Naya Shoes Kindred styled for the fall season

Naya Shoes is a fabulous, eco-chic footwear brand which designs on-trend shoes that leave a soft footprint on the Earth. Love this!
Naya Shoes takes special care to select environmentally friendly materials for their shoe collection and the result is an eco-conscious shoe made from high quality fabrications using fine craftsmanship.

Here at Cheap Luxury Handbags Store we have been huge fans of Naya Shoes over the past few years and we look forward to each new collection with every new season. For fall 2012, the autumn collection by Naya Shoesis nothing short of fabulous! One of our favorite pairs from the fall collection is the “Kindred” bootie which is slightly edgy and perfect for casual Fridays and weekend wear.

Of course the “Kindred” booties are fabulous with jeans (what isn’t!?) but these booties can also add a sassy zing to an otherwise basic dress. So, we took a few snapshots of the “Kindred” by Naya Shoes with both a casual look and an edgy, going to dinner look; which began with that otherwise basic dress we just mentioned 

Oh, and we forgot to mention, Naya Shoes are also one of the most comfortable shoe brands in the world. Fashionable+comfortable=MUST HAVE!!!
Naya Shoes can be found at Nordstrom and online at NayaShoes.com.

Santana Row celebrates 10 years of fabulous shopping, dining and entertainment

Santana Row kicked off their ten year anniversary celebrations on September 27 at 6pm with a special VIP cocktail party for 200 guests which attracted local politicians and celebrities. Guests of the event dined on delicious food provided by Santana Row restaurants and guests also enjoyed an exclusive cocktail which was designed for the evening.

We knew the evening would be fabulous when we arrived at the VIP party and quickly noticed the amazing floral arrangements, hip white furniture and cozy pillows. The DJ kept the party energetic and the crowd was one of the most fashionable gatherings we have spotted in a long, long time.

After guests were able to enjoy the fabulous food and drinks provided by Santana Row, party goers were treated to informal modeling by Federal Reality employees, Santana Row VIP’s and even Sal Pizzaro from the San Jose Mercury News. (We have to admit, he stole the show when he went down the runway with his beautiful daughter in-hand.)

Mayor Chuck Reid was on hand to give a heartfelt speech and so was Councilman Pierluigi Oliverio. Debbie Allison, a member of the Junior League of San Jose and professional singer from England closed the runway show by singing Katy Perry’s “Firework.” And let me tell you, her voice is one of the most beautiful sounds you will ever hear!

In addition to the fabulous VIP soirée, HM was celebrating their grand opening in their new; two story location where Border’s used to be. The retailer offered in-store, opening day only discounts and rocked the house with a DJ. Shoppers were buzzing and purchasing armloads of clothing and accessories. The new HM has a huge women’s department, men’s department and the cutest kids clothing you have ever seen! Loved it!

Also, if you happen to be in the San Jose area, September 29 30 Santana Row retailers will be donating 10% of sales back to the San Jose Fire Department in honor of the heroic work they did ten years ago fighting the famous Santana Row fire which threatened the grand opening  of the shopping area. Of course, due to the fabulous work by the firefighters and perseverance of Santana Row, the energetic shopping, dining and entertainment opened without a hitch and continues to grow and thrive to this day.

Cheers Santana Row! It has been a fabulous ten years and here’s looking forward to many decades to come!

Sweet cameos from Twisted Silver for fall 2012

Feminine and structured apparel are a huge trend right now and accessories for these looks are equally demure. Full skirts and pencil skirts are being paired with traditional pumps with pointed toes, ladylike satchels and feminine jewelry. With the vintage vibe stemming from this ladylike silhouette, it is no wonder that vintage jewelry or vintage-like pieces are hot for fall.

One of the most classic and feminine pendants in jewelry is the cameo. Cameos have been shown in many ways including earrings, bracelets and even on watches. For fall 2012 Twisted Silver has designed a feminine and sweet cameo bracelet which evokes a vintage vibe and is easy to wear with jeans or a little black cocktail dress.

The Cameo bracelet from Twisted Silver features a sweet collection of vintage cameos set on antiqued brass which evoke a sense of the Victorian era. This bracelet looks amazing with fall’s hottest fabrics including silk, velvet and knits. The mix of colors from the cameos allows the Cameo bracelet to blend well with patterns, prints and many solid hues.

Twisted Silver’s Cameo bracelet debuted online today at Twisted-Silver.com. The bracelet is priced at $40. Use coupon code INSIDERS for a 15% discount. Love that! Happy shopping and stay fabulous
