Archive for April, 2011

Felix Rey always has the cutest little accessories especially his coin purses. The brand never ceases to amaze me and always has me saying, “Oh, that’s so cute”. The just happened when I saw the “Bunny” Coin Purse on Shop Bop. It’s April, the month of bunnies if you believe in Easter of course. If you don’t, I’m sure you know that April is associated with colors, cuteness, bunnies and new life.

The coin purse may not be the ideal Spring colors but boy is it cute! I love it! I currently own Louis Vuitton coin purses and I would probably stop using them if I owned this adorable piece.

I think I love it to death only because it’s different. It’s not everyday you see a coin purse in the shape of an animal let alone see someone carrying something like this around. If someone has a gorgeous purse, you expect them to whip out a coin purse that is equally fashionable not one of an animal.

Perfect month to sport this around, but even if it’s not April this is definitely a cute accessory to own. Adds some spunk to your collection and gives your coins some fun style. Adorable!

You can purchase the Felix Rey “Bunny” Coin Purse at Shop Bop for $110.

I have a secret obsession with tights. I do live in Florida, where it’s pretty much hot all year long, but I love them. The bad part about living in Florida, is that they don’t get used often. I mean, who wants to cover their legs up when it’s 100% humidity outside and scorching hot?

I wore a pair of tight recently to an audition and they were a hit. They were by Donna Karen and were two toned! Not everyday you see tights that are one color on the front and a different color on the back.

When I saw the Rodarte for Opening Ceremony “Tattoo” tights I wanted them instantly. They are kind of spunky but boy are they cool to look at. I’ve always wanted a tattoo but I definitely don’t have the guts to ever get one. Me and pain don’t mix so pretending I have some on my legs is close enough!

The tights literally look like you have tattoo’s below your knee’s. I’m sure up close you can tell but from far away I would imagine it’s almost as if it’s an optical illusion. These would look so awesome with any pair of shorts. If you live up North, or somewhere where it’s a little cooler, these might keep your legs a little warm. One thing is for sure, they are a cooler alternate to jeans! Gives your legs a break from being covered and a chance to look a little edgy!

Very cool accessory to own!

Today is Earth Day, so I thought it would be fun to share some eco-friendly finds with all of you. For this second post, I thought it would be interesting to see what a website called WorldOfGood.com (by ebay) had to offer! It is a global marketplace where every purchase has a positive impact. Not only will you find environmentally-friendly products, but socially responsible products as well! Why is this such a big deal? Just looking at it from an Earth Day point of view, social problems are often environmental problems (and vice versa). The two things really do go hand-in-hand! So a product that is socially responsible can be just as important as a product that is environmentally-friendly. Below you will find some of my favorite products from the site! Check them out!

Earth Day is just around the corner, so I thought it would be fun to share some eco-friendly finds with all of you. I would like to start with these cute sneakers that have always been near and dear to my heart! Meet the Satire Hemp Sneakers from a company called Simple! Why do I love these sneakers so much? Could it be because they come from a company that is dedicated to making their products 100% sustainable? These sneakers were made with sustainable and environmentally materials. The exterior is hemp, while the rubber sole is made from recycled car tires. The interior is lined with organic cotton and the laces are made of recycled PET plastic. Heck, even the box (and packaging) is made of 100% post consumer paper pulp! While this all is very wonderful, this isn’t the reason why I love these sneakers so much. Nope, it’s because they are all of this AND adorable at the same time. Do you know how hard it is to find cute, eco-friendly shoes? These cuties bring with them such a huge sigh of relief!

Find the Simple Satire Hemp Sneakers at Zappos, where they are available in a variety of colors!

I’m a big fan of Tory Burch. Pretty much anything the designer brand comes out with these days I fall in love with. I’d like to think Tory Burch is one of those classy designer brands. Everything the brand produces seems to have a touch of sophistication to it. I love wedges, especially espadrilles. They are perfect for the hot months and look cute with just about any Summer outfit.

The Tory Burch “Lace Up” Wedge Espadrilles definitely caught my eye because I thought they were quite unique. I’ve seen espadrilles that tie up around your legs but I’ve never seen an espadrille that tied as if it were a sneaker! I never thought I’d like espadrilles that looked like this, but it works! They are adorable and would look amazing with a pair of shorts. The lace up kind of gives them a sporty look, so if you aren’t into the classic espadrille look here is a sportier version that looks just as fabulous!

You can purchase the Tory Burch “Lace Up” Wedge Espadrilles at Shop Bop for $165.

Summer is coming soon and there is no better way to spice up the season than with a new pair of sandals. Of course when I say sandals, I mean a pair with some heel on them. I mean face it, if you are a fashionista and you are going to some tropical place it’s always nice to walk around in a pair of heels. I know I’m the type of person that if I’m on the beach, at a pool, on a ship or walking around somewhere tropical I want heels on. Maybe with not much height to them but heels are always a must.

The Diane von Furstenberg “Vanity” Ankle Tie Sandals scream Summer. The heel doesn’t have too much height on them and the fact that you have to tie them is just fabulous. I would totally strut in these with a black bikini or one-piece. Laying out in these would be fancy but you would also get a really bad farmers tan. The black, white and navy color combination is perfect and would look stunning with any matching Summer time outfit.

You can purchase the Diane von Furstenberg “Vanity” Ankle Tie Sandals at Shop Bop for $350.
