BLUE CRUSH: VERSACE SPRING 2012 AD

The cold weather is really just starting to emerge on the scene and yet.. here lies Spring 2012 ads. Wait.. can I just enjoy my boots, sweaters and scarves without being forced to focus on Spring looks and Summer trends.. *deep sigh* Mmmm.. I guess not.

Welp.. Versace has released it's Spring 2012 ad. If you follow us on FB and Twitter, you know that I've shared a few of the other campaigns but this is the first that I have chosen to feature on our blog. This campaign was photographed in the California desert by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. The ad is bright, striped and screams Versace. It features supermodel, Gisele, who is looker uber hot to be a mommy of two! Can I look like that after I give birth? #JustSayin

In looking at the campaign, it is reasonable to conclude that Versace will be all about circle studs and gold hardware for Spring. This influence will be displayed on handbags, shoes and apparel. The shoes are still looking very structured in its design detail.. which is just a carryover from last season. What are your thoughts on the campaign? Are you excited about the Versace looks?

GET THE LOOK: BEYONCE

In today's edition of GET THE LOOK.. we are featuring mommy-to-be, Beyonce! She was spotted leaving a NYC nail salon in blue crocodile Christian Louboutin Pigalle pumps and carrying a Burberry Tonal Raffia Bowling Bag.

Burberry has always had nice pieces in their collection but they are really killing the game right now! I, for one, have never been a Burberry stan.. but as of late, I've found myself stalking a few of their pieces. I can truly see an evolution of the brand. While I have a great appreciation for Burberry, whenever I have wondered into their stores, I've always felt like their collection was for the "older" customer. Older as in I'll pass on a purchase for me and cop something for my mom instead. Lol.

Nevertheless, this drool-worthy 'Raffia' bowling bag is priced at $1,395. That's actually not a bad price and doesn't deter my love one bit! This one is getting filed in must-have!

SOLE STRUCK: SENSO

So, of course, being the shoeaholic that I am.. I am always searching for something innovative within a shoe! I came across this wedge by Senso and nearly lost my mind! Owwwww... this shoe is giving me everything all at once! How do I love thee? Let me count the ways..

This is from the Senso Fall 2011 collection and it is called 'DELIJIAH'. The platform is about 5" inches and the platform is 2" inches. It also comes in a pink leopard print. It feels very Betsey Johnson-esque to me.. I'm all about wearing statement shoes but I usually err on the side of caution. That is to say, I don't go crae-crae with it but I'm actually feeling the pink leopard. What are your thoughts?

FABULOUS FRIDAY: ALEXANDER McQUEEN

Happy Friday my lovelies!

Today, I am sprinkling you with a shoe that is dripping swagguuuu. This 5.5" inch wedge from Alexander McQueen is from his Fall 2011 collection. It features a silver metal wedge and is referred to as the 'Armour Wedge'. When it hit the market it was accompanied by a price that read $4,245. Ouch! However, it is now on sale for $2,549. Mmmmm.. and suddenly a $2k shoe seems like a bargain. Never thought I'd see the day..

If you have a few pennies to spare, you can purchase this shoe by clicking here.

ACCESSORY REPORT: BURBERRY SPRING 2012

Well.. we've finally made it to Wednesday. Since it's humpday... I figured that we should start our decline with a sneak peek of the lovely bags and clutches from Burberry's Spring 2012 line. I am soooo in love with the clutches. They are giving me EVERYTHING!!

I'm actually loving the tote's, as well.. but is it just me or does this collection seem rather fall-ish.. The only piece that looks semi-Spring is the 1st clutch. Nevertheless, they are great pieces.. they'll compliment any ensemble in your closet. They'll be landing in your local Sak's stores soon.

GIFT GUIDE: JIMMY CHOO CUP HOLDER

Yes! Yes! You read the title correctly.. Jimmy Choo has released its own brand of coffee sleeves. Say huh? Say what? Oh yes.. for a mere $125, you too can be the owner of a fabulous leather, skin print cup holder. Anyone running out to grab one in hopes of accessorizing their daily Starbuck's drink?

I heard someone say this would be a great stocking stuffer but for the life of me, I just can't see myself spending $125 on a stocking stuffer. In my world, that is a gift.. that is wrapped, taped and topped with a bow! 

Nevertheless, they are available on Net-A-Porter if you want to grab one or two!

SOLE HOT OR SOLE NOT: CAMILLA SKOVGAARD

Happy Monday Shoeholics!

I'm definitely on one this morning.. On cloud 9, that is. Lol. My mom has been here for a few days and I am just feeling so good.. so great! We did our usual girls routine.. shopping-girl talk-shopping-dining-shopping.. you know, the usual!

Nevertheless, I came across this super haute shoe from Camilla Skovgaard's Spring 2012 collection.. I love the bi-color basketweave.. I have a very strong sensation that KEMISTRE will have this similar concept happening for our Spring collection.. Hehe.. Also, I want to point out the tassel detail attached to the zip closure of the shoe.. this is going to be a big trend for 2012! Prepare to see tassels on shoes, handbags and clothing, as well.

But enough about all of that.. you tell me! Sole hot or Sole not?
