Sometimes, you need a handbag to play second fiddle or even incognito, because you have to get so much done without the weight of a regular carryall. With such small surface area, the details of smaller wonders need to be exact and minimal, yet still aspire to their larger siblings. I think […]
One makes you a fan. Having two makes you a superfan. But, three, ah, three, makes you a collector. Okay, here’s my deal. I am a big fan of Yves Saint Laurent. Ever since my mother dabbed on that Rive Gauche perfume back in the 1970s, I have had an infatuation […]
Are you a bit tired of seeing the same old bags online. Albeit cute, sometimes fierce, but routine exposure makes me yearn for something different. More stimuli, please. So, then I saw the new Spring line from Alexis Hudson. Have you had a chance to check them out? Outrageously chic. […]
An evening wear that reveals buffed, glossed shoulders and shapely legs with a hint of sun will always put me in a good mood because I get to ignore my middling section for the whole evening, and still feel assured that I uphold the glamour that basically exists pretty nicely in mind but tends to […]
What’s more lovely than going into a shop, and finding ALL your needs catered to in one landing. Thank you, Mulberry, for your varied yet characteristic designs, such as the Maxi Mabel that can take me from a morning of running about with notebooks, scarves, and a plastic ziplock full of snacks/food. Thank you […]
Unapologetically confident, calling into consciousness Picasso and Hemmingway and their poetic bravado. Fierce femme wills a front and center stage. Feel free to add other incidentals while shopping, such as men’s shoes, sunglasses, and/or a bold watch to enunciate the line between feminine and masculine sensuality.

Nothing short of hyperbolic, Lisa Hazelwood’s website, vintageskins.com, is a plus-perfect collection of only vintage and antique exotic skin items. Lovely, artful purses, mostly alligator and crocodile, she also has sections dedicated to lizard and snakeskin and for lesser known such as ostrich, turtle, zebra, even frog. All bags are […]

My first impression? “Too cute!” I remember seeing the Turnlock Dot on the Marc Jacobs website, and I couldn’t wait until it was ready to retail. Well, my wait is over, as it and a few other fun yet suave options are available via eLuxury. I don’t think I have to […]
One dress, in a seasonless fabric that has been cut, pieced and draped provocatively to bare just enough skin, can be a perfect mutable partner for all hours. Keep it grounded with chunked accessories and shoes for day. Transform to serious night bird with a most expensive and glittering necklace and sophisticated […]
The weather has been so wonderfully temperate here in So. Cal. that we decided to do a little weekend getaway not far from us to Santa Barbara. Picturesque college town meets No. Cal. coastline beauty, which means living outdoors for you who are athletically inclined and shopping for others, like me. It […]
It’s like having canned and preserved food in your pantry in case of hurricane, earthquake, or which ever emergency. You know, just in case. It’s like having band-aids, aspirin, allergy pills, nail clipper, and clear nail polish in your make-up bag for those little emergencies while you’re away from home. […]
