The hunt for cute boots is on!

It’s boot season….and if you’ve been keeping up with me on twitter my favorite pair of black boot suffered a zipper related tragedy the other day. It broke and I blamed the most recent eclipse with a shake of my fist skyward but as powerful as that shake was it wasn’t enough to repair my boots or keep my feet warm. So I took the the internet to see what some of my shoe options are. The following are 3 pairs of boots from my first day of cute boot hunting! (more…)

4 Designer Dresses to help you Simplfy for the Holidays


The holidays are officially here! That means its time to get ready for lots of parties which in turn means its time to shop for designer dresses! I know that typically as soon as someone utters the word “party” lots of  women make a mad dash for the sparkliest or shiniest dress they can find.  But this year I propose something different, why not simplify for the holidays instead? I’m not saying forgo all things that sparkle, I am merely suggesting instead of trying to shine brighter than the Christmas tree itself , let your stylish restraint speak for itself . Of course I would accessorize wisely with each dress I’ve show above. Holiday parties are a good time to bring out the fancy or exotic jewelry that might be too much for everyday (or too expensive), now is the time for the perfect statement piece! (more…)

NY EVENT: Vivian Maier – Street Photographer Book Release Event with Slideshow Presentation and Q&A with John Maloof 11-18-11


Vivian Maier is street photography’s best kept secret. She was a nanny in Chicago from the mid 1950s to 1990s who always carried along a camera on her days off. Her work would have gone unnoticed if it weren’t for a discovery by John Maloof who happened to buy a box of negatives from a Chicago flea market. Once Maloof started viewing these negative he was compelled to find out more and since then he has been on the search for more information on the woman behind the lens. From what I can gather without seeing this book Vivian was a feminist, with a love of theater who also happened to be blunt and very opinionated, a total Fashionisgreat woman! (more…)

There’s an estate sale this weekend at the New York home of handbag designer’s Kathy Van Zeeland and Bruce Makowsky

This weekend New Yorkers will have the chance to purchase items from the Estate of the Van Zeeland and Makowsky. Kathy Van Zeeland is not what I would call a high end handbag designer but her work is certainly widely available being carried by the likes of Macy’s and QVC to name few. Prior to hearing about this sale I had no idea she was married to fellow handbag designer Bruce Makowsky of B.Makowsky which is also sold in Macy’s and QVC. I am not a huge fan of either brands but I am huge fan of all the cool stuff in their house! Judging from the pictures on the full of surprises website there will be lots of fine antiques, furniture and plenty of handbags up for grabs. There are also two Mercedes and a Mini Cooper that will be for sale.  I hope to make it out to this sale, I almost didn’t want to mention it on here I wanted to keep Full of Surprizes estate sales to myself but I just can’t pass up a good fashion story!

Love your feet with Kushyfoot!

As a working girl, college student, with internship duties how does a girl stay stylish and comfortable at the same time? Searching for a fashion product that offers style and comfort can be hard. Kushyfoot made this possible; I just slipped their nude super ultra low cut socks before putting on my Marc Jacobs flats. I was able to go from one destination to the next without any strain or pain in my feet thanks to Kushyfoot. There are cushions on the area where the balls of your feet rest and also where your heels are built into the sock. This combination creates a sort of massage therapy in the feet problem areas. Talk about the best idea ever for all the fabulous busy women out there! These cute little socks also come in black. You can find these socks along with other footwear essentials on the Kushyfoot website http://www.kushyfoot.com/.
