Leopard Love

Posted on January 20, 2013 by thefashionminx

As I have told you before………I LOVE leopard. So, when these Stuart Weitzman backflip booties in leopard went on sale at Zappos, I had to buy them! Truthfully, I had been lusting after these boots since last year, but the price tag stopped me. When they went on sale though, I had to cave! And, believe it or not, they are comfortable! And, they match perfectly with my J Crew Edie clutch that I also scored on sale. Sadly, the leopard version is sold out now, but similar gorgeous leopard clutches are HERE, and HERE. Today was actually a beautiful, warm day in NYC. By warm, I mean 50s, but it’s January! That feels like Summer to me!! It gave me a chance to rock my Balenciaga quilted jacket, with a fur vest on top. Again, for GREAT PRICES on Balenciaga, visit HG BAGS!! Email Erica and tell her you read about her site on my blog! Her prices are half off retail!! Too bad next week is back to cold. LOL Happy Weekend!

Indian Summer

Posted on December 21, 2012 by thefashionminx

The weather in NYC has been unseasonably warm, which is pleasant to walk around it, but scary at the same time for those of us worried about global warming. (like me) Nevertheless….it’s a great excuse to wear my favorite burgundy Balenciaga leather jacket. Similar HERE and HERE. Pants are Zara. I love the leopard print on them. Get similar looks HERE and HERE. I have been wearing my Pamela Love Tribal necklace almost every day since I got it.(See post HERE) It’s the perfect statement necklace, and it’s earthy and organic at the same time…..just my style. 😉 Check out Pamela Love’s other designs HERE.

P.S. Isn’t it strange how much it’s raining lately? During Winter? Shouldn’t it be snowing? Sigh….

What are you favorite looks this Winter?

Black and Burgundy

Posted on September 20, 2012 by thefashionminx

Me and Sheree posing in front of Barney’s windows.

Barney’s Christian Louboutin window display with pumps underwater, and fish swimming around them. I LOVE IT!!!

Here are some quick shots as I was running around the city today. 😉 Stopped by Barneys to see what was out for Fall, and also wanted to check out their new windows….THEY ARE GORGEOUS. I also met up with my friends Debbie and Sheree. Burgundy is a HUGE color this season, so I was happy to finally be able to wear my burgundy Balenciaga quilted jacket. (This was another huge investment buy.) When I saw the color I had to get it! I am actually seeing this color EVERYWHERE now. I will be doing a blog post soon on the best deals this season on bags, shoes, jackets and clothing in this deep rich color. Stay tuned for that! 😉 xoxo Julie

Neon brights

Posted on March 26, 2012 by thefashionminx

I am just LOVING this weather! 70 degrees again in March! I had an amazing day today hanging at my good friend’s (and fellow awesome blogger’s) house, helping her purge her wardrobe, and get rid of things she does NOT need. God, I need to do the same thing! LOL

I threw on this new top I got from Zara, which was slightly sheer, and gave me the ideal chance to show off my neon pink bra from Victoria’s Secret. This is another great way to wear neon that isn’t too much “in your face”. It’s a hint of color, and a great way to brighten up a plain top. I had to also take out my cobalt blue Celine luggage tote again. Now that the weather is getting warmer, I will definitely be wearing this a lot more. LOVE the cobalt blue mixed with other neons as well. How are you wearing neon this season so far? More photos after the break. 😉

Night out in the city

Posted on November 29, 2011 by thefashionminx

Join me for a gorgeous night in the city! 😉 My boyfriend and I went to a meeting tonight to discuss a possible partnership for my blog. I decided to snap some shots on the train heading to the city, and to also snap some in the gorgeous lobby of the hotel where our meeting was held. It was another beautiful day in NYC! 65 degrees at 7pm? I hope this amazing weather keeps up! I prefer leather jackets over down coats any day! Winter can wait!

I fell in love with this hotel lobby! That circular fish tank was amazing! And those fish were huge, and had teeth! LOL The decor was gorgeous. I will definitely be stopping by again, so beautiful!

As you can see, I can’t stop wearing my Balenciaga jacket. It’s so comfortable and I love the quilting! I hope the weather stays warm like this so I have more chances to sport it! What do you think? xoxoxo

Final Hurrah for Fall Fashion

Posted on November 27, 2011 by thefashionminx

Today was a gorgeous Fall day in NYC! It was unseasonably warm for the end of November, and I loved it!! Today was the perfect excuse to wear my Balenciaga leather jacket. I am definitely a leather jacket kinda girl. I own about 10 leather jackets that I rotate and wear as much as possible when the weather permits. In NYC,we only get about two months of really good” leather jacket wearing” weather in the Fall, so you better believe I take advantage of a day like today when I can!! I scored this beauty at a discount off www.Hgbagsonline.com. The owner Erica has amazing deals on everything “Balenciaga”. I had mentioned when I started this blog that I love mixing designer pieces with low priced items. I have always loved splurging on really good shoes, jackets, and bags. ( My boots by the way are Acne Pistol Boots, and they are by far the most stylish and comfortable boots I have ever owned!….buy them here.) I firmly believe that if you invest in high end, quality items that you will have forever, you will be able to buy everything else at a discount, but always look like a million bucks. I plan on sharing some amazing ebay finds, and killer deals that I found online in my next blog post…..

In the meantime, enjoy my photos from today at Astoria Park! xoxoxoxoxo

What a breathtaking day in the park today! I love Astoria park for the view, atmosphere and people. There were weddings in the park today, kids playing, baseball games, and people with their dogs……like this adorable Husky that we met! The leaves on the ground were the perfect touch to this Fall day.

I paired my bright red Balenciaga city bag with this neutral gray dress from Forever 21, black tights, Acne boots, and my Balenciaga leather jacket. I love how the red bag adds a pop of color. Oh, and I took out my Lady Gaga for Barney’s sunglasses for the first time! I love the yellow, I think it works in for all seasons! What are you favorite Fall outfits and colors? Do share! xoxoxoxo
