Musings of a City Girl

I did a Luxe Obsession post on the CC Skye accessories brand a few weeks ago so you can imagine my excitement when I heard that Gilt Fuse was having a CC Skye sale. Squeal!

The CC Skye Jewelry and the CC Skye Handbag sale are live now! The sales end on October 10th, 2009 at midnight EST. If you love CC Skye head over to Gilt Fuse now to get your hands on the item(s) you want before they sell out. I picked up a set of 2 Enamel Stud Bangles and the Nana Bangle for approximately 70% off retail price. Bananas!

It seems like I’m more obsessed with accessories than any other thing in fashion. Coach is another accessories brand that I love. I used to rock the Coach sneakers with the matching wristlet a few years back. I still have my small Coach bag in black in the signature Coach print that I purchased in high school.

Coach handbags are worth the money because Coach is one of those brands that offers exceptional quality and lasts forever (in my opinion of course).

Check out the handbags I’ve been daydreaming about recently:

Groovy Handbag 

Style/Color: Black (more colors avail.)

Retail Price: $198

Magazine Tote

Style/Color: Black (more colors avail.)

Retail Price: $478

Poppy Swingpack

Style/Color: Black (more colors avail.)

Retail Price: $128

Sequin Spotlight

Style/Color: Silver

Retail Price: $398

That Magazine Tote would be the perfect work handbag. Are you a Coach fan?

House of Harlow 1960 is another accessories brand that I like to muse about. The line of jewelry is American pop culture icon Nicole Richie’s creation. I like the mix of bohemian style and the streets while still looking chic.

Resin Triangle Necklace

Welcome to the first installment of Luxe Obsessions. It is a spotlight on brands that I love but would certainly break my bank.

I am an accessories junkie. Accessories brand CC Skye is a celebrity favorite (Hilary Duff, Lauren Conrad, Rihanna, and Kim Kardashian to name a few fans) and their items are often featured in a variety of magazines. I am a fan of their modern and art deco infused style (it reminds me of Miami, one of my favorite cities).

Here are a few of my favorites:

Enamel Deco Bangle 

Style/Color: Monaco Purple (more colors/styles avail.)

Retail Price: $150

Enamel Deco Bangle

Style/Color: Soho White (more colors/styles avail.)

Retail Price: $150

Biker Chain Bangles

Retail Price: $110

The shoe equivalent of my MAC addiction would be Steve Madden. I love their large selection of shoes that are stylish and are great quality. From embellishments to brights to basics Steve Madden always has me covered.

The shoes I’ve been musing on recently:

Raccer

With so many gold accessories I need a pair of gold sandals for nights out in the city. The platforms on these sandals make the heels a lot more comfortable.

Soya

The zipper detailing on these sandals make these sandals stand out.

Tayla

I love anything with ankle straps so these shoes landed on my wish list right away. Sexy!
