Animal-Friendly, Faux Skins on Exotic Shoes, Bags, and Jewelry

by

[Topshop Loco V Throat Sandal, $50 (only available in size 8.5, 9.5, 10.5)]

Accessories in skins can transition any outfit from bland to brilliant. While head-to-toe snakeskin may be a bit much, a pop of skin on a bag or shoe is just enough for less obvious attention. These accessories can blend seamlessly with many looks starting right now and into the fall season.

However, why not take the cruelty -free approach? Animal lovers can still appreciate luxury, well-made animal-friendly accessories that are also quite budget-friendly. Try the brilliant Topshop sandal (above) now with jeans and a tank, or in the fall again with socks or black tights. Or, the House of Harlow Clutch (see below) can take you to an elegant, outdoor wedding or a casual, indoor date night when paired properly. Don’t shy away from faux exotic skin textures and prints! Let us help you master this trend while keeping your entire look in moderation check, and protecting the little critters and creatures of the world.

There are some great new updates to classic styles coming your way this fall/winter, such as fleece lined boots (yay! so warm!). Stay tuned for spring 2011  from Frye which is equally as exciting with sandals, flats, boots, and handbags, featuring hand-sewn and whip-stitch detailing, all coming together to pay homage to the brand’s American heritage.


Charlotte Russe and Eric Daman Bubbles & Baubles Event

This event was an introduction to the Eric Daman (Gossip Girl stylist)  for Charlotte Russe line of party dresses, all at $50 and under. There definitely were a few I wanted to grab off of the mannequin, but instead, went for accessories and shoes that were up for grabs! it’s all about studding, sparkle, and shine for holiday 2010!

Ann Taylor Spring 2011 Collection Preview

The brand has definitely approached a turning point in its design — fashion forward styles and silhouettes were the majority at the preview, combining military with feminine looks, alongside some must-have accessories and footwear. Also of note was the gorgeous, well-edited bridal gown offerings, and even some chic looks for bridesmaids as well – yes they do exist!


Molton Brown & Edwing D’Angelo’s Night

Hosted at the Molton Brown boutique in Midtown, Edwing D’Angelo displayed his statement making frocks on mannequins, live models, and the cast of the Broadway musical, Fela!

As you can see, it was a total accessory-fest at the Charlotte Russe Holiday 2009 and early Spring 2010 press preview yesterday! I completely gushed over the re-fashioned vintage jewelry and statement pieces, as well as the price points: 2 for $8, with the most expensive piece landing at $20. This season you will be certain to find your sparkle and sequins at Charlotte Russe; my favorites included the fitted sequined jacket and adorned dress (below, left) that housed hardware and sequins. For early spring delivery, expect more fitted, yet still deconstructed boyfriend jeans and fitted blazers. When does these items come out in stores, you may wonder? Soon, very very soon….
