Lux Must: Alice + Olivia Sequin Leggings

I MUST HAVE THESE! This will be my one expensive buy of 2008. I don’t just want these, but I don’t think there is anyway I can go on living without them. Anyone who knows me, or has seen me blog on other sites know that I have sort of an “issue” (addiction) with sequins. Sequins make my eyes light up like a kid on Christmas. I first saw the sequin legging on Victoria Beckham when the Spice Girls announced their reunion. Soon after I was on the prowl for them then, but couldn’t find them for the life of me. Flash forward to 2008 and I find that not only do they have them there in a variety of place. Alexander McQueen has some at Bergdorf Goodman (out of my price range), Ralph Lauren has some at Saks ( still out of my price range), and then the pair I could have had the reasonably priced, but sold by Alice + Olivia for HSN (pictured) leggings which are over 10 times less than McQueen and Lauren’s. I’ll keep you posted if they become available.

P.S. Pay no attention to the horrible styling, it is from the HSN site you know.

Cute Collabos: Designers for Payless

photo cred: Payless Shoesource

I have to give credit where credit is due, props to Payless Shoesouce for taking a cue from Target and H&M by introducing designer lines from the likes of Lela Rose and Abaete. This is a huge jump from a company who got “celebrity cred” from Star Jones Reynolds. I’m currently kind of in “like” with the Alice +Olivia for Payless line it definitely exudes the girly, fun, flirty and always on trend styles that designer and Alice + Olivia creator Stacey Bendet brings to her pricey clothing line. I already placed my order for the Louisa Ballet Flat (pictured) and I’ll let you know how cute they look on me! With prices for all three lines ranging from $ 25-$ 40 dollars and also include sunglasses, watches, and handbags it can’t hurt to trot on down to your nearest Payless Shoesource or at least check some out online.
