I'm looking for the perfect: Loafers

As much as I love to dress up and wearing heels, I think heels should only be used strictly from the car/taxi to the event.  During the day, to walk around town flat shoes is my only option.  I'm very into the tomboy kind of look lately.  I know, I'm fashion-experimenting.  Still.  These cute loafers are to live by.  In pair from top, from left to right: Opening Ceremony, Collete, Jimmy Choo, Etsy, Valentino, Charles Philip, Dieppa Restrepo.

I'm looking for: The right bag

I'm done with buying bags that are too heavy just because they look good or from a specific brand. My back is after all the one suffering and consequently my mood is not at its best. Many of my bags are heavy even when empty and that's because the leather is too tick.  From now on the first quality I'll be looking for in a bag is its weight. 
I also appreciate flexibility in anything I buy and all these bags do it for me.  I can carry them either on my shoulder, arm or hand.  The price also makes sense to me.

I'm looking for: The It Bag: Satchel

Above, Phillip Lim Pashli Satchel, which looks to me, like the cuter and sweeter sister of Celine Luggage Bag tote.   Celine's is a little more formal looking and more expensive than Phillip Lim's but they are both equally pretty and chic.  Enjoy!

I'm looking for a non-tailored coat

The cold weather is in full bloom and I happen to be looking for a coat.  Now that magazines are introducing their Spring collection and many people are already buying them I'd rather think of a non-tailored coat.  I'm a little bit tired of tailored coats or tailored clothes in general for that matter, they seem to me a little passe right now and more office-like than I prefer.  Frankly, I don't want to look like I just came out of work.  Besides, coats that are not too fitted and tight seem to be a lot more modern and comfortable but still classic.

Giovanna Battaglia seems to agree with me, above and below.

I found these very unique coats at very reasonable prices.  Enjoy! Clockwise from top left, at Tenoversix,  a winter white coat that would look great with a thin belt at La Garconne, bottom right at The Remedi and last one at Marni.

The Best Party Dresses Under 500 and Party Weekend

Get your sequined dresses out of that attic box, shake them up and line them up because The Holidays  are fast approaching and so do the festive hearts.  You didn't think there was something else good enough to match up Christmas magic... Leave it to the sparkle of sequins to set the mood in any party if not to make anyone look prettier.  So a camera in one hand and a flute of bubbles in the other one-  live on!   Until then, have a very Festive Weekend!
