Style needs

I got THE CALL. Barneys NY has now marked down the Designer Mens by 70%! I just couldn't resist an instant scooter trip uptown to see if anything worthwhile remained. After trying on a seemingly endless supply of designer duds, I left with these two fabulous finds.

The Dries Van Noten White Cotton Voile Camp Shirt was something I had spied very early on in the season. I appreciate the "Safari Jacket" details on the back and the sheer cotton voile is very sexy and comfortable in the Summer months.

The Prada Nappa Biker Jacket was a fortunate accident. I usually wear a 48 in Prada, so I didn't even think to try this on, as it is a 46, but it fit like it was custom made for me! I normally don't buy Olive Green, but I found the color neutral and subdued and thought it would work well with my predominantly Navy and Grey wardrobe. Olive is a neutral isn't it? The Nappa has a luxurious texture with a subtle sheen. I love the button details at the back.

The best sale shoppers always think ahead to the next season and this Prada jacket is really a Fall weight jacket and will be my first purchase for Fall/Winter '09!

The best part: The Dries Van Noten shirt was originally $310 and was only $94. The Prada jacket was originally $2795 and was only $839, proving that Luxury need not be expensive.
