This is Amy's "business casual" look for a Friday conference day that is both chilly and rainy (hence the need for the wellies).

Above isAmy’s “business casual” look for a Friday conference day that is both chilly and rainy (hence the need for the wellies!). The taupe trousers are Gap’s “Perfect trousers” which I strongly recommend. While spending $58 for a pair of pants may seem counter to the graduate student budget, one has to consider the ROI for such a purchase. They are appropriate for the classroom, conferences, and more casual affairs as well. Best of all, they do not require dry cleaning. After doing a closet overall this summer (and giving lots the heave-ho), I bought these pants in three colors: taupe (pictured), black,burberry outlet, and a brown glen plaid. As they are true four-season pants, I will be getting many years of wear out of them. The pink wool coat and thin ecru turtleneck sweater are also Gap. After years of avoiding the Gap (because its trendiness didn’t fit my preppy inclinations), I am now back and a big fan of the new designs that have been brought by fashion world veteran Patrick Robinson. The wellies and coordinating socks are last season’s J Crew, and the bag is from my favorite company, Vineyard Vines, which is opening up its first Boston store tomorrow, November 8!

100_1890Jen’s teaching outfit of the week. You can tell by the double-wellies post that Boston has been rainy the past couple days. The rainy weather gold standard (made and worn by the Brits): Hunter boots. I picked a pair with extra flare — three buckles instead of one.

DKNY Antonia Peep-Toe Ankle Boots

These DKNY Antonia Peep-Toe Ankle Boots are sure to accompany your laid-back tailored look, and better yet, accent a military-styled ensemble, which is one of the on-trend styles of the new season. This bootie isn’t really something that can keep your feet warm, but it sure is something that can transform your look.

What’s good about these DKNY Antonia Peep-Toe Ankle Boots is also its cheap price tag as this retails for only $130 at Net-A-Porter. I even have to take a look at that price tag again because it really is surprising that this sells under $200.

So anyway, these DKNY Antonia Peep-Toe Ankle Boots are made from chocolate brushed-leather material,burberry scarf, and it obviously shows multiple straps that as if it looks like a bandage placed around your foot. This sure looks so casual and very much laid-back, yet it also happens to show a very chic design. This also has a cutout at the back of the heel and also an open almond toe, which adds to its overall design. To complete, this then has an exposed zip fastening on the side, and a wooden heel of four inches is also available for added height.

Wear these DKNY Antonia Peep-Toe Ankle Boots with your khaki pants and blazer to pull a military-chic trend.

Hunter had her two year check-up today.

She is 37.25 inches tall and weighs 34.5 pounds, which puts her above the 98th percentile for both. If all the stuff about doublinga child’sheight at age two is correct, Hunter in on track to be 6’2.5″. (Just as tall as Carrie Walsh…)

The only shot on the menu today was a flu shot, which did not go over well,burberry scarf, but, Hunter composed herself enough to tell the nurse, “Bye, thank you,” through her tears.

All was forgiven when she was allowed to choose a sucker from the candy bowl.

Andafter arriving home anda bit of a snack, she treated me to a rendition of Puss and Boots from Shrek II coughing up a hairball. Haven’t actually seen her do that before… quite entertaining.

Louis Vuitton Mahina
Louis Vuitton Mahina

Louis Vuitton has done it again. They have made a bag that is pricey and highly sought after. Last time I was in Louis Vuitton Bal Harbour I ran into a member of Purse Forum. She was desperately looking for the Mahina, but they were out, as have been many Louis Vuitton boutiques. We reported on the Louis Vuitton Mahina when it was first released (dubbed the Louis Vuitton XL and XXL) and since then there has been Mahina mayhem. But the bags, both in XL and XXL are available in eLuxury right now. The XL costs $3100 while the XXL costs $3900. Told you, expensive,hunter boots, yet understated with the monogram LV and the large slouch. Grab it while you can!

Louis Vuitton Watercolor Speedy First and foremost, much of the information on this new bag from Louis Vuitton is still not set-in-stone nor is anyone 100% sure of the truth behind it all. We have all heard conflicting stories, information, prices, release dates, etc. But you know a bag is a sure hit when the rumors begin (sick but true!). Richard Prince collaborated with Marc Jacobs to design artistic bags for the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2008 line. The hottest item right now is the Louis Vuitton Watercolor Speedy which is said to be released in the US on May 1,2008. The release date has been changed numerous amounts of times. Another piece of information that everyone is uncertain of is the price. The early look book says the bag will be $1,185 but I have heard prices going up to $1,burberry check scarf,600. My wonderful SA at Bal Harbour did some research and believes it will be around $1,300. The next piece of information that has many confused is the size. While the Louis Vuitton Speedy is available in a size 30 and 35, this bag is said to only come in size 35. The monogram pattern is designed in a manner that has the orange, red, and yellow paints looking like they were painted on with watercolor paint. This bag has an incredibly long wait list at many stores and the masses are clamoring to get the next ‘big’ Speedy. The price is said to be around $1,300 via your local LV boutique when available. You can always check eLuxury also.

 

Louis Vuitton Aquarelle Bag
Louis Vuitton Aquarelle Bag

If you think the Watercolor Speedy is stunning, wait until you see the Louis Vuitton Aquarelle Bag. This bag is a modified Speedy, a more refined and chic style. Of course the Speedy is a house classic, but the framed top shape of the Aquarelle really draws your attention. The frame is also made of wood and the handles are made of lizard. This is a stunning bag in the Richard Prince collaboration with Louis Vuitton. If the price were not so steep, I would have got on this list, but I just could not justify it. These pieces are LV collectors items, without a doubt. The price on this bag is said to be around $3,600, but it will most likely end up costing over this amount. Release date should also be around May 1st.

Dear valued customer, at Ties-Necktie.com we recently have expanded our collection of British Repp-Stripe and Regimental Ties. We have added close to a dozen of new designs and colors. As common for traditional British and Regimental ties, this new collection by necktie designer Parsley combines traditional design with regimental colors. Not only the design and colors are classic British but even the type of fabric and fabric weave is a perfect match, giving the tie a sophisticated British look.

Necktie designer Parsley uses finest Mogador silk in their collection of British ties. Mogador is a fabric that combined finest cotton with highest grade silk in warp and weft. Weaving these two fabrics with completely different characteristics into one fabric is a skilled art that few designers have mastered as well as Parsley Luxury Neckwear. Silk is much more delicate and much softer that cotton. Therefore the silk is fist spun into a slightly thicker and stronger yarn using 5 strands of individual silk thread. This, so-called 5-ply silk yarn is the then woven as the warp with finest cotton yarn in the weft. The result is a fabric that has a matte dull shine, slightly stiffer feel, and a very intricate ribbed texture ? it is the perfect compliment for any traditional striped tie ? that sometimes is also known as a repp-stripe, or collegiate striped necktie.

It seems that I have a new rain boot fascination each spring. Last year it was the Hunter short boot, and the year prior was the Hunter original tall, in green of course.? Well this year I am all about L.L. Bean. Specifically,burberry bag, the bison boot.? I remember growing up in New England and wearing “ducks” as a kid, and now they just feel right again. I love the stripped down and rustic feel of these boots, yet there is still something charming and elegant about them. They are a classic, and with all the rain we’ve been getting here in San Francisco lately they’ll be quite useful.
