Yves Saint Laurent

I just couldn’t let the day go by without mentioning this… As I’m sure you already know, fashion icon, Yves Saint Laurent passed away yesterday from cancer.
I love this quote from him “Fashion isn’t just to decorate women, but to reassure them, give them confidence.”

cork clutches

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:

And they do come in fun colors :-)

I like the way they look - but I’m still wondering about how well they’ll age.  Or is this one of […]

feminine handbags from Constance Muller

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”.

I spy with my little eye something that is…

Blatantly scammed from another designer!

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:

regrettable handbags from Prada?

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 […]

coffee bean jewelry

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 […]

satin high heels from Pucci

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!
