Did you ever want to be an artist, living the life right out of a New York Minute fairytale? Preferably wearing black from head to toe, kicking back looking acquisitive and relaxed at the same time at your huge gallery opening down in SoHo. Ahhhh, I wish…..at least, I think that would be, […]
Admittedly not the most original, but the huge bursting rose on a handbag is unequivocally tantalizing, making the heart beat faster, the palms get sweaty, and thoughts of taking the pocketbook out for some major spending. Yes, it looks very much like the larger and maturer version of YSL’s Nadja, or more aptly, as […]
Heart’s desire realized in corporeal form. Appearing to the left, visions of red and white posies tied together for the blissed walk down the aisle. Ripened excitement of the day’s event is cusping. This techno-laced petite sac from Marni appears to float in at one with the ethereal good tidings and well-wishers […]
The fashion world has lost an icon. We will miss Yves Saint Laurent, a great visionary, a great artist.
I love all things preppy. LL Bean’s classic boat totes are de riguer for me as much as Hervé Chapelier might be for others. No matter which side you like your bread buttered, they are ostensibly very similar. Stenciled cut, squared off, and formatted in colors one would find on a Pantone […]
Of this quartet of images, let’s look at the very top left. This is the most “accessible” of all, meaning that it’s available online for a mere $1.5k to anyone who comes along. Pretty swanky still, but of course as this is from the luxury jewelry brand, Bulgari. The other three accompanying […]
Artisans possess the gift to chisel a chink off the mundane and allows us to discover the exquisite deeper and more layered vista to comtemplate. I herald Filipina sensation, Bea Valdes, a master crafter of the humble bead. Each bead strung by hand, each bag never identical but fraternal. Into the recipe, […]
If you always wanted a Mombasa handbag, which was created in the Tom Ford era for Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche, but have had trouble finding one on eBay or anywhere else for that matter, feast your eyes on this. Not bad, eh? It even has a gosh darn real horn handle attached […]
A uncomplicated silhouette, but heavily laden with intricate surface decor mimicking Moorish ceramic design, the Margaretha bag by Escada is clearly an iconic resort bag. The large, boxy satchel is functional for holiday’s day and evening, offering versatility by tightening the vertical straps anchored on either side from bottom to the small horizontal straps […]
Have I been under a rock? Perusing the web per usual instead of doing something of necessity (like folding laundry and picking up toys….boooooorrrrring!), I found The Sak. Yes, the same Sak that you see our mothers wear (no insult intended if it isn’t for your mother) or our grandmothers. Everytime […]
It’s quite difficult to put a spin on an old way of doing things. Let’s just say that to think outside the box is easy to say, but difficult to do. On a recent excursion to P-town, a friend of mine strolled into one of many stores full of uniquely crafted wares (for […]
Okay, you don’t have to bring the ubiquitous hawaiiana bag to the beach. Picking out the perfect beach bag is a conundrum of mine, actually: how to stay stylish with your awesome swimwear but not be afraid to let it get wet, sandy, and dirty. These options can help to spur the […]
