Sucks in The City: Whitney Port on set with her Rebecca Minkoff ‘Stud Devote’ belted tote
June 22, 2009 by Ehmonie Hainey · 1 Comment

As much as we love Whitney Port, her show The City is no Hills. She was photographed out and about in NYC, filming the second season of her unfortunate lackluster spinoff show. Whitney unfortunately can’t hold her own on her own show, but she certainly can in the fashion department. Really, who else could pull off a simple button down shirt, harem pants and animal print heels? Ok honestly, Whitney doesn’t quite pull it off either. We were just too distracted by her Rebecca Minkoff ‘Stud Devote’ Belted Tote to really notice. Read more

Splurge du Jour: The Crocodile Ricky Bag by Ralph Lauren
June 19, 2009 by Ehmonie Hainey · Leave a Comment
In these recessionary times, no one really wants to spend $16,995 on a handbag. (Not even Beyonce). But a girl can dream, can’t she? One of my dream bags is the Crocodile Ricky 33 Bag by Ralph Lauren. Inspired by a vintage Cooper saddle carrier, this now iconic bag is crafted from exquisite hand-selected African crocodile and finished with custom silver- and rhodium-plated brass hardware.

Christian Louboutin Sculptural Satin Clutch
June 19, 2009 by Ehmonie Hainey · 7 Comments

My sister despises bows - on tops, dresses, accessories - virutally on anything. But I’m the complete opposite. I adore bows - in moderation, of course - because they add such a girlish element to any look. But the Christian Louboutin Sculptural Satin Clutch presents the bow in a more refined, ladylike manner.

Although I am at heart a handbag and accessories addict, I do love my fashion too. So Project Runway is in my list of must-watch television shows (and no, I do not like that wannabe replacement, The Fashion Show). Anyway, the last Project Runway winner Leanne Marshall captured my heart with her final collection but my fave throughout the season was Liberian-born designer Korto Momolu. Read more

Papa Karl Lagerfeld’s got a brand new bag
June 1, 2009 by Ehmonie Hainey · Leave a Comment

He injects his strange and narcissistic personality into his designs which make for some interesting runway looks, like those infamous Chanel gun shoes, those lace-covered Chanel sunglasses and who can forget those handbags emblazoned with his face for the models to wear as masks on the runway?
