Hot Pink

By now it may be fairly obvious, but bland tones and “safe” colors aren’t making the cut. From celebrities to New York City’s socialites, brights are definitely the way to go. With new neon-retro 80’s colors streamlining through everyone’s collections from Diane von Furstenberg to Rachel Pally and Christian Louboutin, designers are creating flashy but fabulous attire to suit the inner pink lover in everyone. Wearing them out at first might be a little tough since we’re all so used to our black-on-black routine…but you can ease in with Essie nail color in Short Shorts or even with Marc by Marc Jacobs clutch..then you can move on to some fabulous Louboutins.

Fun Finds

For most of us, $3000 handbags are dreams..not realities. As a young, fabulous, and broke shopper myself, I’ve found little ways to keep up with ever-changing New York City trends without breaking the bank (too much) especially in this oh-so-questionable market! Here are some great discoveries I’ve made recently. Be sure to check in for new secret swaps as I try to keep us all fashionably up-to-date and with extra cash in our pockets.
