Now I love sunglasses! I have a pair of Marc Jacobs (not shown here) that I recently purchased; however, I'm always searching for other pairs. I'm a fan of large sunglasses and all of these are definitely something that you could see me in. I love Oliver Peoples, Marc Jacobs, Roberto Cavalli and Jimmy Choo. All of these bring out your inner celeb and look amazing with jeans, bathing suit, dress and more. Take a look at some great sunglasses and decide which one is the best for you.

Fashionable Fridays: Gusto for Gustto

Oh boy today is a big day! By 10am I will be on the road heading to Skytop Lodge Resort for the Sweets Weekend in the Poconos! I think I need to get Twit Pic on my Blackberry so that I can keep you guys updated but I am unsure about the whole availability to blog from there. Anyway, I will be covering the Poconos as Paul and I have been invited to come up! But today is a great day for many reasons and one of them is the amazing sale that will take place today on Ideeli.

Ideeli is all about hooking you up with deals and sending its members emails so that it can get first dibs! Of course if you're a first row member, you get to shop sooner as opposed to later. On today's menu, Gustto! I have always known about Gustto for sometime but it was this summer in a super cute store in Hoboken called Home Slice, that I fell in love with Gustto and the love affair began. I love their rich leather bags and their bag styles which are always eye catching. Now at Ideeli, you will be able to get your own at up to 64% off! In addition, you can check out other retailers such as Saks and Nordstroms who also sell this from the comfort of the page. Finally, find out about who is wearing it and visit Gustto's site. If you're not a member, I can hook you up so you can get in on the fun! If you have never signed up, when you sign in for this site, you can use the code "bff" to not only get your invitation but to initiate your $35 credit which is a great use towards your lovely new bag!

Wearable Wednesdays: Carilyn Vaile - My Fashion Obsession

KittenCouture — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 08:00:00 -0800

I am totally a t-shirt/tank top and jeans kind of girl. I love wearing something super easy and accessorizing it. I'm all about making something you're own and adding a lot of my own creativity into it. Although I love this look, I am a HUGE fan of Carilyn Vaile which is the epitomy of making sure that you have great pieces that can be worn a variety of ways and layered at will. First of all, for those of you that don't know about Carilyn Vaile, she is very huge on the West Coast and sells through Bloomingdales and Nordstrom; however, you can also purchase her pieces at VFashions. Soon, you can purchase pieces directly on her site.

Earlier this year I had a mini shopping spree and actually purchased the light blue dress on the left in a coral color. I love that you can tie it as shown or cross the straps across the back as shown. Carilyn Vailehas a super cute dress that can be worn 10 ways whether you decide to wrap it, wear it as a skirt, put it over pants and more. This is such a great way to get maximum wear out of these pieces.

What I love most about her pieces are the colors and the soft knit material which is actually made out of bamboo. It never loses its stretch! I would definitely visit the site which on Carilyn Vaile'ssite you can see how one dress can be worn in so many ways. Also make sure to sign up to hear more news about the site so that you can be apart of the launch when she makes her items available online.

These pieces are perfect no matter whether you're hanging out in your neighborhood (I love that she has cute t-shirts, ruched tops and more), going out for the evening (you can choose to be completely glam, sexy or both) and finally she has those great weekend pieces (I love my long sleeved ruched top that's perfect to pair with cute denim and a pair of boots - brunch appropriate). This is one of my favorite designers to wear due to the ease and comfort that her pieces have. Check out all the links and I'll let you know when there are new developments from her site!
