New Discoveries: Pixie Market!!!!

So, I was surfing the net, looking for a Richard Ruiz tunic and low and behold I discovered a fresh, new website: Pixie Market http://www.pixiemarket.com/. It reminds me a lot of Le Train Bleu in that it offers eclectic, underground designers, with a definite eye for all things fashion! Think glam chic or urban outfitters with a spin!!!! Kinda grundge, kinda vintage, all fashion forward!!! Pixie Market also has two retail outlets, one in NYC and the other in L.A. I will definitely be checking out the L.A. post when I am in town! Some of the designers featured include: Robert Ruiz(see recent blog), By Zoe, Maria Bonita Extra( Brazil's finest) and many more! It's definitely worth checking out, not to mention the great sale they have going on as we speak or blog!!!! I just love new discoveries...Don't you?

Ruffle Your Feathers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As summer comes to a close, it's time to start thinking transition...With that said, a must have for your fall wardrobe is something with a ruffle detail. Whether it be a blouse, skirt, or dress. Ruffles are definitely a hot commodity this fall. The details are feminine, with a hint of edge! And they are coming in such an array of colors and styles, which makes for a perfect piece to take you right into September!!!! Check out the styles here that I found at Shopbop.com and Anthropologie.com. Shopbop actually has a lot of their ruffled styles on SALE right now, as we speak!!!! So, go ahead and do something fabulous for your wardrobe!!!! Add a little ruffle!!!!

My Wish List!!!! A Girl's Right to Dream...

I'm craving Gucci today!!!! At the top of my list... The Tapestry Hobo bag from the Hysteria Collection!!!! The bag is gorgeous and so artistically done! In addition to the ethnic inspired, tapestry design, the bag also comes in 6 other styles including Python!!! Wowsers!!!! At $1295, the bag is a small fortune and it will probably forever remain on my "Wish List", but take note...Tapestry is definitely going to be hot for Fall '08!!!!!

Be inspired!
