to have! But I looked at the price, a hefty $16,500, and I thought, aw shucks! For that same price, I could get many, many other bags. In fact, I could get 4 or even 8 Bottega Veneta bags! So yeah, I guess the real dilemma would be the fact that I can’t even remotely afford this bag. But if you could, would you spring for it?
Beauty Find: Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact
Posted on August 8, 2007 at 10:21 pm (PST) | Comments Off
Bobbi Brown’s super versatile Shimmer Brick Compact ($38; at Neiman Marcus) is a must-have summer addition to your beauty accoutrements.  Dust shimmer over lids for a natural wash of color; sweep across cheeks to create a radiant glow; turn shimmer brick powder into a frosty lip color by coating lips with a waxy lip balm, then going into your makeup palette with your finger or a brush apply your favorite color. Also, apply shimmer brick to your décolletage atop Bobbi Brown bronzer to get glowing tan skin. These flip-open shimmer compacts come in six variations—apricot, bronze (my favorite!), beige, pink, rose— and the newest shade is the Limited Edition Shimmer Brick Compact in Sandstone.  How can you go wrong with this true beauty multitasker?
