Like many women (and some men too), I was obsessed with the fashion in Sex and the City. Especially, whatever Sarah Jessica Parker was wearing. I mean, her character, Carrie Bradshaw, always had the best of the best: clothes, shoes, jewelry and bags! (On a side note, she also had the best hair and men on the show too, right? But I digress…) Anyway, some of Carrie’s fashion even made its ...

Steal du Jour: Zara Suede Graduated Color Clutch
Like many women (and some men too), I was obsessed with the fashion in Sex and the City. Especially, whatever Sarah Jessica Parker was wearing. I mean, her character, Carrie Bradshaw, always had the best of the best: clothes, shoes, jewelry and bags! (On a side note, she also had the best hair and men on the show too, right?

Marni channels Mod, 60′s-style with this graphic print tote
The era of Mod fashion has always been one I was into. To this day, I love a good A-line minidress with a mock neck and some interesting colorblock graphic prints. À la Twiggy. I’m immediately sold on anything that has a geometric print, or contrasting colors accented by sharp lines. Which is one of the reasons I love Marni so much. Everything from their wood platform heels to their geometric ...

We love statement bags! They’re the ones that get you stopped on the street with questions like “Where’d you get that bag?” and “Who’s the designer?” How’s this for a statement bag? The Marni Archivio Storico Bicolor Mini Duffel bag is season-less, timeless and fun. Made of smooth lambskin leather, this round duffel features a multicolor circle pattern ...

Haute bag of the week: Alexander Wang Small Emile Tote
We love Alexander Wang for all of the edgy, downtown-girl stuff that he designs. And we love this bag even more because it brings to mind another designing Alexander we loved – McQueen. This Alexander Wang Small Emile Tote feels like the two collaborated on it and designed it together – even though we know it’s not possible, but it just has that feel. It brings to mind a cross between ...

Spring into simplicity with Clare Vivier’s Neon Stripe Flat Clutch
The older, ahem – more mature I get, the less I feel the need to carry handbags covered in logos. Simplicity is what attracts me now. Personally I prefer a classic silhouette with some fun, but understated details. Add some sharp lines, and a touch of ‘pop’ and I’m good to go! And though I’m a lover or large bags, when the weather gets warmer, don’t you feel the need ...
Elizabeth Olsen at the ‘Silent House’ premiere with The Row Metal framed lizard clutch
One of the benefits of having sisters who are high-end fashion designers is that you’ve got an endless selection of fashion items to choose from! Elizabeth Olsen is making her mark as an actress – not to be overshadowed by big sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley. But lucky for her, the twins have several fashion lines to ‘shop’ from, so it’s no surprise that she showed up on the ...
Haute bag of the week: Chloé Madeleine Tote in Green Tea
Pantone may have named Tangerine Tango the 2012 color of the year but I’ve been seeing an explosion of mint green that makes me think differently. While last year was all about colorblock, this year is all about neon brights and pastels. And the ruling pastel right now is mint green. I love the simplicity of the color, and how it seems to pair so well with neutrals and brights. The key to wearing ...
Meet Mulberry’s latest bag: the Del Rey
This isn’t the first time a bag has been named after a celebrity, and it certainly isn’t the first for Mulberry. The ever popular Alexa bag was named after It girl Alexa Chung; the latest is their Del Rey bag named for singer Lana Del Rey. To be honest, I have no clue what she sings but she’s been popping up on red carpets here and there and now has the major honor of having a Mulberry ...
