Eye Candy

I just couldn't resist sharing another sweet treat today. But this one is to whet your fashion cravings rather than your foodie ones. They make my mouth water just as much though!

 

I am positively salivating over these Alexander McQueen and Bottega Veneta clutches. They've got the perfect amount of bite to suit my taste and would be the perfect cherry on top of any look.

Soooo tempting, if I win the lottery!

Monday Workwear {Accessory Edition}

Couldn't resist sharing my latest obsession with all the bag-lovers out there! I bring you the luscious top-handled day bag.

Totally versatile - you can tuck it under your arm, throw over your shoulder or grab and go. Big enough to carry almost anything, but not too big you can't take it into a crowded space. And endlessly classic. No bells and whistles necessary.

Just like we want our looks and our life to be, right? Can a bag really provide all that? Well, a girl can give it a try!

Back to School

Classes may almost be out for summer, but I find myself addicted to the schoolyard-chic of the satchel bag. It's utilitarian, functional, with the prefect combination of preppy with a side of attitude. 

I officially want.

And the trend means there are lots of lovely options available, in various colors, textures and labels, some more economical than others of course. I think I'd look smart with any of these options though!

A Night On the Town

In prepping for a near and dear's birthday celebration tomorrow evening, I'm working on the answer to every girl's favorite eternal question. What do I wear?

In recessionary times, it often makes the most economic sense to take some basics out of your closet and reinvent them with an accessory or two.

For example, take staples like a simple tank, slacks, blazer and booties, all in a neutral shade...

And add some dazzle with a brilliantly jeweled cuff and feathered bag. Suddenly, you're the belle of the ball. 

I'm sure the birthday girl won't mind.
