He said he was giving me a deal because this particular duvet cover once belonged to Billy Idol. …
It may be the DIYer in me but I loved seeing this fabulous bag deconstructed and all the elements compartmentalized into pieces and getting a sneak peek into the process it takes to become its destiny 😉 The Louis Vuitton monogram has been graffiti’d, Murakami’d, embroidered, fringed, cut, pasted, and collaged in a myriad of …

This post is sponsored by Ricola… all opinions {and handbags :} are my own. It took me forever to decide which handbag was worthy of my small savings this year and just right for my Fall/Winter wardrobe.

Like all other fashion trends, and especially everything from the 90′s at this very moment, backpacks as handbags are making a comeback in a BIG way.

Somewhere in the early 2000’s Coach went all logo-ey on me and I’m sad to say that I jumped ship. There was a certain type of woman who was buying into that look, and it wasn’t my style. Since then I haven’t given Coach much thought let alone, the benefit of the doubt. I’m not …

Just a quick little post filled with materialism and opulence… because pretty bags and shoes make for such pretty photos, and I know you’re just dying to know what I got for my birthday, no? 🙂 My husband completely surprised me with the 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli bag I’d admitted to falling in love with …
image via Purse Blog I don’t know about you but I am constantly on the hunt for the perfect black handbag. Sometimes I find one that will make do, but I’m never ever completely satisfied with it. I’m not sure what it is but I know I’m not alone. I have heard the handbag search …
I love handbags and I love shopping {I mean, who doesn’t?} so when Kooba and ideeli asked if I’d help them spread the word about their upcoming partnership and SALE, I had only one answer for them, YES! The duo sent me three bags to try out and style to share on their Faceook page …
I can spend hours, it seems, on the Hermès website… not at their shopping site per se, but they have this travel the world of Hermès section with tons of pretty little short films, fun doodles, and dreamy imagery that is their mood board of sorts. Once a month or so, I peek around it …
