Cross Connector Ring - In Gold

This gorgeous piece of jewelry is from Seventh Door. I got their original Silver Cross Connector Ring a few months ago which I blogged about here and here. Now they've come out with a gold version!

It comes in solid yellow bronze and from my experience with the silver version, it's very durable and does not tarnish as promised. You can visit the Seventh Door website for more information (or to order) here. It retails at USD68.00 and comes in 4 sizes. And in case you're wondering, the silver version is still available. Now tell me, do I "need" the gold version as well?

Alberta Ferretti for Spring 2011 Ready To Wear

Spring 2011 Ready To Wear Collection by Alberta Ferretti

My favorite looks from Alberta Ferretti's Spring 2011 RTW collection. I love the flowy long dresses, the see-through, lace and crochet details, and the earthy colors. I even love the flats. They go really well with the dresses. 

My favorite would have to be the right-most (5th) look on the first set. :-)

Burberry Prorsum for Spring/Summer 2011 Womenswear

Spring/Summer 2011 Womenswear Collection by Burberry Prorsum

All I can say about this collection is: THE JACKETS! Those luscious jackets and gorgeous trench coats are just amazing. I'm also loving the first 3 dresses on the last set. I want all three colors. :-)

Tory Burch Dena Messenger Leather Bag

Dena Messenger Leather Bag in Smoke Brown by Tory Burch

Tory Burch calls this color Smoke Brown. And it's a very gorgeous brown with a supple-looking leather complete with gold hardware. It has a top opening with a magnetic stud fastening, a fold-over flap with metallic fastenings and a removable leather shoulder strap.

I like. :-)

Speaking of Tory Burch, one of my best friends and I made a pact to buy a pair of classic Tory Burch ballerina flats by this year. My question is, are they comfortable? I've always had a bad experience with those having elasticated backs. Bad idea really to make a pact when I'm not even sure if they'll be comfortable. Ha.

Gucci Crepe-Jersey Backless Dress

Crepe-jersey backless dress by Gucci

A gorgeous Pale Camel-colored stretch crepe-jersey dress with an asymmetric cutout back with a metallic-gold leather belt at waist. It also has a gold press-stud fastening at back of neck and draped overlay at front of waist.

I love the design and color of this dress. Simple yet elegant. Unfortunately, I cannot dare to spend £719.15 for a dress even if it's a Gucci.

Boxer I Tote by Reed Krakoff

Boxer I Leather Tote & Boxer I Suede Tote by Reed Krakoff

The black leather tote caught my eye on Net-a-porter.com (where else?). It's by an American designer named Reed Krakoff. I haven't heard of this designer before but according to his write-up on the site, he worked for Ralph Lauren and Coach and just debuted his eponymous ready-to-wear label. 

So far, this leather tote tops my list from his collection. According to the site, it's a black textured leather tote with a tab-fastening front flap, two top handles, gunmetal hardware, a wrap-around stud-fastening tab at handle, magnetic fastening pocket at back with metal feet and is fully lined in black fabric. It also comes in light brown suede with leather trim. Both styles retail at £821.28. Sigh.

H&M Fall Fashion 2010

Looks I love from H&M's fall fashion collection 2010:

I love all the ruffles, chiffon tops, long chiffon vests, military-inspired green knit cardigans, and olive green leggings. I would love the leather jackets and pants but they're not exactly something I can wear in this weather. :-)

I don't think I'll ever get myself a pair of leopard shoes but these look great.

Miu Miu Bow Bag

Miu Miu Bow Bag in Electric Blue

I've seen this bag around in Singapore -- a lot around. Many of the girls here seem to like this Bow Bag from Miu Miu. At first, I didn't think much of it. It wasn't what you call a "standout" bag with it's simple style and neutral colors. I've only seen them in brown, black and pink.

But! With the opening of Miu Miu's new store at the Marina Bay Sands and thanks to the heads up by Singapore's Bagaholicboy, they're releasing a special edition Bow Bag in 9 new vibrant colors and in nappa vernice, a special patent leather exclusive to Miu Miu. According to Bagaholicboy, there will only be 50 pieces sold in assorted colors: electric blue [above], creamy beige, two different hues of red, a bright yellow, lilac and a few more:

I personally love the purple one on the far left. And in case you're interested in getting one, it retails at SGD2,260. You can get more details from Bagaholicboy's post here.
