Guest Blogger Thefind.com Is Rocking In Fur Vests


Rocker Inspired Fur Vests by thefind.com


Fur vests are a functional and fun accessory for fall. A fur vest, real or faux, can add a layer of luxurious warmth. This has been one of my 'uniforms' for cool weather dressing, and this year I'll be pairing my faux fur vest with black skinny jeans and my black cashmere Stella McCartney sweaters. There are many shades and styles of fur vest, many inspired by the glam rocker trend. Some are long and can be belted. Others are shorter and zip or buckle up the front. Look for embellished and beaded fur vests as well.
From 3.1 Phillip Lim, this black dyed lamb fur vest (top left, $1,500.00 at NeimanMarcus.com) is a gorgeous splurge. Made in Italy the v-neck vest is embellished with rhinestones and takes the fur vest trend to a new level of luxe wintertime style. The asymmetric and artfully crafted knitted lamb fur vest from Karl Donoghue (top right, $1275 at Intermix.com) is knit with individual fluffy curls of lamb fur. The wide folded collar can be left open or folded up and buttoned to keep you warm and cozy during the chilliest of days. Gryphon's "Rocker Vest" (lower right, $725.00 at Shopbop.com) is made of faux fur, has an open front and is cut to fall above the waist. Accentuated at the neckline with metal beads, this vest makes a nice contrast to an all black outfit or simple black t-shirt. Inside this vest you'll find striped lining. Reasonably priced at $198, French Connection's "Fast Big Foot" Faux Fur Vest, from Bloomingales.com gets you the most faux fur for your dollar. Long with an open placket this lined vest looks great worn open or belted. Pair with a simple tee, dark sweater or black leggings and platform booties.

It's In The "Jeans"!!!!!


The market is currently saturated with jean designers, but Alina
Stefanescu's background makes her unique.
Alina grew up during the Cold War in Communist Romania where influences from Western Civilization, including jeans were banned. Despite the strict regime, Alina's father brought Levis from America into their country to trade illegally. Since restricting American products in Romania was taken seriously, any violation was handled by the police. As a little girl, Alina remembers a time when law enforcement officers bombarded her father's home, searching for illegal jeans. Luckily, her father was not caught...He hid the jeans in the oven!

Alina’s own passion for denim didn’t develop until she moved to
California.
With no formal training or experience in fashion design,
she learned the business through persistence and
dedication. Alina has been successful in establishing her very own jean line. Currently residing in Venice Beach, California, its “anything goes” mantra has inspired Alina’s designs.With an edgy rock and roll appeal, ALINA JEANS are funky enough for a day at the beach, but chic enough for a night out on the town. The premium denim is imported from Italy and Japan. Once in LA they are styled and handmade giving the jeans a dynamic, sexy fit. The ALINA JEANS brand has already drawn attention from celebrities such as Annalynne McCord (Beverly Hills 90210) and Swedish singer/songwriter/model Anine Bing. Get the look with Alina Jeans!

Guest Blogger Thefind.com Says...Let It Rain!

Let it Drizzle, Rain or Pour! Luxe Detailed Trench Coats....



Here's what The find.com has to say.....Unlike many people, I actually look forward to a rainy day now and then. The reason is that I love to wear my
Burberry Trench and Hunter wellies. These two items of clothing were created to endure the most blustery of days and have stood the test of time against the elements. I figured these classics can withstand the rainy season in the Scottish Highlands then they would be durable for rainy days in California. I love the element of utility for these staples of my wardrobe. Because looking arriving well dressed is and prepared is half the battle of any occasion.

Yes, the trench is a wardrobe essential everyone should own. But if you're looking for something more extravagant check out these luxe, quirky, studded shiny and even black-tie worthy trench coats.If you're stepping out for a formal evening or just want to make a grand entrance this Beaded Trench Coat (upper left, $889 at NeimanMarcus.com) is perfect. The 3/4 sleeves, tie waist and full skirt make it the perfect cover up for your best LBD.
Roberto Cavalli is known for over the top detailing and this Studded Wool Trench Coat, (upper right. $3,195 at Net-a-Porter) is no exception. The off white wool trench is embellished with burnished metal studs and features a tie waist, oversized lapels and slit side pockets. If you love the classic detailing of Burberry but want to take your trench to the outer limits, this may be your dream coat. The Quilted Leather Trench Coat (bottom right. $2,395 at Burberry.com) is made of quilted lambskin leather and features buttonable gunflaps on both chests as well as branded metal buttons and a self-belt. For the English eccentric in all of us, the Aquascutum Madame Bovary checked trench coat (bottom left $1,595 Net-a-Porter). The taffeta wrap-around coat features the signature check print, oversized draped lapels, an asymmetric hem and a quirky black bow. The entire coat can be folded up into a neat little pouch for travel or to toss into your tote, just in case.

INTERVIEW with Luxury Handbag Designer...Khirma Eliazov




A Few Goody Gumdrops is so excited to introduce you to an incredible new handbag designer... Khirma Eliazov. We just scooped the first interview with Khirma on the heels of her debut at the renowned luxury retailer Henri Bendel during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. Eliazov, a former Harper's Bazaar, Vogue and Teen Vogue accessories market editor has spent a portion of her career spotting trends, now she's creating them! Her collections are versatile enough to compliment your favorite jeans or cocktail dress!

1. You have an amazing collection of handbags. When did you launch your line of handbags and what inspired you to design handbags?
We are just launching now! Spring is our second season. We have been very diligent in setting up our production for the line so the quality of the bags is not compromised in any way and we are able to produce beautiful bags that have handwoven handles and custom hardware at an attainable price points.
2. What kinds of leathers or materials do you use? Do you exotic skins?
We us cow hide and amazing sof calf with sting ray and python.

3. Do your bags follow fashion trends?
My bags are classic silhouettes that combine beauty and functionality. I wouldn't classify them as trendy.
4. You must be so excited your bags are debuting in Henri Bendel's! How many different styles will they be carrying from your collection?
Having a trunk show at Bendel's is a dream come true! We will be showing 6 different styles at the 4 day trunk show.
5. What is your most popular bag right now?
I would say the Mignonne Pouch everyone of all ages loves it. Or the oversized Cha Cha women are obsessed with large bags and the accross the body strap really give it a great functional feature as well. It really becomes a carryall.

6. What type of women use your bags? Fashion forward woman who appreciates quality not necessarily labels.7. How excited do you get when you see someone using one of your bags?
There is no bigger compliment than seeing a stranger wearing your bag from across the street. You want to walk up to them and ask them how the like it and any comments they would have on it, but of course you don't because they will be like "that girl is crazy."
8. Are any celebrities known for carrying a specific bag in the line? Ciara has the Rojika saddle bag and model Sessilee Lopez and Rhianna have the Mignonne Pouch.
9. Are your bags made in the United States?
Our samples are made in the US but production is out of France
10. Do you eventually want to open your own boutique?
Yes and I'd like to expand the brand into clothing and accessories as well.
If so, where would it be? When we open our first boutique I would like for it to be in NYC.
11. Do your bags have a special trademark?
The hardware was hand drawn and all custom made. The handles are our trade mark as they are all handwoven and the lining is our signature deep purple. All our bags feature a signature stingray.
12. Are your bags colorful?
Aside from black and taupe...our fall collection comes in eggplant, royal blue, navy and gray
13. What do you love most about designing handbags? I love seeing the ideas in my head come to fruition. Seeing our sketches come to life. It’s an incredible feeling walking down the street and noticing a complete stranger wearing one of our bags!
14. Are you aware A Few Goody Gumdrops would love to do a Giveaway in the near future????? I’m so flattered that your readers love our bags and we’re so grateful for the support. As a new brand we have limited merchandise but as we continue to grow and expand, we definitely look forward to participating in a giveaway, promotions and philanthropic initiatives in the near future☺
A Few Goody Gumdrops wishes to thank Khirma Eliazov for her interview and wishes her much success.Her handbags will be on display during Coterie Sole Commerce, September 22-24,2009!

Guest Blogger Thefind.com Is All Ruffled Up!

Gather It Up with Ruffled Blouses for Fall!



Ruffles add a feminine touch to fall dressing and I love the look. The romantic look of ruffles adorns blouses, boots and even clutch handbags with a classic touch of frill to enhance your own personal style. Ruffle fronted blouses are a pretty look for daytime and look amazing with a tweed or all black pencil skirt. High waisted pencil skirts look fresh when paired with a wide belt and pretty ruffled shirt in a neutral shade. The 3/4 sleeve and full sleeve is a nice complement to a ruffled front blouse. Two standout ruffled blouses include the Cascading Ruffle Print Blouse ($100 at Ann Taylor ) and Kate Spade's ruffle silk blouse ($275 at Nordstrom.com).
Also taking on the ruffle trend are fall boots. It can soften the look of leather boots and booties. I've got my eye on these Marc by Marc Jacobs Ruffle suede knee-high boots ($790 at Net-a-Porter).They would look amazing with an all black sheath for night as well. In the ankle bootie department, check out these cute Easy Rider Izzie Ruffled Nappa Booties ($395 at NeimanMarcus.com). The butterfly ruffle is a nice touch and you can work your jewelry to coordinate with the gold trim edging.
A ruffled clutch like this one from Lane Bryant ($39.50 at LaneBryant.com) would be a nice addition to a more conservative buttoned down look for day or paired with an over-sized Alexander Wang tee and skinny jeans for your weekend outings.

I'd Rather Have A Mink Coat!

Prada
Visone Hobo Tote.


Super-soft "tres chic"(?) mink design has double handles, a detachable shoulder strap and a drawstring cinch at the top. That being said...I would rather have a Mink Coat...especially given the steep price of this bag! I think the shape is awkward...although on a cold day this bag may keep my hands nice and warm but I could also buy a warm pair of gloves.
We are not purchasing this bag but if you would like to own this bag...click the link! Shoes & Handbags What???? No Prada Logo? On second thought...this bag would make a great seat warmer at a freezing cold football game!

Our Friend and Guest Blogger Thefind.com Ventures Out in Daytime Velvet

Ultra Velvet for Daytime Drama

Velvet is not just for evening anymore. These ultra modern velvet dresses are just as appropriate for day as they are for night. The look is simple and clean in gorgeous shades and graphic patterns. From burnout designs to pleats and geometrics, velvet dresses are a pretty way to infuse a bit of night time luxury into your wardrobe. This classic fabric has never looked so modern! Pair with simple but bold accessories. We love the shades of black and crimson for fall.
Minimal with an avant guard edge, the Alexander Wang Burnout Velvet Combo Dress ($420.00 at Shopbop.com, top left) is simplicity at its best. The dress features a jersey and velvet burnout asymmetric panel at the shoulder. From Diane von Furstenberg's Grano printed velvet wrap dress ($345 at Net-a-Porter) features an abstract all over animal print in striking jewel tones. I love the three quarter draped sleeves, low v-neck and self tie wide fabric belt. A pretty look for daytime with opaque tights with pumps then remove the tights for cocktails and pair bare legs with some strappy platform sandals. As seen on the runways, the Chloe Draped velvet dress ($2,940 at Net-a-Porter) adds dramatic the appeal of an '80s silhouette for one of the more noteworthy events on your agenda.
Pair pretty velvet pumps with a velvet dress or your favorite little black dress for a classic polished evening look. We found a pair of luxe Christian Louboutin Lady Page Velvet-Bow Pumps ($995 at NeimanMarcus.com) and for less pick up a pair of budget-friendly Mossimo Dulce Velvet Peep Toe Pumps in black ($24.99 at Target.com).

Shopping and Goodies Supports Thyroid Cancer Awareness Month

Photo Courtesy of Thefind.com

This edition of Weekly Shopping and Goodies is dedicated to supporting and raising Thyroid Cancer Awareness. September brings us Fashion Week and Thyroid Cancer Awareness Month.
Thyroid Cancer is now the 6th most common Cancer in women and has increased in incidence rates over the last few years. The message for Thyroid Cancer Awareness Month is "Find It Early." This Cancer is often overlooked, slow growing and is known to be more prevalent in women.
I especially want to thank all my friends from Shopping and Goodies who posted such AMAZING links in support of Thyroid Cancer. My favorite Fashionista's have discussed incredible fashion options for patients who are Post Thyroid Surgery. They have found everything from Scar Necklaces to Cashmere Scarves, to the best Sunscreen,Turtlenecks and so much more.
We write about fashion trends and styles every week and this week I am so grateful to everyone who supported and wrote about Thyroid Cancer. Many of us are constantly examining our wrinkles, crows feet and facial lines...We hope you will realize it is equally important to examine and "Check Your Neck" which can be done by your Doctor in a routine check-up.
Again, thank you to all the editors of so many blogs who have helped to Raise Awareness and Support Thyroid Cancer! Please visit the Thyca website to learn more about this disease.
