8 Under $20: Clutches (CollegeCandy Guest Post)

by

From our friends at College Candy:

When you go out, you need to be able to carry around all your stuff–money/cards and I.D., keys, phone, camera, lipgloss, etc.–but you don’t want to be weighed down by your usual purse.  Which is why a clutch or wristlet is an absolute necessity for every college girl: they’re small enough that they won’t get in your way while you’re trying to navigate a crowded bar, but big enough to hold the essentials.

These options are all cute, big enough to hold everything you need, and cost $20 or less!

The leopard print on this one is a fun (and super fashionable) alternative to a solid-colored purse.  It’s practically a steal at only $13.98! Plus, the chain strap is removable, giving you options for different looks!

This bag is perfect for a fancy event or any special night out. With all that bling, it’s the only accessory you need!  And don’t be fooled: the pretty beading on this clutch only make it look expensive.  It’s only $18.80!

This clutch is simple enough to be dressed up or down, and the separate zippered compartments are perfect for separating the important stuff (i.e. your money and cards) from everything else (i.e. the band-aids you brought for the walk home).  Plus, the color is just gorgeous.

This clutch’s simple design makes it perfect for night or day, and it’s just another example of why quilted bags are are always in style! It comes in five different colors, and at only $15.90, you might think about buying a few!

I am a firm believer in all things sparkly when it comes to nighttime clothing and accessories.  This bag will get you lots of attention and  compliments!

Oxford Pumps Step Up Your Perfect Preppy-Chic Look! (thefind Guest Post)

by

Via thefind.com:

It’s hard to imagine that before last year, girlie versions of menswear-inspired oxford flats weren’t a wardrobe staple for nearly every in-style fashionista. And while the trend doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon, like many much-loved and well-established fashion fixation, it’s inevitably going to get its seasonal updates to keep the look fresh (and keep the trend out of “tired fad” territory)! This season the oxford is stepping up its game with schoolgirl-inspired pumps, giving the otherwise casual flat a boost in height, dressiness, and an added dose of feminine flair. These suede oxford heels from Urban Outfitters are a good basic pair to use a reference point, but for something a bit more fun, these Poetic License ‘Backlash’ pumps look like they stepped straight from a fairy tale (in the most adorable way possible, of course)! The preppy heel isn’t exactly new, but this season’s modernized versions are a bit more fun and whimsical than the pair you might have been forced to wear with your private school uniform!

What FPD Has Been Up to Lately

American Living for JCPenney Holiday Preview

The American Living for JCPenney Holiday collection just hit stores, and has some terrific pieces that function for all occasions! I was loving the Navajo sweater, ruffled skirts, and frilly tops. There’s also a perfect assortment for men and children. Plus, at JCPenney, the price is always just right – items are already marked 30% off!

Payless Holiday Collection and Spring 2011 Preview

The designer assortment just keeps getting better and better, and for Spring 2011 there are a TON of great choices from both Payless’ designer (Lela Rose, Isabel Toledo, Christian Siriano) and other labels (Zoe & Zac, American Eagle, Dexter). Expect some great comfort technology, must-have styles, accessories, and even the expansion of beauty products. You can shop the holiday collection now, and I was lucky enough to get a pair of the amazing Isabel Toledo Bow Dress Shoes.

Avon Anew Platinum Luncheon

A lovely lunch at A Voce, Columbus Circle with the face of Avon Platinum, actress Jacqueline Bisset, was my intro to Avon’s Anew Platinum Serum and Night Cream. The product use Avon’s first-ever patented Paxillium Technology , in which you will see results after two weeks. Geared toward women 60 plus, working on deep wrinkles and promises to dramatically reduce the look of those pesky lines. Shop Avon to by both of these products together to save some money, and the line also plans to include eye and lip cream, cleanser, and day cream with SPF 25.

Dr. Martens NYC Store Opening

The middle school-er inside of me died and went to heaven once I stepped inside the brand new Dr. Martens Store at 148 Spring Street in SoHo last night. I remember saving my allowance for months to own a pair, eventually amassing a collection of eight pairs (now, only one from the original ‘collection’ remains). Back to the store: so many great styles to choose from, especially a selection that look nothing like the classic ‘8-lace’ boots! I was loving the chunky heels, fleece lined, and fluero-hued varieties.
