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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
Lately, I find it a bit hard to part with funds. I have, in the past, put out over $1000 for a bag or two, but, to be honest, I have found that my comfort level is around $750. So, while going a-hunting over the web, I noticed that many designers, big and not-so-big, […]
One of my favorite color combinations is grey and violet. I think, from my mind’s eye, I always associate these hues with castles, fairy tales, and all things most childlike (Hey, remember, I’m a mom with two young girls. Princesses and High School Musical rule my abode. I surrendered a long time […]
Although prices and other important purchasing information such as dimensions and available colors aren’t quite online entirely, one can still call Botkier (Well, I’m being pedantic. Actually, some can be acquired via Saks, Neiman Marcus or Bergdorf Goodman) to shop the look and be one of the first to sashay into the office filling […]
After much turmoil at the level of operations, which quickly trickled down to design, it appears that Jil Sander has found its voice again since being freed in 2007 from the grasp of the Prada Group. Now, at the helm led by head designer Raf Simons, there is a noticeable surge of productivity in […]
With sales like these, it’s a cinch to attain a reputable, well-made designer bag without a second thought. An editorial darling, Hayden Harnett, designs with a modern sensibility of which the tailor meets the gypsy, i.e., the slightly bohemian lady. Oxymoron, perhaps, but it’s our reality. In a fast-paced work atmosphere complicated by time […]
Vacation plans. Looking for something different and adventurous than the usual homage to London or Paris. Perhaps you feel that a trek through the Galapagos Islands or an air-hop to Montenegro fits your mood for the alternative. Whatever it may be, keep the same mind-frame for picking a workhorse tote to accompany […]
I am that kind of person who loves the idea of rainfall and snow, but put me in that situation, and I know that I’ll go into a dark place. Spending a decade in NYC, I know myself to be that way. I would need one of those lamps that simulates the […]
I, once again, have been giving in to wanderlust for atypical green acreage, soft sloping hills, and wine or cheese tasting. It’s never a bad time in my mind for travel, although my reality and commitments usually put a halt to that kind of thinking. Nevertheless, the dream function of the mind has […]
