Check out my fave pieces from Kenneth Cole's new line.:

The big news this week in accessories is that Kenneth Cole is launching an entirely new line. It’s more fashion forward (and thus, more expensive) but it’s pretty darn nice. And it’s more than just shoes.

Cole played with texture for the Fall 2012 collection, using pony, leather, snake and more in rich colors. It’s definitely a line I’m going to be keeping my eyes on.

There are few things I love more than accessories. A great shoe, bag, or necklace can pull your entire look together. And if you’re like me right now, you’re staring at your winter wardrobe wondering how to quickly update it for the balmy weather. Easy. Buy new shoes.

I combed through pages and pages of shoes to find the 40 best heels, wedges, sandals, pumps, oxfords, and flats all in stores now. It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it.

Laura Mercier adds a new foundation--rejoice!:

I’ve been a big fan of Laura Mercier’s Tinted Moisturizer for years. It’s just about perfect. Except sometimes you want a little more coverage—without looking like you’re wearing makeup. The brand has just launched the lightweight Oil Free Suprême Foundation (out in April) that comes in the variety of shades you expect from LM.

I'm obsessed with Van Astyn bags.

Mon, 12 Mar 2012 21:46:00 -0400

I'm obsessed with Van Astyn bags.:

I like a clean, understated bag that isn’t too over the top for my day-to-day looks. But with so many chains, tassels, and logos adorning most, it’s almost impossible to find the right purse. Meet Van Astyn, your new favorite line. The leather is pure butter, the quality is beyond, and the price points are friendly. Bags run under $1,500. Go to FashionEtc.com to see more!
