Va Va Va Vosges

Deb Savvy — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 02:40:31 +0000

After a much too brief vacation in France, I’m craving all things haut. While I must concede that the French reign supreme on most culinary delights, there is chocolatier right here in Chicago whose delectable creations rival anything you’ll find in Paris. Or anywhere else on the planet. Vosges Haut-Chocolat

Perfection does not begin to describe these chocolates. Vosges Haut-Chocolat are made from the finest ingredients offered around the world. Owner/Chocolatier, Katrina Markoff, personally chooses every spice, flower and chocolate that comes into their Chicago kitchen. The Vosges Haut-Chocolat mission is to create a luxury chocolate experience rooted in a sensory journey of bringing about awareness to indigenous cultures through the exploration of spices, herbs, roots, flowers, fruits, nuts, chocolate and the obscure.

I popped by the Vosges Haut-Chocolat boutique on Armitage Avenue today. Where else would I go for exotic truffles to bring to a gastronomic wine pairings dinner party? I sampled my way around the selections, finally settling on the Rock & Roll (dark chocolate truffles with clove) and a Balsamic and Hazlenut creation that made me weak at the knees. The y was surprisingly tempting – smoky yet subtle. Not at all what I expected.

If you’re lucky enough to live in or visit a city that includes a Vosges Haut-Chocolat boutique, I strongly suggest you stop by and check it out for yourself. If not, you can shop online and sometimes find Vosges Haut-Chocolat at your local Whole Foods or other luxury food purveyor.

20% off Mo’s Bacon Bar Library at Vosges Chocolat using 295AF1

Vosges Haut-Chocolat definitely fall into the ‘very expensive’ category – with prices comparable to most other ultra-luxury chocolates, but they are well worth the splurge. Especially for a special occasion. My truffles will be the perfect finishing touch to a lovely evening of wining and dining.

And Speaking of Sample Sales…

Deb Savvy — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 01:27:51 +0000

The cat’s out of the bag now! We’re going to let you in on a BIG SECRET…

TheTopSecret.com

TheTopSecret.com is a top online destination for designer sample sale shopping. Click through any of the links here for instant access to this exclusive, invitation-only site which offers the most sought-after and coveted fashion brands at up to 75% off retail. They typically offer 3-5 designer-specific sample sales per week. Each sale runs 1-3 days. Find apparel and accessories for men, women, and children including tops, bottoms, dresses, suits, sweaters, outerwear, swimwear, handbags, footwear, jewelry, watches, luxury items, and much more. Shop premier brands like Andrew Marc, Ed Hardy, Dior, Antik Denim, Kenneth Cole, Betsey Johnson, Alexander McQueen, and many others.

A true sample sale refers to an event in which one or more in-demand designers will sell production samples and excess inventory at deeply discounted prices.

And they’ve got something different (and deeply discounted) just about every single day.

Love Hermes Fragrances?

Deb Savvy — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 04:54:46 +0000

Love Hermes fragrances? Me too. Love great prices? Me too.

I’ve found some absolutely ROCK BOTTOM prices on Hermes Elixir Des Merveilles, Un Jardin Sur Le Nil, Un Jardin En Mediterranee and other fragrances.

3.3 ounce bottles (retailing for $125) are $59.95 at BigDiscountFragrances.com – and if you’re willing to buy a tester (no bottle top, less elegant packaging) you’ll pay only $51.95!

This is by far one of the best prices I’ve found on Hermes in a long, long time.

Thought you’d like to know.

The Art of the Shoe

Deb Savvy — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 03:46:11 +0000

Shoe divas, take note! Endless.com has just launched a new collection of limited edition shoes called Te Casan. Fine, handcrafted limited edition footwear featuring original creations by house designers from some of the greatest fashion houses of our time: Versace, Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, Dolce & Gabbana and others. Each pair is something new, different and exciting.

Te Casan by GianLuca Soldi Women’s Goya Ankle Boot

I’m a huge fan of this hot little suede ankle boot, designed by Gianluca Soldi of Alexander McQueen. The perfect shoe-boot for after 5, also fabulous with jeans or leather pants.

Te Casan by Zoe Lee Women’s Petal Pump

Zoe Lee (of Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen) is the creator of this fabulous little number. A classic leather pump updated with a sassy suede collar. She’s also come up with some boots with a similar twist. Oh-so-original!

And that’s just a teeny tiny sample! The point of the story is that if you love truly fine footwear and crave original style, then Te Cesan at Endless.com is definitely your cup of tea.

Oh – and by the way – shop between now and 11/15/2008 and get a FREE 1-year subscription to Vogue, Teen Vogue or Men’s Vogue. A minimum order of $25 is required. See Endless.com for details. Click here for more special offers, freebies and insider deals from Endless.

Feeling Flirty in Fleur’t

The best way to feel flirty and pretty? Wear pretty underwear!

Lulu Boyshort in Black

And Fleur’t makes some of the prettiest underwear I’ve seen in quite a while.

Lulu Low Rise Thong in Chocolate

In Fall 1999, the first Fleur’t lingerie collection developed from owner and designer Nancy Yoo’s simple need: flirty, feminine lingerie that fits and feels good. For Fleur’t camisoles and lace trimmed panties, she chooses materials that stretch gently and softly, conforming to a variety of body types. Camisoles always have a lining or a shelf bra. Boy shorts sit low on the hips, giving a snug fit without a tight waistband. And they’re cute. Accented with delicate embroidery, whimsical appliqués or unadorned, and available in a rich range of colors, Fleur’t offers women a much-needed alternative to mainstream lingerie.

Beyond Beautiful Bedding

Deb Savvy — Sun, 04 May 2008 05:03:49 +0000

I am a very lucky, lucky girl. My recent globe trotting included stays at some very swanky hotels. Coming home after such a long trip has been a bit of a let-down. No more clean, crisp sheets and fresh towels every day. No more turn down service. No mints on the pillow. No fresh flowers. No elegant coffee service arriving with a quiet knock at my bedroom door at the precise time I requested. Oh well. C’est la vie. But I’m doing what I can to create the luxury hotel experience at home – starting with new bed linens.

White and Chocolate Hotel Spa Embroidery Collection
5-pc Duvet Cover Bedding Set

I found these in the hotel bedding collection at Beyond Bedding. And SUCH a bargain. The 5 piece set of duvet, two shams and two throw pillows (originally $499.99) is a total steal at $109.99. Available in king and queen for the same price. Coordinating sheets, pillowcases, bedskirts and other items are also available – along with an excellent selection of luxury hotel bedding.

Crystal Cravings

I browsed a lot of crystal when I was in Paris and Madrid last month. Lots of crystal. I visited Baccarat and Lalique. All the biggies. And a lot of smaller crystal makers, too. The one brand that sparkled brighter than the rest this trip was Swarovski . The stores are impeccably merchandised, which totally highlighted the beauty of each piece. And their new collections are SPECTACULAR! Especially the jewelry and gift items.

From whimsical butterflies to simple geometrics, their crystal jewelry and accessories are one of my top picks for luxury gift items this season. Perfect for Mother’s Day or just about any other occasion. And, by the way, there’s no reason to exclude yourself from your gift giving list. Indulge yourself. You deserve it.
