From Our Closet


I know some of you out there are in denial like I am, but the Holiday season is right around the corner. Let's not wait til the last minute to get that Holiday shopping out of the way. And you already know what it's like in the stores, starting like NOW. So why leave home? I have something for everyone in the Couture Cult store, and every single item I offer is at the LOWEST PRICE I COULD FIND ONLINE! I did the footwork so YOU dont have to.

One of my favorite finds was this amazing Diane von Furstenberg Sexy Metal 16in. Carry On Satchel, which retails at $225.00, but that I found for you at just $134.95! Even better though, if you order today only, you will receive an additional 10% off, paying only $121.46, so you save 46%!

It is available in both Pewter and Bronze. You can see both colors on the page redirect in the store, but here are some images of it in Pewter, my personal favorite!





The bag also comes with a 10 year warranty. Definitely a gift that keeps on giving, in a hip style that would be good for ANY fashion forward woman!

I dont know about you, but I find it impossible to shop for men! I find it best to stick with classics, by good labels. No man wont love to look designer dressed, they just dont always take the initiative to do it on their own! So how about this Oscar de la Renta charcoal brown 3-button suit? Why get just the shirt when you can get the entire suit for even less? Regularly priced at $395.00, we are offering it for only $179.99! That means you save $215.01 (54%)!

In a brown wool that's so dark it almost looks black, this impeccably tailored suit from Oscar de la Renta exudes power and stature. It's a good choice for the man who's an executive or on the fast track.

From Our Closet: Marc Jacobs Black Stretch Gabardine Pants: 52% OFF!


As I said a few postings ago, I emptied out my online store to offer an entirely new selection of merchandise for fall/winter. Well it's starting to fill up again, and I just had to let you know! This is AMAZING:

These Marc Jacobs slacks retail at $168.00, however due to our relationship with the vendor, if you buy them from my online store, you can get them for only $79.99! It's true!

You'll command attention in these sharp, slightly boot cut style pants from American designer Marc Jacobs. They're crafted in stretch cotton and trimmed in gabardine. We have them available in a size 2 or 6!




Features:
Medium weight black stretch cotton gabardine pants with a twill weave from Marc Jacobs
99% cotton, 1% Lycra
Inseam measures 34"
Waistband with belt loops
Center front zipper with slide tab closure
Two (2) front angled pant pockets with black gabardine trim
Two (2) back welt pockets with single-button closures
Black gabardine trim down side seams
Slight boot cut
Care instructions: Machine wash cold, do not bleach, tumble dry low, low iron if needed
Imported

It's important to invest in quality basics, and these are sure to be of use to you throughout all seasons. Yet it hardly feels like an investment when you are spending less than $100 on them! Wear them with a blouse for work, or dress them up with a sexy top to take them into the night! These are cut to FIT YOU and have stretch for those area's where you have curves!

Make sure to browse through the rest of the store for more STEALS like this on only the FINEST names out there! I hand select EVERY item in the store, so you dont have to do the diggging for deals on your own time!

Visionaire No. 52: Private


So I just deleted everything from my online store because, of course, it's time for a new season! As I am browsing through merchandise, seeking out only the stuff worth looking at so that you, dear readers, don't have to... I happened upon this book. A few posts ago ("A New Look For Fall" on 09/15) I made a little slideshow of an editorial shoot I liked by the photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. The book, which I absolutely MUST have, is called Visionaire No. 52: Private... and is photohraphed by the same team! Even better though, is teaming THEM with Marc Jacobs himself as the Editor!! I just HAVE to see what such amazing photographer's will do with Marc Jacobs eye, and such interesting names involved as subjects. To love fashion and couture is to love photography as well. They are synonymous in an intangible kind of way. Just read what the Visionaire website has to say:

"Photographs by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott
Guest Editor Marc Jacobs
In collaboration with Louis Vuitton

PRIVATE comes as a book of photographs housed in an exclusive Louis Vuitton monogrammed case designed by Marc Jacobs. Photographers Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott with guest art director Marc Jacobs have collaborated on a series of personal portraits with sitters including Drew Barrymore, Scarlett Johansson, Selma Blair, Jennifer Lopez, Lil’ Kim, Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney, and Gisele Bundchen just to name a few.

PRIVATE is a limited edition of 2,500 numbered copies and retails for a starting price of $375. However, PRIVATE is included in a standard subscription to Visionaire at no additional charge. As with our past Louis Vuitton collaborations, we anticipate this issue selling out immediately after its public release in the November. We encourage you to pre-order now to guarantee your copy of Visionaire 52 PRIVATE.

Visionaire 52 PRIVATE is our third collaboration with Louis Vuitton, following the success of Visionaire 18 FASHION SPECIAL, now valued at $5,000, and Visionaire 30 THE GAME, now valued at $4,200 (per set of 7 countries). Concurrent with the release of PRIVATE, we are releasing a limited number of copies of 18. FASHION SPECIAL from our archive, previously withheld from sale."

I truly SWOON over things like this! I HAVE TO HAVE IT! The holidays are coming up! If someone would pre-order this for me I would simply DIE! Okay, enough begging. But if you want to pre-order this for YOURSELF (or me! lol) click on the image below! Can you believe how gorgeous this is? Seriously. Beautiful people, wearing beautiful fashion, photographed by beauty geniuses, wrapped up in beautiful Louis Vuitton! It's almost TOO BEAUTIFUL! This is something to treasure always. Okay. I'm stopping now.



If you buy this through my store, and are a Barnes & Noble Member, you will only pay $300.00, which is $75 off the lowest price! So make sure you choose the option with their logo. Meanwhile, I will let you know when the store is full of great new FINDS FOR FALL!
