These ultra-feminine, youthful clutches by Allison Abney are whimsy personified. With the New Year coming up, these pretties project the exact attitude to take on for that particular occasion. For some of us (maybe, most of us?) who live in jeans and probably will ne’er diverge shall be happy to find that these […]
Survey, measure and calculate each area for the circumferential impact that you will make upon entering the room. Black multiplied by shapes and textures equals a varied landscape even when the palette is discrete. Youth intersects sophistication with curves in the attire while hexagonal planes firmly plant abstracted Austenian beauty into 2007 aesthetics. […]
Saturday night. There’s a cool little bistro in town. Reservations not needed. Menu consists of seasonal game and vegetables, plus freshly made desserts like vanilla ice cream laced with lavender buds. It’s casual with an haute edge. Apropos of this occasion would be a day dress re-wired with shiny metal. […]
Accentuate the geometric shapes and lines of the dress with a jazzy, graphic Art Deco graphic clutch. Punctuate the dress’ angles by making an obvious contrast with the swirled diagonals of dandy-ish pump accented by a single crystal brooch. Other than a distinctive shoe and purse, I can’t imagine wearing any other kind type of […]
Yeah….I don’t think this one will make it into a holiday party, unless it is thrown by Tim Burton. Oddly, I find that this outfit catches my attention. Is that a good thing? It’s definitely sexy. Or is it cartoon-ish? Like Tim Burton? Which, would make it cool, right? The […]
Choices, choices, choices. Would you consider having many an adventure or perhaps a dreaded errand? I feel that it sometimes is like the latter. If someone gave me a dizzyingly array of options, I can get information overload…but hey, that’s me, Ms. Slowpoke. However, if you are all vim and vigor, Lauren Merkin […]
Put away the A4 folders and the pda and phone of your choice, slide open your drawer to scoop up the granite sized ring, pull out the arabesque detailed heels from your bottom file drawer. The versatile Jimmy Choo clutch is the perfect statement of subtle elegance to clip under your arm or suspend […]
I guess I’m one of the last to know but Sigerson Morrison makes handbags. I can only guess what is in that shop in the neighborhood, Nolita– wonderful I’m sure. For now, I will have to content myself with what is present on their website. Here we have a […]
A little black dress needs a little black bag as an escort for upcoming chit-chat and feasting parties. Clutches are so de rigueur, and I prefer mine to offer limbs the quick mobility to grab finger food, a wine glass and my child’s hand at arm’s length. A cocktail bag should be […]
Finally, someone has decided to let some of us share in the wealth. So smart of Bag Borrow or Steal to implement a loaning program for collectible arm ware. Now, it is possible to carry museum worthy purses for that event you deem worthy for presentation. As BBS says, vintage is […]
You Say “Clutches”, I Say “Wallets”. We might as well call them, Wlutches. There I go again, using that awful blend, even though it is appropriate to describe the current set of ______________ (pick a noun) that are currently offered on the J Crew website. Measuring 9 x 5.5″, they seem miniscule […]
These bags have “L.A.” written all over them. Most people think that So. Cal., the land of celebrities, are all about the “It” bags, but they forget that normal people live here too. L.A. is a combination of hippy dippy meets boutique quality. Look at the architecture to know what I mean. […]
