favorite smells - new leather bags

This probably won’t make me happy with my vegan fans - but I’ve got a confession to make…
One of my favorite smells in the world is leather.
I know, it’s weird - but the smell of a new leather purse like this lovely handbag from Furla makes me happy :-)

If you want to check out some […]

a camo handbag to match your patent leather camo slingbacks

Okay, I give in - if you’re going to wear camouflage patent leather slingbacks, why not accessorize with a camo purse as well?

Kling bags

I was just recently introduced to Kling Handbags, designed by Natasha Kimling Kwan.  Her funky clutch purses and mini-clutches are made from human-friendly polyurethane (which also means the bags are vegan as well).
Check out her bags and I think you’ll agree that you don’t need leather to build a fantastic bag!

Is that a rubber ducky on your purse?

I can’t resist this whimsical leather purse from Gilli:

It’s got a rubber ducky on it!
Of course, I should probably confess that I’ve got a collection of rubber ducks in my bathroom…

Moschino heart bag

Okay ladies, I need your opinion on this bag from Moschino:

It’s the satin & patent leather “Heart Shoulder Bag” - and I’m just not sure about it… Is this one of those bags that strictly for the 21 and under crowd, or can someone pushing 30 (not that it would be me….) pull it off?

Call Me Betsey

No, you can’t call me Betsey - that’s the name of this whimsical handbag from Betsey Johnson!

It’s not the handbag for a dressy dinner out, or for a night at the opera - but at only $65 it’s a reasonable price for a fun purse that’s perfect for showing your sense of humor :-)

summer whites

Do you need a break from the intense colors of summer?  Too much bold yellow and bright turquoise?  How about trying some summer whites?  Soft, elegant and very wearable when the mercury starts to climb…

accessories from One Starry Nite

I was just recently introduced to “One Starry Nite“, a company started by a female Marine, who was inspired to help during two tours in Iraq. She began working with women in Afghanistan, Indonesia, China and other nations to empower themselves by creating high-quality work like this lovely large “Flower Drum” tote:
