HAPPY SUMMER!

Second Chances

Designer consignment shops have long since been a great place to score amazing deals and unique finds.

A Second Time Around is highly recommended as a place to find designer labels at fractions of their retail price, all in next-to-new condition. What's even better is that they are almost always having a sale, even further discounting the already amazing prices.

Did I mention the staff is great too?

Click here for location listings.

Decades two.1 is also fast-becoming a favorite online destination to browse their incredible inventory.

An amazing resource for high-end designer finds, this online boutique updates their inventory regularly and features an Under $300 section  with out of this world deals on items from Christian Louboutin, YSL,  and Missoni just to name a few (...really it's incredible!)

A few of my picks here:

Balenciaga Wedge Boots

Oscar de la Renta Strapless Dress

Missoni Tunic

Chanel One-Shouldered Dress

Nicholas Kirkwood Booties

 

YSL Patent Leather Wallet

After all, don't gorgeous clothes (and shoes...and accessories...) deserve a good home too?

DVF Resort 2012 Collection

Tropical.Sunny.Bliss.

Just a few of the words that come mind when viewing the DVF Resort 2012 collection. The bright hues when paired with sensible neutrals keep the looks fresh, current and chic, rather than ready for an 80's revival, making these surf-inspired looks perfect for both the beach and the street.

The beautiful draping and fresh prints one would come to expect from DVF also do not disappoint.

A few of my favorite looks below:

Fall Previews

Summer hasn't even officially begun, but with many of the Fall/Winter collections now hitting stores and sites,  it's hard not to have all things autumnal already on the brain!

Sneak previews of many of the Fall 2011 ad campaigns have also been released, and I am loving  the emphasis on rich, stormy hues and luscious texture...
