Ashish ‘Same Old Chic’ sequin top
January 29, 2010 by Ehmonie Hainey · Leave a Comment
Sometimes you turn the pages of your favorite fashion magazine and there it is - the same old chic.
Luckily, Ashish turned this brilliant catchphrase into an even more brilliant top.
Made of 100% silk, this stylish short-sleeved top features black sequins emblazoned across the front, in the form of text which reads ‘Same Old Chic’. A zip fastening goes down the back. It hits just at the hips so your can wear and pair with leggings or a miniskirt. Or however you like.
We just love fashion that tells it like it is.

What’s Haute Magazine is in love with a little stud - the Be & D Memphis Stud Stirrup boots!
Hey there little stud: the Be & D Memphis Stud Stirrup boots
January 26, 2010 by Ehmonie Hainey · 4 Comments
In a sea of knee-high riding boots, over-the-knee boots, and tall Wellies, the ankle boot seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle. Thankfully, Be & D came to the rescue with a darling mini riding boot that’s quite the stud.
The BE & D Memphis Stud Harness Boots combine the equestrian-inspired riding boot in a petite size with the brilliance of Be & D’s design. The brand that became famous for their super-studded Garbo bags has reached into its stud stash to drizzle a little onto their boots. These pull-on boots are made of chocolate (and black) pebbled leather, have a slouchy shaft and a sprinkle of nickel pyramid studs provides a punk appeal. The 1″ stacked heel gives just enough height with an ultra-glam metallic leather sole.

Spring shoes and accessories at Nine West
January 25, 2010 by Ehmonie Hainey · 1 Comment
I recently had the chance to get up close and personal with Nine West, to take a first look at the Spring 2010 shoes and accessories collection and chat with Creative Director, Fred Allard. I’ve been a huge fan of Nine West for as long as I can remember - the on-trend yet classic designs, the fabulous fit, and the affordable prices. There are some Nine West shoes in my closet which I’ve had for almost 15 years now and they’re still looking and feeling pretty good! Nine West creates shoes that are truly long-lasting, in terms of both the construction and durability and the classic colors and designs that never go out of style. And the trend continues for Spring ‘10. The beauty of Nine West is that each of its collections offer something for every woman - all ages, every foot type, every shoe style, etc.
The Spring collection consists of a wide array of styles, from heels to flats, wedges to stilettos, lace-ups to strappy sandals. There are bows for the girly girl, studs for the edgy chick, shoes for work, shoes for play and sandals for lounging. The collection also includes a wide range of handbags, both leather and PVC. Bag styles range from feminine ruffle chain bags to pastel and metallic hobos, as well as suede and leather totes.
Do you see anything that you’ll be snapping up for Spring? Click here to shop all of the Spring shoes, handbags and accessories at Nine West!
On the fringe: the ‘Saloon’ fringe hobo by Elle Nicole
January 25, 2010 by Ehmonie Hainey · Leave a Comment
You may have tried to embrace the fringe trend but found it to look a little more frumpy than fashionable. Fringe bags can easily go the way of forest creature. But among the losers, there’s a winner on the fringe.
Danielle Nicole designs fashionable, supple leather bags and her newest one is fashionably fringe-y. The ‘Saloon‘ is a sleek hobo from her lower-priced line, Elle Nicole. The bag features a soft leather body with fringe exterior, hanging from the strap to the bottom. Pulled taut, rather than hanging loose, this fringe stays in line while still giving the bag that oh-so-boho vibe. And the vibrant orchid (purple) hue gives it a glam factor that other fringe bags just can’t match.
Get your fringe on for $95 at Danielle Nicole.
