B DEALish

SALE ALERT! Rebecca Minkoff started her online sale today and you don't want to miss out. I've already snagged myself this little guy in orange.

If you haven't lost your Rebecca Minkoff virginity yet, this is the time to do so! Warning: its a slippery slope. Once you buy one.. you just can't stop! (Also, the site has been moving slow so be patient-- the wait is worth it)

B my BFF

I went through a phase when I was young where I was really into Warner Bros. You would never get that impression now but I do remember having a Tasmanian devil necklace where I wore "best" and my BFF wore "friends". Whether it was cartoon themed for just rainbows and hearts we all had something that linked us to our BFF. Rebecca Minkoff is one I would love to call my BFF. Her bags are beginning to create their own section in my closet and thanks to a Mother's Day promotion I got to receive these special Best Friends pouches! Its adorable and the perfect accessory and the best way to stay tied to your best.

B Dyed

We've come a long way from the seventies days of head to toe tie dye and parties where you created your own shirts. But just like the rest of fashion, tie dye is making a come back.

The Olsen twins have made quite the child star comeback from singing along videos to their newest endeavor, Elizabeth and James. Elizabeth and James, named after their parents, has created amazing pieces that have great tailoring and draped fit. They take classic pieces but have a spin. In a down time during work I spotted their Overdyed Drape Back Jersey Tee and my obsesesion with tie dye was ignited.

When looking for tie pieces stick to classic shapes. This is a trend that you don't want to over due or you'll look dated. Some great pieces are coming from Rebecca Minkoff and Tory Burch. Tory Burch whole new collection is focused on blue tie dye. Both of these designers are staying true to sticking to one trend though Minkoff can't resist a few studs here and there but who can blame her?

B Craving

While the fashion world is focusing on Fall 2010 at fashion weeks, the rest of us are anticipating spring. Retailers are receving spring shipments and I am beginning my list of spring must haves:

Nude Shoes
 Perfect for dresses, skirts, denim and shorts. Everything associated with spring will go with nude shoes. A little extra pick me up about nude shoes is that they'll make your legs look longer!

 

Clockwise from Top Right: Jimmy Choo, Elizabeth and James, Tory Burch, Chloe (all on Nordstrom.com) 

Statement Necklaces

Making their way over from fall, switch up this trend with brighter colors and lots of metallics! 

 

Clockwise from Top Right: Amanda Pearl, Noir Jewelry, Sachin + Babi, Adia Kibur (all on shopbop.com)

Crossbody Clutches
Every spring outfit needs a pop of color and crossbody clutches are perfect. I am in love with the hobo international turquoise color!

B Sparkling

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Halloween is over and gone with and already this morning both Anthropologie and Nordstrom have announced free shipping throughout the holiday season. Along with free shipping comes my favorite part, holiday look books! If looking through the glossy pages of your favorite retailers decked out with glitz and glamour of the holiday season doesn't get you excited then I don't know who you are. My favorite look book so far and definitely not my last is Henri Bendel! The glorified New York City department store debuted their holiday look book online today and showed everything I may want for my holiday festivities.

I never collected snow globes as a child but if I was introduced to Henri Bendel's snow globe at an early age I am sure it would've been something I'd be asking for. How can you not love snow and a signature brown and white striped bag? The look book was dripped in nothing less of sparkles and was full stocked with all this holiday's must haves. Also featured in the look book, a new Rebecca Minkoff clutch I saw on Luna Boston just last week and raised the standards for my holiday party clutch for 2009. The talented designer was lucky to have two handbags featured on the Henri Bendel lookbook.  If Fall was waiting for Vogue's September Issue, Winter was waiting for Bendel's holiday look book!
