Handbag ~ Pick of the Day: Studs Add a Rocker Glam Edge to Clutch Handbags

Infuse a little rock glam into your look with a studded clutch handbag. This trend combines black leather of various textures with stud details for added embellishment with an edge. We are loving the various applications of chrome and even black on black studs.The “Moto” clutch from Botkier resembles a mini biker jacket translated into a clutch with its zippers, studs and flyaway tasseled zipper pulls. The Kettle peace clutch sends a summer of love vibe with a peace sign onto an envelope design with zipper closure.

Taking studs to the max, Sonia Rykiel covers one entire side of her clutch with circular studs and tops it off with a tassel zipper pull. The Burberry studded plates clutch is a bit more subtle with an elongated zip clutch touting black on black studs for a more subtle translation of this handbag trend. The Treesje London clutch combines shiny patent leather and touts a cool graphic edge with randomly placed round flat studs. Pair any of these studded clutches with a pair of destroyed skinny jeans, loose oversized tee and cage sandals for cutting edge look. Or to dress up your evening look, a LBD would complement a black leather studded clutch as well. July 10th, 2009 /

D.S Pick of the Day: Rene Caovilla Plisse Chiffon Platform

These Rene Caovilla Plisse Chiffon Platforms really have my yearning for an evening event that I would be forced to buy them to wear at. So feminine, delicate but full of details and edge, these are evening shoes not to be missed. The ruffling and cute velvet bow up the “must have” factor in my book, and the contrast between nude and black is always and win-win.

Paired with a black cocktail dress, these shoes will definitely stand out, and get noticed. I love the flute shape of the heel, and it really adds to the overall image of the shoe. The peep-toe is very unique, in that it is in a v-shape. The lines of this heel are elegant, but definitely add a unique aspect to the shoe. The nude is almost a pink-ish tone which I really love, and complements the black beautifully. There are many fabrics in this one heel, but they all work phenomenally together. The only thing I wish is that there was no ankle strap, but I can deal with that, and it kind of adds to the more old school glamour of these platforms. Black cocktail dress is all you need, jewelry at a minimum and you are party-ready to dance the night away.

Black & Brown London Chelsea Wide-Link Belt

Why not venture to the world of other accessories today? Recently I have been indulging in a belt fetish. When I say indulging, I mean gawking over them but not actually buying and new ones. I have stolen a gorgeous belt from my mom though, which she is not happy about. It is funny how trends come in and out. This belt is from the 70’s she said, but it is completely chic and I love it. If you happen to have figured out how to turn on the computer mom, I’m sorry but I will not be returning your belt. On the search for a perfect big belt, I have my eye set on the Black & Brown London Chelsea Wide-Link Belt which is an oversized grained brown leather belt that shows off basket-weaving to create the dimension and shape. I am not sure what you all will think of it, but I love the look of a huge chunky belt with the perfect pair of jeans and a cute top. Finished off with a squared antiqued brass buckle, this belt may be huge and over the top, but I’d love to rock it out. Don’t even fool yourself though, this belt is not cheap. Buy it through eLuxury for $248.

Christian Dior Gladiator Sandals

Kim Kardashian seen leaving a nail salon in Hollywood, with the famous sandals Christian Dior Extreme Gladiator Sandals. The same on that SJP had on in the movie Sex in the City worn in black and brown. Are they hot or what? I think I may need a pair too. The handbag Kim Kardashian is carrying is Chloe Shleby Shopper, seen her carrying Fashion Week in NY. Kim's dress is from Jay Godfrey Flowers Petal Tiered Slip Dress. What do you think of the shoes?

the studded belt...

Kim K. is wearing a similar studded belt as the one SJP wore in Sex in the City Movie. It's such a HOT belt. Kim's belt is from Streets Ahead, the studds on Kim's belt is gold not silver. SJP belt is a vintage, so you won't be able to find another one. I've been looking forever for the exact same belt that SJP wore. I did go onto Streets Ahead website and the belt is $145, pretty reasonable. If you seen Sex in the City movie, you probably seend Carry Bradshaw wear the belt with several outfits. The belt gives this vintage and edgy look, I've been looking for a similar belt since i saw SJP wore it. I love the belt.

Monica Rose Blog: Monica's Summer Style Guide

I wanted to post some affordable summer must haves so I chose to revolve this look around a leopard print byCORPUS dress from Urban Outfitters because it is fun and flirty. I decided to layer it with a vintage denim cropped jacket to give it more of that effortless SoCal vibe. When it came to accessories I picked a great vintage inspired gold chain necklace that I loved and would be a great investment piece for any wardrobe. This amazing chunky menswear watch by Freelook is one of my favorites because I love oversized watches, especially the ones that look like they were borrowed from your dad!

I thought a vintage inspired purse with a long strap added a casual chic element to the outfit. This Rough Justice "Niki" wedge is my favorite because I LOVE all the buckles! These Forever 21 glasses remind me of a pair of Raybans I have that I wear with almost everything. The rings add a bit edge to your girly look and I decided to go with a yellow polish this week to pop color into the overall look.
