A quick look at what to expect from Juicy Couture handbags next spring. Loving the textures shredded rope knot details!

What are your first impressions?

Last weekend, Captain Morgan hosted a party at Haze nightclub in Aria Las Vegas, welcoming Victoria’s Secret supermodel Marisa Miller as his new First Mate. Thanks to my new job (working with the Captain Morgan brand), I was lucky enough to attend in person. It was my first time meeting the Captain and I was blown away by his ability to take command of the entire club – life of the party wherever he goes. Marisa was stunning and sweet, wearing a slick and sparkly Herve Leger bodycon mini dress and Rock & Republic shoes.

At the party, the duo unveiled the “Welcome to the Captain’s World” video, where Marisa rocks her sword fighting skills. Check it out after the jump! Read the rest of this entry »

I had the delight of stopping by the delicious Juicy Couture showroom last week to scope out the holiday 2010 collection. In short, they found a new way to keep sequins fresh by mixing with quilted leather, made playful polka dots look edgy and expensive and thanks to a few special clutches, I’m now fully on board the velvet wagon (before I was iffy, with one foot on the ground).

During the visit, I got to sit down with Juicy Couture handbag designer, Kirsten Schwinn (she tweets!). She walked me through her inspiration or “mood” board for the collection (pictured), which was probably my favorite part. It’s always exciting peeking inside creative minds to see how they translate inspiration to concept to final product!

While I loved a lot of the bags and jewelry, there is one piece I can’t stop thinking about - a mustard yellow, velour clutch with a gold chain shoulder strap and a giant bow built into the design (subtle, but lovely). It comes in navy too!

The holiday collection launched a few days ago and will be available at most Juicy retailers soon, if not already. Check out more photos after the jump… Read the rest of this entry »

As some of you know, I’ve always been a sucker for coupon codes and instant dicsounts, especially if there is something warm and fuzzy attached. Well… Gap is launching a new program tomorrow (October 6) that essentially gives you 30% off new Gap 1969 blues by bringing in your old jeans, which they will then recycle to insultate houses! Check out the video above to get an idea. Talk about  “warm and fuzzy!”  

It gets better! Facebook fans get an additional 10% of. If you do the math, that’s 40% off total from $69.50…you pay $41.70 plus tax, saving almost $30. My two favs from the denim collection are the dark Vintage Flare and dark Forever Skinny.

The campaign ends on October 20.
