LOVE*FASHION

I know this isn't fashion related, but I had to spread the word.  When I read that Susie Cakes had taken 1st place for their red velvet cupcake in the 2009 LA Cupcake Challenge, I couldn't believe my eyes!  How could they beat out my favorite red velvet cupcake at Sprinkles?  I got in my car right away and sped off to the nearest Susie Cakes in Newport Beach.  Wow!  I was surprised.  Creamy not too sweet cream cheese frosting with a homemade taste to it, light & fluffy red velvet cake with a rich cocoa smell.  Once again I'm in love!

If you're ever lucky enough to be in the area, there are 3 locations.  One in Newport Beach, LA/Brentwood & Calabasas!

Every day at 9 am pst I find myself logging onto Gilt to see the latest Designer releases at 50% off or more.  I really have to control my urge to spend.  However, I can't help but wonder how Gilt can offer these brands at such low prices.  A lot of the stuff released on the site, I still see in the stores at full price.  Hmmmm? Christian Louboutins at $298?

From the Alexander Wang Spring 09 collection.  How hot are these?  Excuse me while I wipe the drool from the side of my face!

Every winter, I search for a new coat & a new pair of boots.  Every summer, I look for a pair of sandals I can wear with just about it any outfit.  I found my pair at a little site called 80spurple.com.  I had never heard of the brand Muzina, but at $104 with free shipping and a 15% off coupon, it was worth a try.  My sandals arrived within a couple of days and I've been in love ever since.

I've been longing for the Prada Glace Folders Clutch since I first laid my eyes on it!  I searched repeatedly online for what I believe has been two years now since the release of the movie, Sex & the City.  So finally two weekends ago, I was at my local BCBG store and I saw a clutch that was reasonably priced and the leather so buttery soft.  I thought to myself "a good alternative!"  However, still longing for the Prada Clutch I left the store without it.  Later that day, I saw the same clutch on BCBG's site on sale for $114 plus free shipping.  How could I resist? Now I can finally leave my search for the Prada clutch to rest.
