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 […]
Keep ReadingReview: Odette NY Jewelry
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 […]

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 […]
Keep ReadingReview: Anna Corinna Lotus Tote
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 […]
Keep ReadingReview: Begeren Moorea Tote
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 […]
Keep ReadingReview: James Perse Tube Dress + Begeren Hobo
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 […]
Keep ReadingHow to Shop Online
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 […]

Keep ReadingThe Coolest Designers you may not know yet (May 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.
Keep ReadingReview: Marc Jacobs Ursula Bag
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 […]
