Two great prints of Liberty’s past, the Ianthe and the Hera have been heralded back to capture the brand’s belle epoque days through its creative line, Liberty of London. Ianthe, circa 1900, is grounded firmly in the art nouveau with interlacing swirls of stylized flora and fauna. Hera, a design created in 1876, is […]
I haven’t been shopping much outside of the house, so I can’t say with certainty what fabulous finds are actually in existence. However, I have been glued to my laptop and searching for golden sales, but I can’t say I’ve found much. Most have been a continuation of fall sales. On […]
After much anticipation, I get a thrill every few months when Target releases limited-edition collections by today’s crop of emerging designers. Here, the company has teamed up with Jessie Randall of Loeffler Randall to guest design for the Trend Accessories division. The winner of the 2007 CFDA Swarovski Award for Accessory Design studied […]
It’s rare to see suede handbags carried these day, or displayed in advertisements, but that only means that for those of us who happen to love suede, it’s easier to scoop a beautiful one quickly. Let’s take a second here to admire the material. While some of you may consider it a con that […]
Can’t believe it’s December already, and that we have to get the lights, tree, and ornaments out of storage (yes, I have a fake tree). My neighbors had put their decor up the day after Thanksgiving. I feel like a slacker, but that kind of guilt still won’t get me off my duff […]
I call forth images from my youth for inspiration. My impressionable fashion years took place in the late 60’s and early 70’s. I remember the fabulous stick straight hair, pink lipstick, caterpillar plush eyelashes, chunked heels and low hip-huggers worn by mother’s friends. On the telly, I remember reruns with women in […]

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 […]
I’ll be lamenting soon, because these Art Deco-inspired jewels will be sold out by December. I won’t even have a chance to pretend to buy, and that will be a very gray day. All of the items in this collection run on the smallish side, thus classifying them as lady purses. But, they […]
Since ages, handbags have been the symbol of one’s taste and sign of one’s level of refinement. Classics, Gucci handbags or Chanel, have been quite popular in the past. Today, the masses tote around current favorites like Louis Vuitton handbags or even Prada handbags. However, how is a girl who is just as fashionably, classically […]
Only the inimitable Lulu Guinness can revive a retro throwback into fashion again, minus the annoyances that characterize most thrift shop finds. Short of mint, the usual vintage condition presents some unattractive features. I’m talking about faux leather, plastic lining that’s cracking at the seams and inner corners, and a tiny interior space that fits […]
