After a week or two of shopping inactivity, that darn feeling of wanting to buy is slowly creeping back into my bones. No matter what I try, it never goes away for good. I don’t need another bag, though. It wasn’t until I started my round of virtual window shopping and stumbled […]
The nattily dressed menswear designer, Thom Browne has recently unveiled a collection for the Brooks Brothers Black Fleece Collection. With this collaboration, Mr. Browne gifted his avant-garde viewpoint to women’s tailoring and accessories. The amalgam of the classic image held by BB and the hauteur sensibility of Thom Browne has produced a tenet that […]
My most current obsession is Goldenbleu. The bags are refined, lined in suede leather, contemporarily fitting in style, and exudes hep cool-cat, as the line is a manifestation of a San Francisco based designer. I am especially in delight over the label’s offerings for the Fall season with Italian patent leather as the […]
In the midst of the British 2nd Industrial Revolution, Smythson of Bond Street came to existence in 1887. Smythson garnered many admirers of its highest-end leather goods, diaries and personalized stationary, most notably of the time, Queen Victoria. Its status has wavered little since inception, and their products are just as refined and […]
Other than the little black dress, I don’t have that much black in my wardrobe. I think it could be quite aging, and that’s not where I want to go as I’m well into my fourth decade. Anyhoo, I can’t realistically deny myself ‘basic black’ so, as a better alternative, I have many pieces […]

When I was first introduced to her designs, my vision was the first of many senses that feasted. The definitive shapes of her bags first attracted my attention. Then, I was transposed by the tonal variations in her monochromatic line and then by the unapologetically vibrant ones. Next, I was curious to […]
I find these clutches from Jane Bolinger very attractive. While they are attractive because of the exotic skins, personally, the real reason is the jewel-like clasps. They look real, weighty, and the opposite of faux. They resemble antique kilt pins. For me, shopping around for a clutch gives the same sense of […]

There’s nothing more thrilling than finding a designer new to the market. In my enthusiasm in finding something laudable, I get the urge to share it. Feast your eyes on Plunket & Pivet’s eloquent and simple leather clutch. The clutch can realistically be called a handbag when carried at its full length with measurements of […]
Saturdays are for running errands, meeting up with a friend for coffee, going to a matinee or shopping, rendezvous for dinner and more fun. Throw on the cashmere tee over the blouse, and this outfit goes from dawn to dusk with ease. I’m a little peculiar. I like little details so it perked […]
In Southern California, the part of the country where I live, the Fall season means the weather is still around 75 degrees.
