Valentines Day Gift Ideas #3: Tory Burch Cuffs

Posted on February 3rd, 2010 by Fashion Juice (Admin)

One affordable luxury you can get your ladies this Valentines are the gorgeous Tory Burch cuffs, specifically, the Skinny Cuff with Tory Burch logo studs. This is definitely an affordable piece of luxury for just $95… and I only say this because cuffs from Louis Vuitton or Hermes would cost five times than this amount. While Tory Burch is no Louis Vuitton or Hermes, Tory Burch is a respected designer brand.

The moment I saw the black python cuffs at Tory Burch’s site decades ago, I fell in love with it. I wanted to get it. However, I decided to get Tory Burch’s signature product first – the Reva Ballerina flats. I also got the Nico tote which I have been checking out for years – literally. And so when it went on sale for more than half the price, I knew I had to get it. Now that I’m done with Tory’s shoes and bag, I am now planning on getting one of Tory’s cuffs.

I saw the gold and silver versions of the black python when I was with my two SIL’s the last time I visited Tory Burch at Highland Park Village in Dallas. Well, I have no budget so I had to pass… my younger SIL got the gold – which was definitely a great choice. It was really pretty! But now, instead of getting the black python, I am liking the Spring/Summer version – the BLUE! It’s so pretty! I love it! I just don’t know if I’m gonna get it or not. I still have to evaluate my wish list. HAHAHA!

But anyway, for the guys out there, if you are looking for a special piece of affordable luxury, Tory Burch is the way to go. For $95, this Tory Burch Skinny Cuff is your best bet! It’s leather and it’s Tory Burch. This will be a perfect accessory for Spring and Summer.

Valentines Day Gift Ideas #2: Louis Vuitton Josephine Wallet

Posted on February 2nd, 2010 by Fashion Juice (Admin)

This one I am so excited to share with you. Actually, I already went to Louis Vuitton last weekend to check it out – the latest wallet and affordable at that, the Louis Vuitton Josephine wallet. I was quite hesitant at first… thinking that the buttons were colored. So I decided to go to my fave LV boutique to see what it’s really like in real life. It was not bad at all. In fact, the red was already sold out at the main LV boutique. However I saw the red one in another style, the Emilie wallet, which I will share with you soon. When I went to the LV store inside Neiman’s though, they have the Josephine wallet in red and well, it’s still available online.

What’s even interesting about the Louis Vuitton Josephine wallet is that the coin pouch is removable. You can just take it with you if you’re on the run or you’re carrying a clutch. It’s like a flat pencil case. I won’t be taking it out though because that compartment alone looks cheap. But so what, it really is cheap compared to the $600-700 wallets that Louis Vuitton has. But needless to say, I’m already loving this wallet. It’s not as pretty as the other expensive wallets from Louis Vuitton but what made me love it even more is the price. It’s the cheapest long wallet they have. What do you think? Should I get it? LOL. I know this is supposed to be a Valentines Day gift idea post but instead, I’m asking your opinion on the wallet. LOL! But really, I’m eager to hear your comments. What do you think of the Louis Vuitton Josephine Wallet? Share your thoughts!

Valentines Day Gift Ideas #1: Tory Burch

Posted on February 2nd, 2010 by Fashion Juice (Admin)

Sorry for the lack of decent posts lately. I have been hibernating for the past few days. I got sick as I mentioned in a previous post and after that, I just felt like relaxing and taking a break from the computer. Nevertheless, my few days were spent window shopping (okay, I got a few but cheap thrills at Forever 21), medicine shopping (since our medical flex spending money was about to expire), and cleaning the room/house… oh, and planning for Hubby’s birthday party and planning future home purchases: dining set, media tower, poker table/lounge area, etc. So anyway, the main topic of my post really is about Valentines Day gift ideas. As you know, it’s just a few days away. And so, I’m going to feature a series of Valentines Day gift ideas that you will all love. Let’s start with Tory Burch.

I know this is all too cliche. But come on! For the spirit of Valentines! Don’t you want to wear pajamas clad with hearts or red signature Tory Burch logo all over? The pajama sets retail for $125 and comes in a matching pouch. Now that is just too cute. And while you’re at it, how about $195 totes from Tory Burch in the same print? And if you’re broke like me (muhahaha) then why not just go for cosmetic cases in small and big sizes, $55 and $75 respectively. Guys, you can simply buy your lady her favorite chocolate in bite size pieces to fill that cosmetic bag. Another option would be to buy her different colors of nail polish and put it inside. That would be an extra plus!

Prepare for Spring with Ideeli Red Sale

Posted on January 31st, 2010 by Fashion Juice (Admin)

Spring is almost up! YAY! And thanks to Ideeli’s Red Sale, I’m already acquiring pieces for the Spring and Summer season. But more importantly thanks to all you who have joined Ideeli through my links. You guys rock! It’s a much needed online shopping after getting sick… My previous posts have been scheduled. Good thing I did that because I was sick for the past two days. More on that later, I’ll first show you what I got. I got two goodies for free…

First up is a beautiful maxi dress that doubles up as a skirt. What makes this special is that it is 100% silk… oooh… luxury. I love it. And the yellow popping out at the bottom half of this ombre dress is like Spring pushing out the gray color of Winter! Hmm… cheesy. LOL! But anyway, I just love that I get two ways to wear it – as a dress and as a skirt! Oooh I can’t wait to receive it and try it out! Of course, it’ll be on my Weekly Wear!

Yasb Ombre Dress

This dress was originally $174 but it was on sale for $54 and then I got it for… FREE!

Gossip Girl Meets Vampire Diaries

Posted on January 29th, 2010 by Fashion Juice (Admin)

One of my favorite shows as of late is Vampire Diaries. Thanks to my youngest brother-in-law who recommended the popular show, Hubby, the other B-I-L and I are now all fans.

Trivia

Do you know that there are a lot more viewers of Vampire Diaries than Gossip Girl. I was shocked learning this fact. But it’s true.

Still, one cannot take away the fact that both CW TV shows, Gossip Girl and Vampire Diaries are hit series of today. Blair, Chuck, Serena, Dan, Nate and Jenny  make the Gossip Girl show a hit. On the other hand, thanks to Elena, Stefan, and Damon, Vampire Diaries are getting more and more viewers each week. Some say one factor that makes Vampire Diaries a big hit is because it’s like the TV version of the hit movies “Twilight” and “New Moon”. There’s the beautiful lady that needs saving (Elena) and there’s the handsome vampire in love with a mortal (Stefan).

Going back, CW is planning a switch-a-roo. Nina Dobrev, star of The Vampire Diaries and Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester will switch it up heading to one another’s shows shaking it up as guest stars. It’s gonna be Vampire Girl meets the Upper East Side and vice versa. What do you think?

Transition from Winter to Spring like Charlize Theron

Posted on January 28th, 2010 by Fashion Juice (Admin)

Looking for some celeb-inspired outfit that will take you from Winter to Spring season? Here’s Charlize Theron showing us how to transition from winter to spring effortlessly and chic.

We know how spring is all about bright colored or pastel dresses, right? However, in the early weeks of spring, there’s still some chill in the air. So to easily transition from winter to spring, why not mix pieces from both season? Just like how we did it during the fall season?

Take for example Charlize Theron. She mixes a bright colored dress from Thakoon’s Addition Collection from Fall 09 and used Wolford black opaque tights (highly recommended and said to be the best opaque tights by stylists and celebs) with some black pumps. And to balance the dark/winter pieces at the bottom, she matches the dress with some leather jacket with sleeves that she pulled up to make it look like 3/4 sleeves. Instant chic. Now let me share with you how I’ll be transitioning from winter to spring, care of Beyond The Rack.

I have a new top/dress which I owe to you readers. It’s from the brand/label, Industry. I ordered it during the crazy Blowout Sales from Beyond the Rack. Their sales were definitely out of this world. If I’m not mistaken, I got this top for less than $20. And just look at the material. I love it. If I remember correctly the original price was around $60-80. It was definitely a good deal, not to mention I didn’t pay for it. Yay! I paired it with my recent find, the three dollar Givenchy lace tights I posted the other day.

P.S.

Please excuse my hair and face because I had these photos taken past 2 am, after a night out with friends… LOL!

Who is Designer Andy The-Anh?

Posted on January 28th, 2010 by Fashion Juice (Admin)

I’ve been meaning to talk about Andy The-Anh for a long time now. I was sent some look books of his design (thanks Erica) and may I just say that his designs can definitely level up to the likes of upcoming designers such as Thakoon, Philip Lim, and the Mulleavy sisters’ Rodarte label. Well, Andy The-Anh is fairly new in the US but it’s not stopping the label from getting good reviews.

Andy Thê-Anh was born in Vietnam and came to Canada in 1981. After graduating from college in science he entered LaSalle College where he graduated with a degree in design. As a young designer, Thê-Anh was the recipient of many high Canadian honours such as; ‘’Young Quebec Fashion Designer’’, ‘’Dubonnet Design’’ and finally the ‘’Fur council of Canada’’. Andy also won the 2006 Fashion Export Award, Canada’s equivalent to the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Award, in the category: Women’s Wear. In 2008, Andy Thê-Anh was also nominated for the Dallas Fashion Awards; Women’s Sportswear nominee.

Regarded as one of Canada’s top fashion designers and headquartered in Montreal, Andy The-Anh’s design style has been referred to as “businesswoman-chic-meets-edgy-glam- goddess” and his current collections don’t disappoint. He works with flattering cuts, luxury fabrics, and conservative colorways. With three freestanding stores already in Canada, his collections are now available in the US at Neiman Marcus, and at smaller boutiques around the country.Check out some of the pages of his current look book. Loving any of his pieces? What do you think? Leave me a comment below.
