Victoria Bracha, florals and berry hues

July 9, 2013 in Bay Area Fashion / General Fashion tagged bracha / jill milan / outfits / summer 2013 / valentino by Cheap Luxury Handbags Store

One of the big trends from summer 2013, which is continuing into fall 2013, is the floral trend. In addition to floral prints, berry hues ranging from bright summer fuchsia through to deep, dark burgundy are among the hottest colors for fall 2013. Since I love to incorporate runway trends into my own personal style, this floral top from local designer Victoria Bracha is the perfect answer to both the continuing floral trend and the berry hued trend.

Victoria Bracha is a Bay Area based designer who owns Bracha Boutique in downtown San Carlos, California. Bracha carries Victoria’s line as well as additional brands and designers who are both niche and popular. The entire store is a fabulous mix of apparel and accessories which are hard to find in other shops. Love that!

This top by Victoria Bracha is made from a cool, mesh fabric which is layered and not see through. (As one would assume it would be when the word “mesh” is mentioned!) The mesh fabric is surprisingly cool and allows the wind to breeze in and out; making this a fabulous top for spring and fall! Of course, it is also perfect for foggy, summer days too. Victoria Bracha also uses this fabric for dresses and other pieces which can be mixed and matched together. She also has additional colors and prints which are easy to wear in any season.

I paired my Victoria Bracha top with an A-line leather skirt. This works perfectly for going out in the evening. The top can also be paired with trousers for the office or jeans for casual days. I love versatility!

Bracha in San Carlos is a hidden gem!

July 6, 2013 in Bay Area Fashion / Shopping tagged bracha / local shops / summer 2013 by Cheap Luxury Handbags Store

San Carlos, California has a hidden gem! On Laurel Street in San Carlos’s shopping district, there is a boutique owned by designer Victoria Bracha which not only carries her own original designs, the shop is jam-packed with several brands and designers! Bracha not only carries hard-to-find brands and Victoria Bracha’s apparel, the boutique is stocked with handbags, jewelry and accessories! Love this!

I am absolutely smitten with Bracha. The boutique has so many unique designs; it is a refreshing change from the common styles we find at the mall. Does anyone really want to look like everyone else and show up at a party or event wearing the same thing as the girl standing next to them? I think not.

At Bracha there are so many unique styles which reflect the current season’s color palette and runway trends. Bracha is stocked with bright colors, prints, lace, black/white ensembles and a little touch of rocker-chic. Here are a few snap-shots from inside Bracha showcasing the boutique’s current summer stock. There is a black dress with a floral print calling my name! And the wish list grows. . .

Watch for a couple of outfit posts here on Cheap Luxury Handbags Store next week featuring attire from Bracha!

Berry hues + Rose Royce jeans

Last week I posted about a fabulous new denim company; Rose Royce Clothing. This amazing new designer denim brand makes fabulous jeans which fit right, are soft, comfortable and have unique stiches and details. The floral buttons are my favorite touch! Every style of Rose Royce jeans has a different pocket design which makes it easy to own multiple pairs; no two look alike yet they all have the same fabulous fit! Love that!

In these photos I am wearing Rose Royce’s bootcut “Jessalyn” pants. I love how they fit and I love the details on the pockets, as well as the hem. Amazing!

As part of Rose Royce’s launch, they are holding a blogger contest! If you like how I styled my Rose Royce “Jessalyn” jeans, please vote for me by liking my photo! The contest is on Rose Royce’s Facebook Page and can be found by clicking here. Don’t forget to “like” Rose Royce on Facebook too! Thank you so much for your support, and if you buy the jeans, enjoy them!
