South Beach Sagamore Hotel: Botox and Lox Party

penthouse2.jpg

This past Friday Vlad and I were invited to attend an ultra posh party at the glamorous Sagamore Hotel in South Beach, Florida on behalf of Glam. Not sure what to expect, but knowing we had to look South Beach ravishing, Vlad was dressed head to toe in Theory along with Tod’s shoes while I (snuggly) pulled off a stunning David Meister dress. The posh party was held in the Penthouse Suite of the Sagamore Hotel, which overlooks South Beach, and was attended by a a great crowd, including Dr. Lee Gibstein, Olivia Chantecaille, Beth Shapiro from Marchesa, Stylist Ann Caruso, Sagamore Owner Jennifer Sazant, Iron Chef winner Michelle Bernstein, and many more. Vlad and I were totally taken off guard though to find out that a majority of the attendees were at the party to celebrate a fine weekend with Vivre. If you are not familiar with Vivre, it is a posh online store and catalog which sells knock-out designer goods. In one of the bungalow’s poolside, Vivre had a small makeshift shop set up for people to browse and buy goods. I was eying some beautiful Nancy Gonzalez croc bags and gorgeous jewels and jems, while being a little put off at my recent spending that was keeping me from purchasing something. If we were not lucky enough to be invited to this party, we also had the pleasure of meeting of meeting Vivre’s CEO, Eva Jeanbart-Lorenzotti. Although she was pressed for time, giving one interview after the next, Eva had a brief moment to meet with Vlad and I. This woman is a fashion guru, a business genius, and a stunning lady. We were so happy to get the chance to meet her and so many others!

Chloe Chain Handle Bag

The chic Bal Harbour shops recently opened up a Chloe store. Vlad and I checked it out last week, of course to see what handbags were there. We were both psyched to see that Chloe has finally begun listening to its crowd, they are releasing Paddingtons with much smaller padlocks. I am happy because it … Read more

LAMB Manchester Clutch

The oversized clutch fits in with the oversized bag and our society’s need to have everything bigger and better. Not that I am fighting it, I am all about better. But we all know that bigger is not always better. What about in the case of one of Gwen Stefani’s clutches? It is big, but … Read more

Name that Bag: Mischa Barton

A Lennon shirt, high waisted jeans, two designer bags, and a puppy to boot, Mischa Barton was spotted roaming the streets of London. I am a a fan of high-waisted pants, but maybe paired with a tight fitting top, not with a tucked in loose John Lennon shirt. Typically, I think Mischa has a stunning … Read more

Jimmy Choo Ramona Tote

Jimmy Choo Ramona Tote There is something so sultry and sexy about the color red. While red lipstick looks completely awful on me, a red bag suits me perfectly. My next red bag will be some sort of small Chanel (either 2.55 or clutch) but if you are looking for something a little bigger, more rich in color, yet still sexy, check out this Jimmy Choo. The Jimmy Choo Ramona Tote shows off a deep rouge color with gold hardware and large eyelets across the top with a thick strap threaded through. I love the laid back look of this bag, completely easy to wear everyday in a color that means business. A signature clasp on the front secures the threaded strap. My favorite lining for a bag, suede, is found on the inside and trimmed in lilac. I love my Rouge Paddington, but this oversized tote is another great option. Expensive, but sexy via Net A Porter for $2800.

Jessica Biel Style: Yves Saint Laurent Downtown Tote

jessica biel ysl bag

Last week the sexiest woman alive (so says Esquire) had an appearance on the Letterman show. After taping the show, Jessica Biel greeted her fans and signed autographs wearing a fitted gray coat, a beautiful YSL bag, and red lipstick 3857673 shades too dark. She needs to get rid of that shade of lipstick, it really makes her look like a clown, but should keep on keeping on with the Yves Saint Laurent Downtown Tote. Biel opted for the white/ivory version which sports montana leather and goldtone hardware. Bag available via Saks for $1495 (though it looks as though Biel has a large version not medium; inquire further via YSL).
