What Maury Wore Today

NYC weather this week has been very humid and on days like this you just feel like being naked and wear as little as possible. Well, I wanted to wear one of my new purchases.  I purchased this dress at  El Mundo (translates to "THE WORLD") which is like a discounted department store in Washington Heights and in the Bronx that carries closeout merchandise from stores like Bloomingdales, Loehmanns, Macys and even Barneys. They have a chain of them and my mom has been addicted to this store for quite sometime, I of course followed her lead. Gisela and I have been avid shoppers at El Mundo for years but we had a lot of months without visiting. Well, let me tell you I found some pretty cool stuff this past weekend which I will post as I wear them out. Today I wore the See by Chloe dress I bought for 12 bucks...yes $12. Talk about a little deal! So I was really happy to find this dress which is made in a very pretty printed floral silk that reminds me of Dries Van Noten last Spring Collection with the amazing floral prints. This is just one of the purchases I made at EL MUNDO. I will post the things I bought as I wear them. From an Amazing Halston Jumpsuit a la  Bianca Jagger in Studio 64 time, to a timeless draped Grecian black dress Isabel Toledo designed for Anne Klein, to a beautiful White tutu from Oscar de la Renta which Gisela is going to help me style...and many many more!

Wearing See by Chloe Dress, VIntage Studded Belt I bought in Italy, and Ash Gladiator Sandals.
I
love my new gladiator leather sandals I got at Century 21 with the gold
platted studs. They are designed by ASH and are called Mystic Ankle
Wrap Sandals. These were the last in the store so I was excited to find
them in my size! If you like them Endless.com sells them for $335.

I
got these CASADEI Earth Sasso boots at El Mundo too for a mere $65!!!!
Retail price was $990 so I was extremely elated to get them for so
cheap! They rise pass the knees and are so comfortable. I love the
chain detail in the back. I will be wearing these to death this winter.
They have a slight equestrian feel to it but with an edge and that is
what I love about them. I love it when designers juxtapose different
elements and make it their own! Great job Casadei! You can also fold
them down so they have multiple ways to style them.

 

 

Last but not least, I found these Givenchy boots at Loehmanns like 2
months ago and haven't had a chance to wear them yet. They actually
remind me of the new Giuseppe Zanotti Buckle boots he designed for
Balmain for Fall 09.

However, mine don't have as many buckles, but I still love them and I am enamored with the taupe color! I have so many purchases that I still haven't posted because my time is so limited, but soon I am going to welcome you into my closet and show you some exciting new things! Thanks so much for bearing with me and being patient! Also, many thanks for giving Gisela and I so much love and attention. By the way, the apt renovations are looking great and I just bought the wooden floors for the room that I will convert into a walk in closet. So excited :)

XOXOXOXO, Maury
