2011 Fashionable Luxury Electronics & Accessories

Every fashionista needs to add a little flare to her wardrobe and her electronics are no exception. Typically electronics and accessories are a fashion splurge, so we’ve chosen a few of the ultimate accessories that we could find tending today. These accessories and electronics are fashion status items, so if you’re on a budget have fun browsing. Details certainly do matter, so if you can afford it flaunt it.



Lady Gaga Heartbeats 2.0 Headphones

Resembling designer fashion jewelry, Lady Gaga’s Heartbeat headphones are a must have fashion accessory. The earphones are from the Beats by Dre headphone collection. Gaga supervised the designing of the extravagant jewelry-inspired headphones. We love the ones pictured on Gaga herself above. The triangle shaped ear buds with thick durable wire to plug into our music device of choice. Also pictured above are the spiked headphones from her collection as well. The concept behind her collaboration with Heartbeats is that sound does matter. The high quality earphones were designed to look as good as they sound, which is why they made our ultimate fashionable accessories list. Price tag is about $70.



Christian Dior Phone Touch Flow

While some people would consider purchasing the Dior Touch Flow phone reckless spending, we say why not if you have the means they get it in the name of fashion. Owning a luxury cell phone symbolizes that you have arrived and is one of the ultimate investments a fashionista can make to promote her image. It is said that the smartphone from Dior is made of 100 parts put together by hand in France. The case is made of highest Dior quality leather and the rest of the phone is made of lavish sapphire crystals. Other materials used are gold, diamond and steel. If the pricey jewels don’t get your attention then the phone’s amenities will. It comes fully equipped with internet, email, social media, camera phone and designer ringtones. The Christian Dior phone is so good it’s bad! The price tag is a whopping $4500. Get it if you can!



Incase Andy Warhol cases for iPhones, iPads and MacBooks

Last but not least from Incase, we love the Andy Warhol collection of iPhone, iPad cases, sleeves, and shoulder bags. These accessories are actually commissioned by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, so they are as authentic as you’re going to find anywhere. The collection ranges from $50 to $80. Pictured above are the Banana print screens. The accessories are also available in 1964 Flowers, Dollar Signs, 1966’s Cow Wallpaper and Camouflage. If you have an artistic flare and use your accessories all of the time, this is nice fashion splurge to make.

Reblog: Femme Fashionista Must Have: BCBG Max Azria Dresses

Our femme fashionista must have pick this month is BCBG Max Azria dresses. The famous bandage dress has been the “It” dress for the past few years. Everyone from Victoria Beckham to Ashley Simpson has been pictured wearing dresses from Max Azria. These dresses are for the fit and fabulous for sure and are better known as Hervé Léger by Max Azria. Make no mistake this super sexy dress will show off all of your curves. Below are some celebrities that wore the dress best.


Wearing her Hervé Léger by Max Azria dress to the launch of her perfume in Germany, Katy Perry wore one of the more classic designs. The warp dress crossed the singers’ famous bust elegantly and cinched her figure down to her knees. Perry is known for choosing outrageous outfits, but this look was toned down and perfect. We love the lavender.


Jessica Szohr wore her BCBG to a Hervé Léger by Max Azria Spring 2011 fashion show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week last year. The former gossip girl looked stunningly fit in the black cut out and mesh form fitting dress. The daring sheer fabric on the mid section add another level of sex appeal to this otherwise simple dress.


Kim Kardashian wore this form fitting Hervé Léger by Max Azria to a Las Vegas opening. The super sexy dress is quite intricate with a nude underlay with black detailing on top. The knee length dress hugs her figure straight down to the knees. This dress from the spring 2011 collection was definitely made for Kim.


Katherine McPhee turned heads in her Hervé Léger by Max Azria nude bandage dress in New York. McPhee’s slender body looked great in the barely there dress. A+ for Katherine for looking super sexy post her American Idol days.


Britney Spears wore a Hervé Léger by Max Azria design to Wango Tango music concert last year. The super fit celebrity looked super sexy in the hot pink maze print strapless wrap dress. We really love how Britney has cleaned up in the past year and a half. We’re so team Britney.



We’re a fan of Brooklyn Decker in her pink Hervé Léger by Max Azria worn at the ESPY awards. The dress doesn’t fit the thin supermodel as tight as it does some of the other celebrities we’ve seen, but she is really filling out the top of the dress well. The tank dress look works for the beautiful blonde.

Reblog - Exclusive Look: WikiFashionista.com Street Style Video Contest Winner Zoe B. Shows Us Her Swag


Look whose winning fashionistas! Zoe B. is coming to you from Century City, CA where she’s giving you an inside exclusive look at the newest fashion goodies she’s added to her wardrobe. Zoe selected some stylish fashion accessories from, Handbag Heaven, Affordable Scarves, Sunglass Warehouse and Shiekh Shoes. Check out the video of Zoe rocking her grand prize winnings in the video. And, below is a review on the items Zoe B. chose from the sponsors of the WikiFashionista.com street style video contest as well. Don’t forget to keep checking back for new street style videos at wikifashionista.com, where we speak to real girls, wearing real fashion, in real-time.
Starting from head to toe, Zoe selected the SW Retro Style Black Sunglasses with smoked lenses from Sunglass Warehouse. This ultra cool website is where the smart fashionistas go to get the hottest luxury inspired sunglasses for less. Nothing burns more than to scratch, break or lose and expensive pair of shades. And let’s face it, we all have done it at one time or another, which is why owning luxury accessories, can leave you feeling more grief than chic. Zoe’s Ray-ban inspired sunglasses would cost her a lot more than the similar Retro shades she’s wearing in the video.
Zoe selected the Amanda Circle Scarf in Red, because that’s her favorite color. As seen in the video, the infinity scarf double loops casually around the neck creating a layered look. The thing that is so attractive about infinity scarves is its versatility. You can also wear it as a shrug, through the arms and around the neck. You can also wear it more Beverly Hills chic by lacing one end through the other around the neck. There’s really an infinite amount of possible ways to wear this piece.
Next, Zoe scored the Jamie Buckle Satchel from our friends at Handbag Heaven. Zoe is currently a working college student, so naturally she selected a handbag for a fashionista on the go that will accommodate her school necessities and transition nicely to a work setting. The Jamie Buckle Satchel has two front strap closures and turn lock claps to keep the contents of the bag secure. The two toned color block Tan/Olive handbag also has handy long shoulder strap, which gives a chic messenger bag look to it.
Last but certainly not least, Zoe went with the Fantasik High Heel Wedges in black courtesy of Shiekh Shoes. Judging by her video response, Zoe absolutely loves these ultra high platform wedges with color block heel. We love the edgy thick straps and sexy peep toe front. The Fantasik Wedges will add 5 ½ inches to your current height, so if you’re the kind of fashionista that loves to be super high like Zoe then Shiekh Shoes has what you’re looking for.

Are they worth it? You be the judge. We have some suggestions on how to incorporate these luxury items into your fashion lifestyle. Check it out below.



ALEXANDER WANG :: POINTELLE LEGGINGS :: $395
Once the weather gets colder this season, the pointelle leggings from Alexander Wang’s collection will come in handy. Pair these pricey leggings with an H&M loose fitting top, black biker boots and trendy accessories that won’t hurt the wallet as much.



J BRAND :: VELVET LEGGINGS:: $183

The rocker chic velvet leggings are ideal for a fashionable night out with friends, if you’re headed to a music concert or to see the local lounge act. Try to pair these leggings with a rocker tee like AC/DC or Pink Floyd. Also try pairing the leggings with some sky high spiked heels.



CITIZENS OF HUMANITY CLOTHING :: AVEDON SLICK SKINNY LEGGING JEANS :: $165
We’re a big fan of super stretch legging denim jeans because it’s like wearing custom fitted pants and who wouldn’t want that? Their ultra comfortable and provide a clean skin tight fit. Pair these stylish legging with some knee high boots and a fitted black blazer layered over a silk sleeveless button up blouse to the office and spark up that office romance you’ve been fantasizing about.

It would be so easy to casually flaunt your sex appeal in this flirty pair of bottoms. LA based fashion line, YFB, is the go to line for fun flirty fashion.



MARC BY MARC JACOBS :: STANDARD SUPPLY MILITARY LEGGING JEANS :: $198
Every fashionistas closet needs a few items that coincide with what’s trending at the time. Fall 2011 trends saw a lot of military wear such as army jackets and army boots. These Marc Jacobs skinny military jeans fall in this category and would be a nice addition to the wardrobe. Try mixing it up by pairing the military pants with a lace top and oversized gold accessories.

SS 2012 Milan Fashion Week Highlights

It’s been one week after another fashionistas ! First we started out in New York, then we hopped across the pond to London for a posh viewing of new SS 2012 designs, and quickly move on to Milan to see our favorite Italian designers. So, here are a few highlights from SS 2012 fashion week in Milan. So much fashion so little time.



Pucci
Team Pucci presented bohemian glamSS2012 collection complete with skin tight mini dresses with intricate figure flattering patterns, flowing maxi dresses with ascending hems and printed silk blouses. Above from left to right we see white tailored loose fitting slacks (Italian designers are known for their tailoring), next we see an extra flirty leg revealing floor length dress with contrasting prints that Pucci is known for. We also enjoyed seeing the statement jewelry and strappy sandals that we saw on the runway as well.



Jil Sander
Next the SS2012 Jil Sander collection was definitely one of our favorites to see. The looks were the most wearable of Milan fashion week. Simple prints, combinations, and layered dresses sum up the entire line. A variety of light blues, black and burgundy were the main colors. The blazers are the stand out pieces in the assortment of designer digs. We’re also a fan of the veiled headwear that added a bit of dramatic flair to the show.



Salvatore Ferragamo

Known for his elegant gowns, Ferragamo showcased some sexy gowns with bold colors and exotic patterns. Above we see a tasteful use of aqua and purple silk worked into a sweetheart neckline, twist front and high front slit gown. Next week see the sam deep purple with a single cross neck strap and oversized bow at the waist and of course this Ferragamo look is not complete without a high side slit. Last we see a safari print mashup of red orange, hot pink and gold hues, belted in a halter top dress design.



Just Cavalli
As most designers tired to do, Just Cavalli had at least one show stopping maxi dress. We enjoyed seeing the rope neck and rope tied belted accents on the above animal print dress. Then getting back to the Italian tailoring that we look forward to seeing at Milan fashion shows, Just Cavalli SS 2012 did some stitching on leather pants that was a bit innovative and the textured blazers were a refreshing alternative to the safe and simple black. We’re not too sure how wearable the gold skinny pants are, but were sure some fashion divas will try to rock them anyway. We appreciate the glam rock mash up from the Just Cavalli team.

Get Bargains on Baby Gap Clothing

It is sometimes our taste for fine clothing that actually breaks the bank and burns holes in our pockets but there is nothing to worry about if you know how to get bargains on the items that you want especially with baby gap clothing.
Remember, good taste doesn’t have to be an impediment to being frugal and being a smart buyer.
Gap clothing stores are fun to shop at and being on the lookout for sales are the best step one can do when it comes to bargain shopping.

Step 1:
Gap clothing can also be bought online so why not go ahead, pay close attention to the gap outlet store section and sales. Sign up for newsletters from the store in order to be informed of upcoming sales and discounts. Sign up to the mailing list for percentage-off coupons!

Step 2:
March to the Gap stores on Wednesday mornings to catch the latest markdowns. This is because the prices are marked down on Tuesday evenings, effective Wednesday morning, at most Gap stores.
Search for prices that end .97, the lowest price the company gives the stores, known as the kill price.

Step 3:
Check out the Gap outlet stores. Find the Gap outlet store that is closest to you, if you don’t know where to look try searching online. Go ahead and ask gap employees when they receive new stocks and when the big sales are.

Step 4:
Browse clearance racks at the end of each season in Gap stores. Purchase for the size of your kids will likely be in the next year. Buy extras of basics such as khakis, jeans and tee shirts.
If you have gotten great deals on the other items then it won’t hurt much to splurge on a toddler Gap dress. You can make Gap clothing the style of your baby in years to come without spending too much!

Step 5:
Shop at annual kids’ consignment sales to find baby Gap couture and clothes form the Gap outlet stores. Believe it or not, you can grab baby Gap clothing for about $1 to $5 a piece in most places.

Step 6:
You can go ahead and browse thrift outlets and yard sales in affluent areas. Look for classic baby Gap clothing items that are still in mint condition and sometimes you can even find them with the tags attached and at rock-bottom prices
