I just love the Signature web/chain dog collar made of green/red/green web and a light gold plated brass chain, measuring 9.6" long.  It is both feminine and masculine enough to be worn on either Fifi or Fido.  I am planning to pair this collar with the Medium dog leash with the signature web (green/red/green) with black leather trim and light gold-plated brass, measuring 47" long.  How clever would your little pure bred look being held in your arms while touting both the collar and leash? 

And of course any pooch worth her weight wouldn't be caught dead being carried in any doggie bag other than the Gucci Signature Web Dog Bag with handles, double zip side opening, removable and washable interior cushion, short leash that clips to the interior of the bag offered in small and large sizes.  The bag itself is made of beige/ebony GG fabric with brown waxed leather trim and green/red/green web trim.  We also all know that out little babies can't just stay in their luxury bag all night long, at some point they will need their bed...  That is where the Gucci Dog Bed with Velcro closure comes in!  It is made from beige/ebony GG fabric with brown trim and is 26"L x 18.5"H, so make sure your little one will fit comfortably on her bed.

With so many problems in the world it is very refreshing to know that we can offer some of the most luxurious accommodations to our little friends!  After all, they are called "Man's Best Friend" but we all know they prefer us women because we spoil them so much better than a man ever could!

If you are anything like me you have an excess amount of change floating around inside your purse somewhere between the bottom and the inside pocket...  There is nothing I hate more than having to pay for something and digging around for nineteen cents so I don't have to break another bill.  I will also admit that I have a change pocket on my wallet and a small change purse floating around inside my purse, I just don't think often enough to use them.  However, if I had one of the many adorable Gucci Change Purses I would pull it out every single time I had an extra penny to put away.

My absolute favorite is the Heart Shaped Coin Purse with key chain, charm and zip top closure in beige/ebony crystal GG fabric with brown leather trim and light gold hardware.  It is cute enough that I would love looking at, small enough to fit comfortably inside my purse without adding bulk and enough of an eye catcher that I would love others to see it. 

My second choice is the Wristlet with heart shaped Gucci crest charm with studs and a zip top closure in beige/ebony crystal GG fabric with brown leather trim and antique brass hardware.  This is such a classic Gucci product and has a timeless heir about it.  Again, it is small enough to be unobtrusive inside your purse but could also  be carried alone around your wrist if a purse isn't an option.

With holidays right around the corner this would be a delicious little diddy to add to your wish list!  Who knows, you may wake up to find that your Santa has stuffed deep down inside your stocking!

Have you seen the Gucci Women's Cruise 2009 Runway sets?  Absolutely gorgeous!!!  If I had enough cash and space I would own each and every single piece.  Not only are their models top of the line but it so very clear that their products are as well.

My absolute favorite is the giada shell/stripe printed fil coupe lurex full gown with knot detail.  It is an ankle length dress with a beautiful pattern all the way through.  The mixture of greens, black and cream is stunning and will easily complement any combination of skin and hair tones.  The length is perfect for a leisurely stroll through that quaint little island town or a romantic dinner for two on the beach.  To finish it off Gucci added a deep plunging neckline with a knot detail.

My second favorite is the orange silk shantung front-tie dress.  Talk about cute!!!  This Runway dress is almost too cute for words really.  The color is bold and bright but classy enough to be worn by women of all ages.  The cut is fun and flirty and would be especially cute worn with Gucci's high heel espadrille wedges in light brown suede, which was paired with it for the runway show.

My final pick from this runway show would be the nectar shell printed jersey boat neck dress.  It is perfect for an 5 course meal followed by a night partying in the VIP lounge of your favorite club.  This dress is elegant yet sexy.  While I do like the white sandals Gucci paired it with for the runway show I would much prefer to see this dress paired with a pair of chocolate brown stilettos, it would make such a stronger impact.  This is also the perfect dress to wear with a cute pair of leggings and a pair of ballet flats to run around doing errands in.

All in all, I give the Gucci Women's Cruise Runway show two thumbs up!  They have once again captured their normal elegance, sex appeal, fun and flirty attributes we have all come to love to own and love to wear.

My first true love from this collection is the 'Ginevra' brown leather high heel boots with gucci crest ornament and a 4.1" heel.  To me, there is nothing that screams sexy more than a stiletto pair of fabulously luxurious leather boots paired with a super sexy above the knee dress.  This is a look that can work almost any crowd and styled with the right hair, make-up and accessories will place you at the top of everyone’s list for best dressed. 

Have you seen Roma?  Well, let me introduce you to her, 'Roma' is a khaki python high heel ankle strap platform sandals with bamboo detail on a 4.1" heel.  Wow!!!  This pair of shoes is smoking hot and I cannot wait to mix and match my clothes to see just how limitless my options will be with this pair of shoes.  These would be great with a business suit to add just the right amount of femininity and sex appeal or with a pair of jeans to show that just because you are casual doesn’t mean you can’t be sexy too!

If you have read any of my other posts you remember me talking about the Babouska Line offered by Gucci’s 2009 Fall Collection, well included in that line are what I consider the hottest pair of Gladiator heels ever!  Let me preface this by saying I do not particularly care for most of the gladiator style shoes that have come out this year and feel that most of them should have been left on the runway, but every now and again I see a pair that can actually accentuate an outfit rather than over take it.  The 'Babouska' is black leather with antique brass hardware, high heel open-toe sandals with horsebit ring buckle and studs set on a 4.1" heel.  Even with the gold studs these shoes will add pizzazz and class to whatever outfit you choose to wear them with.

The fall lineup for the Gucci Timepieces is nothing short of spectacular. The watches fall into three categories of design:  Horsebit, Cuff and Traditional Gucci style. No matter if you are looking for a men’s or women’s Gucci Timepiece, there is no doubt that you will be hard pressed to make your final decision. 

Personally, I prefer to wear my watch with everything but formal wear. I tend to find a Gucci Timpiece that works with casual, business and after five attire. I know there are some out there who prefer to have a few different watch styles to mix and match and I do not see anything wrong with that at all; in fact I envy those people because they can actually remember to change watches when needed! 

Let’s go with my line of thinking…  Which Gucci Timepiece would work equally as well for 95% of my wardrobe? I would have to choose the Twirl Watch with a Diamond lined Mother of Pearl watch face. The Twirl Watch has a polished steel case with an extra white mother-of-pearl dial, steel bangle set with 38 diamonds, .45 total carat weight, an unscratchable sapphire crystal, jewelry clasp, is water resistant up to 3 ATM, has Quartz movement, and is made in Switzerland. Where would I start with the primary reason for choosing this Gucci Timepiece? I would probably have to say the overall design looks like a cuff bracelet and I simply love the look! It does not look like your typical watch, therefore it does not lend solely to casual or business attire, and it crosses the boundaries to both sides. It has diamonds, and what girl can refuse diamonds?  Especially nearly a half a carat on your watch alone?!?! It is very durable with the unscratchable sapphire crystal and is water resistant up to depths I prefer not to travel to anyway…  And lastly, it is made in Switzerland. We all know that the Swiss make the best watches in the world. Lastly, this watch could actually work with some formal attire.  Of course, not all of my formal attire would appreciate this Gucci Timepiece but I would venture to say that I could probably work its style in with 80% of my formal wear.

Isn’t it about Time you invested in your very own Gucci Timepiece?

  Another Gucci Sunglass design that I love is the plastic frame with the Crystal Interlocking G.  These are offered in three different color combinations: white frames and silver metal frame with grey lens and silver hardware, tortoise plastic and gold metal frame with dark brown gradient lens and light gold hardware, and black plastic and black metal frame with grey lens and silver hardware.  This particular sunglass style by Gucci is a website exclusive.  I always love exclusive designs, whether they are available online only or in particular cities or stores, because you will not run the risk of seeing every other person on the street with the same pair of Gucci Sunglasses as you.
