What do you think?

So I've decided to treat myself to a new everyday wallet since the one I have is not big enough to hold my stuff. I have some Chinese new Year money left so I'm going to buy something nice. My only requirement is that it is long so it will fit all my stuff. I'm not quite sure what's out there along the wallet category, but here's some stuff I found online that I kinda of like.

This is the Prada Saffiano Wallet. So far this is my favorite since it has the zipper closure. It's classic and will never go out of style. Hopefully.


Here is the foldover version, the Prada Saffiano Metal Oro Flap Wallet. The zipper one looks like it would be able to hold more though.


This is the Chloe Paddington Leather Wallet. I think the little lock is really cute. However, it's a little more rough than the Prada ones.


Here's the Bottega Venetta Intrecciato Continental Wallet, I love Bottega Venetta stuff and this wallet is very classy. It might be too old though, maybe in a few years this will be the next one.


I really like these Gucci wallets, but I don't know if I can bring myself to spend over $400 on something that isn't leather. They are SO very pretty though.


Here's are Gucci wallets with all leather. I really like these but they're a little out of my price range.


The Tod's Kate Long Wallet is nice, I love Tod's too, they're such a classy and elegant brand. For some reason it doesn't really have that same "I want it factor"as the other ones do though.


One of my friends has this Lodis Credit Card Case which is the niftiest wallet ever. It's superthin and holds a lot of stuff. It's only $38.00 too at Nordstrom. I'm going to buy one of these for travelling and putting all my stuff into a smaller purse.


Which ones do you like? Do you have any other suggestions or brands that I should look at?

Fancy Charm Necklaces

Ever since Sarah Jessica Parker wore a diamond horseshoe necklace on Sex and the City (a show I still miss), I've loved that style of diamondy charm necklaces. They're classy, beautiful, and even though they're small, they really pop and can make an outfit. Lots of designers make them, especially similar ones (horseshoes, letters, numbers, religious symbols, circles). They're also a celebrity favorite. You can also get most designs in gold and silver if you can't afford the diamond ones. Here are some of the ones I really like.

Jennifer Meyer is the queen of the charm necklace. Her website has a lot of them but I couldn't figure out how to post them because it's a slideshow, oh well. On the left is Jennifer Aniston wearing the feather necklace in The Break Up (her wardrobe was FANTASTIC in that movie). The Wish Bone Necklace on the right is the only oneI could find to buy online. It's at Barneys for $2,325.00.

Her necklaces have the charms with different colored gems like ruby, sapphire, and turquoise. She also has acorns, hearts, the star of david and this cool astrological one.


Alex Woo also has some really nice ones. I like her Little Faith line of religious symbols, the dove and lotus blossom are my favorites.

Her Eve necklace line is really pretty. Circle pendants are very popular but hers are thicker which makes them more unique. I really like the rose gold.

Alex Woo also makes the necklaces in Sterling Silver for 100some which is nice since the minimum price for lots of Jennifer Meyer's are 500some.

Lizzie Scheck also makes these types of necklaces. I like the Fan Necklace $835 (I think it would look better in silver though) and Snow Flake Necklace $2,200.00 is also very pretty.


And then there's always classic Tiffany, my favorite brand. They really know how to make a gorgeous necklace. I love this Tiffany Voile Necklace, too bad it's around $6,000.00.

I have this Tiffany Feathers Necklace which I love.

Tiffany also makes necklaces with the diamond charms that are letters of the alphabet and religious symbols.

More hats!

Hats are a very personal thing because a hat that looks great on someone might look like crap on another. So I'm just going to post about some that look good online and hopefully look that good on. I've noticed whenever i wear a hat (of the non-baseball variety) I always get a lot of compliments, maybe because most people don't wear hats.

I have this Ripstop Cadet hat from Urban Outfitters for $24.00. I love it, it's really flattering and I've gotten several compliments on it. I've also seen some guys wearing it so i guess it's unisex.


My sister bought this Twill Cabbie hat with buckle from Urban Outfitters and it looks great on her. Last time she wore this going out on Sunset so many people complimented her. it's also on sale for $11.99!


I really like this Felt Bucket Hat with Button, also from Urban for $34.00. I love the big button, it's a nice detail. For some reason this hat conjures up the image of a girl wearing this type of hat with a pea coat skipping around in the rain in New York. Probably just my imagination though.


I saw a girl wearing a fedora once and it looked awesome on her, very tough look to pull off though. I really like this Eugenia Kim Max Fedora that is on sale for $155 from $235.


Even though it's February this hat would be great during summer. The straw hat on the left is really nice for the beach or if you feel like being a bit breezy while walking down the street in a summer dress. This one is from J.Crew and is called the Classic Straw hat for $49.50. I like it better than the straw cowboy hat trend (on the right, you probably can't tell but that's Teri Hatcher and bunch of other celebs wearing it) that was in style for a while. I thnk the floppy hat is a little classier.



Of course Americans don't even come close to being hat crazy compared to British people. I think when you dress up there you're required to wear a hat or else the outfit seems really casual. It also seems like the weirder the hat the better, what is the deal with that anyways. For example, these are pictures from Camilla and Charles' wedding I saw online, if you look closely, every single woman is wearing a hat, and totally ugly ones at that.


The two possible future queens of England, Camilla Parker Bowles and Kate Middleton are wearing some strange hats here.

Eugenia Kim Sale

As I was reading one of my favorite blogs, Shopping Nerd, I saw that the fantastic hat designer Eugenia Kim was having a sale. She's a super popular hat designer and I love hats so I couldn't pass up this opporunity. I think her most popular design is the Muffy design that comes in different colors and designs.

Here's Jessica Simpson wearing the Muffy 5 in Black Velvet. It's also on sale at the website for $95 and comes in Black, chocolate, navy, and eggplant.


This is the Muffy 3 which is made out of cashmere. I kinda like the white one better actually. It's on sale for $95 from $225.


This is the Muffy 7, camel navy striped wool cap. That's Lindsay Lohan if you can't tell. Again $95 on sale from $175.


Here's the Muffy 1 in brown, I got the gray one you can see on Beyonce on the right. I got the gray instead of brown because I think it would look better with my jet black hair.


This Felt Cadet hat at Urban Outfitters kind of looks like the Eugenia Kim hats. It is $34 and comes in red, blue and gray.


Wow, I just realized that I really dislike every single celebrity who I just posted about (especially Paris Hilton, ugh). Hahaha, oh well, i can't hold it against the hat, I'm excited to get mine.
