Designer Clothing - Blinging in the New Year

Are you still looking for that special Holiday or New Year's Eve party dress? I want something really chic and sexy this year for New Years Eve, the biggest party of the year as far as I'm concerned. Here is the designer dress that I've come up with. What do you think? Do you like my pick?

The dress I've chosen is this Gold Sequined Mini Dress by Jovani. This dress is really me. It's short and super sexy, and that's how I like them, and it's both classy and chic. It's got lots style and sex appeal. It's deep V-neck could easily show off the best of necklaces but I also love it without any neck jewelry at all and besides, why shift the focal point from your best assets. Any fashionista will know that when wearing anything with shine or sequins, keep the accessories simple.

Some will not like the Empire waist but heck this silhouette is flattering for figures lacking in the natural curvature department or in the case of pear shapes wishing to disguise the stomach area, especially after all that Christmas indulgence! The higher empire waist also shifts the emphasis higher onto the bust and there's nothing wrong with that, is there!

It will also make this Sally look much taller than she really is, not that I'm short mind you. But even at 5'8" this chick likes to look taller than she is. I also love the dress' loose skirt which seductively skims the body and with its mini length, this makes this dress just perfect for dancing the last night of 2007 away.

I've got the large, gold gypsy earrings, and don't they just suit the look, so all I need really for that sleek sexy look is a pair of glittering gold stilettos or heels. Oh how I love fashion shopping. After a year of indulgence mind you, my cc is just about maxed out to the limit so this dress and the shoes will be the last things I buy in 2007, I promise :)

BTW, I found this designer dress by Jovani at eDressMe, New York. It's priced at $500 and is perfect for blinging in the New Year however the really sad news is that other than size 6 which is available for immediate shipping, this Jovani dress will only start to ship on January 20, 2008! Back to the drawing board :(

Designer Fashion Fix

Wall Street is closed and Bush has 'pardoned' May, the National Thanksgiving Turkey, and the alternate, Flower, who caught a first-class United Airlines jet to Disney World, and so your main thoughts might well be on getting stuck into your own Thanksgiving turkey but are you also ready for another Friday Designer Fashion Fix?

If so then as well as all the many other Thanksgiving Holiday Sales that are out there aiming to grab your attention, this 30% OFF by Daszign.com on select designer clothing and designer handbags will definitely be of interest.

On offer at this great online fashion boutique is a collection of designer clothing by Yoana Baraschi and Ella Moss as well as the gorgeous ZG by Grimaldi collection and once again, a line of designer handbags and accessories by Linea Pelle.

Priced at $260.40 after the 30% discount, the Yoana Baraschi designed Isadora Evening Dress in Rose as shown in the picture, top left, is definitely beautiful and chic. It's black floral embroidery with lace certainly adds a classy touch to the silk sheath. This designer dress makes for a great evening or cocktail function but I think it would look great at any special occasion.

I also like this fun, short and flirty New Michael Mini Dress in Black in the ZG by Grimaldi designer clothing collection. Featuring an open back and an empire waist, this short mini dress would look super sexy and easily accessorized with just about any colored heels. Priced at $121.80 after the 30% discount, it's my favorite pick in this Friday Designer Fashion Fix clothing collection.

From the designer handbags and accessory collection by Linea Pelle, how can any fashionista go past the gorgeous Gillian Satchel in Nut shown in the picture here on the left.

I also love the way its feature solid brass chain, added simply for looks, just hangs off to the side and contrasts magically against the Nut colored soft leather.

Priced at $357 after the 30% discount, I think that the Gillian Satchell is a must look. It's no wonder that Linea Palle designer handbags are a favorite among young Hollywood, and have often been seen in the arms of major celebs such as Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, and Lindsay Lohan.

Possé New York Designer Handbags Sale

Posse NYC design and manufacture a line of sassy and chic designer handbags including totes, satchels, clutch purses and evening handbags made of exotic leathers like lambskin and goatskin and in a gorgeous range of colors including Mocha, Cognac and Salmon.

Some of my favorites from the Spring/Summer 07, Evening 07 and Fall 2007 Posse NYC designer collections include the cute Carolina bag (pictured top left), the perfect day-to-night carry-all Catalina Clutch with its pleated sides that give this classy designer handbag a vintage charm (pictured top right), and the sassy Natalie Envelope Clutch shown below.

Posse handbags are available at upscale boutiques nationwide but also available for purchase at Posse NYC's online boutique where you'll currently find the Posse NYC Spring/Summer 07 designer handbag collection on sale with discounts of around 30% on retail prices.

All of the bags in the Spring/Summer 07 designer handbag collection are made of Shrunken lamb and while this collection includes the Catalina Bag on sale at $175, it doesn't include the Natalie Envelope Clutch design found in differing colors priced at $295 in the Evening 07 designer collection and at $285 in Fall 2007 designer collection. Thus this sassy clutch made of Lizard embossed Italian lambskin and having an interior leopard lining, isn't on sale at Posse NYC.

However, if you're like me and really like this designer handbag, I have found it on sale at 30% discount at the online fashion boutique Daszign in Chocolate and Mocha, priced at $285 or $199.50 after the 30% discount. To get this price, use promo code SWEETTHIRTY at checkout, but do hurry on this one as this is a one day only offer which expires at midnight, on Friday November 16, 2007. You can also use this promo code to get 30% off on their stock of designer clothing by Walter, Deener and Hope & Glorie.

My Christmas Wish List (Well one of them)

In a few weeks time I'll be returning home to New York to be with my family for Christmas. I haven't been home in over 8 months and if it wasn't for the odd video call via MSN, I'd probably have forgotten what my family look like such has been my hectic schedule this year. 

This Christmas should be a special occasion since the whole family will be together at my parents house for the first time in decades. Now the fact everyone will be together (and trust me, we'll need quite a few turkey's this year or at least one the size of a cow), that will be the biggest present enough. But just on the off chance that any one is wondering what to get to put in my Christmas stocking, I've come up with a few suggestions from the excellent Fire & Ice Art Glass collections.

Now don't feel compelled to buy me all of the following, just one or two will suffice ;)
I've listed my top 10 items just to make it easier for you.

This year I've decided to let my Irish roots show through and I'm going for a "green theme".
(You can click on the images and each will open up the web page from Fire & Ice with the full description and how you can order it, not that I am trying to make it easier for you in buying my present(s) this year).

(1) My first choice are these gorgeous Roman Glass & Prehnite Earrings.	An ancient Roman glass bead and a faceted prehnite hang from silver chains, and silver tubes top off the pair. Prehnite and Roman glass earrings with sterling silver posts and backs.
Delicate Roman glass, with a frosted appearance, serenely glows in contrast to the icy cool variegated sterling silver surface. Four organic disks, centered with Roman glass, are connected together by sterling links. An organic and distressed-looking toggle clasp completes the piece.	(2) My second choice is this Roman Glass Round Bracelet which doesn't look too heavy to be distracting.
(3) My third choice is the Roman Glass & Amethyst Cross. I struggled as to whether to make this my number one choice mainly because each cross is uniquely designed, in that no two items are every the same making this a very individual gift.	This cross necklace makes a personal statement. Deep purple amethyst and iridescent 2000-year-old Roman glass are set in sterling silver and dotted with tiny pearls. The pendant hangs from a silver snake chain and features a toggle clasp.
Ablaze with inner light and color, an oval of created blue opal sits above a larger created blue opal, separated by silver beadwork. An 18" sterling silver chain passes through a curved bar, acting as a bezel.	(4) Now I am switching my attention to the Native American selections and here I really adore the Blue Created Opal Necklace.
(5) If I were to wear (4), then I would have to have these Created Blue Opal Oval Dangle Earrings to match. These actually remind me of a pair of earrings that my grandmother had and I hadn't thought of those in 16 years !!	Oval pools of created blue opal sparkle and shine, hand-set in lustrous sterling silver and emphasized by six silver beads below the stone.
Marvel at how this conventional shape could hold such passionate color. In these immaculate heart dangle earrings, granulated silver beads and lime green and silver-filled art glass beads dangle from a streamlined French hook.	(6) These unusual Green Art Glass Heart Dangle Earrings have to be seen close up to appreciate the beauty and although they are down at (6),they do rank as one of my favourites.
(7) I chose these Purple Art Glass Round Dangle Earrings mainly down to the "Christmas" feel and these would be the ones I would wear on Christmas day.	Like the luminous moon, these full-bodied earrings are as ravishing as they are simple in design. A shimmering bead of mystic mauve rests between the textured radiance of gold filigree beads. Sweeping French hooks add grace and elegance to these lovely dangles.
An elegant bale of luscious yellow gold cascades in a glistening rush of lovely bezel-set diamonds to a dazzling drop of sunny, olive-green peridot. The stone's radiant color and gracious cut are lavishly accented by the brilliant tone of its 14K yellow gold setting and fiery diamonds. A gold chain adds quiet grace to this ravishing pendant.	(8) This Peridot Pear Necklace is the first of the gold jewellery I've selected in my list.  As much as I love silver, gold is the color that best compliments my skin tone (which after spending far too much time in London is fast approaching silver in color due to the lack of any sun it appears).
(9) Now if I am to wear the Peridot Pear Necklace, what better to accompany them but the 14K Peridot Pear Dangle Earrings. I even have the perfect party frock in mind to wear that will let both pieces stand out, but that means that you will have to buy two items from the list.	Elegant grace and ravishing beauty come together in this exquisite design. Three fiery, bezel-set diamonds cascade down to a glistening teardrop of dazzling green peridot. The glorious teardrop rests within a classic prong setting. Gleaming 14K yellow gold and dazzling diamonds accentuate the dramatic shape of this radiant stone. Gentle European hooks complete these graceful dangles.
Diamond-studded circles decorate your ears. These drop earrings begin with two circles of 18K white gold set all around with sparkling diamonds. The top circle is attached to the earrings' posts; the other swings freely below. Behind and between the white gold circles is a circle of 18K yellow gold, also filled with glittering diamonds. Dangling below the circles are long pendulums of diamond-studded 18K white gold. Absolutely magnificent!	(10) Now despite these 18KWY White & Yellow Diamond Circles Drop Earrings appearing last on my list, they are my favourite item beyond all doubt.  Unfortunately, I would need to attract a very rich boy friend between now and Christmas in order to find these in my stocking on Christmas day, (and at $2,450.00 now you know why they are sadly at the bottom of the list).

Now not that I want to panic anyone, but there can't be more than 35 shopping days to Christmas, and if you are going to be ordering any goods online, we will need to get our skates on to ensure our deliveries arrive on time.

Now I don't really expect 'anything' for Christmas because I've never been pretentious enough to do so. All I ask for every year is the love from my family and friends.  But if you are searching for that special gift for your love one(s) this year, then head on over to Fire&Ice and you'll spend hours looking through the so many beautiful and exquisite pieces of jewellery, just be sure to allow enough of those 35 days for delivery!!

Junk Food Sample Sale

Unhealthy food with poor nutritional value at sample sale prices anyone? And I'm not talking about your average junk food here. I'm talking about food which contains the highest levels of fat, sugar, salt and numerous food additives including monosodium glutamate and tartrazine.

Of course I'm only joking. When it comes to fashion, Junk Food is an influential fashion brand of casual lifestyle clothing with a loyal celebrity following so much so that the brand has now become one of Hollywood's hottest brands. One of my fave Junk Food tees is the Little Miss Sunshine T-Shirt seen in the picture here being worn by Britney Spears.
