I can’t quite put my finger on the exact reason I like these sandals. Maybe it’s because I am fascinated with the maze of black leather all over the place? Or that I can’t imagine how many hours it must have taken to make a single shoe? Or maybe it’s because they’re just different. I guess it’s all of the above! When it comes down to it, these sandals are an excellent way to spice up any outfit, especially your go-to Little Black Dress!

Herve Leger is allllll about the bandage-style dresses. I really do mean “alllll”, ’cause that’s all this designer makes! Everything with the “Herve Leger” name on it has that signature stuck-to-your-body-like-a-bandaid look, hence the “bandage” name! Now before you write this designer off because he “makes tight dresses”, I’d give him a chance first, because these dresses really are flattering even if you’re not a size zero! Seriously! Somehow they manage to bring out the best curves and hide the ones you don’t like. And no, I don’t know how that’s possible. I just know it’s true. So I’ll call it magic.

A good chunk of the footwear we feature on here happen to be heels. There’s no particular reason for that, other than there is an abundance of great heels out there! Well, we’ve got a pair of flats for you today. Missoni flats! What could be better?! They come in that colorful, zigzag design that is Missoni’s signature. What a fun way to wear a pair of flats, right? It’s all topped off with a round toe and tiny little bow! Love these!

Here’s a peasant blouse from Marc by Marc Jacobs at Piperlime.com. The main point of interest is the allover bohemian paisley print. Splashes of green against a navy and purple background make for an interesting pattern – a nice change from your all-too-normal solid! The bohemian-feeling pattern coupled with the loose blousey fit make this a little reminiscent of the 60′s and 70′s without looking like you’re on your way to Woodstock. Just to be safe, I’d avoid wearing super bell-bottom pants!! Try some skinny jeans to update your look instead. Funny how putting skinny jeans and a peasant blouse together is like combining the 70′s and 80′s. I guess the 2000′s are not as original as we’d like to think! Anyway, check out some more info below.

92% Wool, 8% Silk
Scoop neck
Buttoned key hole closure

These long gloves by Salvatore Ferragamo are incredibly luxurious and soft! I mean, long leather gloves just scream luxury to me. When you tell me they’re made by the one and only Salvatore Ferragamo, I’m totally won over. The criss-cross details ending in a bow on the side of each glove are the cherry on top of an already perfect winter accessory. Certainly no one needs long leather gloves with pretty details by Ferragamo, but that’s what makes them so luxurious!

Available in sizes 7 & 8.

The original price was $886.60, but they are marked down to $443.30.

I know, I know – you’re probably thinking, “Another black dress, how boring can this girl be?!” But just hear me out for a minute. This black tank dress by Vivienne Westwood is not your average LBD though. It’s more on the casual side, which will allow you to wear it as often as you want. The material is that naturally wrinkled type, so this will be the one piece you can get away with leaving on the floor for a day or two! (Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing). The square neckline has some ruffles, as do the patch pockets at the hips.

Here are the rest of the details:

Drawstring tie at the center neckline
V-back with ruffled edging
Zipper closure at back
Elasticized waist
100% Polyester
Hand wash cold
Made in Italy

Sizes: 4 – 8

Originally $902, this dress is now on sale for $394. Free shipping with Zappos.com!

If I owned this Givenchy handbag, it would be the one I would stick with throughout ALL seasons. The brown leather is the most versatile of all the handbag colors and can be used all throughout the year. Oh yeah, and it’s “only” made by Givenchy, the designer that dressed Audrey Hepburn, and that would have nothing to do with my love for this bag — yeah, right! This baby’s got it all, from a big outer pocket to buckle closures to the shoulder straps that will fit over your arm like they were made for made for it (well, they kinda were…). I’d say there’s nothing else to know about a great handbag, but I’m sure you want the details, so check out some more info below.

Magnetic closure
External pocket

As you can probably tell, I’ve been obsessed with Giuseppe Zanotti footwear these days. But there is a method to my madness! And that is because he makes awesome shoes of course! Seriously though, they’re leather, they’re Italian, they’re on top of the latest fashion – how can you NOT love anything labeled “Giuseppe Zanotti”!?

Moving along…

These gladiator sandals are in fact labeled with the aforementioned Giuseppe Zanotti name, therefore they rock. Automatically. This cannot be said of every designer that we feature on here, but there are a select few! These feature chunky brass buckles, thick leather straps across the foot, and a hip ankle strap. Here are some more details:

Leather upper
Triple buckle closure
Engraved stud at the back
Leather lining
Leather sole
Made in Italy
3/8″ heel

Sizes: 6.5, 7, 8.5, 10 **see below for more sizes

These sandals are on sale at Zappos.com for $291. Free shipping!

NOTE: These sandals are also available at Endless.com in sizes 8 & 11 for $237.98. The lucky size 8′s and 11′s can get a 25% discount at Endless.com for a limited time, which will bring the price down to $178.49 – a ridiculous deal!

Ok, now I’m overdoing it with the trench coats, I know. But I’ve always been on a mission to find the best trench coats out there and this one really hits the jackpot, so I couldn’t resist posting.

First of all, the color is quite possibly the most perfect camel colored trench coat I’ve ever seen. I’m all for the khaki or stone colored trenches, but this beats them all for me. There is a slight sheen to the fabric (this is probably the same thing that makes it water resistant). Second, the fit is slim – and slimming! You can’t go wrong there. Third, this has all the good features that make the trench coat a classic. See below for more details!

Strapped cuffs
Two pockets
Back yoke
Self belt
One internal pocket
Double breasted button closure

The only thing that *might* be missing is a slit in the back. But I’m not going to get all technical about that here because the rest of the coat is picture perfect!

Sizes: 2, 4, 10

This is currently on sale at Yoox.com for $540.

Disclaimer: I do not approve of the way this blouse is worn in the picture. This is the direct result of bad taste and bad fashion and should not be repeated by anyone, ever.

Whew, got that out of the way! Forget the whole model-is-wearing-bra-as-shirt thing. Let’s focus on the important things. Like the little pleats at the shoulders, and the diagonal shadow stripes, and the button closure off on the side. Or how about the slight billow in the arms and the flirty hem? This is good stuff, people!!! Best of all, the diagonal stripes and long torso will make you look slim and slender, just the way you like it! Choose from a taupe-ish/grey and maroon.

Grey: 4 & 6
Maroon: 6 & 8

The original price was $1070, but it’s on sale at Yoox.com for $870 now. Not a huge discount, but definitely noteworthy.

This dress from See by Chloe is such a cool mixture of casual and not-so-casual! Check it out… not-so-casual is kinda obvious (I think) because it’s a dress and dresses are usually kind of dressy! Then there’s the shiny satin material that is so silky smooth you won’t be able to stop touching it. Casual elements include the front zippered pockets, slouchy fit, and some cool grommet details at the neckline. Pair this with some leggings and flats and you’ve got casual in a snap. Pull out your heels and some stockings and you’re ready to go out and party. Gotta love the versatility on this one!

I noticed that the slim-fit Burberry trench that I posted the other day is already out of stock. I felt bad about that since it was gone so soon after I posted, so I went searching and found this one by Thakoon! It features frayed slashes, a notched collar, and an inverted back pleat. As always with Thakoon, you get something a little bit different than the norm. See below for more details!

I love this clutch. And I’ll tell you why. It’s not because of it’s slim and sleek design. It’s not because it comes in four spectacular colors. And it’s not because there’s a fashionable little silver chain which allows you to wrap this around your wrist, making it much easier to hold onto. Don’t get me wrong – those are all key in making this clutch something I want to carry around all night. But the reason above all reasons why I love this clutch is….

….because it’s shiny.

And yes, that IS a good enough reason to buy something, at least it is in my book! Besides, this one’s got all those other great qualities, too.

This Calvin Klein dress is a little Victoria Beckham meets Audry Hepburn. Maybe my eyes are being tricked into thinking that because this model is super skinny and has brown hair? Or maybe I have been watching too much American Idol with Victoria Beckham as guest judge? Whatever the reason, there’s no denying that this is a stylish dress! The silk gives the midnight blue a tiny bit of sheen. I love how the slanted pockets kinda come out of the ruching at the waist. Elbow length sleeves really make this dress stand out, especially since it’s difficult to find anything that’s not strapless or sleeveless lately!
