Flashback Friday

Since it is Friday I thought it would be fun to have a little guessing game. Check out this photo. It is an image of a very well known designer when she was young. Fun fact: when she was a kid she worked as a lifeguard at a country club pool.

Do you have any idea who this is?

Click here to see if your guess is correct.

Celebrity Auction: Zooey Deschanel's Shoes

I love the site Clothes Off Our Back...which is a celebrity clothing auction site. I have yet to bid on anything on there, but it's always a lot of fun to see what they have. Browsing the site today I came across these AMAZING shoes. In honor of the new summer movie 500 Days of Summer (which I can't wait to see by the way!) they are auctioning off Zooey Deschanel's Custom Designed RODO Shoes! These eggplant pumps are fabulous! They are encrusted with purple crystals all over them. Both the shoebox and shoe have a hand-written name of the actress who conceptualized them. So far there is only one bid...and you have until August 11th to get in your bids. The shoes are size 38 Euro. All proceeds from the auction benefit Clothes Off Our Back’s children's charities.

Gilt Fuse To Be Launched

My apologies to everyone on the light posting lately...but I had jury duty and my regular schedule was all messed up. But now I'm back...and I have some GREAT NEWS to share with my readers!

On August 12th the website Gilt Fuse will be launched. Gilt Fuse is the sister site of Gilt Groupe...which we all know and love. What's the difference you ask? Gilt Fuse has items that are more budget friendly. So if you are watching your wallet you might want to check out Gilt Fuse which is going to have items with prices between $75 and $100.

The site will run just like Gilt Groupe...holding sales for 36 hours. Prices will be marked down up to 70% off!

If you are already a Gilt Groupe member you are automatically signed up for Gilt Fuse. If you have yet to check out the amazing deals on Gilt click here to get signed up!

3 Looks

One of my favorite things to wear are tank tops. They are just so versatile! Here we have a Floral Gathered Tank from American Eagle Outfitters (priced at a reasonable $24.50). I pulled together three looks using it: a dressier look for work, one that is more casual for the weekends, and a fun look for a night out on the town. How would you wear this tank?

We're featuring a bright and bold colorblock look sent in by Christie Griffin from NYC (did the cab give her location away???). Christie filled us in about her outfit choice:

I had a party to go to yesterday and I knew I might be photographed, so I chose bright, solid colors. Blocks of color photograph so much better than prints and patterns. Plus, I love the look created by tucking a slim top into an A-line skirt and wearing heels.

Thanks again for sending in your look Christie!!!

Fashion Inspiration---Annie Hall

I thought it would be fun to do another Fashion Inspiration post. Today I wanted to look back to a style icon from one of my favorite movies, Annie Hall. This character really played a role in style as we know it today...bringing the menswear look front and center. I put together some great key pieces that you should really have when trying to make this style work for you.

Pick of the Day

One thing that I love about summer is how simple it is to dress. Throw on a cute sundress and you're ready to go! Take this Pompidou Dress from Mod Cloth for instance (I just love the coral and grey color combination). Throw on this dress and you'll be turning heads.

*Great Deal*

This amazing Nailhead Jacket from Anthropologie is now marked way way down. For only $69.95 (originally priced at $128), this jacket will make a great addition to any wardrobe. What I love is that this isn't only a jacket...the golden hardware detailing around the neck acts as an instant necklace.
