Davie & Chiyo Winner

Queen Bee — Thu, 27 May 2010 04:05:16 +0000

I thought I’d update you on the Davie & Chiyo giveaway. The winner, Piper, just received her gorgeous bag that she designed! Here was her entry:

My design would be something like the Three Frills…(or maybe Five Frills) Each layer would be a different color, going from lightest at the top to darkest at the bottom to create an ombre look. It would then be finished off with colorful, fun lining and a chain handle.

And here is the finished product:

I think it’s a perfect fit! You can check out her response on her blog.

And a special thanks to Davie & Chiyo for sponsoring this giveaway!

Summer Bags

Queen Bee — Wed, 26 May 2010 04:38:13 +0000

I know what that little voice in your head is saying: “Do I really need another bag?” Probably not, but it’s ok to look!

Surely you need this adorable coin purse?

Win a Clutch Designed by You

Queen Bee — Mon, 03 May 2010 04:59:43 +0000

Talk about an awesome prize! For one of you lucky Mafiettes, Davie and Chiyo will create the clutch of your dreams. No limits, no boundaries except your imagination.

From davieandchiyo.etsy.com

Aren’t these just adorable?

I think the clutch of my dreams would be unapologetically outrageous, a leader, not a follower, a little girly, a little rough, and not afraid to make a statement. It’d be fuchsia (of course!) and sparkly to cover the girlyness, but with a skull or tattoo detail to show a little bad-ass attitude. I’d call it Pretty Gritty because no girl is a lady all the time!

What would the clutch of your dreams look like?

Take a look at the Davie and Chiyo collection for some inspiration and leave your answer in a comment below. One minute your typing it and the next minute your wearing it…..it could happen!

Contest ends on Sunday, May 9th at 9 pm EST. Winner will be announced on Monday, May 10th.

Paradis with Chanel

Queen Bee — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 04:13:35 +0000

I know I don’t usually discuss haute couture on Prom Mafia, but this post involves two of my crushes: Vanessa Paradis and Chanel. So basically, I couldn’t help myself! I just found out that the uber gorgeous Vanessa Paradis (ie- Ms. Johnny Depp) is the new face for Coco Cocoon, Chanel’s line of oh-so-chic handbags.

From dailymail.co.uk

She has a long history with Chanel and is apparently close with the awful Karl Lagerfeld. Unfortunately, the collection won’t be released until May, so we will just have to be patient!

La Vie en Rose

Queen Bee — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 04:52:17 +0000

When Amber Pollard sent me this gorgeous Taqueria tote to review, I was ecstatic! It has that perfect pairing I’m always searching for: fashion and function.

The bag is big, but still manages to look dainty, which makes it appropriate for many occasions. It’ll easily fit a laptop, big ol’ camera, lunch, heels, and anything else you can think of.

The bag has chic details including gold zippers.

And like every Amber Pollard purse, it comes with a Lunch a la Mode pack that insulates your lunch. Yum!

And here is the best news. You can get 45% off any Amber Pollard purse when you use the code PROMMAFIA10, but it is only good until March 23. Happy shopping!

Prom from Windsor

Queen Bee — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 04:31:48 +0000

Ah, Windsor…you never disappoint!

From windsorstore.com

Mafiettes, if you’ve got a strict budget for prom, you MUST visit this site! Their prom dresses are adorable and affordable. That zebra dress above is $140. Here are a few others I thought you might like.

From windsorstore.com

And they’ve got a great selection of inexpensive shoes too. These red heels are only $30!

From windsorstore.com

And their accessories are, you guessed it, affordable too. For $6, you can get these black danglies.

From windsorstore.com

And this rocker clutch is only $16.

From windsorstore.com

You could easily put together your whole outfit for under $200. And with a decent selection of dresses priced around $50, you could even put together your whole outfit for under $100!

What do you think of Windsor’s dresses?

Wish List

Queen Bee — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 04:17:39 +0000

I have a list of things that I don’t need, can’t afford, but I want oh so badly. Do you have a wish list too? Here’s mine. Let’s compare!

1. Hooded Leather Jacket

From tobi.com

Why hooded? It adds a bit of character and lets you stand out from the leather moto crowd. This one from Mike & Chris has just the right balance of girly toughness.

2. Flat Brown Boots

From zappos.com

As you know, I’m looking for the perfect pair of brown boots and I’m infatuated with this pair by Apepazza even though my budget is more Forever21.

3. Leather Bag

From aspinaloflondon.com

I don’t even need a bag. I just want this travel bag by Aspinal of London!

How I’d Do Prep

Queen Bee — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 05:08:55 +0000

I’m not into preppy. It’s fine on other people, but straight up prep is just not me. I can do preppy-chic or preppy-punk though. What do you think of this outfit I put together from Miss Selfridge?

Jacket, shoes, dress, and necklace from Miss Selfridge, purse from Amber Pollard.

How do you do prep?
