Goldsign Treo Jeans

by grechen on March 14, 2008 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

Okay, first, I’m going to try to refrain from ANY bag posts for ONE WEEK. I know, I’ve gone a little overboard recently, but I am simply obsessed with handbags. Mostly, I am just inexplicably drawn to them, but also, I truly believe that the right/wrong bag can make or break an outfit. I’m not saying the bag has to be expensive, or a designer name; I am of the opinion that a bag needs to be proportionate to your body size/type, and functional for your lifestyle. Then again, I do believe that a bag should be an investment. You wear different clothes everyday, but carry the same bag. If you do carry the same bag every day for years, you should invest a substantial amount of money in exceptional quality, and a timeless style that you will love every day you carry it.

Anyway, enough said. I realize not all of you are bag whores like me, so I’ll get back to posting more clothes/shoes/random stuff and give the bags a break for a while…well, a week anyway.

I also love jeans. Which is a significant problem because I can’t fit into most jeans. Except Goldsign. Since my first pair three years ago, I’ve been a devotee, and for good reason; they fit my body. Most (not all) Goldsign jeans are made to fit curves, and they fit my small waist, large hips/thighs beautifully. My latest pair, the Leia Wideleg jean, is so fabulous I want to wear them all the time. But I can’t. So I purchased these today from Tobi:

Goldsign Treo High Waisted Wide Leg Jeans

I cannot wait for jeans to go on sale, or even a few days after I see them…my size (32) is ALWAYS gone within a day or two of the jeans showing up on the site. And, since I have chunky thighs/calves, wide leg jeans are PERFECT for me, so I need to collect all the pairs I can for when we go through another skinny/tight jeans phase! I will always wear my wide legs!!

Get them at Tobi.com for 10% off with code GRECHEN10.

Look for the review soon!!

Iwona Ludyga Designs

by grechen on January 22, 2008 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

I am stuck in a jewelry rut. I don’t wear much, but what I do wear, I leave on for weeks. I love the pieces, but I haven’t had any new jewelry for several months and I’m jonesing for something!! Most of all, I would love a simple bracelet I can wear all the time (never take off). I had a sterling charm bracelet by Giles & Brother that I loved, but it broke (grrrr) and I haven’t found one I liked as much to replace it…until now. In fact, I’d love to have all of Iwona Ludyga’s designs, but my favorite pieces are the bracelets at the moment…

Anzevino & Florence

by grechen on September 19, 2007 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

Anzevino & Florence is not a new designer necessarily, especially if you’re more into ‘street’ fashion, but many of the pieces aren’t very wearable in an everyday work-a-day world. This season, however, I’m seeing more and more interesting, but workable pieces.

80′s Purple has a great selection:

Check out the Designer Directory for more places online to buy Anzevino & Florence.

Tobi.com has a code for 10% off: 10GRECHEN and has two of my favorite pieces:
