Designer Duds for Less

On yesterday's post I featured a red Celine Clutch from The Real Real, If you are not familiar with The Real Real it is a luxury consignment shop filled with pieces from designers like Celine, Chanel and Cartier, which have all been authenticated. If you love shoes and bags as much as I do you know that they often come with a pretty hefty price tag. Sites like The Real Real give you a chance to own a designer piece for a fraction of their original price, and yesterday's clutch is such a great example the price of the clutch originally was probably in the $1100 range, on The Real Real yesterday it was priced at $495 and now today it is $396. A bag like this is a classic and at $396 a great purchase from a great designer, but before you do make a purchase from a site like this really read the description carefully, and really look at all of the photos before you commit, often the items are final sale so make sure you know what you are buying before checking out!

These are a few pieces that I have in my Obsess file on The Real Real

Cartier Astro Love Ring

Hermes Togo Waist Bag

Chanel Coco Twin Small Flap Bag

Hermes Leather Link Bracelet

Balenciaga Motorcross Envelope Clutch

Rock Your Body

I rocked the bodysuit like no ones business in the 90's. A crushed velvet high neck bodysuit a motorcycle jacket and a  pair of vintage Levi's was my uniform of choice, and when summer came and we left NYC for the Hamptons my uniform switched to a Harley Davidson bodysuit my trusty Levi's, and probably red lips, hot right??
Well I'm so back on the bodysuit trend right now, but it is definitely one of those trends that you don't need to spend a fortune on.

Here are my top picks under $50

What do you think of the bodysuit trend??

Strap On

I've been in such a rut lately and really lacking any kind of  inspiration, but these interchangeable bag straps from Fendi and Valentino are beautifully brilliant! These gorgeous embroidered guitar style straps from Valentino or the great selection of straps from Fendi are sold separately and instantly update the look and style of a bag, I am so obsessed with them, and yes they are a fortune and they are as much as a bag but they are gorgeous no?
I am also in love with these incredible bags from The Styleliner, whose straps are equally as gorgeous and come with the bag

Help....

Ok, I need your help, what do you all think about Crop tops?
I am loving them but tell me do you age out of a style like this?
Am I too old to wear a crop top, because I still feel, well I was going to say 25 but no, I still feel 35ish...Not 44.
Could I still pull it off?
Help, because they are so darn cute, right? But, would I have to wear something so high waisted on the bottom to hide my belly roll? I can just picture it, sitting down to dinner in my crop top trying to tuck my belly roll into the top of my pants, so it doesn't hang over, now that does not sound cute.
What do you guys think, it is a pass???
In the meantime here are a few that I have had my eye on, and for all of you that plan on rocking this look I'm kinda jealous....

Sisterly Advice

My Palisades living younger sister and I don't always see eye to eye with our style choices, but she is so on point with these Jenni Kayne mules and she has me majorly obsessed! I will be living in them I'm sure!

#LiveinLevis

I truly live in my Levi's and people are always asking me where all of my Levi's shorts have come from. Most of mine come from Ebay, I have a few that I've held onto since the 90's, and then a few from Shop Redone, but if you don't want to go through the trouble of searching Ebay or shell it out for a pair of Redone's then you can find a great selection right here at Zappos!! Embellished, patched, black, white, bermudas, even a pair with the exposed button fly, you can find them all on Zappos.
