disney couture Princess Wrap Bracelet

Sunday, March 28, 2010

Kidada designed a series of wrap leather bracelets for Disney Couture. Each contained different charms for different princesses. The one I loved and finally bought was the general princess one, with charms of feathers, bows, roses, glass slippers, etc. Soo cute!!

The leather isn't white as I initially thought -- more like there's a hint of blue. The gold charms were a nice contrast. I haven't had a chance to wear it out and about yet, but it looks easy enough to wear (unlike the Gara Danielle Heart Rope Bracelet :P). Simply tie the ends into a knot, no need to worry about closing lobster clasps. This is espeically nice because I have small wrists, so I can adjust to fit my needs.
I bought it on sale at ideeli about a month ago for $49, but it's still being sold elsewhere on the web! Boutique to You, 80's Purple, Regencies.com just to name a few.

Carlos by Carlos Santana Trust

Saturday, March 27, 2010

My first pair of high heels (3+ inches) ever are these Carlos by Carlos Santana Trust shoes. (I believe Guess actually came out with something similar a couple years back). What drew me to these shoes were the criss crossing straps and the heart charm -- it's that extra touch of girly-ness that I loved :P

To date, after having owned and worn many pairs of heels, I have to say this pair is by far the most comfortable. Kinda surprising I know, given the height. Sometimes I feel like I can almost run in them!

I also like how the silver isn't one-dimensional. The python-like print gives it a nice texture. I don't know if you can tell from the left image, but the heel is actually a shiny metallic silver. I hardly noticed when I bought the shoes, but over time, I wonder if it's a bit too much. Oh well, nothing I can do about it now.

Denim + cargos

Thursday, March 25, 2010

I love scarves. I probably have 4-5 fashion scarves and one real one that keeps me warm :) Today I paired a denim jacket with cargo pants. Denim on top plus denim on the bottom just seems a bit too much to me, even if they are different shades, hence the khaki-colored bottom. Add in a pop of green in the scarf and my trusty Balenciaga and that completes the outfit!

J.Crew silk bouquet sash

Wednesday, March 24, 2010

Another J.Crew sash post :D This time it's their silk bouquet sash in grey mist. I received it as a Christmas present and haven't had a chance to wear it much until now. Unlike the rosette sash, the straps are pretty thin on this one. It can definitely be worn as a belt around the waist, but I thought it'd be better utilized as a statement necklace.

cardigan: Old Navy
necklace: Banana Republic

The black version is currently on sale right now on jcrew.com for $25!

Coach Poppy Ponytail Scarf

Tuesday, March 23, 2010

I haven't looked twice at Coach products in a long time. It just felt like the brand is going in a different direction than where it's been in the past. Either that or my tastes have evolved as I've grown up :) So I was surprised to find myself lusting after this Coach Poppy Ponytail Scarf this past winter. The color I fell hard for was in red, but when I tried to buy it at the store, I was told it's sold only in Japan! I will admit I kind of felt like I settled when I bought the purple version. But nonetheless, the design is still the same, so it's good enough.
I've only been tying it around my bags to give it a pop of color so far because it's too short to wear as a sash around my waist! D'oh! It's all good though... I'm sure over time I'l figure out many ways to wear it. Such as actually tying it on my ponytail as the name states :P
