The Fabulous net-a-porter!

How incredible is net-a-porter? I mean, half the "where to buy" captions of each months vogue and vanity direct you immediately to net-a-porter. Not to mention it updates with new buys every Monday and Wednesday making any fashionista as ADHD as myself extremely happy. And the designers, ooooh the designers! There are so many gorgeous expensive things at my fingertips once I'm there that my bank is already calling. Stella? Check. Louboutin? Check. Chloe? Check. Philip Lim? Check. Is anyone else flustered? And let me tell you, when net-a-porter cleans house, the deals are killer! I'll keep you posted as to when that happens- but for now let's look at some of their new listings that are drool worthy.


As a tribute to my painful addiction - my first photo posted must be of shoes. These Guiseppe shoes are crazy! Now, I don't know if I'd ever rock them because I think with my height and curvy frame it may come off a little hookerish - but I can totally see the fabulous LA girls pairing these with black skinny jeans and a casual top and it being hot. Whether you think these shoes are too much or not - they are certainly fierce. $750.


On the other hand, these
Loeffler Randall boots are classic, timeless and have such an undenible elegance. I love them. I am a high heel addict and hate most wedges, but the kitten heel sized wedge in the back is done beautifully. These shoes are what I picture a glamour girl relaxing in. $750

Known for creating incredible party pieces and repeated "who's that girl" stares - Is 3.1 Phillip
Lim. Both this dress, and vest scream cocktail chic perfect for any night where you want all eyes on you. Dress at $925, vest at $850.

Meow, La Perla. This bathing suit screams Bond sex kitten, doesn't it? It is old Hollywood glamour and I dig it. $560

Alexander McQueen is the mad scientist of fashion this year. Most fashion fanatics have by now seen his new line at Paris Fashion week, and if not - you must! It's wild. He mixed textures,
silhouettes and patterns with wild abandon and the result was genius. As the Associated press said "it was beauty transformed into ugliness and then back to beauty again". I love that description.
Anyways, net-a-porter has two of his new accessories on there (as well as many pieces) and I found both this belt and clutch striking. I love the geometric shape of the belt and think the smoke effect on the clutch is a great addition. Belt (left) at $825 and clutch (right) at $1,180.

Matthew Williamson is taking a color burst pattern and applying it to many different designs this season. From pattern covered bikini's to make up cases to clutches -it's clear he certainly loves this print. My personal favorite use of the pattern is on the "Bright Escape Cuff" - it's a bracelet that brings the right amount of color to any outfit missing an extra touch. $375.

Those damn twins have done it to me again! I love this trench to dress design. This dress transforms! It is a trench, dress and shrug (right) all in one! Elizabeth and James hit the nail on the head with this one, and at $595, that's not that bad, is it?

And finally, this Chloe romper is too cute! You can dress this up with accessories and killer shoes or just rock it casual with some gladiator flats and some big sunglasses. I bet my life that the young hollywood startlet's will be pretending to hate the papparazzi in this outfit very soon. $395
