Savvy Socialite » work & money

I love, love, love classic custom clothing. April Marin rocks at providing quality custom dresses for women at at affordable prices(as low as $130) I can so see myself at a meeting with one of these fabulous looks. The bonus is that I know that the dress was made to fit perfectly. No more sagging in the middle or too tight fits around the bust and the bottom (I have a womanly shape ) and even better; they have an assortment of fabric and lining colors to choose from. I personally like the grey and pink combo or a classic navy with green; either way you choose your look you’ll definitely have plenty of fun putting it together.

can’t shop luxe? try shop lush.

Hollywood — Wed, 16 May 2007 23:50:41 +0000

Our shoulders crave the rich butter soft leather of luxury handbagsÂ and totes to accent them perfectly but, sometimes our wallets decline our choices. Imagine my delight when I came across Shop Lush; a online store focused on providing the luxe handbags for less than a full weave. They even use real leather for their bags; try finding that at anywhere for under $200.

These are my favorite 9 under $99.99 (1st row: $59.99, $79.99, $69.99; 2nd row: $79.99, $59.99, $79.99; 3rd row: $59.99, $79.99, $39.99)

laptops need luxe too.

Hollywood — Wed, 04 Apr 2007 21:31:48 +0000

Hair. Steppin’ Out Hair Studio.

Makeup. M.A.C.

Outfit. Diane.

Shoes. Jimmy.

Handbag. Botkier.

Laptop Bag. uhhhh, laptop bag??!??!!

Don’t you just hate having the perfect work look ruined because of a less than perfect choice in a laptop bag. I mean do we really want to lug around a bulky, cumbersome, ergonomically correct but, visually offensive, bag of any type let alone one that is a necessity.

Yeah, yeah, yeah I know they think that function is more important than fashion but, true savvynista’s (yes, I just made that up) believe in having their cake and eating it, too. So, imagine my surprise when I find this fabulous designer on esty.com that understands that fashion + function = fabulous.

Flicka Bags, are ergonomically correct laptop sleeves, that are waterproof, and customizable to fit your specific laptop, with or without straps and handles. They are also compact enough to be used in your messenger, briefcase, backpack, or my favorite, alone (what can I say, I like to show off my creative side).

Check out some of my favorites:

(from the top: Cabana, Lime Twist, MOMA, Kaleidoscope, Cinnamon Twist, and Evangelia)

These bags will definitely set you apart from the sea of boring black bags and the best part is that these bags are priced between $40 and $50, I am soooooo getting them!

For more information on Flicka, checkout www.flickaalice.etsy.com.

how divas do dishes.

Hollywood — Fri, 23 Mar 2007 02:44:31 +0000

Whoever said that housework wasn’t meant to be glamorous, obviously never met a Savvy Socialite.

As you very well know, none of us revel in the idea of manual labor and we would rather call Merry Maids before sweating out our hair and breaking a nail trying to scrub out the details of last nights dinner. I know you’re only putting them into the dishwasher but, why not do that with an over the top fabness that only a true diva would love.

My Grandmother Liz always said, “Why waste time cleaning, when you have important things to attend to my dear.”; which is why she’s always hired help. But, maybe if Grandmother Liz had these cute gloves she might have spent a little time actually washing dishes orÂ in her case,Â looking cute pretending. I mean it’s a full-time job in itself staying at the top, so why not maintain your diva status while busting a little suds?

So, ahead and toss out those big yellow galosh-like dish gloves (that’s no way for your hands to be seen my dear) and protect your manicure while preserving your sexy.

For more information about these designer dish gloves and other cute items for home, visit www.thespoonsisters.com .

Price: $35
