Ugh, while I love clutches because they can be so utilitarian (cast as wallets) or as embellishment (double as accessories), they kind of look the same after awhile. Thanks to the powers that be that Roberto Cavalli is here to bestow some unique and conceptual versions of the clutch. I feel like I should […]
Mythical beaches where the wind sings and the water laps in time. Imagine walking along the shoreline, lost in thought, dressed exquisitely in white, and carrying a complex, overly designed clutch.

I’m thinking of what to wear for an upcoming wedding in Sag Harbor, but this ensemble would be appropriate anywhere with Spring-like conditions, near water or not.

edited 4/15: I realize this post has nothing to do with handbags, but forgive me for this one trespass.
In third grade, I watched with envy as some of the girls in my class joined Brownie scouts, and I imagined them learning how to tie sailor knots or weave a rug or something. In fourth grade, as an extracurricular activity, my teacher taught some of my friends and me how to crochet and […]
Sorry for the lack of posting. I haven’t really found anything lately to titillate. This lull in finding something scrumptious actually had me thinking about my thought process. Collecting handbags is pretty much like stocking a kitchen pantry. You need a little bit on the sweet side, a little on the […]
Frick. I think I might pee in my pants. Oh, that is so un-p.c., but hey, it’s my blog, and my tolerance is high. Oh, man, it this thing goooooor-geous, or what?! Worth its weight in gold. This indescribably beautiful thing is a bargain, given that it can be a […]
I had a chance to see these in person at my local Target, and they are certainly available online for purchase. As you might guess, the material is the polyurethane version of patent or naplak , which unfortunately is being overused by Target. That being said, since the material is of no relevation, […]
I just love that crinkled texture! A cousin of the traditional patent, naplak is of a similar method by which a plastic coating is heated to adhere onto a fabric surface. The effect looks less uniform as if the process was done by hand versus a machine. The “distressed” look of naplak […]
Instead of wearing ethereal layers of white of the bohemian variety, take it formal with an asymmetrical dramatic cocktail dress. Eschew roman sandals for roman-like diva booties in winter suede. Forget the straw bag, and take out a lambskin beauty that begs to be touched. This ensemble is just a testament of […]
Black on black and an east-west orientation is simply iconic. Never can go wrong. Fits essentials and then some yet the appearance doesn’t reflect the heft and bulk lay secreted away between its buttery folds. Silhouette is the same but treatment can go from rockster fab from De Couture to Parisian chic based […]
There is an inverse relationship between the number of warmer days and the need to wear multiple layers. Like water giving away as the last visage of morning frost to morning dew, our skin yearns to be warmed by the same source. So, we break out the sun-dresses and plant our feet […]
