HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! I hope that everyone has a fabulous day! I had such a blast this Halloween weekend- I thought that I would share some pictures of my costumes with you all! 

For one night I was the infamous LADY GAGA- I loved this costume, I really think the lightning bolt made the whole look come together.

For our big Halloween party, I was a dead zombie bride. My boyfriend (who is such a good sport) dressed along with me. We had gashes in our clothing and dirt, stitches, and blood everywhere. It was super creepy and scary, but I LOVED it!

Have a fabulous and safe Halloween, fashionistas! xoxo

Ball and Buck Sorority Collection

Ball and Buck is a fantastic company founded in Boston, MA. Ball and Buck is a true American brand that proudly manufactures all of their products in the USA. 

Ball and Buck is firmly against labor exploitation and pays premium prices for labor that they could have gotten cheaper somewhere else; however, this does not put them at a disadvantage at all. The garments that Ball and Buck gets from their manufacturers are not only of the highest quality available on the market, but they also get peace of mind of how their products were produced. 

I have always loved Ball and Buck clothing, but their brand just got SO much better! I am so excited about Ball and Buck's new Kappa line that they just introduced!

I purchased this black v-neck 3/4 length sleeve shirt (seen above) with the fabulous fleur-de-lis Kappa pocket- obsessed! 

Ball and Buck is looking to go national with the Kappa Kappa Gamma line and will expand even more. And although I am of course partial to my Sisters of KKG, Ball and Buck is also planning on branching out to other sororities/fraternities as well! 

Check out the Kappa Kappa Gamma Collection: http://www.ballandbuck.com/kappa/

All items are currently $36-$40 and take 2-3 weeks for delivery. 

Stay Fabulous xoxo

Want it Wednesday!

Well, fashionistas, it doesn't get much better than this! These Christian Louboutin Miss Fast 120 Ankle Boots are perfection and  I WANT THEM!!! 

I love the super high platform on this ankle boot- The heel is 5 and 1/4", with a platform of 1 and 1/2". My favorite part of this heel is the amazing stud detailing- so chic, edgy, and fabulous! The rounded toe and beautiful black leather make these ankle boots a classic. And of course, the stunning signature red leather sole of these heels are the cherry on top of this perfect ankle boot! These ankle boots are available exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue.

Manly Monday!

Hello, fashionistas, and welcome to yet another fabulous Manly Monday! I am overjoyed to have the amazing duo of BLEUDENIM (lesbluejeans.blogspot.com) Nick and Jordan writing this Manly Monday post. I LOVE having fellow bloggers on here to guest blog! So without any further adieu, here are Nick and Jordan!

Over a 60 year period, Richard Avedon became the most influential as well as recognizable fashion photographer in America. His photos scattered the covers of countless issues of Harpers Bazaar and the visions he created have inspired the way fashion is captured and appreciated today.

Recently we were able to spend a night at the MFA to experience Avedon to the fullest. This is the first time since1978 that his work has been brought into such an extensive as well as comprehensive portrayal. From decade to decade, Avedon’s work is displayed with a sense of elegance and beauty, similar to that of his magnificent photos.

Avedon was at once a fashion photographer and an artist who concerned himself entirely with the beauty of the feminine form. He crafted sculptures from the most glamorous stars of the era and then painted them with light.We admired his work even though the art of photography is not something we actively pursue, as our favored art is style. It was an incredible experience that we would recommend to anyone.


Thanks again to Nick and Jordan for guest blogging. Have a fantastic Manly Monday, fashionistas!

Amazing New Tory flats!

As I have mentioned previously, I am obsessed with Tory Burch flats- they are super stylish, practical, and fashionable! (read my previous Tory Burch flat review: Fab-YOU-lous: Tory Burch Reva Flats). I am always on the market for a new pair, and when I saw these I just couldn't resist! These beautiful black and off-white flats are weaved in an amazingly designed straw material.

The logo plate on the toe of the shoe is so amazing! It is different from the normal silver/gold plate that is the signature on Tory Burch flats; instead thrse flats feature a resin design 3-D stamped logo plate! It is black with the raised stamp in silver- I love it! It is so different and chic!

I am obsessed with everything about this shoe! The colors, chic weaved design, and the amazing logo plate all make this shoe a must have! I can't wait to wear mine :)


You can purchase these Tory Burch flats at Neiman Marcus
Retail price: $235

Louis Vuitton Spring 2011 Runway Purses

WOW! That is all I have to see after seeing these fierce designs march down the runway for Louis Vuitton Spring 2011. These bags are beyond wild, colorful, and super fun!

Well done, creative director Marc Jacobs- you have succeeded in adding some youthful spunk into the very classic Louis Vuitton brand! Not that I don't adore the timeless prints of LV, but this collection is so exciting! It has charisma and charm that leaves me wanting more designs like this in the future from LV. 

Louis Vuitton uses a plethora of materials in these designs ranging from beads, glittering stones, metal, suede, the classic LV brown print, and patent leather. 

The designs are artful and bright, steering clear of the classic Louis Vuitton browns and neutrals. Instead, this season LV brought fun, clashing, color-blocked designs to the runway- I can't get enough of this collection, it is so different and unique! Feast your eyes on these fabulous purses, fashionistas- I know you will be just as obsessed!

Fabulous Friday Finds: Under $100

Every fashionista always needs a fool-proof extra little something to pull an outfit together. Well look no further, this is your must-have item! And ringing in at only $58, how can you resist?!

The stunning Nordstrom 10mm Long Strand Bead Necklace will add that extra sparkle and glamour that you are looking for. This dramatically long necklace can be worn single stranded, double stranded, or even triple stranded! This necklace is even more fabulous when layered to create a dynamic set (as shown on the model above- she is wearing 2 strands doubled up). 

I adore this necklace because it is so shiny and elegant. It is especially perfect to throw on to make an easy outfit transition from day-to-night. I would recommend this Fabulous Friday Find to any fashionista who loves a bit of sparkle and pizazz. 

You can purchase this week's Fabulous Friday Find at Nordstrom
Retail Price: $58 per strand
