Black & Blue

I’ve always loved the combination of black and blue.  So I decided to put together an outfit based on my blog’s unique design.  Like all great outfits nowadays, this look is a great mixture of high and low designers.  I know I should really be modeling these outfits like the rest of the fashion blogger community, but in light of cash flow issues keeping me away from these breathtaking cobalt blue Jimmy Choo pumps, I’ll have to settle for the next best thing.  As a socialite on a budget, putting together outfits and pinning wanted items on Pinterest is very therapeutic for me.  I get almost as much satisfaction from pinning the stuff that I want as I do actually making purchases.  Here’s how to get this glam black and blue look:

1.  MARC Faceted Round Blue Ring: Silver jewelry goes perfectly with this look.  I wouldn’t even try to wear gold with this color scheme.  This cocktail ring is bound to sparkle.

2.  Holy Harlot Cobalt Rex Earrings: These unique featherlike earring were pretty much made to be worn with this outfit.

3.  Jimmy Choo Cosmic Suede Pump: Obsessed with these!!  I would also put these with a little black dress for the cobalt blue to really pop.  These Jimmy Choos are by far my favorite aspect of this look.

4.  Dorothy Perkins Black/Cobalt Slash Neck Dress: Lately, I’ve become a huge of of Dorothy Perkins’ affordable dress designs.

5.  Rimmel London HD Union Jack Eyeshadow: As a blue-eyed girl, I’m a huge fan of the smokey eye.  For those on a budget or who have spent too much on Jimmy Choos, Rimmel makes great moderately-price makeup.

6.  Rebecca Minkoff Romeo Satchel: Since so many of the accessories in this look are loud and colorful, I chose to go with a simple black bag.

To UGG or Not to UGG? That is the Question

November is upon us making it officially winter coat and boot weather.  Though socialites may be able to buy an endless supply of stylishly warm boots to be worn over leggings and skinny jeans, no amount of privilege can keep you away from the winter winds.  But, when it comes to staying warm and stylish during this time of year, every fashionista must ask themselves this same age old or should I say New Age question: Are UGGs hot or not? Though the brand has evolved from the Classic Tall and Short, to dressier styles such as the Highkoo II that I currently have my eye on, UGG will always possess the elements of casual luxury.  I am also in the market for a warm pair of moccasins.

Though some say that UGGs have gone out of style, I completely disagree.  However, I am bias having graduated from Syracuse University where UGGs allowed me to keep my toes from frostbite during the bitterly cold, yet beautiful white winters, I believe that feelings warm and snug will always be in style.  Plus, every UGG boot you see plays homage to their early adopters iconic socialites, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie.  As a result of UGG’s recent collaboration with Jimmy Choo, now you can have the best of both words.  Tamara Mellon, Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Jimmy Choo revealed that the only shoes she has in her wardrobe besides Jimmy Choos are UGGs.  This genius collaboration is the ultimate combination of comfort and glitz.  So go ahead, UGG it out.
