Miu Miu Launches E-Commerce Site
Ladies, get your credit cards ready!
The Italian fashion house Miu Miu has recently launched their e-commerce site. Known for their eclectic and innovative designs against classic silhouettes, Miu Miu consistently creates fashions that make a statement while transcending trends.
Miu Miu's online store features their full collections, online-only exclusives and our personal favorite -- The Fashion Show selection where you can shop looks straight from the runway.
As much as we may love online department stores and luxury e-retailers, let's face it, they don't always have the latest or the widest range of clothing and accessories. The more fashion companies enter the e-commerce race, the better for the consumer. More options equals better selections and deals. Happy shopping!

R13 $300 Sweat Jeans
Comfort is key when getting dressed. That's a no brainer. But many of us, including myself, forgo comfort to somehow squeeze our bodies into a piece that we most certainly know will instill pain.
The pair of sexy jeans that are so tight, you avoid sitting at all costs. Or the "gotta have it" high heels that forces our toes to look like they have taken on another life form. And when you take (insert painful article of clothing or accessory here) off, it feels so good that you swear you'll never put yourself through that again, but knowing that you really will. It's insane what we put ourselves through for the love of fashion.
Wearing Black Never Goes Out of Style
This spring's hottest fashion trends is about showing off your most vibrant and colorful self. Electrifying neon accessories can be found everywhere. And as much as I love all the new trends and translating them into my personal sense of style, you just can't beat the impact of black.
3.1 Phillip Lim Brea Camera Bag, Handbag of the Day
For the photographer and fashionista at heart, the 3.1 Phillip Lim Brea Bag ($575) may just be the perfect bag.
Styled after a traditional camera bag, the Brea maintains all the storage benefits of a camera bag and throws out the rest. Its roomy interior provides more than enough space for your camera and lens. The Brea also features buckled side pockets and a front zippered pocket all beautifully packaged in foliage inspired amber leather accented with a dark brown leather shoulder strap. It can be worn using an adjustable shoulder strap or carried using its leather double handles. The only downfall is the Brea lacks protective padding for your camera. So whie the Brea may not be the most practical choice for your camera, it is very chic. Measurements: 7" x 12" x 6"
Spring Blooms With Cathy Waterman's Colorful Diamond Ring
Spring is taking its precious time to arrive. As I eagerly wait for the weather to warm up beyond 50 degrees and the bright sun to shine, I find myself perusing accessories to brighten up my day. And the artistry behind Cathy Waterman's jewelry always delivers.
Pierre Hardy's High-Heeled Boat Shoes
Pierre Hardy wants women to take preppy chic to a whole new level. While the traditional boat shoe provides comfort and an effortlessly classic flair, Hardy's High-Heeled Boat Shoes ($1109) offers casual sexiness and unique appeal.Styled in black pebbled leather and decorated with contrasting white stitching, brown leather laces, and a golden buckle, these leather heels maintain their classic aura but with a modern update. Hardy's High-Heeled Boat Shoes are just shy of four inches, so you'll get height, but hopefully the rugged rubber sole will counterbalance the pressure on the balls of your feet.
Pair with loose fitting shorts and a linen button down shirt for a casual, yet polished look.

Gold: How to Shine in Style
Gold is a color that exudes opulence and contributes sophistication to an outfit. Whether its packaged through jewelry, a handbag or a piece of clothing, a touch of gold can instill elegance without being ostentatious.
As with any prominent color or print, to maximize its impact and make a fashionable yet classic statement, less is more. Otherwise, an abundance of gold can easily cross the line over to Vegas showgirl.
Lanvin Happy Pop Clutch, Handbag of the Day
Seventies chic is alive and well. For the past few seasons, we've been seeing traces of the 70's with a modern interpretation in the runway collections of Chloe and Louis Vuitton. For those who like the look but don't want to invest in a whole new wardrobe or outfit, Lanvin's sleek and sexy Happy Pop Clutch ($1290) is the way to go.Reminiscent of the chic '70s, Lanvin's rust orange clutch is simply adorned with quilted detailing adding an air of understated elegance. With a detachable metal and leather shoulder strap, the Happy Pop Clutch works double duty as a ladylike shoulder bag. The interior is lined with jacquard fabric and features a zippered and organizational pocket. Dimensions: 5" x 9.5" x 2" with a 18" shoulder strap drop.

Maison Martin Margiela Wooden Wallets
Maison Martin Margiela never fails to surprise us. The always risk-taking fashion house keeps us guessing with what they'll produce next by creating unique and unconventional pieces.As part of their Spring/Summer 2011 Collection, a set of Wooden Wallets ($425) caught our attention. Made from solid wood with a lacquer finish, the grains are emphasized beautifully. The interior is leather with three credit card slots, three compartments and an elastic to secure your cash. Available in dark and light wood.

Prada Saffiano Camouflage Tote
Camouflage is a trendy print. Sometimes it works and other times it fails miserably. However, on the Prada Saffiano Tote ($2495), camouflage adds a strong visual interest against a very simple oversized tote, that it works well. And with such a strong print, the Saffiano Tote doesn't need any adornments and neither would your outfit. To really maximize on Saffiano's adventurous print, wear a pared down outfit such as jeans, a crisp white or black well-fitted button down shirt and a pair of brightly hued pumps to balance the tote's eye catching effects.The Saffiano Tote has a large interior and would be ideal for work or as an overnight bag. Additional features include a double top handles, detachable shoulder strap, and an interior pocket. Dimensions: 15 3/4"W x 9 1/2"H x 9 3/4"D.
