The floral-print trend is in full bloom this spring! (Pun intended). We first caught a glimpse of florals on the spring 2012 runways, and on celebrity It girls over the past few months. Drew Barrymore recently wore a vibrant J.Crew Jules Floral Print Silk Dress on the Tonight Show, paired with delicate Aurelie Bidermann jewelry and chunky suede Brian Atwood shoes. Solange Knowles rocked a blue floral print suit at Diane Von Furstenberg’s Fall 2012 show. She paired it with a contrasting orange and white print top and yellow pointed-toe pumps. Actress Tika Sumpter wowed at the Tracy Reese show...  Read More..

We’ve been on the hunt for a few handbags to update our fall wardrobe and the MICHAEL Michael Kors ‘Hamilton – Large’ Distressed Tote tops the list. The distressed leather, gold hardware and logo-engraved locket gives this tote character, and is more visually appealing than leather in pristine condition because it has a vintage, rustic quality that we love.  The worn, faded finish is a contrast to feminine, flirty pieces and also looks fabulous with jeans and boots. The ‘Hamilton-Large’ Distressed Tote also features rolled handles, a chain and leather...  Read More..

Happy April! Since the first day of this month has been marked with a heavy rain/ light snowstorm in NYC, it looks like umbrellas and wellies are on our shopping radar.

What color is the new black? Depending on who you ask, the answers differ. But my pick is navy, thanks to this stylish, trendsetting tote. The Miu Miu Studded shoulder bag is the pick of the season, combining haute trends (stud detail and convertible straps) with a truly classic design. Miu Miu uses simple shapes and solid leathers to create classic bags that stand out in spite of their simplicity. This bag works equally well as a corporate companion for day, as well as for the night owls. The blue leather mixed with the vertical rows of gold studs gives this bag a nautical feel, yet strays far...  Read More..

I think it’s safe to say that Tory Burch has become one of my top 5 favorite go-to designers, because I can depend on her mix of classic, chic and comfortable pieces. Each season I look forward to viewing what new Tory Burch items will end up in my closet next! Her holiday 2008/2009 collection is full of covetable looks and new twists on classic faves. Inspired by Truman Capote‘s Black and White Ball in 1966, the collection consists of a classic black, white and grey palette offset with vivid pops of color like fuchsia, violet and apple green. And as always, Tory Burch’s clothing...  Read More..

It’s not easy being green. But being green’s just a little better if you’re the Alexander McQueen Melrose Tote. It is a smart, stylish bag in a fabulous new shape and stunning shade of green. Double shoulder straps meet through grommets at the top of the bag, while a leather and brass turnlock closure secures the smooth front flap. The weathered Italian leather adds the perfect touch to this contemporary tote bag. $1,435, Saks Fifth Avenue Share and Enjoy  Read More → Read More..

Paint makes a splash for Spring 2008 fashion! Seen on the runway at Dolce & Gabbana, paint inspired looks should be on your fashion radar. Try your hand at paint-strokes with a dress from Claudia E and the Vince Paint Brush Shift Dress. Or jazz up solids with paint-splattered accessories like the Jenny Yuen Honeycomb Cleo Clutch, the YSL Raspail Tote and the Sergio Rossi paint drip pumps. Feeling casual? Put on a pair of Diesel’s paint splatter skinny jeans and a white tank top and you’re ready to make a splash! Image Source: Wireimage Share and Enjoy ...  Read More..

Sometimes in design, the pieces fit together just like a puzzle. This is evident in Henry Cuir’s Puzzle Bag. Hand–stitched leather ‘puzzle’ pieces form the body of the bag – bulging shapes give it a 3-D appeal. A lengthy strap is perfect to wear over the shoulder, and a beaded closure adds an unexpected feminine touch. It’s a piece that will fit perfectly into your wardrobe. $995, Barney’s Share and Enjoy  Read More → Read More..

Like the supermodel herself, Alek Wek’s ‘Cecile Medium Pebble’ tote carries itself with class. This basic black oversized bucket, reminiscent of an attaché, is simply ornamented with a dashing duo of horizontal zippers. A simple adjustable strap, polished brass buckle, and sparse stud detail makes this shoulder bag highly sensible and exceedingly desirable. The line, Wek1933, was loosely inspired by her late father’s briefcase and simplicity can certainly be found throughout all the pieces, particularly the Cecile. Which is likely to become as sought after as its designer. ...  Read More..
