I love Housing Works just as much as the next New Yorker, so for today’s Shop Indie edition I thought I would round up some things currently up for bid at great prices…

Tory Burch, 100% silk, sleeveless, hot air balloon print

Italian Huntress Boots, grayish suede exterior with chocolate leather heel back detail

Vintage Gucci Briefcase, uptown label with downtown bohemian beat, lined with purple fabric

Malandrino Chain Metal Pumps, pewter tone chain mail metal exterior, chain mail covered heel

And my fave:

Dolce & Gabbana Boots, heavy weight grainy leather boots with rounded toe and buckle detailing, gray contrast stitching, buckle and rivets are gold tone

It’s been ten years since Catherine started her label, and I must say that she is one of my favorite designers and never seems to fail my expectations. This collection is outstanding, she has such a grasp on what women want and how to make us look feminine and confident. She always uses the most luxurious fabrics and sexiest prints and impeccable tailoring to make her collection significantly more distinct then her competitors. I love that you can always point out one of her looks at a party, and I honestly wish I could afford more of her clothing.
