Fashion Matches: Best Finds From This Week's New Arrivals

So I must admit I've been staring at dresses for this past week but when it came time to pick what I was most excited about I couldn't leave out these awesome accessories. I'm in love with the Isabel Marant ring and Valentino bags are a weakness of mine ;)

But first up, I adore this Beyond Vintage dress mostly because it has that sexy, loose, seventies vibe. It's a great print, slimming and can be paired with bright jewelry to liven it up.

Beyond Vintage Slip dress $286

Speaking of great jewelry, this is such an awesome ring. I'm loving turquoise right now, it makes a statement and pops against anything you are wearing.

Isabel Marant oversized oval ring $122

Valentino has so many beautiful bags, I love the roses and now the ruffles. It's a bag for someone who wants to be noticed. The detail is great and just like the ring it elevates any outfit.

Valentino Rouches hobo $2595

Last but not least, shoes! Crystal studs when done in good taste add a little something extra to an outfit. These would look great with jeans and a blazer.

Guiseppe Zanotti Crystal Studded pump $930

Fashion Matches: Best Watches

I don't know what compelled me this morning, but I woke up with the urgent desire to look at watches. I haven't really needed one recently, relying on my cell phone to tell time and do pretty much everything else, but a watch is also a fashion statement, so with that thought in mind I started exploring.

I must admit, my one true love is the Cartier Pasha watch. Here it is in all it's beauty...and it's equally stunning price tag. My mission became clear: find a watch I liked equally for less than a tenth of the price :)

Fashion Matches: Best Finds from This Week's New Arrivals

The transition from vacation to real world is almost complete! I'm finally on NYC time. The mendhi I got is not off yet but it's fading steadily. And it's Thursday, so here are some new arrivals :)

I really like the shape of this jumpsuit. It shows just enough skin to be sexy, but the volume makes it a comfortable alternative to that dress you suck in your stomach for ;).

Plastic Island Sofia jumpsuit $158

I'm starting to feel like I'm pushing DVF but it's not my fault she keeps on churning out cute summer dresses. This one is a vanilla color with a belt to accentuate the waist. The crochet detail is beautiful. It's a perfect little cocktail dress that works for an infinite number of occasions.

Diane von Furstenberg Solar Crochet shift dress $595

I love this necklace. The rough feel of the stone against the delicate color is an awesome contrast. The random arrangement gives it a totally unique look.

Madewell Chunky Glam necklace $115

Now keep an open mind about this next item...it's not for you and me, however, I just couldn't ignore it. It's the cutest dog collar imaginable. How adorable would your puppy look with this stylish collar from Juicy? Comes in different colors in case you want to match the outfit ;).

Juicy Couture Flower collar $55
