It’s common knowledge now that boat shoes are very in. All the stylish men in our lives are being spotted in these all over the city with styles ranging from black, tan, neon, leather, suede and canvas. This pair from Sperry is my favorite of the moment. I love them because they look completely traditional in construction, in its sole and leather laces but the canvas adds a new-ness to the look to keep it fresh and original. The best part is that you can get them for your BF or best boy bud for only $70!

If you love Gwen Stefani for her original, chic but punky style as much as I do, then Savvy Co.’s LAMB handbag sample sales are definitely worth a visit. I went by the last one and found that the selection was excellent. The prices however were on the high end for larger totes and patent leather bags, but you can pick up something small like a great LAMB wallet or clutch up for under $75. I bought a Kid Robot duffel bag at the last sale for only $30 (retails for $295) that has accompanied me on trips to Asia and Canada.

When: June 8-11, 2010

Josie Natori is one of new favorite designers. The delicate and elegant fabrics she uses in her designs are the definition of luxury and not mention sensual! Her fragrance Natori Eau de Parfum is top pick for a sexy, deep and woody smell that is perfect to wear during the evening. It will definitely turn the heat up a couple of notches.

I’m delighted to announce the designer’s sample sale coming up this month.

Sometimes when you need to look put together but aren’t really in the mood to put work into your outfit, the best thing to do is put on a tailored and fitted dress. A dress is easy because it’s just one piece and will make you look… well, dressed up! If this day happens to be a Friday when you don’t want to look too formal but not sloppy either, a denim dress is your best bet.

Just like the perfect pair of jeans, the perfect denim dress can make you feel comfortable while keeping you looking good.

My Favorite Denim Dress by Theory

If you have been reading my posts on The Stylester lately, you know by now that I’m a big Theory fan. I picked up this gorgeous dress from a previous sample sale for under $100 (it retails for over $300!). If I could, I’d wear it everyday but I think people would notice this on me more than my every-other-day pair of Seven jeans. I usually wear it with my brown Zigi cork slingbacks or my white wedges from Browns (a Canadian shoe store).

Below are some options of where to pick up your very own denim dress.
