Valentines Day Gift Ideas #4: Marc by Marc Jacobs Totes

Posted on February 3rd, 2010 by Fashion Juice (Admin) | Leave a Comment »

Marc by Marc Jacob spring/summer totes for under $200 seems to be a very pretty good deal for a Valentines Day gift don’t you think? Your lady love will definitely enjoy a new tote to carry to the beach or to any outing this spring/summer. At the same time, your pockets won’t go as broke if and when you go for a Chanel, LV, Gucci, Bottega, Fendi, Balenciaga, or Hermes for that matter. And besides, who wants to carry those expensive and high maintenance bags to the beach, right? That’s a big OUCH! Imagine all the possible things that can happen to that bag!

So below I’m sharing with you some of the latest totes from Marc by Marc Jacobs that are easy on the pockets…

Valentines Day Gift Ideas #3: Tory Burch Cuffs

Posted on February 3rd, 2010 by Fashion Juice (Admin) | Leave a Comment »

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 #1: Tory Burch

Posted on February 2nd, 2010 by Fashion Juice (Admin) | Leave a Comment »

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!

OMG! Dear New Yorkers, aren’t you just glad that the big day has come? Calling all Fashionistas out there! Today is the start of the New York Fashion Week!!!

It is a must for a Fashionista. It’s like watching at least one live NBA game for the basketball lovers (I watched Dallas vs Rockets in Dallas). It’s like watching at least one live Formula 1 race for the car enthusiasts/Formula 1 fans (I’ve seen the 1st Formula 1 in Shanghai China and the one in Indianapolis USA before it got shut). Etc. Etc. Etc…

Valentine’s Day Dinner Date at Pisces

Posted on February 16th, 2008 by Fashion Juice (Admin) | 1 Comment »

What: Valentine’s Day Dinner Date
Where: Pisces Seafood Restaurant at Hyatt Regency Hotel
When: Feb. 14, 2008 (duh); reservation at 930 pm

So I was not expecting any special dinner as we were saving up for something big. Imagine my surprise when I discovered we were eating at a hotel. Discovered. I’ve always found out about my hubby’s surprises… On my ’07 bday, hubby and I ate at Bistro 300 Resto also located at Hyatt Regency. We (more of I) thought of eating at Pisces in the future. Based on previous exp, he always managed to take note of those kind of things in his head even if he is “Mr. Forgetful Bob”. So come next special occasion, I already know the surprise. This time though, I was so busy with work and blog and chores that I wasn’t really putting much thought on V-Day (except for what to wear). So I had no idea. But on the day itself, he kept telling me that if we cancel, he’ll be charged $50. So, that’s what made me curious. I thought we were just having dinner at Olive Garden’s, Red Lobster, or something to that effect…
