A Case for Style

Lovers, let’s be honest…no one can resist a good mystery – especially one of the fashion variety. A game of cat and mouse which leads us to the perfect pair of nude pumps; a haute session of hide and seek wherein the hidden gem is not our beloved BFF, but rather a sublime pair of floor-skimming wide leg jeans; or, in regards to today’s chic challenge, a search for a charming case to stow our techie treasures (a la Kindle’s, Laptops, MacBook’s, and iPad’s) within – like the very ones that Caseable creates for your carrying pleasure.

You guessed it, dolls! Café Fashionista has teamed up with Caseable, “…a Brooklyn and Berlin based company, offering fully customizable handmade protective sleeves for your laptop, MacBook, iPad or Kindle,” to bring one (1) savvy stylista a $60.00 Gift Certificate good towards creating your dream case!

With Caseable “You have full control over the entire design process via our easy-to-use customization tool. With the ability to decide on details ranging from thread choice to case color, your possibilities are endless! Whether you want a fashion statement, your own photography, or your company logo - you are the designer. We also present a wide range of pre-made designs for those who prefer appreciating art rather than creating it.”

♥Reading: Peach Cobbler Murder by Joanne Fluke. It is magically delicious. And the best part? No calories! Lecture. Maintenant.

♥Glamourizing: Nails: OPI Lincoln Park After Dark. Oui, I’m in a vampy mood this week! Lips: mark Glow Baby Glow Hook Up Lip Gloss in Sweet Talk. Eyes: mark Mini Mark It Stick Hook Up Stick for Eyes in Cocoa Bean.

♥Listening: Boy Like You by Ke$ha (feat. Ashley Tisdale).

♥Adoring: Booties that draw inspiration from true hiking boots to add a rugged touch to any and all refined styles a la Boutique 9’s Barrow Alpine Booties, See by Chloe’s 3 Buckle Booties, and Steven’s Whit High Heel Combat Booties. The wonderful world of...Wildfox. The Route 66 Tee, the Outlaw Nevada Pullover, the I’ll Keep You Warm Sweater. ‘Tis le quintessential way to add a playful touch to one’s look du jour. Aimer l'amour! American Apparel’s Silky Romper. Perfect for topping a teeny-tiny bikini for a day at the beach, pairing with sky-high wedges for a mid-afternoon shopping excursion with the girls, or merely lounging about the house in for those unexpected calls from cute boys. I’ll take an XS in Coral, Peacock, Crème, and Black s'il vous plait!

♥Watching: Serendipity. Le sigh. Now I am wishing for Christmas in New York.

♥Desiring: Schutz Amanda Oxford Booties. These would make for the perfect companion to oversized chunky knits and flippy minis come fall, n'est-ce pas? I humbly request a Size 6 in both le tantalizing Taupe et the blissful Black. Aimer au dixième pouvoir! Rachel Pally Leighton Top in Brown Viking. There is nothing so seductive, yet oh-so sophisticated, as an elegantly exposed shoulder, mais oui? Swoon! Alice + Olivia Fierra T Back Dress in Cobalt Blue. The V neck, the T back, the electrifying hue…it is all sorts of fabulosity wrapped into one daring form of frippery. Besoin. Adorer. Amour.

♥Quoting: Marilyn Monroe - “If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything.”

♥Awaiting: Forever 21 Whiskered Skinny Jeans in Denim. Denim is my weakness. That is all.

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: Kate Spade New York Charm Heel on the Cheap

Mon doux, to the left feast your eyes upon Kate Spade New York’s ultra-covetable Charm Heel in Platinum Glitter/Gold Liquid; to the right take a gander at J. Renee’s ravishing Rosina in Gold Glitter Fabric.

While the Rosina dazzlers sport a slightly lower heel (2 ½”) than that of Kate Spade’s chic Charm (3 ½”); for a mere $79.95, in comparison to the $325.00 needed to add Spade’s sparklers to your shoe collection, they are every bit as capable of causing a shimmering stir with your many admirers – at a price that allows one to scoop up all three haute hues (Gold Glitter Fabric, Multi Glitter Fabric, and Silver Glitter Fabric)!

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?


Fashionably yours!
