LV Suhali Bag…As Seen On

Thursday, October 20th, 2011

I couldn’t believe when the Suhali bag landed in front of me! Now why would anyone give that up?! I don’t ask my clients questions like that, I just accept it graciously with a smile! The Suhali Le Fabuleux Bag is made from luxurious Suhali leather and complimented with metal studs and hardware, this bag is just A-mazing.

My favorite celebs love this bag as much as I do! It takes a departure from the beloved Monogram Canvas but remains classic and functional. The Suhali Le Fabuleux is not one that will easily be thrown in the back of a closet after one season of wear, it’s simple enough but perfectly adorned that you will choose this bag over and over again, day or night!

Asian-American Fashion Designers

Tuesday, July 26th, 2011

In recent years, we have seen a rise in Asian American Fashion Designers such as Phillip Lim, Alexander Wang (one of my favs), Jason Wu, Doo Ri Chung, Derek Lam, Peter Som, Thakoon and Richard Chai. This brings music to my ears as I love to see the success of my own kind (being Chinese-American myself). As quoted in a WSJ article, A Design Generation Rising, “To explain the sharp increase in their numbers, many young Asian-American designers point to a cultural shift within their communities that has liberated them from traditional career expectations.”

We love to support each and every one of them. So needless to say, when we come across pieces from our fellow Asian kind, it’s hard to contain our excitement! Take a look at some of them that are available at covetshop.com now!

Covet Shop Helps Colin’s Kids Heal Hearts!

Colin’s Kids is a non-profit organization that focuses their efforts towards raising awareness and research funds for Congenital Heart Disease. The event took place on June 20th at the Apawamis Club in Rye, New York. Charity goers partook in a day of golf, dinner, raffles, and silent auctions.

The Zooey (Deschanel) Sunglasses…

Tuesday, June 14th, 2011

Zooey Deschanel is one of our favorite actresses, musicians, and fashion icons! Remember her in that great flick 500 Days of Summer?! We got really excited when we came across this pair of Zooey sunglasses. This collaboration with Oliver Peoples created one of the most sought after sunglasses of the season! The vintage-inspired frame is both edgy and sophisticated. The black plastic frames have ridged metal plagues on both sides.

These sunglasses have been seen on Celebrities like Reese Witherspoon, Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, Liv Tyler, Sharon Osbourn, Rihanna, Gwen Stefani, and Blake Lively…just to name a few. Even the guys are wearing them! They are a new take on a very classic style frame which is why they have proven to be a go-to pair of glasses.

Wedding Inspirations By Grace Kelly

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

Since I am in full on wedding mode AND wedding season is upon us, I thought I would do one more post on other wedding gowns that are inspired by the iconic Grace Kelly.

As Princess Catherine’s wedding gown was revealed last week, we all took notice of the similarity to the wedding gown Grace Kelley wore (rumor has it that a replica is being made). Back in December 2010, Nicole Richie also wore a custom wedding gown by Marchesa, inspired by Grace Kelly.

You can’t get Nicole’s dress as it was custom made for her (ah the beauty of being a star!). But you can get a similar style that is part of Marchesa’s Spring 2012 Bridal Collection. It doesn’t have the beauty of the lace top and sleeves but it is still to die for!

When Ivanka Trump married Jared Kushner in 2009, she wore a custom made Vera Wang inspired by Grace Kelly.

Speaking of designer wedding gowns, Covet Shop is now accepting them for resale. So if you have a Vera Wang, Monique Lhuillier, Amsale, Oscar de la Renta, among others, you might want to consider getting a return on your original investment. That return can turn into a lovely designer bag you’ll wear day in and say out. Contact us for more details!

Behind the Scenes…

Tuesday, April 26th, 2011

Last Sunday, we shot some new images for Covet Shop on our roof top in Manhattan with the uber talented Helen Eriksson! One of the images will be used as my new bio photo. We went in an editorial direction to add some feeling and fun into the photos. My dear friend, Kim Wolf, helped me with the styling. Here is a look at some of the behind the scenes…

Red Carpet Ready

Sunday, January 30th, 2011

As all fashionistas are aware by now, the awards season is upon us and the count down to Oscar night is on! As I write this post, I am watching Live from the Red Carpet on the E! channel cover the SAG Awards. I must say I am much more impressed with the dresses at the Screen Actors Guild Awards than I was for the Golden Globes.

Fabulous Tulle Confection

Fabulous Tulle Confection

Nancy is particularly loving the beautiful confection of the dress Angie Harmon is wearing by Monique L’Huillier, as am I. I am also loving the Carolina Herrera black and gold lace gown that January Jones chose, which is quite the departure from the red hot Versace number she wore at the Globes. I also think that Nicole Kidman’s Nina Ricci gown is stunning. I love the lace back. Overall, I am impressed with several of the nominees and presenters choices.

Watching all of the beautiful dresses has inspired me to put together a few fabulous Red Carpet Ready looks from new pieces on Covet Shop that would make any girl stop traffic and a dead ringer for a Hollywood starlet….

My first ensemble would be…

Stunning Valentino Taffeta Dress
