Have you checked out all of the fall handbag trends yet? If not, you’re in luck. I did a bunch of research and found the best picks for 6 of the major trends this season. I’m in a bit of a handbag rut. In my 20s, I spent a lot of time thinking about, researching,…
For the second time, I’m teaming up with some other bloggers to give away at Gucci Marmont. Last time, I shared the 11 reasons I want my own Gucci Marmont. Now’s your chance to win one for yourself. Check out the entry details below. This week I am teaming up with an amazing group of…
Paint splattered clothing made a major come back this past fall. I say “come back” because I can remember this intentionally messy trend from way back in the 80’s. I personally wouldn’t wear it on my clothes, but I’m really loving paint splatter purses, shoes and accessories (look at these Manolos!). I first fell for the…
If you asked me to wear snakeskin or animal print clothing, I’d scoff at you. I just don’t like it (my reasons why are for another post). I don’t like it in clothing, but I do like it in accessories. I am absolutely smitten with snakeskin shoes and handbags. I love snakeskin because it generally looks really lux,…
Metallics were everywhere on the spring/summer 2014 runways, such as Saint Laurent. Earlier this spring, I shared a gorgeous Saint Laurent gold metallic futuristic dresses in my Oscars fashion post that I would love to own. But if all-over metallic is too much for you, don’t lose hope. If you don’t want to wear the metallic trend in your…
It’s officially beach season, yay! I recently bought a practical beach tote (on sale!) for lugging Rocco’s sand toys to the beach. Although practical, I also wanted to get a cute adult-friendly version to go with my new one-piece (seriously, how cute is this for such a steal?!), so I started browsing for black accented…
I first noticed fruit inspired fashion accessories when I was window-browser shopping Neiman Marcus’ new handbag arrivals. I fell hard for Edie Parker’s orange slice clutch. Why? Because it’s unique, it’s playful, it’s unexpected and it’s fun. Fruit inspired fashion seems to be everywhere this season, in clothes and accessories. I like the idea of adding…
When it comes to purses, I believe in quality over quantity. If you invest in a high quality leather purse, it can last you for years. For the past several years, I have rotated the same few purses depending on the season or what I’m wearing. I make an exception to the quality over quantity…
A friend recently asked me to do a post on work wear. I got to thinking about traditional office attire and remembered the first suit I ever purchased for an interview. I was 22; it was black, ill-fitting, and boring. At the time, I didn’t know the power of a good tailor to help even…
Here are a few things I’d love to have, with Halloween in mind. Spiders are probably the insects that scare me the most, but somehow I find this cup and saucer so chic. I didn’t think it was possible to find vampire fangs cool, but Bittersweets NY did it with their baby vamp ring set….
Animal prints never really go out of style. Sure, pink neon leopard might only last one season, but timeless prints tend to hang on. This fall is no exception. I admit I’m not a fan of all-over animal print in clothing, but I like adding subtle touches in shoes and accessories. Snakeskin or python print…
I am seriously into purses (and shoes)—you could almost call it an addiction. Sprawled on the couch with my laptop, chances are good that I’m browser-window shopping for handbags. What started as a minor obsession to find a Marc Jacobs STAM bag, back in 2005, has become a weekly, if not daily, obsession to find the…
