OPULENT OBSESSIONS

KNIT YOUR WAY INTO MY HEART

Crochet has been making a very large statement this season. All of our summer essentials are being dipped in this delicate knit lace, from tops, to shoes to belts and even jewelry. But this is not your traditional crochet that grandma use to make quilts and pillows out of, though the handmade quality and intricate patterns remain the same. The new Crochet has that feminine, sexy, demure look. I cannot get enough...

Here are some of my Opulent Obsessions

I pretty much never wear sneakers except to the GYM, however a couple of my favorite designers have been making me somewhat change up my feminine aesthetic.

SNOBS the following are really created just for you... They all are uber chic and are standalone pieces. Most importantly comfortable, and utterly wearable.

Spring Fragrances Sprung on you

Spring has definitely sprung here in NYC. The sun is shining, the pigeons are back, and that fog from traffic is just barely thickening the air. Mmmmm Spring! Cherry Blossom Trees, Polka dots and stripes, espadrilles, head bands and tulips growing in front of my apt. building all put me in the mood for perfect days to just walk around visiting small boutiques, eating at outdoor restaurants, or just sitting in the park reading my favorite book or magazine. Finally its here!

When seasons change so should you, these fragrance's are sure to make you feel and smell just as sweet as the mood spring puts you in. All have that hint of floral so whether you like it subtle or bold SNOBEFFECT approves the scents that will always keep you smelling like a perfectly picked petal. Some are old classics I'm sure you'll love and others are new favorites from Spring Collection 2011.

Sunglasses block the suns glare or make people stare?

Sunglasses have always been a major fashion statement us SNOBS never leave home without them. From the way we hold them, to the case we carry them in, to the way we adjust them on our face both pointer and thumb firmly squeezed together slightly raising the brim of our eyewear. No smudges, No figerprints, just enhanced style. When Im earing my glasses I just walk with my head extra high nose & chin slightly tilted up! Giving everyone a Good Look  :) You know how we do!

  Here are some that made the cut.

Tribeca Film Festival 2011

The Tribeca Film festival takes places annually in NYC Lower Manhattan district though celebration of film, music, and culture. Taking Place from April 20th - May 1st  various big wigs in the entertainment & film industry come to support the cause which was Founded in 2002 by actor Robert De Niro following the attacks of the World Trade Center (9/11). With intentions of rebuilding the economic growth of NYC this event has increasingly become one of the greatest cultural diffusions through the expression art and entertainment.

General Admission to some events are free and film screenings will cost you roughly, a measly $8-$16. Which we spend buying One Essie nail polish at Duane Reade's or our daily Caffeine fix at Starbucks my Favorite Frap Java Chip Grande with whip & caramel drizzle on top!
I encourage all New Yorkers to attend its a MUST GO TO Event http://www.tribecafilm.com/

OPULENT OBSESSIONS

STUD SPIKES AND BLING

SHOES a woman's best enemy! 

As High as they are, uncomfortable at times, that tipsy topsy turvey feeling we get, ability to sculpt the leg to the point where I feel like I'm exercising, however we cannot keep our manicured toes out of them. Shoes are an imperative accessory to making your outfit unique to your individual style, because I'm so over the top I've took on an excessive liking to swarovski crystal's and spikes on shoes! Here are some of my OPuLeNT ObseSSioNS.... 

Alexander McQueens "Armadillo Shoes"

Gianmarco Lorenzi Cystal Platform Pump 

Sam Edelman Pumps "Lorissa"
