Handbag Deal: Juicy Couture Bowler Bag
2007-11-27 20:21:00
Juicy Couture has made a lot of strides as of late. Before if I heard the brand’s name or saw it plastered across a velour-clad behind, I’d just roll my eyes, but this year they’ve made me reconsider. I like that cute red double-breasted coat that got everyone talking, and I think this ...

Project Runway Comes to Steve & Barry?s
2007-11-26 20:29:00
I did the unthinkable this Thanksgiving weekend: I missed Project Runway . I was busy traveling across the country and indulging in family fun, what do you want from me? I will of course catch it when they rerun it a million times this week–it’s all TiVo-ed up and ready to go. I did find out that ...

Denim Deal: Tory Burch Jeans
2007-11-15 18:46:00
I know Tory Burch is a little overexposed right now, but I’m still a fan.  I love the clean lines and subtle “cute” quality to her clothes.  You know, they’re just cute enough, without going too overboard for my tastes.  That brings me to these jeans, which are on sale at Bloomingdales for $105 (old ...

Bag Deal: Steven by Steve Madden Leather Satchel
2007-11-06 19:57:00
This handbag is super cute and totally functional, a dynamic duo if you ask me. I like the pockets and the thick hand strap. That soft leather makes it look like a fancy duffle bag, which is a trend that is on the horizon. It’s a good everyday bag, and I think it would ...

New Site: Savvy Circle Has It?s Eye on this J.Crew Jacket
2007-11-05 23:53:00
I’m the queen of waiting for sales because there’s nothing I hate more than buying something only to find out that its price got a lot nicer after I dished out real dough. So, I often wait for price reductions, but it’s a tough task to keep up with all the sales, and sometimes real ...

The Worst ?Sexy? Celebrity Halloween Costumes
2007-10-31 19:36:00
Just because they’re celebrities doesn’t mean they have good Halloween Costume ideas. In fact, these are some of the worst I’ve seen. Really, the whole over-the-top-sexy costume is so tired and especially on celebs (that means you, Dennis Rodman). Hello! Don’t they get enough attention already?
