Fall 2012 Fashion & Accessories Preview

I was invited by BWR PR to check out their Fall 2012 Fashion & Accessories Preview to see where the trends are heading with brands like Ted Baker, Stella & Dot, ShoeDazzle, and La Mer Collections. The showrooms were set up to showcase the best of fall fashions, so I want to share with you some of my favorite looks from the Preview:

 La Mer Collections creates these gorgeous wraparound bracelet watches that not only serve a functional purpose, but make a beautiful fashion statement.  The timepieces add rich textures and colors to add to any jewelry wardrobe and they are the perfect Fall accessory.  Shop their collection here.

 It's no secret that I am a fan of Ted Baker's whimsical print dresses.  I picked up this dress at the Shop N' Style event in May, so you know I was excited to see the dress below with a fun holiday light pattern.  I think I know what I am wearing this Christmas.  Shop the Ted Baker here. (The have an amazing sale happening right now, so go and shop!)

 ShoeDazzle has done an incredible job delivering on trend shoes for a less-than-designer price.  I know you have all coveted the glittery Louboutins for the Fall and Holiday season, but the price is comparable to your mortgage.  Well, it's time to join ShoeDazzle and scoop up affordable, but sexy shoes for $39.95. Shop ShoeDazzle here. (They currently have a Buy 1, Get 1 Free Sale happening, so don't wait....shop now!)

 Finally, Jacqueline Nerguizian Jewelry might have been my greatest find at the Fall Preview.  I am always looking for sophisticated and elegant looks for the red carpet and Jacqueline's work definitely delivers.  The fluidity in the lines of her jewelry (Look at that serpent ring in the background. Stunning!) embraces a femininity that is perfect for any woman looking to have that focal piece to complete an outfit.  You do not want to miss this collection, take a look at Jacqueline's site here. (I am already thinking, Oscar jewelry?) 

I will be featuring my new Stella & Dot cuff tomorrow, but if you missed my feature on Low Luv by Erin Wasson, click here to see my new obsession to my jewelry wardrobe.  I haven't taken that piece off!

What is your favorite look for Fall?  Let me know if the comments below, on Facebook, or Twitter.

It's Time For A Giveaway!

It's been awhile since I have done a giveaway, so let's dust off the gifting closet and find something fun.  This month's giveaway is a pair of sparkly silver Summer Jasmines, "the comfortable, compactable evening and pedicure shoes that fit in your purse!"  Consider these shoes the multi-purpose sandal to throw in your big, slouchy bag when you are walking all over the city, grab a pedicure, and then need a reprieve at the end of the night when your Louboutins (or a fabulous pair of knock-offs) are dragging you down.

So, I am going to do a spectacular giveaway with these shoes and by the way, they retail for $98. Shazam! That's a good giveaway. They are Silver, they are Size 7 (They run big, so I would say it is closer to a Size 8), they come complete with sparkles, and it includes a black satin carrying case PLUS a cute red Summer Jasmine key chain.  Does this sound like a good deal or what?

Here's how to enter:

1. Follow me on Facebook, Twitter, or Bloglovin'.

2.  Leave me a comment letting me know where you follow me and be sure to leave your contact information.

Rules:   18+ to enter, US residents only, Enter by 11:59 PM on Friday, March 18th.

Winner will be selected by Random.org and announced on Monday, March 21st.

Good luck, everyone!

This giveaway is featured on Blog Giveaway Directory.  Be sure to visit them for the most comprehensive list of blog contests and giveaways happening each week.

March 21, 2011:  The winner is announced!

Off With Her Head

I'm tired, kids.  Tired of the shenanigans of those Hollywood starlets who offer nothing but the same tabloid fodder year after year.  Now, don't get me wrong, I still read my Hollywood gossip, but I don't need to hear about the following people anymore........or ever:  Lindsay, Britney, Paris, Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, or Miley. I just don't care.  What I do care about is finding out what one of our little troubled tarts was wearing for her 590348530958th court appearance.  So, I say, "Off with her head, let's get right to the fashion!"

While I don't care for her antics, I sure do like her outfit.  Here's where I stand so far:

Jacket:  ??

Skirt:  ??

Shirt:  ??

Shoes:  Christian Louboutin

Yep, all I can name is the shoes because I can see the red soles peeking out.  Can anyone help here?  I will find a prize from the Red Carpet Closet to anyone that can help me assemble this outfit.  I'm not looking for knockoffs on this one, I want the read deal.   Ready, set, go!

But wait, there is one more outfit!  I have been asking around about this dress worn by Tina Fey on a recent episode of 30 Rock.  A good friend of mine is looking for this dress and I offered to help. I have reached out to several fashion contacts, but no one has given me a concrete answer yet.  So, perhaps you can help?  I know a lot of my friends, readers, and fellow bloggers are total fashionistas, can you spot the designer on this dress?  Again, a prize from Red Carpet Closet to the person who hooks me up with the correct answer.  

Even if I buy the Lindsay outfit, I promise that you won't see a SCRAM bracelet on my ankle ever.  I wouldn't want to draw focus away from my beloved shoes.  Happy Searching and Thank You from Red Carpet Closet.
