Review: Qara Argentina Leather Hobo

August 4, 2006

Is it possible to have too many handbags? Maybe, but I obviously haven’t reached that point yet. My newest favorite? The Mia Hobo by Qara Argentina. Let me just expand on why: 1. It’s extremely light. 2. The color is incredibly unique (it’s gray, or ‘Charcoal’). 3. It’s extremely light. 4. The leather is fabulously [...]

Review: Odette NY Jewelry

August 1, 2006

I’m not normally very matchy-matchy with earrings/necklaces, but in this case, I make an exception because of the contrast between the oxidized necklace chain and the sterling earrings. The Martin Earrings are quickly becoming my ‘everyday’ earrings becuase they work with everything and and have enough of a presence to be my only accessory. The [...]

Personal Style

July 23, 2006

As I mentioned in “What to Wear, or How I Learned to Love My Hips“, for me, enlightenment comes quickly – with revelations. And then change usually follows; first a change in thought process, then in behavior. Just now, I had a monumental realization that my personal style is ‘practical’ and driven exclusively by purpose [...]

Review: Anna Corinna Lotus Tote

July 6, 2006

This is a fabulous bag. It’s the smaller size Lotus Tote by Anna Corrina and it’s just perfect. When I first started carrying it, I thought I would prefer the larger size, but honestly, this is big enough. It holds my large wallet, makeupbag, keys, phone, a magazine and bottle of water comfortably. And becuase [...]

Review: Begeren Moorea Tote

July 5, 2006

I wrote about new bag designer Begeren a while ago, and just received my two bags for review last week; the Moorea tote above, and the Venice Hobo, reviewed in another entry. I’ve carried them already a few times each, and I love them both. The Moorea tote is by far Begeren’s best seller, and [...]

Review: James Perse Tube Dress + Begeren Hobo

July 3, 2006

James Perse Tube Dres Begeren Venice Hobo Banana Republic 3/4 Striped Tee Castaner Wedge Espadrilles This is one of my favorite dresses. Ever. I don’t wear it alone because my arms are a little less than toned, if you know what I mean. I either layer it over a top, like I am here, or [...]

How to Shop Online

June 23, 2006

Shopping online can be tricky, and frustrating at times, but I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t think it was the best way to do it. Online, you can find a better selection of sizes (I don’t know about you, but size 31-32′s are ALWAYS sold out in the stores) and colors, a wider selection [...]

The Coolest Designers you may not know yet (May 2006)

May 15, 2006

There’s a new “It” bag every season, and magazine editors and celebrity rags are always trying to tell us what to wear based on who’s wearing what. Sure, we appreciate their suggestions, but isn’t part of the fun of fashion working your own individual style using unique pieces, not looking like everyone else? Don’t get us wrong, we love some of the new HOT designers like J Brand, Mike & Chris, and 12th Street, but there are so many phenomenal designers out there, we wanted to create our own hot list, and here it is.

Review: Marc Jacobs Ursula Bag

April 20, 2006

Along with everyone else, I’ve been on a dress kick this month. I love dresses and skirts in warmer weather – I think they’re cooler and infinitely more flattering than shorts or capris (God help us…). But even with all the beautiful dresses designers are offering this season, it’s been quite difficult, and frankly sometimes [...]

T-Shirts: What To Buy

April 2, 2006

While I can’t exactly say that I ‘live’ in t-shirts, they are a staple in my wardrobe, mostly becuase I love to layer. Lately, however, I have been extremely frustrated with most of recent t-shirt purchases. I love the lighter, thinner trend in tees, but unfortunately, many designers who are now trying to do it [...]

Review: Posse NYC Carolina Bag

February 6, 2006

It’s inevitable – just when you think you might finally have enough bags, another one comes around to tempt you. Of course, I’m now of the opinion that you can never have too many bags as long as you love each one you own and they’re all unique. So, when Andrea Posse contacted me to [...]

What to Wear (or, How I learned to Love my Hips)

January 30, 2006

After having lived in my body for 33 years, and interested in personal style and fashion for many of those, I have only now come to the realization that I have hips. When I say realization, I don’t mean I didn’t know that I had them, oh, I knew; I just hadn’t fully embraced and [...]

Review: Large Botkier Trigger

January 30, 2006

Shirt is Splendid, skirt by Ella Moss and shoes at Urban Outfitters As you can tell, I love to wear skirts. In fact, in the summer, they’re all I wear. I don’t ‘do’ shorts or capris, and frankly, I find skirts to be much more comfortable and cool in hot weather. This is the ‘Harmony’ [...]
