This week’s most-wanted: Reed Krakoff Glazed Glovetan Leather Kit Bag, $990

We all have those high-end fashion pieces we simply can’t stop dreaming about. Someone once told me if the same item keeps popping into your brain, that means you just gotta have it. I guess she wasn’t on a budget!

Not to worry, however! At FPD, our goal is to find pieces that mimic those luxury items we love. We’re pretty confident that you’ll be fully satisfied with our frugal finds. Go ahead, make the streets your runway. Because, after all, fashion should not be a privilege, but a passion! Check out our three comparable picks below, that we may end up liking even more than the Reed Krakoff original find!

[Juicy Couture Millie Saturday Soiree in Saddle, $152]

The white trim on the Juicy Couture Saddle above is so fresh!

[The Limited Saddle Shoulder Bag, $69.90]

This version from The Limited epitomizes practicality.

[Fossil Vintage Re-Issue Flap Crossbody Bag, $198 via Nordstrom.com]

Fossil’s ’70’s inspired take with a modern twist will work well for everyday.

I’m smitten with this adorable tan bag and it’s flap snap closure, and I’ve set my heart on getting something like it into my purse collection.

Is there an accessory you’ve been craving?

80’s inspired neons are having a flashy flashback moment! From Nanette Lepore‘s jackets and handbags, to Rag and Bone’s electric turquoise and orange, the Spring 2012 runways popped in anything-but-boring neons.

You can be a total knockout in these hues with a few simple tips and learn how to compliment your skin tone. This is an easy trend to pull off if you simply know your neons, and we are here to help!

For those with fairer skin, hot pink is is calling your name. Avoid green and yellow as these tend to wash you out. If you have an olive complexion, shine on in vivid tangerines and corals. Those with darker skin will stand out in lime greens and bold yellows. Continue reading…

Alberta Ferretti for Impulse

by

In an astonishing collection of 24 pieces, Alberta Ferretti for Impulse (at Macy’s), a limited edition capsule collection, is as ladylike as it is sensual. The light, summer clothing is designed for the strong, seductive woman as evidenced in the ad campaign. The ads feature an Italian woman against the stunning backdrop of Positano. Bohemian flairs are coupled with garden party fashions, heavily influenced by Ferretti’s Italian heritage.

Oranges, pinks, and teals are offset by more refined whites and tans, with the standout pieces certainly being the dresses. Whether you prefer maxi or mini, you’ll vibe with the beautiful options, and perhaps even struggle to pick one.

Alberta Ferretti for Impulse will launch April 17th, 2012 in 185 stores Macy’s nationwide and at Macys.com.
