UGG...LEE!!!!

It all started when I was at a street market in NYC and I saw this AMAZING t-shirt that so perfectly described how I felt. I found it absolutely hilarious!!! Visit his site - he is a great artist :) TOM SHARP DESIGNS

 I have always hated UGG boots - hence I never bought a pair. I never understood why someone would want to wear these oversized boots to make their feet look like a gianormous yetti... Similarity??? I think soooo DING DING DING!!!

 Doesn't matter if they make them in my favorite colors or in blinged out versions by Jimmy Choo - I still refuse to buy them! I have to say that in NYC, people either hate them and refuse to be associated (as I) or they ABSOLUTELY love them and will wear them anywhere, with anything and they stilllll think it looks hot/cute/trendy or wtv definition they have for it!

 

Now I get it - they are warm but it kills me to see people walking around with these dinged up dirty UGGS that look like they've been through a world war - cause lets face it....Suede doesn't last longer than the day you own it... ESPECIALLY if you are wearing them in snow with all the salt to damage your poor boot (not that I care for them)

Now for the first time in my entire life I have visited the site and found some hideous relatives of the UGG boot - o sheesh - take a look...Now I admit they are staying on target with trends - bright colors, animal prints, florals, color blocking, fringed, fur - but woahhhhh why do you need an UGG in the SPRING???? This is ridiculous...

Please visit LELA LUXE's page to hear her rant and rave about the UGGS...it was hilarious!!!

J'ADORE DIOR!!! SPRING 2011 FAVE PIECES!!!

J'adore DIOR! Wow Mr Dior you never fail to amaze me - The beautiful ladies said "SHOW ME MORE COLOR!!!!" and OH boy did you work it for Spring 2011! Don't be afraid to go beyond the TOP 3 COLORS this Spring! From sunshine yellow, to candy pink, lime greens, blue skies and yummy mauves all smooshed together to create a seductive bowl of candy - AKA the Ladies!
Now that we got my color outburst/obsession out of the way - we can get down to business.

Key trends for Spring 2011

• Tie Dye Effect (Yes its backkkkkk)
• Crotchet effect/knots (referring back to the nautical trend which re-appears  EVERY spring and also creates a Peek-a-boo effect)
• Bright eyeshadows
• No more matchy matchy - Mr Dior is mix'n'matchin colors that don't necessarily match but they accent eachother!
• Ankle detailing on sandals/wedges (whether it is feathers or a lace up and bow)
• Draping effects (to hide some body bulge :D hehe)
• Ruffles (yayyyyy feminism)
• Above knee length dresses or long maxi dresses - NO INBETWEENS
• Halter necklines and MANY variations of it
• Fringes(Fringe bangs or fringe detailing on garments)
• Skinny belts
• Colorful handbags

The fun about fashion these days is that there is no right or wrong way to dress especially with all the trends emerging. If you are not sure how to strut your style then keep your wardrobe simple and accessorize by adding a flirty colorful bag or a pair of sexy sandals. Just remember that even though something is in style...doesn`t necessarily mean you should be wearing it.. AKA trapper hats!!


Have fun this spring and if you need some help then just ask :D

These are just my favorite pieces - so if you want to see the whole collection then please visit HERE!

3 HOTTEST CANDY COLORS for Spring 2011!!!

Bright, sexy, Ooooo so yummy colors - I can just eat these colors upppp! OH-SO-YUMMY BUBBLE GUM PINK, REFRESHING OCEAN TURQ and ORANGE FRENZY! This Spring, color is SOOOOOO important because you can play with styling and cuts, whether fitted or loose or cute, ruffly, with feathers or even fringe - you're good to go as long as you have them in these CANDY COLORS!

A really strong Trend with these CANDY colors is color blocking - whether its done by pairing a cropped top in lime green and a bubble gum pink fitted skirt as Leona Lewis did on the left or done as the Prada bag right next to it!

Having fun with color is easy! If you don't want to accentuate your body in a full on colored dress as Versace did on the left then you can easily add an accessory like a cute turquoise clutch or a fringed stiletto by Louboutin (or a wedge like the one from Messeca to go for comfort :D)

Orange was always a difficult color for me but I am LOVING the way it is played out here! Feathered stilettos by Mr Dior and a color blocked bag by Marc Jacobs and your a jetsetter for the Spring!

SPRING 2011 is WEDGE CRAZY!!!

I am in LOVE with wedges and have been wearing them whether they were in or out but YAY this spring/summer they are REALLLYYYY hot and they are coming out with these amazing designs!!!
We now have so much choice in shape, size, styling, color and even price!!! I love them!!!! The best part is that they are ULTRA sexy and ULTRA comfy!!! Doesn't get better than that!
Now I know its still early to be thinking spring but guess what - there is NO snow in NYC so as soon as the weather warms up a little you bet I will bring out my WEDGES!!!! And so will the rest of NYC!!! I am sooooo excited!!! See some hot and crazy wedges below...

Wow - every shape and color and they are oh so yummy!!!! Except for the brown moccasin one lol - this is hideous and refers back to my FRINGE trend that went wrong or the SNOWTIRE, MOCCASIN, CONSTRUCTION BOOTY that I hated on! My faves are the Pierre Hardy pink and orange wedges....mmmm I want them soooo bad but they are a weee bit pricey for me :(

You will also notice that color blocking is REALLY hot this spring - but I will do another page on that soon... Love the metallic wedge by RODARTE...and MESSECA has done a great job by keeping it simple with a splash of color... There is a wedge out there for you...just need to find it :

[Sassy Minx] "TRENDS I HATE" - Snow tires, moccasins and construction boots = NO!!

[Sassy Minx]Yes, you couldn't believe it when you saw it, it was like your worst nightmare...you woke up screaming, sweating, feeling like you were almost pushed over the edge... Then reality hit and it was like a BAD dream come true - the snow tire, moccasin, construction booty IS BACK!!!! AHHHH! WHAT IS THIS GARBAGE TREND? Its like trying to cook a recipe of disaster! Mixing and matching things that JUST DON'T WORK!


I understand you love to be comfortable and you could probably trek across the entire country in these suckers but GOSH why would you want to look like shit doing it?
Sorry to all those ladies that are cringing and hating on the "Trend I hate" right now but please do yourself a favor...throw them away... These were hot in the 90's and God obviously forgot to forbid them to come back...

THE THREE F'S - Fringe, Fur and Feathers!

Yes the final F word has been revealed and you cringed a little when you saw it - but before you turn away and reject it - just have a look at the fringes below...They are sexy, gorgeous and make you want to rock them! The accessories, the dresses and gotta love the BANGS! (Maybe because that is my hairstyle haha) I absolutely love Versace's take on fringes, definitely made something known for hideous cowboy propaganda and elvis jackets into a seductive sexy detail on a dress!
Just to remind everybody of how hideous a fringe COULD BE - I've included some images below - hehe....yummy isn't it????
It seems to be easy to do fringe the wrong way - but the designers that were capable of making it WOW should get an applause...I'm so jaded by the ugly fringe that I would have never thought to design something that even involved a fringe...but talent is talent and congrats to them! AND BOOOOOO for those who tried and failed! Better luck next time! If they are still in business....
