HotBag: Delancey Large Shoulder Bag by MICHAEL by Michael Kors

So here at Rich Girl I have been exploring "business fashion" and not just fun, everyday fashion. This includes everything and anything you can wear in the much more formal work place. I came across the Delancey bag by MICHAEL by Michael Kors which is the perfect handbag for women entering the work force. The bag is croc-embossed patent-leather with a logo plate at front and stud detail at front and back. There are useful pockets at sides and very chic chain straps. This bag is fabulous and practical at the same time. It will have you looking utterly put together no matter what you pair it with. I love the marriage between the exotic croc-pattern and the sparkling gold accents. This handbag has just enough glamour to get you through the day.

Inspired: Gucci Spring-Summer 2008


It's always interesting to see how major designer collections inspire the clothing available at mass retailers. For Spring-Summer 2008 Gucci created a collection heavy on black, yellow, beige and a coral-pink. Most notably were the graphic and floral prints in black and yellow. You can see an example of that seasonal print in the dress above. While browsing Rich Girl favorite Forever 21, I stumbled on the dress below. While the shape is clearly unrelated, the colors and print are almost identical. A little Gucci-esque, no?



Dress available at Forever 21 ($22.80)

Dress: Voltage Eyelet Party Solid Dress by Zimmermann

A perfect party dress, the details in this Zimmermann dress are enticing. The dress is made of silk with a underwire bra detail at bust. There are also tiny grommets on the cotton bodice and ruching at the empire waist. The soft greys in contrasting fabrics flow effortlessly, and the fitted bodice accents the bust delicately. I would definitely suggest pairing the dress strappy grey shoes and continuing the monochromatic look. As for accessories, less is definitely more. Try a pair of hoop earrings, maybe a bracelet and a clutch. Stylish and flirty, this dress will surely become a party favorite!

It would go amazing with skinny's, whether in denim, black or white. Add a few accessories, maybe a scarf, and sandals and your good to go in the latest L.A. it look.
