Review: Lux de Ville

In 2003, Lux De Ville had a mission to produce fabulous handbags for fabulous women. Lux De Ville achieved that mission and is one of the most fashion-forward handbag brands today. By combining retro love, a dash of punk rock and a little rock and roll with a lot of quality, Lux De Ville handbags are for the young as well as the young-at-heart.

Lux De Ville makes a plethora of wonderful handbag styles and silhouettes. Lux De Ville proudly offers totes, hobos, clutches, day bags, weekenders and cosmetic cases. With all of Lux De Ville’s designs, there is a sense of individuality, art, and vintage appeal. Lux De Ville adds tattoo inspired designs to their styles, keeping you looking young and chic.

Whether you are going to a rock concert or a luncheon with the ladies, Lux De Ville has the perfect handbag for you. Looking sophisticated with a punk twist is the goal Lux De Ville is proud to have achieved. Lux De Ville will continue to create fun, new handbag styles and designs for the punk girl inside all of us.




I'm a long time admirer of the Lux de Ville handbags. With their anything but ordinary style, it is hard to not fall in love with their collection. The Sin City Motor Tote in Pink Sparkle ($72) and Starlite Wallet - Pink Sparkle ($35) that I received suits my style personality well with their impeccable girly and vibrant style. They are a nice addition to my ever expanding handbag collection. Both have been frequent fliers in my handbag rotation ever since I received them!

The Sin City Motor Tote in Pink Sparkle features an inside zipper pocket to stash all of your must haves, leopard lining, oversized dice charms, a top zipper closure and a front pocket for easy access to all of your goodies. This handbag is roomy for all of my essentials. I adore it! The quality of this handbag is impressive as the style of it. I believe that this pin-up worthy beaut could handle constant wear and tear AND still look good!



Starlite Wallet - Pink Sparkle has several inside card slots, a zipper pocket for change, leopard satin lining and a clear window for flashing your id. It matches the Sin City Motor Tote in Pink Sparkle perfectly, but it also sparkles on its own.

Also Available in Red and Leopard, Red Sparkle, Gold Sparkle and Silver Sparkle

Review: IGIGI



Forget the frumpy, dowdy and run-of-the-mill plus size clothing - IGIGI has a beautiful selection of accessories, plus size dresses, career wear and bridal gowns in sizes 12-32.

I will be wearing the Bella Gown in Sapphire Blue ($189) in my brother's upcoming wedding in August and other special occasions in the future. This dress is stunningly beautiful, and it looks exactly like it does in the pictures - color and details. The style, color and quality combines all of the best features of all of the dresses I have tried before. For me, there is no need for any alterations. However, I will definitely be buying taller heels since the dress is very long for an average person like me. I only stand at 5'3". It doesn't fit me snugly as it does on the model shown in the picture. It is very comfortable! This is the kind of dress that I would love to snag in every color. A dress like this in stores would sell out in no time. I will feel like Cinderella once I find shoes to match it. Now, all I have to do is wait for my Prince Charming. ;)

Review: adornPDX

Created as an alternative to Portland's main stream mall culture, Adorn reflects their urban, street smart aesthetic. Their boutique features hard to find lines; they have an eclectic selection ranging from Kidrobot, Quicksilver Limited, WESC, Cardboard Robot, and Fluxus. Like their customers, their clothing, jewelry and accessories are unique, fun and edgy. They also promote local artists and feature many of their original artwork in their boutique!



LnA was founded in Los Angeles by partners Lauren Alexander and April Leight, both Southern California natives who met in the Hollywood social scene. Known for its colorful, flattering and wearable take on the Mens under tee, LnAs inaugural Spring/Summer 2007 Boyfriend Tee Collection debuted to rave reviews, resulting in much-deserved press and a devoted following of Hollywoods elite. The duos designs are wholly inspired by their lifestyles, sharing an affinity for wearing their boyfriends tees out to LAs hotspots. After bonding over their fashion backgrounds and the idea that his werent fitted to flatter her body, the LnA concept came about.

I received the LNA Women's Side Tail Vee Neck ($69), which is a favorite of Katie Holmes and Kate Moss. It mentions a long sleeve tee on the site, but I received the short sleeve. This is a great thing since I'm more fond of short sleeve tops - even in the Winter! This tee quickly became another favorite staple in my closet. Featuring a longer hem on the sides, this tee is chic and casual with so much versatility. It is also very comfortable! You can wear it alone or don it up with a jacket or cute cardigan.

Tips for Winter Shoe Care from DSW

Winter is a rough season – especially on a brand new pair of shoes! Salty sidewalks can cause stubborn, unwanted white stains, and the snow water can leave shoes oddly shaped if not dried properly. Donna Williams, Buyer for Women’s Seasonal Boots at DSW, offers the below tips for winter shoe care that are sure to come in handy this season.



How to Remove Salt Stains

- Mix two parts water and one part white vinegar and use a paper towel to rub the solution on to a small section of the affected area. Diluted vinegar is gentle enough to be used on leather but tough enough to remove stains.

- Once the area appears clean, immediately use a soft, dry cloth to buff the area.

- This process should be repeated until the entire boot is clean, focusing on small sections of the stained area at a time.

- Allow the boot to air dry for about thirty minutes. After thirty minutes, any missed salt stains should become visible.

How to Prevent Salt Stains

- Polishing your boots with a soft cloth frequently throughout the winter will help protect your boots from everyday salt damage.

How to Properly Dry Wet Shoes

- If your shoes get waterlogged, stuff them with paper towels or an absorbent cloth to maintain shape.

- Let shoes air dry, do not put near heat source

- Do not polish wet shoes

A Whimsical Wonderland with Carol Malony

Fall down your own rabbit hole and immerse yourself in a fantasy world filled with whimsical white rabbits, tempting tea parties and luscious lingerie. Premiering in theatres nationwide this Friday, “Alice” is definitely the new black – whether it is nail polish colors, tea cups, watches or even underwear. Whether your fashion sense is more of a Red Queen or you are as innocent as Alice, check out the decadent designs from lingerie connoisseur Carol Malony and get lost in your own version of a wonderland!

Forget the mishmash style of the Red Queen and hone in on her heart(s)! Carol Malony’s Heartbreaker bra and panty ($58 and $30) gives a sweet alternative to its oddly patterned counterpart. This red and pink combo features perfectly placed heart embellishments, spicing things up without forcing your man to scream “off with your head”.



Wickedly white, don’t let her fool you with her jam tomorrow promise – mimic her serene style instead with Carol Malony’s Twinkle Corset and Panty ($143 and $37). Featuring embellished crystals, boning and frilly tulle, you will definitely want to be seen with or without the looking glass.

Carol Malony is sold at select fine boutiques and select online retailers.
