PARISIAN FLAIRE

I discovered Carven a few years ago. I recently took those first few pieces I bought to the resale store. Even after the years and many wears, it was hard to say goodbye. I only hope someone gets as much enjoyment and as many wears from them as I did!

Carven started in Paris in 1945, with the aim of creating assessable luxury. Today, Carven is headed by Givenchy alum, Alexis Martial and Adrian Caillaudaud. I found a fabulous selection of Carven on, www.farfetch.com see below.
Other places to buy Carven online and in stores are, Barneys, Shopbop, Net a Porter, and Saks.

 To make up for those pieces I am selling, I recently bought this dress at Jeffery Atlanta New York. I like the mid- length.

 

Take a look at a few of favorites from Carven's Spring Summer 15 collection:

 

How great would the tee look with some white jeans and yellow strappy stilettos?

VICTORIA BECKHAM

I love Victoria Beckham. I love that she has transformed from a Spice Girl to a highly regarded regular at New York Fashion Week. Her designs are chic and well made. In 2014 she was the Brand of the Year Winner at the British Fashion Awards.

 

 

Victoria Beckham has just announced a partnership with Barneys. Beckham started designing in 2008 and Barneys said, "No Thanks", when she approached them about carrying her designs. A few years later, Barneys went back and approached Victoria, asking to carry her designs. Victoria said, "No Thanks". Well, it looks like they have finally reached an agreement.

 

Victoria Beckham currently has 5 lines;

 

1- Victoria Beckham, her runway pieces.

2- Victoria by Victoria Beckham, a lower price line.

3- Victoria Beckham Denim

4- Victoria Beckham Sunglasses

5- Victoria Beckham Handbags

 

Below are a few of my Spring/Summer 15 favorites from all 5 lines.
