Manolo Blahnik Zala Leather Boots

Filed under: Shoes

Manolo Blahnik's Zala Boots ($1243) combine the ruggedness of a shearling boot with the sexy silhouette of high-heels resulting in a striking yet balanced look. The Zala adds a casual yet upscale touch to your outfit, and even more so with exposed white stitching. However, I think they would exude a polished and flushed look with similar color stitching instead.

Designed in dark brown leather and accented with a fold over creamy sheepskin liner and leather tie, the Zala Boot offers warmth and style wrapped in a chic pair of heels. Heel measurements: 4".

Miu Miu Leopard-Print Shearling Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Miu Miu Shearling Clutch
I usually like Miu Miu but I have to be honest: this Leopard-Print Shearling Clutch looks like something a cartoon woman like Wilma Flintstone would carry. It does look fun though, so maybe with the right outfit it wouldn't be so clownish. The bag is all soft leopard-print shearling on the outside except for the leather-covered frame opening. It closes via the two round pom pon clasps on the top and has a black leather lined interior with no pockets but a detachable matching leopard-print shearling coin purse instead. Love it or hate it? $850

16 Fabulous Fall Finds from J. Crew

Filed under: Apparel, Handbags, Jewelry, Timepieces / Watches, Shoes


While I can't speak for the entire Luxist team, I have a pretty good feeling that we all love the fashion offered at J. Crew. They offer well made and long lasting basics mixed with bold statement pieces presented in such a way that you'll wear them forever. Both my husband and I have sweaters and pants that we've purchased over 4 years ago and given their timeless appeal, we're still wearing them today.

J Crew's lookbook and catalog showcase trendsetting and super fashionable ensembles, but I thoroughly enjoy putting my own personal twist to what I wear and the clothing at J. Crew allows me to do just that. After a long hot and at times unbearable summer scorcher, fall's arrival is a welcomed change. It feels relaxing to be at a comfortable body temperature and have a cool breeze pass through the air. Your daily attire can have more depth and substance rather than succumbing to heat and wearing a tank top, shorts and flip flops.

Jimmy Choo Sylvia Shearling Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


The Sylvia Handbag ($2595) by Jimmy Choo is so soft and plush that part of me wishes it could be a pillow. It looks unbelievable warm and cozy and it feels so gentle against your skin. But being that it's a bag and not a pillow, I suppose those qualities don't matter too much.

It's made with ultra soft suede shearling with leather and gold accents on either side. The body of the bag hugs the handle, making for a cozy and close carry while on your shoulder and providing easy access when throwing things in your bag. Measurements: 37cm L x 43cm H x 22cm W. The Sylvia is also available in black, but camel really brings out the shape, details and accents beautifully

Burberry Prorsum Aviator Shearling Boot

Filed under: Shoes

Burberry has infused a rocker edge with feminine sex appeal in their Aviator Shearling Boots ($1395). Everything that Burberry Prorsum presented for their Autumn/Winter 2010 line has been lust worthy. We love everything but had to feature their boots – they are so gorgeous.

Fashioned in cracked leather and accented with gold buckles along the vamp to the top of the boots, they are lined with a cozy curly shearling that will surely keep your feet extremely warm. The Avaitors have a 5 inch heel and a gripped army sole that would complement any pair of skinny jeans, oversized sweater and a pair of bold earrings ensemble.

Maison Martin Margiela Line 11 Sleeve Frame Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Maison Martin Margiela Line 11 Sleeve Frame ClutchThe Maison Martin Margiela Line 11 Sleeve Frame Clutch is one of the more unexpected handbags we've seen in awhile.

"I could get a shammy from an auto parts store, turn it inside out and sew it up and have the same thing," commented my fiance as he looked at the item. "And it would be a lot cheaper."

I admit I had to use Google to find out what a "shammy" was, and when I replied that the shammy didn't really seem to look like this, he countered with "well, what if I just turn your old pair of Uggs inside-out?"

Hmm. Well, 1. I don't think anyone would want to do that; those are well-worn Uggs. 2. He has a point. Uggs are a lot less expensive than this purse.

This 8" x 14" x 5" frame clutch is shearling, like Uggs. It has a kisslock closure and a fabric-lined interior with a leather trimmed zipper pocket. While this clutch offers a unique texture and is a perfect match for your shearling-trimmed coat ... we just ... we're flabbergasted by this purse. I mean ... come on. You could get a zero-emissions G-Bike for the same price.

The Maison Martin Margiela Line 11 Sleeve Frame Clutch is available from Barneys for $1,115.
