Bag Of The Week: The Matt & Nat Santogold Bag

I can't decide what I love most about this bag: the trendy zipper details, the convenient interchangeable straps, or the fact that it's totally affordable! Since I've been working on my holiday wish list, I've totally got my eye on the Santogold Bag by Matt & Nat. Its pebbled texture and exposed zippers give it an edgy feel while the pleating details give it a "naughty but nice" sort of vibe. Plus, it's the perfect size for tucking under your arm, and with its interchangeable straps, it's got the versatility of a clutch, shoulder bag, and cross-body all in one! Oh, and did I mention it's totally green, too? Made from glazed PVC with a pocketed interior lining made from recycled plastic bottles, you won't be feeling any guilt from Mother Nature.. or your bank statement!


What: the Santogold Bag by Matt & Nat
Price: $185
Where to Buy: Shopbop

Victoria Beckham To Start A Modeling Agency?

We definitely think Posh Spice could pull this one off! Victoria Beckham certainly knows enough about fashion and looking good and we're pretty sure her modeling agency would be top of the line! Everyone would be dying to be a part of it. Victoria Beckham would be working on this exciting new modeling agency project with her manager Simon Fuller (you may know Simon Fuller as the creator of American Idol. He was also the manager of the Spice Girls). Clearly, Simon knows what he's doing in the business world and we think Victoria has quite a few business smarts herself. According to a source, "Simon knows that Victoria is very savvy when it comes to fashion. His first foray into fashion was to team up designer Roland Mouret and Victoria, which was a huge success." We're sure Simon loves having Victoria on his side and the source says, "Victoria is a key asset to Simon and he wants her to take on a major role." Simon already owns 50% of London modeling agency Storm Models and wants Victoria to set up something similar in New York. We can't wait to see what Victoria's model agency is all about; we bet all the girls will be absolutely stunning! Check out more info and pics by clicking over to our friends at Limelife!

Hot In The Hive: Lime Crime Makeup Magic Dust

One look at Lime Crime Makeup's webpage -- which looks like a unicorn barfed rainbows and shooting stars all over it -- and you can't help but wonder what sort of happy pills this chick is on. But hey -- as long as this unnaturally sunshine-y outlook produces gorgeous sparkly shades to add to my makeup collection, I can dig it! Lime Crime Magic Dust is a line of highly-pigmented loose powder eyeshadow, similar to MAC's loose pigment (but cheaper!), that comes in 23 different bold, shimmery shades. Dust on lids to wear as shadow, or apply wet for more intense color and use as eyeliner. Despite the tag line, "So bright, it's illegal," I don't think you'll get arrested for having sparkly shadow, but Lime Crime's collection is seriously vibrant if you're looking for bold color!


Price: $12 each

Lemondrop Obsession: Calorie-Burning Shoes From Earth Footwear

Calorie-burning shoes -- no doubt you've seen them around. They always look like orthopedic running shoes or something a nurse would wear to work. That's why I got so excited when I saw Earth Footwear at my local comfy shoe store. Earth shoes are so stylish and come in everything from sandals to boots. I, of course, got boots because we're heading into the winter months. It's not the "negative heel technology" or the anatomic arch support, or even the Biofoam cushion inside that makes me love them (though I love anyone who has come up with so many ways to make my feet feel comfortable). I love they way they look, and shoes are a major obsession of mine, not to mention I'm new to New York City and going to need a good boot for the winter. I feel like these are going to do the trick.

The Holidays Are Here! Help Me Choose The Prettiest Necklace To Wear!

The holidays mean food, fun gifts and lots of parties and mingling with old acquaintances and new. It's the perfect opportunity to dress to impress! But, realistically, I cannot see myself donning a fitted dress or anything that would give away the fact that maybe I snuck back to devour that second piece of pie... ok, third. Instead, a simple outfit would serve as a backdrop to a beautiful statement piece, like a necklace. A unique and gorgeous necklace shows individuality, a sense of fashion and distracts from a belly full of stuffing and sparkling cider. The only problem? There are too many glittering pieces that I would love to own and wear out there! I've narrowed it down to my favorite three, from Anthropologie: the Roped Posies necklace, the Golden Festoon necklace, and the Frayed Diamond necklace. Take the poll below and help me decide which necklace I should have for the holidays!

Looking Slimmer Is A Cinch With The Help Of Our Favorite Shapewear!

So you've had a lot on your plate this past week (ha), but that doesn't mean you need to wear it on your waist (or hips, or thighs...) for the rest of the year! Since many of our favorite fitted winter sweaters and cocktail dresses can be very unforgiving when it comes to revealing every bump or bulge, the latest in shaping lingerie does things for our body that we can really be thankful for! Looking to appear sleeker in that bandage minidress? Look no further than this strapless dress shaper by Julie France that will keep things looking toned without strapping down your chest in the meantime! And if you want to be seamless in that high-waisted pencil skirt and definitely don't have room for panty lines, this shaping thong will give you all the tummy firming you need without the extra fabric. Take a look at the slideshow for the full selection of our favorite miracle-working lingerie for all kinds of trouble spots!

Vintage Fashionistas Love the Prince of Prints

When Emilio Pucci scribbled his signature across his designs, it marked the debut of a designer's name as an external logo. But Pucci wasn't content to just make dresses. His designs included the now famous Braniff International Airlines uniforms, the logo for the Apollo 15 space mission, tableware for Rosenthal, and even the interior of a Ford Lincoln Continental! Now vintage designs by this "Prince of Prints" are legendary and forever popular because they make any girl feel like a "Princess of Prints." Whether its for day or evening, no one rocks bold, brightly colored graphics better than this CFDA award winner and this fabulous little collection of vintage Pucci frocks shows off his genius. They're all perfect finds for vintage fashionistas! Just click the slide show to see the selection.

Add Some Shape With A Tulip Skirt!

A lot of brands and designers have been embracing the curves of women with larger hips, and although I think it's great for fashionable clothing to be available for women of all shapes and sizes, what if you have the opposite problem of hips that are too slender or don't help to define your waistline? Tulip skirts are a great way to add a bit of shape and volume to the hip area, perfect for women who struggle with square or small hips. They also help make the legs look longer, and they have a bit of a princess quality about them. Tulip skirts are pretty and feminine, and can really help create the shape you want if you usually have trouble wearing short skirts. I love this satin pleated tulip skirt from Arden B. -- it comes in several colors, and it's only $44. It even has pockets!
