Lodis was established approximately 35 years ago with a first collection in the U.S. retail market using the time-tested skills and quality of Spanish leather crafting. A quick scan of its website confirms a classic, tailored aesthetic with the exception of the Lucca Collection of which some are pictured here. Ironically, it’s […]
It’s hard for me to resist these. Really hard. And, only a few days ago, I told myself that I wouldn’t be checking out Bluefly. So, call me a hypocrite. These gorgeous Downtown totes by Yves Saint Laurent scream St. Tropez. Apparently, while they look big, they are lighter than […]
Parentesi is not so well known on this side of the Atlantic, but it appears that this brand has some clout on the other side that is somewhat akin to our respect for Banana Republic. I have purchased bags from YOOX and I can attest that the leather is very nice, supple and […]
The world of blogging has been fun for me, and it provides a quick resource to pamper myself amongst care-giving and cleaning (remember, I’m a stay-at-home-mom). However, sitting in front of the computer screen for the purpose of finding content has its down-side: too much eBay-ing, too much time spent reading other shopping blogs, […]
Rununcula colors up your handbag. Daffodil yellow hovers over your toes. Vivid orange daylily swaths your physique. Finally, just a touch of raffia signals playfulness. Let’s walk!
Lola, Scrolled Stitched Raffia Fedora Hat, natural raffia with frayed edges and orange top stitching, one size, $130, @ Vivre.
J.Crew, Ruffle Piqué Shift Dress in Rhubarb, […]
Looks like someone has been staring at Van Gogh’s The Starry Night a little too long. The hues and tonality of Prada’s runway collection is remarkably similar to those of Van Gogh’s magnum opus versus the animated bacchanal extravaganza that’s currently on view on the Prada website. Nevertheless, each interpretation plays into […]
I wonder what it’s like to be her…the fashionista. Wait, correction–I wonder how does it FEEL like to be the fashionista. Whether you do or don’t agree with their style, there are women out there who have the bravado to pull off a runway look. I may look at it and […]
Like many of you, I read other handbag blogs too. We all have different slants or point of views, even when it comes to critiquing the same bag, and, there seems to be an equal number of those who do not like the recurring colorblocking theme that Marc Jacobs has employed of late to his […]

Although a throwback of a few decades, these still never go out of style for they are the ambassadors of a certain panache/look thus becoming a key player by just being present. Even without the wearer, these breathe all by themselves, exhaling confidence and inhaling esteem. They trot, aware that, but not […]
At first, I didn’t get into Season 4 of Project Runway. I had gotten used to, and actually started to enjoy, the catfights and what-not (ah, reality telly at its best). Perhaps, it was because I became too much of a “couch potato’ and sort of let the TV images seep into my system. So, […]
I’ve been waiting for this. I’m not sure if they are in stores yet, but clothes and accessories by Milla Jovovich and Carmen Hawk are ‘live’ and ready to rock on Target.com. Here are some items that I plan to buy asap. Unassuming flirty girlish style is synonymous with the advent of Spring […]
