Timmy Wood Eiffel Tower Bag in SATC

The 'Sex and the City' isn't coming quick enough. After a year of seeing pics from the set and now that the trailers are up and out, I am ready for the fashion infused movie.

Since the release is coming quick, all the promotional info and products are trickling out as well, including this incredible Eiffel Tower bag that I remember oozing over last summer when I saw SJP carrying it on the set in pictures. SJP's handcrafted bag is by designer Timmy Woods and is lathered with Swarovsky crystals and comes with a $1,920 price tag. However, you can get the bling-less version for $375 if that's more you and your wallet's agreement.

The bag is available exclusively at Patricia Field's website, which is appropriate since she was the head costume designer for the series and movie.

Don't give up on Herve'

You know there are some trends and styles that celebs and people wear out so much that even the name of the designer and label makes your head start to hurt and you make constant threats to never mention/worship that name again.

As of recently, the name of Herve' Leger was making me have mini fits of rage. I was so sick of seeing the many colors of the infamous Leger bandage dress. After seeing the dress in every color and color combo possible, I was becoming less sexy and more slutty. However, just when I was trying to erase the visions of the gammet of celebs seen in one out of my head eventually my hard drive, this basketweave halter dress has made me once again appreciate Herve' Leger dresses.

Classy, sexy, and still very Herve' Leger.

Worthy Reader: Lip Gloss an invitation to skin cancer?

I know I am not the only one currently toting and stashing multiple tubes of lip gloss so that I am in constant reach of one at all times, but this article is making me think more than twice about deducting more than a few from my stash...er...I mean stashes.

Tee Time...The Bamboozled Tee

Apparently, this girl can't get enough of bamboo earring tees, because I just bought this The Bamboozled Tee by Princess of the Posse. Also, apparently t-shirt designers can't get enough of featuring bamboo earrings on tees, because this aboout the 15 zillionth tee I've seen featuring them. However, I just love the colors. Wonder why, then look around! ;D

Antoinette Lee Designs Fall 2008 Collection

What a better way to wake up then to not have to got to the office and find that the new "interest" in your life dropped off some Starbucks on his way to work and see a sweet little surplus check deposited in your account just in time for the latest collection from Antoinette Lee Designs.

Antoinette Lee Designs Fall 2008 collection features some gorgeous colors pefect for fall and a new "member" to the fam.

I have and will always be a fan of Stella and her large pockets and compartments. Stella is a classic, but versatile since she can be carried as a shoulder/messenger style thanks to her leather strap or you can take off her straps and carry her as a tote. Fab. The Stella is perfect for all my fellow big bag worshippers. Stella comes in black, dove grey, and my fav of cream snake. Stella is the strong, yet sexy type.

Mia is the latest member of the Antoinette Lee Design fam and she is definitely a trendinista, because she falls right into line with the array of those smaller bags that seem to be popping up on many fashionistas' shoulders. She is very curvaceous with curved panels to help accentuate her shape and is attached to a leather/chain strap that allows you to wear her messenger or shoulder style. Versatile and trendy. Mia is available in Black, Purple/Grey/Black, and Cream Snake/Navy Suede/Pearl Pink.

It would seem fashionably unconstitutional to have a Antoinette Lee Design post and not include one of their top styles; Dolce. Dolce is a true friend, because she is up for any situation you want to carry her. She and her oversize clutch style fits in everywhere from the office to a happy hour shindig. She would even look fab at church or a black tie dinner. One reason she would fit into any of the places that I mentioned is the fact that although she is on the bigger realm of the clutch clique, she has simple lines but comes in a multitude of colors that range from basic black to purple to pearl fuschia. Plus, she also comes with a removable strap, so you can use her in various looks! I swoon for her in the pink pearl/navy outfit!

Music, Fabulous...SoL-AngeL and The Hadley Street Dreams

For the past couple of weeks, I have really been rocking to the new single from Solange titled I Decided. Its was different and refreshing and something that was definitely needed in today's saturation of repetitive RnB and pop music.

The single and all the tidbits I have been hearing had me more than interested, but the gorgeous promos pics and list of artists and producers that will be featured on the album have me super amped to hear Sol-AngeL and The Hadley Street Dreams. The album will feature appearances by Marsha Ambrosius of Floetry, Cee-Lo, Lil Wayne, Estelle, and production by Raphael Sadiq and Pharell who produced I Decided.

To find out more about Solange, visit her official website or her MySpace, which she updates frequently. Plus, you can pre-order Sol-AngeL and The Hadley Street Dreams on itunes.

Tee Time...pa:nuu The Annabell Oversize T-Shirt

So 80s baby, but I love it! This pa:nuu oversize tee with is bold colors and print, collarless neck, and over the shoulder swag is so different with an 80s twist in the style category. Although, its considered a tee, I know it will be mostly worn as a dress, like the model. I would probably only be seen around the house in this tee, but it sure as hell beats that tank and rolled up sweats I usually waddle around my apartment in, definitely!

Dior Does It Again!

I know I am not the only person to every see a fabulous piece of something so incredible that you become an impromptu mathematician and start adding and dividing in record speed to come up with a date that you will have saved up enough moohlah to score that lovely "lust-have' item. Well, these Dior Deco pumps did that to me this morning while sitting at my desk and my magic date is May 29th!

These fierce and possibly fall wardrobe addicting shoes are constructed with suede and trimmed with shiny patent leather and I mustn't forget the bow and delicate "D" for Dior that dangles slightly from the shoe. The purple is just as gorgeous, but the blue is destined for me! Love them!

Yay or Nay...Burberry Prorsum Top

When it comes to the list of classic and traditional labels out there, Burberry is defintitely near the top of the list. However, even Burberry has a wild side, which they show via their Prorsum label. Probably one of the most dramatic pieces I have seen in a while happens to be Burberry Prorsum's Jumbo Paillette Top. The extremely large paillette are different, but since they are not some outlandish color the top is mayeb not that "crazy" for some of you to wear. However, I am still on the fence about this. So....yay or nay?

A cute denim jacket?!

I have one trusty denim jacket that I have had for about 5 years, but it still looks fab and chic. Its a medium rinse and has a tailored look thanks to an accented waistline and princess sleeves. Very feminine and one of my fav pieces in my closet. Its also my go to jacket on those chilly day, as long as I am not wearing jeans. I will never be able to find myself wearing a jean jacket AND jeans. Too 80s.

However, other than the look and shape of the jacket and the look and shape it gives me, the reason I have kept on it for so long is because I really haven't been able find a denim jacket that doesn't look so "jeansy" (yeah, that's my word), but also just adds and can pull together an outfit. Needless to say, I was in shock and awe when I spotted this almost slightly denim looking jacket at Urban Outfitters. Its chic, different, and comes with a trech-style to belt to help accentuate my waist. Thank goodness a girl just got paid, because I need this jacket...NOW!!

Dunks n' Florals

Dunks and Florals. Aha...my spring '08 dunks! Although I am not the most floral loving chica in the world, the subtle tonal floral print on a white/off white suede makes me giddy to whip out my VISA and get to ordering. I was just saying to mi madre yesterday how was planning to score some casual white jeans this week for the spring. Looks like I have found the shoes to rock with them BEFORE finding the jeans! WTG, Samida! LOL.

WHO OWNS...Alexander Wang Goddess Dress

Actress Megan Fox wore this Alexander Wang colorblocking dress to the premiere of Transformers back in the Summer 2007, while reality star/fashion designer Lauren Conrad wore the same dress to the season 3 premiere of The Hills a couple of months later and Chudney Ross, daughter of Diana Ross, wore the same dress to model Claudia Jordan's B-Day bash this weekend. Do you prefer Megan's loose and layered look, Lauren's close fit and classic look, or Chudney's basic and semi-eccentric look? Who owns it? BTW, I was swooning hard for a dress that looked like this when I first saw it last year!

Flirty Feet = Flirty Mood?

I don't what it is about when I decide to break out my fresh french manicured toes in some sexy, yet chic sandals that makes it seem like I have stepped up something in my look. Yesterday, I was snooped, scoped, and swaggered on my at least 10 different guys in less than 10 hours! I don't know what it was, but a girl's ego and confidence went sky high! I can't help but to think it was because of my flirty make-up and Holly Golightly feeling I as possessed with, but I have a feeling it was just one of those days that I rarely get.

Either way, I am in the mood for love. I love being single, but I love a good boink and kiss fest as much as the next socially aware chick! Needless to say, I am all about a pair of sexy sandals to get some more of mojo-filled days like I had yesterday. These Croc-stamped strappy sandal from Dior just scream "Flirt with damn it!".

Although they are more than my self-imposed limit of "girly", the croc and detail galore makes me forget about the overload of pink and focus on how they are sexy and uber femine at the same time. Lovin' them!

Trend Watch...Green Nails

"Going Green" or "Go Green". You have definitely heard and read those words everywhere in recent months, days, and weeks. I will admit that I have proudly found myself reaching for more eco-friendly things recently. However, this post is not about the eco-friendly going green, but instead about the number of fingers I see tipped and painted in various shades of green.

Celebs including Angela Simmons, Dawn from Danity Kane and Rihanna have all been spotted getting their green polish on! It case you don't know, I have a rule about nail polish colors; "Never wear a polish the color of fungus" and green is definitely fungus-y. However, I might be tempted in the near future to get my green on, here are some green polishes for those of you ready to tackle this trend.

Rebecca Minkoff for Momoberry by Sanrio

Sanrio and Hello Kitty are such iconic staples in pop and fashion history. To keep the label and name fresh, Sanrio frequently recruits well respected names to help contribute to the line in form of limited edition lines.

One of the latest fashion pairings with Sanrio and Hello Kitty is with designer Rebecca Minkoff. I absolutely love her clean, simple, yet fun bag! Plus, I have always been a sucka for a unique name when it comes to shoes and handbags, which she definite has with names like Tryst and Morning After bags.

However, what I really love about Rebecca Minkoff right now is the limited edition pieces she designed for Sanrio, because they not only incorporate the Hello Kitty look but also reflected her individual handbag style. Since I am on a cute coin purse mission, I am swooning over that pure cuteness coin purse! Check out more of Rebecca's pieces at Sanrio.

Shoe Star

When I was in the third grade, my friends Angela, Natalie, and I would get the biggest thrill and fun drawing different outfits. Although I loved to draw those fingerless women in cute and fab clothes, I truly enjoyed drawing different shoes and heels. I loved it so much that I seriously thought that I was going to be a shoe designer. Hmm, maybe that is where my addiction to shoes started?

Anyway, Footwear News and Nine West, in association with New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology, are putting seven promising designers to the test in the first Shoe Star contest. The constentants have a wonderful chance to work on '09 Nine West collection. I have posted the first episode below!
