Sunday Steals: Valentino Bow D'Orsay Pumps for Pennies

Darlings, to the left you will find Valentino’s beautiful Bow D’Orsay Pumps in Beige – the very same pretties seen upon the feet of Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Eva Longoria, Solange Knowles, Ashley Jones, and Brenda Song; to the right you will find Alloy’s decadent D’Orsey Stiletto in Nude Patent.

While the Alloy offering is slightly less glossy than that of their haute couture counterpart; for a mere $36.90, in comparison to the $645.00 required to add the voracious Valentino’s to your shoe collection, they are le perfect compromise for the cheap chica – and allow one to scoop up not one, but both bodacious hues (Nude Patent and Black Patent)!

So mes chéris, what are you up to today? Will your AmEx take a beating with a splurge, or will you stay safe and thrifty with a frugal buy?

♥Wearing: Forever 21 Knit Sweater Top in Pink; Forever 21 Basic Knit Tank in White; Forever 21 Classic Skinny Jeans in Medium Denim; Dolce Vita Jollen in Nude; Forever 21 Sparkling Love Ring in Gold/Clear; 18k Gold-Plated Sterling Silver “Carrie” Style Name Necklace via MyNameNecklace.

♥Reading: The Carrier of the Mark by Leigh Fallon. Pre-order your copy now. Seriously. It is epic and will become your newest literary obsession. Stupéfiant, stupéfiant, stupéfiant!

♥Glamourizing: Nails: OPI Crown Me Already! from the Miss Universe 2011 Collection. Lips: mark Glossblossom Ripening Lip Tint. Eyes: mark I-Mark Metallics Custom Pick Eye Shadow in Truffle.

♥Listening: Crush On You (Nero Remix) by The Jets. Download. Listen. Repeat. Insane!

♥Adoring: Mania Mania. The juxtaposition between gritty urban glamour and futuristic aesthetics makes me weak in the knees. Even better is the fact that, with the slight addition of the Vagabond Cuff in Bronze, Love on the Left Bank Cuff in Bronze/Silver, or The Eternal Ring with Amazonite in Bronze to jeans and a plain white tee, you can’t help but to radiate raw elegance. Swoon! Leather pants. Specifically, Elizabeth & James’ Bell Bottom Leather Pants, Haute Hippie’s Skinny Stretch Leather Pants, and Current/Elliott’s The Leather Leggings. Paired with Foley + Corinna’s Knit Poncho with Leather Buckles they are effortlessly elegant; topped with FASHION’S NIGHT OUT Fashion’s Night Out Short Sleeve Tee they are edgy chic; and styled alongside Sam Edelman’s Uma Haircalf Platform Booties they are flirty fabulous. With versatility like that, is there any question as to why j’adore? Mais non! Eugenia Kim Hats. They are très Serena van der Woodsen circa Gossip Girl Season 1, vous ne pensez pas? The Zoey Hat? Besoin! The Catherine Wide Brim Hat with Pierced Feather? Convoiter! The Carly Floppy Hat with Tiger Striped Feather? Amour!

♥Watching: The Rescuers Down Under.

♥Desiring: Gryphon Varsity Jacket in Ivory. Now one need not be Head Cheerleader, or the girlfriend of the captain of the football team to rock one of the coolest accoutrements on campus. Ooh, me le donner maintenant! Victoria Beckham Zip Low Rise Skinny Jeans in Wax Sky. The color is incredibly multifaceted, is it not? Just neutral enough to act as a base for oversized chunky knits; yet incredibly eye-catching for those evenings out when you want to cause a standing ovation. Kate Ermilio Double Swing Skirt in Navy. The mere sight of it invokes visions of charming tea parties, society ladies who lunch, and curtsies galore! I shall partner it with Vince’s Little Boy Tee in Coastal and Belle Noel’s Multi Chain Necklace in Palladium to downplay its frou-frou finesse. Amour!

♥Quoting: Robert Frost - “In three words, I can sum up everything I have learned about life: it goes on.”

♥Awaiting: Forever 21 Tiny Heart Ring in Gold/Red. There is something quite charming about a piece of jewelry sporting an aesthetic so simplistic it looks as if it could have been found within the folds of a Cracker Jack box, is there not? Love!

But enough about moi; let’s talk about…vous. Time to give me the lowdown on your life, lovers! What are you up to this week?

Tightwad Tuesday: Christian Louboutin Miss Fast Ankle Boots on a Budget

Lovers, to the left take a peek at Christian Louboutin’s mesmerizing Miss Fast Ankle Boots – the very same ones seen worn by Blake Lively, Alex Curran, and Jenna Dewan; now, if you’ll glance to the right, you shall find Nine West’s glamorous Gracious in Black Leather.

Though the Nine West wonders lack the signature red leather sole of the Loubies, and sport a heel that is a full inch shorter than that of the 5 ¼” seen on the luscious Louboutin’s; for just $98.10, in comparison to the $995.00 needed to speed up your shoe collection with the addition of Miss Fast, they are an exemplary way to snag a little star style on a shoestring budget – and allow one enough spare change to add all five haute hues to their wardrobe (Black Leather, Taupe Leather, Black Suede, Red Suede, and Dark Grey Leather)!

Which role have you decided to undertake on this terrific Tuesday, kittens? Tightwad or spendthrift?

Sunday Steals: Casadei Platform Sandals for Pennies

Lovers, in the left corner cast your glamorous gaze upon Casadei’s pretty Platform Sandals in Coral from the Spring/Summer 2011 Collection; to the right, prepare to be swept away by Jessica Simpson’s charming Prinnce in Cranberry Maya Nubuck.

While the platform and heel height of the jewel-toned Jessica Simpson lovelies is a bit higher than that of their couture cousins; for a mere $98.00, as opposed to the $675.00 price tag of the Casadei Platforms, they are the perfect footwear selection for the frugalista looking for her knight in shining armor – and affordable enough to scoop up three saucy shades (Cranberry Maya Nubuck, Whiskey Lima Leather, and Black Eco Nappa)!

Think Pink!

Dolls, the color pink may often be equated with saucy “Barbie girls living in a Barbie world”, but the haute hue is so much more than a mere frivolous flavor thanks to its globally recognized appearance as the official color of Breast Cancer Awareness. And now you can do your part in joining the battle to beat breast cancer, whilst adding a new splash of pink to your arsenal of beauty supplies, via the Pink Orchid Limited Edition from ghd website.

Like all ghd stylers, the Pink Orchid Limited Edition is every bit as worthy as its predecessors in combating frizz and leaving you with sleek shine through and through; yet features a supremely girly touch courtesy of le hot orchid pink hue (a fabulous shade seen all over the SS 2011 runways), which plays peek-a-boo beneath a luscious, black, rose-adorned lace – an exquisite aspect that need not reside solely in your bathroom, as the decadent design is splayed out upon a clutch bag that works just as well for glamorous girls night’s out as it does as a carrying case for the glorious hair utensil.

But I digress. Vibrant pink plates and charming clutch aside, it is the “$20.00 donation to the National Breast Cancer Foundation & the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation” with every purchase that makes it all worthwhile, as every use is a lasting reminder of the part you are playing in furthering the research towards finding a cure.

Go ahead my pretties; pink up your life!

♥Reading: Epic Fail by Claire LaZebnik. Ladies Beware: Regardless of how moody Mr. Derek Edwards is, you will find yourself swooning over him in the very same fashion as you do Jane Austen’s Mr. Darcy. It is, after all, a modern re-telling of Pride and Prejudice. Just sayin’.

♥Glamourizing: Nails: OPI It’s My Year from the Miss Universe 2011 Collection. Lips: mark Pro Gloss Hook Up Plumping Lip Shine in Sexy. Eyes: mark I-Mark Custom Pick Eye Shadow in Fairy Dust.

♥Listening: Mad World - Gary Jules. One part brooding + one part somber + one part romantic = a melting pot of pure beauty. Ecouter tout de suite, mes amours!

♥Adoring: Iosselliani. The union of mixed metals, unlikely texture combinations, and haphazard aesthetics is so incredibly unexpected that it can only be described in one way…unforgettable. I am currently obsessing over the Fused Ring in Gold, Cornelian & Turquoise Bangle Set in Gold/Turquoise, and the Fused Stone Earrings in Turquoise. Salut, je vous adore! Charming carryalls trimmed not in diamonds, rhinestones, gold, or pearls; rather, fabulous fringe that shimmies flirtily with every single step one takes! Coveting…Foley + Corinna’s Tassel Fringe Cross Body Bag in Redwood, and JJ Winters’ Small Fringe Bag in Grey, Taupe, et Black. Good things come in small packages – and multiples, mais oui? Sheer blouses which transform pretty underthings from an optional to a decadent essential a la Thakoon’s Long Sleeve Blouse, Rebecca Minkoff’s Kate Leopard Blouse, and Equipment’s Sisley Blouse. Le sigh.

♥Watching: Eloise at Christmastime. Let’s be honest, shall we darlings? Christmas is four months away; it is high time that we begin preparing for the holiday season, and there is no better way to do so than with the assistance of le ultra-precocious Eloise.

♥Desiring: Rebecca Minkoff I Heart Boys, Shoes & Bags Cory Pouch in Blood Red. Apparently Ms. Minkoff has tapped into my inner psyche and scrawled my three loves in saucy script upon this petite pouch. Obviously it needs to make its way into my accessory collection tout de suite! Plush Legwarmer Leggings in Black/Grey. One year later and I am still lusting after these lovelies. Perhaps it’s a sign that I should finally make them mine, mais oui? Marc by Marc Jacobs High Heel Tall Boots in Brick. MJ brings new meaning to the lyrics “she’s a brick…house,” vous ne pensez pas? Could it be that, for 2011, brick is the new black? Aimer l'amour!

♥Quoting: Unknown - “The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word, then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation that you ever had.”

♥Awaiting: Forever 21 I’m With the Band Slub Top in Cream/Black. The juxtaposition between effortless glamour and just a smidgen of nineties-inspired grunge is perfection, n'est-ce pas?

But enough about moi; let’s talk about…vous. Time to give me the lowdown on your life, lovers! What are you up to this week?

Tightwad Tuesday: Christian Louboutin Clou Noeud 150 Studded Slingback for a Steal

My loves, to the left prepare to swoon over Christian Louboutin’s classy Clou Noeud 150 Studded Slingbacks – the very same ones seen on Dakota Fanning, Jennifer Lopez, Heidi Klum, and Kim Kardashian; to the right, take a peek at N.Y.L.A.’s ultra-glamorous Genevieve Slingback.

While the N.Y.L.A. stunners lack the cherry red sole so prominently displayed on the luscious Loubies; for a mere $104.95, as opposed to the $1195.00 required to add the charming Clou Noeud 150 Studded Slingback’s to your wardrobe, they are a wondrous way for the frugalista to snag a little Loubie style – at a price that allows one to indulge in not one, not two, but all three haute hues (Nude, Red Patent, and Black)!

Sunday Steals: Chloe Elah Leather Sandals for Less

Lovers, in the left corner you will find Chloe’s elegant Elah Leather Sandals; in the right corner cast your glamorous gaze upon Pour La Victoire’s magical Macbeth Flat Sandals.

Though the Pour La Victoire pretties feature buttoned crisscross straps as opposed to the buckled crisscross straps of their couture counterparts; for just $135.80, in comparison to the $415.00 required to take the charming Chloe’s home, they are the perfect compromise for the cheap chica – and an adorable addition to one’s shoe collection!

G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S Giveaway

Darlings, a wise woman named Lilly Dache once said, “Glamour is what makes a man ask for your telephone number. But it also is what makes a woman ask for the name of your dressmaker.” Therefore, doing everything in our power to effuse effortless glamour in anything we do – be it breaking the news to our BFF about her fashion faux pas or simply being the coolest party guest at a chic soiree – is a given. Learning the rules of such a tantalizing topic, however, can oftentimes be a difficult task – one that two (2) of you aspiring glamazons will soon have the answers to.

Surprise, surprise, mes amours! Café Fashionista has teamed up with Scholastic Inc. to bring two (2) ravishing readers their very own copy of Sally Jeffrie’s The Girls’ Book of Glamour: A Guide to Being a Goddess - a charming, pretty in pink manual featuring whimsical illustrations by Nellie Ryan, which accompany such ultra-glam topics as How to Air-Kiss and How to Bathe Like Cleopatra to How to Look (and Feel) Perky When You’re Feeling Tired and How to Tell What the Shape of Your Lipstick Means!
