Fossil Vintage Reissue Flap Crossbody Bag (thefind.com Guest Post)

by

From our friends at thefind.com:

Whatever happened to Fossil? Somehow they were put on the back burner in comparison to the other vintage-inspired brands. But, nonetheless, the once favored brand has recently come to my rescue. Tired of carrying a bulky, ugly, padded backpack around town, I felt the need to switch it up with something more versatile and compatible. Mostly so that I didn’t need to keep switching my bag out everytime I need to bring a laptop or was able to leave it. During the hunt, my criteria was simple. Something attractive, comfortable, durable, and could fit my laptop. It was longer hunt than I had anticipated. Half of the available bags were either too small for my 14 inch computer, to thin a strap making it painful on my shoulder, or just plain ugly. That is until I found the Fossil Vintage Reissue Crossbody Bag. A leather beauty that is as durable as its classic, dapper design and look. It’s a stellar reproduction of an iconic silhouette from the past making it an investment that will be timeless and not trendy.  Perfect for traveling, when I’m working in the city, and when I just plain need all the bag room I can have. Score? Yes. It’s easy on the eyes and not too bad on the wallet.

ferragamo clutch handbag

[Featured above: Salvatore Ferragamo clutch in houndstooth fabric and calfskin, $1,290.]

Don’t get sticker shock. $1,290 for a Ferragamo clutch is actually quite reasonable. But if you find this handbag pick out of your price range (I know it’s out of mine), then just stare, or click through to LollieShopping.com, for similarly styled, affordable options ranging from just $28-$345.

Naya & Fashion Pulse Daily Show How to Get More Out of Your Shoes

by

[Julia’s Naya Quali Wedge looks, Days 1-4]

Do we really need all of this STUFF that we own? Of course not! At Fashion Pulse Daily, our mission is to review and bring to you the best products and share the latest fashion news not in hopes of you to shop more, but instead to shop smarter. That’s why we only share with you thinks that we like or are totally obsessed with, be it at an affordable price, versatile, functional, and of exceptional quality. Speaking to elements of the latter, we embarked in a Naya Renew Your Soles Five Day Challenge, in which myself and several other bloggers were given a pair of Naya Shoes to wear for five days, and in turn, donated five pairs of shoes in our closets to Renew Your Soles. See below for my boxed up gently worn shoes, which will go to those in need; some of these shoes I only wore once or twice! A good quality, comfortable pair of shoes will go the distance for you, and the earth!
Anyone who downloads the form and sends in shoes (be it one pair or 12!) to Renew Your Soles will receive a discount code via email for $20 off of a purchase of $80 or more at Shoes.com; a nice reward for doing good!

Back to the challenge: for five days, I wore the gorgeous and ultra comfy Naya Quail Wedge boots in black, equipped with vegetable tanned uppers and linings, recycled water bottle material in the lining, extra padding, and arch support. I took photos on my way to work or after, with looks ranging from the very dressy to sporty casual.

Head to the Naya Facebook page starting this Tuesday, Nov 8 – Nov 15 to see all five of my looks on display, and to vote for your favorite blogger (and I hope that’s me!).  The winner will be announced on America Recycles Day (November 15th), who will get a mini Naya shoe collection, and five lucky voters will win pairs from the Naya fall 2011 line too (that means you!).
