Sarah Jessica Parker: Bitten

Yes, I know this is the second post about SJP in 2 days, but please bear with me; I am very excited to share this with you. I'm not sure if any of you know this, but Sarah is launching her own clothing line, Bitten. What is even more exciting is that it will be affordable. I absolutely love SJP's fashion sense and she has most definitely become a fashion icon for many. Also, she won the Fashion Icon Award at the CFDA Fashion Awards in 2004 and accompanied Alexander McQueen to last year’s Costume Institute gala. It is upsetting that the line is being compared to The Row, the fashion line developed by the Olsen twins, simply because SJP is in a league of her own when it comes to clothes. The tagline for the collection is “Fashion is not a luxury, it’s a right”. Almost sounds like something Carrie would say in “Sex and the City” :) Judge for yourselves, first glimpse at Bitten by SJP to be sold at Steve & Barry’s starting June 7th.

The dress that she wore last night (picture on the left) is also part of Bitten.

Night Out for Under $100 *Dinner Date*

I think this will be interesting to do. The first installment of the "Night Out for Under $100" will be a *Dinner Date*. Read on!
I'm sure that many of you ladies out there will agree with me when I say that on a night on the town, you want to look sexy. Personally, I also like to be comfortable and ready for anything. What if it rains...or snows...or you end up having to walk 8 blocks from the car to the destination because of the lack of parking spots. Girl's gotta be prepared.
I'm going to assume that you're not going to a big Hollywood bash and a gown is not required. For dinner you don't want to wear something that won't allow you to sit down and enjoy the meal. The inspiration comes right off the NY Fashion Week Runway. This number by Alvin Valley is a colorful, yet elegant ensemble.

1. Shirt. Yellow is the color. Chances are, you'll have to look in the Juniors section to find a bright one. By the time summer starts, yellow will be everywhere. Forever21 has a great sleeveless yellow top at $22.80.

2. Pants. These have a wide leg, so to get this look the pants cannot be too fitted, they almost have a "menswear" look to them, a little sailor. Well, Urban Outfitters have a pair for $39.99. That's what I call a wide leg.

3. Shoes. To complete the outfit, the last thing that's needed are shoes. For this outfit I'd go for a pair of ballerina flats or maybe a kitten heel. We have $37 left in our budget, which should be more than enough. Endless.com has a pair of tan flats by Tribeca for $36. These are beautiful!

This outfit is not only ready for dinner, it's all geared up for a stroll down the runway. Check back next week for more!

SHOES

Here I go about shoes again. Yes, I am obsessed with them. Very much so, especially because I have discovered the newest bestest (I don't think this is an actual word) shoe website. Yes, it is better than Zappos. The website is http://www.endless.com/. I assume that they mean endless shoes, which is fine by me. The story goes like this: my lovely little hellion by the name of Charlie, who is a terrier, decided to chew on a pair of my Steve Maddens that I recently got from Nordies for $90, yes, ninety. I loved those shoes very much...*sad*. I couldn't dwell on that for too long, so I got on the web and found the same shoes on Endless for $25. How awesome is that. I didn't stop there. I got another pair of Maddens and a pair of Chinese laundry pointy toe shoes. All of those on sale for $60. Yes, sixty. Sixty dollars total. How awesome is that??? And free overnight shipping. You can't beat free. All those shoes are still over $90 at Nordstrom and Macy*s, but not Endless. Oh, I can't praise that store enough. Big thanks to Amazon.
