Must-Have: The Perfect Purse

Are you looking for the perfect purse? Marc by Marc Jacobs made a purse so perfect that they literally named it the “perfect purse.” When I first saw this purse, it seemed very similar to the classic quilted Chanel that I know and love so much. This particular purse is a black crossbody shoulder bag with allover logo embossing and a gold chain shoulder strap. It features a flap closure with a turnlock clasp. On the inside, you will find Marc by Marc Jacobs signature lips patterned fabric. This is not a huge bag but a nice size to fit everything that you truly need – ID, phone, wallet, lip gloss, etc. The perfect purse to grab on the go & wear with almost anything!

You can purchase this bag online at Nordstrom for $258.

Must-Have: Graduation Gift for 2010, part two

Earlier I posted about the Juicy Couture Key Fob that was perfect for the graduating class of 2010. Today I discovered a new must have graduation gift. Victoria’s Secret PINK has introduced a new t-shirt designed specifically for college students who are graduating this year and about to enter the “real world”. This shirt is adorable and will definitely get you noticed. Starting tomorrow, you can get your limited edition graduation tee for only $10 with any PINK purchase. Get them before they are gone!

Hopefully we will be seeing more graduation apparel & gifts from Victoria’s Secret PINK in the near future!

Must-Have: Graduation Gift for 2010

Graduation is just around the corner which means that now is the time to start looking for the perfect graduation gift. For a more stylish option, I always turn to Juicy Couture. Unfortunately, this year was a major disappointment compared with the diverse selection they presented last year. Luckily, their new 2010 Class Ring Key Fob is absolutely adorable. Juicy Couture does a fabulous job at mixing signature Juicy symbols such as the Juicy heart charm as well as the cut-out heart while also incorporating the traditional class ring. I love that they chose to make the class ring hot pink, which in the past has been a lighter shade of pink, in order to really make this key fob pop. This is the perfect gift for your 2010 high school or college grad!

You can purchase the 2010 Class Ring Key Fob online for $48. They also have the 2010 Class Ring Necklace for $48 and Graduation Photo Album which is on sale for $37.

Must-Have: The Basic Tee

aeshirtEveryone needs this basic tee in their closet!

A basic tee is one of the few things that will never go out of style. I love this v-neck shirt from American Eagle. It looks nice with any pair of jeans. It is also the perfect shirt to wear under the Free People High Waisted Skirt I told you about earlier.

This t-shirt comes in 10 different colors and costs only $15.50 (2 or more for $12.50).

You can order it online here!

Must-Have: Free People High Waisted Skirt

fpskirtThis skirt is a must-have for anyone!

This skirt can easily be dressed up or down in order to create your desired look. Throw on a jacket, layer necklaces or add a belt to change up the outfit from day to day. This really is a great skirt to have in your closet. The typical two-toned dresses have been very popular this season but with this skirt, you can make it appear as if you are wearing a two-tone dress while also allowing you the versatility to change it up. The “dress” does not always have to be black and white like seen in the picture on the left. Instead you can wear this skirt with a white shirt one day and a vibrant printed shirt the next day. Truly a must-have. And for only $28, who can resist?

You can order this skirt today at FreePeople.com.

Must-Have: Free People Bronte Lace Top

fpbrontelacetopBlack lace is a popular trend this season. In Free People’s July 2009 catalog, I fell in love with this long sleeve lace top. In the catalog, they proved that this lace top could be worn in more ways than one. Wear it over a simple tank top with jeans or wear it under an old dress to give it a whole new look. This top also comes in ivory, soft pink, sage and hot berry.
