Next Best Thing
The Look: Vanessa Hudgens Heels
Saturday, January 19th, 2008Ahhh, to be a young Hollywood debutante, constantly hounded by paparazzi as you try to get some darned shopping done. Alas, not all of us can be gorgeous, talented, and fashion-savvy all at the same time. So we’ll have to leave the starlet-ing to those more worthy, such as High School Musical star Vanessa […]
Next Best Thing: Moschino Cheap & Chic Leopard Print Shoes
Tuesday, January 8th, 2008Continuing with the spate of great NBT posts, we present these Moschino Cheap & Chic Leopard Print Shoes $237 (down from $395) at Net-A-Poter.com (pictured right). The flats trend is going nowhere soon, and why should it? So many comfortable styles in designs that are actually cute! I love it.
If Moschino is still […]
The Next Best Thing: Chloe Candbury Canvas Flats
Saturday, January 5th, 2008Even on half-price sale at Net-A-Porter, Chloe’s Candbury Canvas Flats (pictured left) might have too steep a pricetag for some ($232.50 down from $465). But they do suggest carefree days wrapped up in an ivory cardigan, traipsing from one casual New England social engagement to the next.
So how can you capture that same vibe for […]
The Next Best Thing: Vintage Train Case
Friday, December 28th, 2007Haven’t we all just gotten a little blase about air travel? And why not, right? Flights are uncomfortable, security is challenging, and who wants to be glamorous on a plane? Well, back in the day, air travel was nothing but the height of glamour and luxury. And wouldn’t you feel fabulous if all of […]
The Next Best Thing: Chloe Bay Bag
Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007The Chloe Bay Bag
I know, I want one too…
SIGH.
I’m not even going to slap the price up, because it may cause a reader to have an aneurysm, and we can’t have that.
However, how about the next best thing?
Love It!!!

The Next Best Thing: Steve Madden Quilted Peep-Toes
Wednesday, September 12th, 2007Quilted is in for Fall 2007 and will carry right over into Spring 2008. And why not? The pretty pattern evokes Chanel and all its ladylike, Parisian glory. Yet working this trend into the wardrobe can be costly. To wit:
Steven by Steve Madden Vykie Pump
$49.99 (Down from $99!) at Macy’s
Even on half-price sale, this may […]
The Next Best Thing: Nine West Solane T-Strap Wedges
Tuesday, August 14th, 2007Nine West is one of my favorite shoe brands, primarily because their shoes happen to fit me very well. Still, I can’t always rush out and buy every single one of their fabulous styles the second it hits the shelves (not for lack of wanting to). These shoes are fantastic, for example, the perfect […]
The Next Best Thing: Christian Louboutin Iowa Mary Janes

The Next Best Thing: Balenciaga Giant City Bag
Thursday, August 2nd, 2007We here at The Style Editor are really lusting after the Balenciaga giant hardware line. The chunky signature hardware screams out, “Look!!! I have a really expensive designer bag!!!” There is something so appealing about the unabashed label flaunting, isn’t there? And wouldn’t you want to if you shelled out over a grand for bag?
[…]
The Next Best Thing: Jimmy Choo Foldover Calfskin Clutch
Monday, July 30th, 2007This clutch is still hot, reveling in the glory of having been proudly strutted around by no less than Posh Spice herself:
However, the $1250 price tag for this Jimmy Choo Calfskin Clutch is a tiny bit, you know, crazy for most people. That doesn’t mean you can’t get one if you really want to though.
Jimmy […]
The Next Best Thing: Steve Madden Karatz Sandals
Saturday, July 28th, 2007This was one of those NBT’s that I came across completely by accident. I had gone over to Target to get a few things for my summer wardrobe and picked up a pair of “jeweled” flip flops. They have proven most comfortable and are definitely a step up from the plain old flip flops I […]
The Next Best Thing: Fendi Crossword Tote
Tuesday, June 26th, 2007The Fendi Crossword designs are really sleek and current. They are also really expensive. (Though, hey, the Crossword Tote is on sale at Barney’s–now you can get one for only $949!)

So we can only lust after the Fendi line. But what about getting the […]
The Next Best Thing: Chanel Quilted Bags
Saturday, June 23rd, 2007The classic Chanel handbag is an iconic piece of fashion history. And a woman will pay handsomely for the privilege of carrying an accessory with such distinction. What if you love the elegant look of the quilted bag, but don’t necessarily have a couple of thousand dollars to plop down for a clutch.
You could rent […]
The Next Best Thing: Marc Jacobs Hudson bag
Wednesday, June 13th, 2007The Marc Jacobs Hudson bag is really a beautiful redesign of the classic bowler bag in sleek leather. Very chic, very Mj, and very expensive. It also happens to be sold out at a lot of the main designer retailers and department stores, though you can check out this one on eBay:
Hudson bag by Marc […]
