Ew: Gucci Tribeca Bag

Thanksgiving is coming up, and I’m adding “Gucci’s ugly bags” to my list of things to be thankful for; one less thing on my wish list! They did some cute bags this season, but wtf is this?

hipster1I am not interested in paying $1395 to give off the impression that I am a poorly dressed hipster.

The collection to benefit UNICEF (with style icon Rihanna as their model) is much cuter.

Label Love: J.Crew’s embellished jackets & cardigans

Has anyone else noticed how cute J.Crew’s holiday collection is? Like my style icon Serena, I love anything embellished with sequins, metallics, etc. Here are my top picks from the holiday gift catalog.

Dream Simone cardigan, $158. Also in gray/silver:

Astrid jacket, $425.Metallic Astrid Jacket, $375. I like the flower.

Merino Lili Tuxedo cardigan, $118.

Translucent pailette cardigan, $148. I’m not SUPER wild about it, but I love anything with sequins.

Bow-necklace cardigan, $79.99-$188.

Want it, need it, love it: Marc by Marc Jacobs Cosmos print dress

The dress and I have met casually a few times in Saks, but we haven’t been properly introduced. I NEED THIS DRESS. I can already tell it will fit perfectly just like the Dita dress. I think it’s a bad idea to buy it now at full price. I hope I’m not making a mistake. Just look at it! :)

It even comes in a pretty coral color.

The Best of Nine West

I’ve given Nine West a hard time lately – between the trench coat mix-up in New York Magazine and their Louis Vuitton knockoff, but the truth is that I own a lot of Nine West flats and they have some really great shoes this season. It’s my go-to store for affordable shoes for work. The very attractive salesman at the store on Madison who hopefully is straight has nothing to do with it. Honest. Plus, they use a lot of Nine West on Gossip Girl. Here are my favorite Nine West shoes this season:

These are ferosh and also come in a crazy intense red.

These come in gray and black, too – very cute.

I love anything with a cap toe because it reminds me of Chanel.

These also come in black and purple. I like them for day or night.

These are my favorite, especially with a classic LBD.

I don’t think I would buy a Nine West bag though. I’m too much of a bag snob. Baby steps…
