Konstantina & Jacqs been heel deep in developing their latest fabulous venture: covet.com.

Our personal shopping/style email service has been getting tons of coverage on our favorite fashion blogs from SheFinds to The Budget Fashionista.  We also psyched that Glamour.com and Seventeen.com have reviewed covet, plus we’ve gotten love from InStyle.com, luckymag.com, and  StyleWatch on people.com!

It’s been a wild couple of weeks with our press launch in NYC and lots of media stuff in San Francisco.  But we’re getting back to our blogging routine plus constant improvements for covet.com (we’ve added new features almost every day since launch!)

Follow us on Twitter @covetstyle!  We are always tossing up coupon codes and random tidbits. We’re also announcing major contests, giveaways, and covet updates.

I might be just a little excited about Like.com’s hot new makeover. The “Before” and “After” are hard to compare because the improvement is so fabulous.

Fashion-forward shoppers can now use Like’s one-of-kind visual search technology without shopping on a website that feels like digging through the bins at Filene’s Basement. There’s so many new features and its easier than ever to find the trends you like.

Drop me a comment and let me know what you think.

Is Like.com more Beauty and less Geek now?

Hi I have decided to invest in a pair of Marc Jacobs shoes.
I want to spend about $400 to have fabulous shoes that make
me feel really really good. Is there a really hot shoe style or
particular marc jacobs shoe that I should get?
Thanks for your help,
KBJ in WI

EditorJacquie says: Kudos! If you’re not a regular shoe spendthrift, Marc Jacobs (or Marc by Marc Jacobs) is a really solid line to choose from. I’m a fan of Marc Jacobs flats and mary jane-style shoes. But if you’re making an “investment” then you need a pair of shoes that are versatile enough to get worn often and fabulous enough to make you feel chic everytime you slip them on your feet. I have a bunch of fab shoe ideas for you!

I found several Marc Jacobs shoes on Like.com. Like.com shows you all the shoes that LOOK similar so you can spend your shoe money wisely. If you find a style that you love you can purchase a similar pair at cheaper price or add it to your Like List to purchase later.

Marc Jacobs brown leather pump ($336) is a classic women’s dress shoe style but with the streamlined look of high fashion. The stacked heel provides stability (you’ll feel fabulous AND be able to walk). The sheen of the luxe brown leather will wear well with biz suits and jeans alike.


It’s easy to associate feeling fabulous with the color red. For a standout pair of heels that still have versatility, these Marc by Marc Jacobs red heels (only $149!) are a good bet. Stylish red patent leather with a pretty platform heel make these Marc Jacobs shoes a good compliment to basic black dress pants for day. Dress up denim or your favorite flirty skirt with a splash of red!

Currently, my favorite pair of Marc by Marc Jacobs shoes is this white hot leather sandal. ($395) I’ve already written about them! The detail of the side-zip is a genius touch to these already trendy stacked heel wedges. Spring sandals are all about the open toe and these Marc by Marc Jacobs sandals will display your pretty pedicure. Wear white shoes with all your spring dresses and high fashion short shorts.

Bye Bye Plastic!
Keira Knightley sparks a hangbag sell-out with her inexpensive tote by Anya Hindmarch

This past weekend was my best friend Ashleigh’s birthday, but more importantly (Sorry Ash!) it was Earth Day, capping off the month long green celebration of Mother Earth. I plan on taking my old laptop to an electronic recycling collection and then donating a bag of slightly used garments (make room for the new!).

One environmentally friendly act I’ve decided to follow through with throughout the year is cutting back drastically on my use of plastic bags. Hideous, flimsy, and pointless yet, worldwide we use 1 million plastic bags per minute! According to reusablebags.com, in 1999, 14 million trees were cut down to supply the 10 billion paper grocery bags Americans consumed that year alone- so switching to paper isn’t the best solution either.

In 2007 we are slowly starting to recognize the “bag” problem. (Not the “Do I spend my rent money on a Balenciaga bag?” problem.) In San Francisco, they’ve passed legislation to ban supermarket plastic bags.

In order to help ease your pain of being # 4,500,685 on the waiting list for Anya Hindmarch’s now famous canvas “I’m not a plastic bag” bag, I’ve compiled a list of three of my favorite totes. These carry-alls will transport your essentials, corner deli purchases, and farmer’s market produce in style.
