Feeling Foxy

 

Though I don’t believe in fox hunts or ever wearing actual fur, I’m kind of loving all of the fox motifs I’ve been seeing in fashion lately.  It all started with British designers such as Burberry and Alice Temperley adding foxes into their designs and recently it seems to have trickled over into the showrooms of American designers such as Tory Burch.  No matter who is designing your foxy wears, there’s nothing like a little fox print to have you feeling sly and distinctive.  Here are some of my favorite foxy fashions:

1.  Tory Burch Fox Stud Double Wrap Bracelet:  Wrap bracelets are always adorable, especially when stacked with a statement gold watch.  Stacked jewelry is all the rage right now and a great way to dress up a casual outfit.

2.  Meredith Leigh 14k Gold-Plated Multistone Fox Ring:  I love a good cocktail ring just about as much as I love a good cocktail.  This jeweled fox ring shows tons of attention to detail with the blue eyes and bushy tail.

3.  Burberry Burnished Gold-Tone Fox Bracelet:  This bracelet would be a great addition to the modern classic little black dress and statement necklace combination.

4.  Dorothy Perkins Oatmeal Fox Jumper:  Though this does kind of remind me of something Rachel Berry from Glee would have worn during her high school years, I kind of like it and if a diva like her can pull it off, than so can I.

5.  C. Wonder Fox Stud Earrings:  C. Wonder has by far the best accessories on the market.  If you’re looking for holiday stocking stuffers, this is the place to go.  Like everything else in the store, I want these earrings.

6.  Orla Kiely The Fox of Life Bag:  The neutral colors and subtile fox print of these bag make it wearable with a number of different outfits.

My Special Gift From Burberry

In celebration of Burberry reaching One Million fans on Twitter, they sent out these fabulous virtual gifts to everyone who congratulated them using the hashtag #ThanksaMillion.  My tweet this morning resulted in this lovely personalized animated card that I’m a bit obsessed with.

There’s nothing like a special gift from a major designer to brighten up a gloomy New York Monday.  I guess the British really are polite because I never expected the high and mighty house of Burberry to express their social media gratitude to me and a million others personally.  But, they did.  Maybe next time they’ll thrown in their signature scarf and rain boots, both staples in every New York girl’s wardrobe.

The Burberry Life

Last week, I attended a party with ELLE Magazine at the Burberry store in SoHo. With all these events I’ve been attending, I’m beginning to believe that sipping champagne amongst designer clothes is a full-time hobby within itself.  During the party, my picture along with shots of other Burberry fans, were prominently displayed on a huge screen in the store as part of an Instagr.am competition for the best picture with your favorite Burberry items.

Here are some of my favorite styles currently at the store this holiday:

Best Boots for Fall

This is a total rain-inspired post. After today’s downpour and being attacked this week by fall allergies that hadn’t existed before I moved to the city, I began to detest the new fall season.  Then I remembered how much I’ve been looking forward to wearing boots and leggings around the city and forgot all about the rain or my allergies.  Every socialite knows that when it comes to cold weather style, you can’t just have one pair of boots.  There are different style for different outfits, weather, and sometimes days of the week.  Here are four key styles you need to have one hand as the weather turns from August to Autumn:

1.  Rain Boots: New York is a walking city.  So when the rain is coming down and the streets are inches thick in water, you are going to need a good pair of rain boots to make it home.  I will always have a soft place in my heart for the classic Burberry rain boots.  Not only will they keep your feet and the lower parts of your outfit dry, they are also stylish enough to wear when it’s not raining.

2.  Crazy Boots: Every girl needs a pair of boots in her wardrobe that stand out.  I mean really stand out.  They aren’t a neutral color or an everyday design.  They don’t need to go with everything.  They just need to be fun. Made with original vintage kilim rugs, Kiboots are all one of a kind.

3.  Black Boots: Don’t be afraid to have more than one pair of black boots.  No matter if you prefer wedges, heels, or flats, these are your go-to boots for the season.

4.  Short Booties: Keep your wardrobe diverse by having a variety of tall and short boots.  Booties look great with a dress or skirt.

My 2010 Christmas List

Inspired by my favorite holiday song, Santa Baby, I decided to completely bling out my pint-sized Christmas tree Tiffany’s style. Though my original plan was to have ornaments for all of the excessive luxury items mentioned in the song, I found it impossible to find ornaments depicting the deed to a platinum mine or a duplex.  Trust me, I spent days looking.  However, I am still very happy with how my tree turned out.  So happy in fact, that it moved me to create a Christmas list of my own.  Seeing that things are probably chaotic up in the North Pole due to the plight of global warming, I also included visual aids and links to where the products can be purchased to ensure accuracy and make it easier for the elves.

Dear Santa,

Since I would never do anything to jeopardize my future husband’s political career, I have been a very good girl this year.

Presenting My 2010 Christmas List:

1. iPad + Wi-Fi 3G: A tech diva always has to have to right accessories. They often includes sleek electronics.  Not only does an iPad go with any outfit, but AT&T’s 3G network gives you an automatic connection to Wi-Fi hotspots which is important for a blogger.

2.  Henri Bendel iPad Case: You are not a socialite until your accessories have accessories.  Therefore, it is vital that my iPad with 3G reside in a designer case.

2.  Burberry Rain Boots with Scarf to Match (Haymarket Check): With the impending royal wedding in Spring of 2011, British designers are going to be hot and I need to be prepared.  I have always been a fan of coordinated plaids. I really need this fashionable combination to get me through the rest of the winter.

4.  Coach Madison Clover Print Medium Wallet: Coach leatherwear has always been a signature of mine.  I really need a new wallet and this one is perfect.  Just be sure to include a matching bag of the same print.

5.  Tory Burch Tumbled Leather Reva Ballerina Flats (Every Color): Since my feet can’t seem to stomach heels on an everyday basis I have turned to flats.  Seeing that I am going to get a lot of use out of them, my new flats should be top of the line.  I also need variety because some days I feel like metallics, others are patent leather days, etc.  I also have a lot of outfits that require many different colors.  By the way, I am a size 7.

Merry Christmas!

Love,
