Hmmm… there seems to be a trend here - Kate Spade is now making clutch purses from cork & patent leather.
The “Tivoli - Flat Ava” cork clutch purse:

Are you on the look-out for a romantic & unique handbag? I think that Constance Muller’s “Boutique Rochambeau” may do the trick…
You can go floral:
The “Bella Blossom” handbag
Or if you’re looking for a Japanese-toned handbag - there’s the “Cherry Blossom”:
Or you could even go with whimsical sea shells:
The “Summer Sea Shell”.

Mr Steve Madden has done it again with his “Bukled” shoe. That sure looks similar to the “Closed Front Cage Sandals” from the Balenciaga fall/winter 2007 collection:

Normally, I’m a big fan of Prada, after all they’ve brought us the Sfumato patent leather shoes, feminine flowers and even cool videos…
This handbag has me scratching my head though:
It’s got so much going on with it that it almost reminds me of the LV Tribute bag - and that’s not a good thing!
What’s your […]

Most people who know me well, know that I don’t function particularly well without a cup of coffee in the morning. I tend to haul myself, reluctantly, out of bed and stumble around with my eyes half-shut until I’ve had my cuppa…
I wonder if wearing this charming cast sterling silver jewelry by Amy Pfaffman would […]

Pucci never fails to put a smile on my face with their shoe collection, and these satin high heels in “Acqua” prove it :-)
Elegant lines, high quality construction and a whimsical, but very wearable pattern… shoe heaven!

I must admit, these won’t be to everyone’s taste… in fact - I think you’re guaranteed to get an extreme reaction when you wear them. But I have to admit, I kind of like them. Yes, I have weird taste in shoes sometimes :-)

I adore vintage and antique purses - I’ve got quite a few in my own personal collection :-) There’s something about the attention to detail and delicacy that older evening bags have.
I was tickled pink to see that Anna Sui is using some of the vintage purses as inspiration for her Fall 2008 Collection […]
