Couture Candy: Not So Easy to Navigate, But Very Cool

Posted on Jul 4, 2008 at 8:59:12 PM | Comments (0)

Couture Candy can be a little confusing for me to browse-- do you know those sites that just don't mesh with your usual internet searching and/or shopping techniques? While the website is on an easy-to-view white ground, search results can come back a little confusing, and you might run into the things you want by accident instead! But that's truly a small price to pay for all the interesting items thrown into this site-- although looking like a basic site with middle-of-the-road designers, you'll find some amazing gems.

Without further ado, here are my Top Five Buys for Couture Candy customers:

1. Interesting Tied Items

Gathered Bow Top in Blue Nights
I was loving all of these tops with bow details offered in Couture Candy-- and strangely enough, they were all from one designer, Qi! This navy top is by far my favorite, but I found lots of other items in similar styles: cropped sweaters with string ties, floppy-bowed tops, and almost secretary-ish pieces. There's lots to choose from.

2. Tunics Galore

Qi Pleated Tunic
ONe of my favorite pieces in general is the tunic. My love for it developed after wearing low-rise jeans for so long with shorter tops. I hate tugging my jeans up, my tops down, and wriggling to keep everything in balance, and tunics are great options. This one has a futuristic edge and a "clean" vibe that's just dreamy.

3. Slouchy Pants

Terry Track Pants
Softly casual pants (especially in terry) are your ticket to relaxation. Slip into a pair of pants with a straight or bootcut leg (cut generously, of course) and feel how very comfortable you really are. It's hard (for me, at least) to justify buying things I only wear at home, but in this case, I'm willing to make an exception. And it's available in plenty of colors, too.

4. Braid Detail Bags

Braided Handle Bag
Okay: this Braided Handle bag by Carla Mancini does not come cheap, but you could be carrying it for 20+ years! This purse, in a vibrant green, cashes in at $502, but I can imagine it with jeans, lots of skirts, going out pieces, and just about everything in between. Calculating that cost-per-wear makes this 100% Italian leather purse look a lot more attractive this time around.

5. Amazing Rings (Braille? Really?)

Blind Faith Ring
This ring has braille on it. How cool is that? In a heavy 14K gold plate look, it's a stunning accessory that's going to take your breath away for real. Enjoy it and its message on this holiday weekend!
