This year I have two extra events to attend than I normally do so I’ve been trying to plan ahead in terms of outfits I’d like to wear. Two family Christmas parties, a brunch meetup, and a business dinner. Another issue is that New York is awfully cold this time of year. My inspiration began …
Cleobella’s Mexicana
For any of you who own anything from Cleobella’s famous Mexicana collection, I’d love to hear from you… It looks like a lovely product to own and I can imagine a hardworking artisan lovingly pouring hours into its creation… Please let me know your thoughts below. XOXO *Photocredit: Cleobella
The Midori Traveler
Being that I’ve been a very big fan of paper-based planners, it is no surprise that I became enticed by the Midori Traveler. I found out about it through one of Tracy Reinhardt’s a.k.a. Crazy Suburban Mom’s earlier You Tube posts. While I don’t use this wonderful cowhide leather buildable notebook as a traditional organizer, …
The Success Choice Planner
I’m a fan of Tracy Reinhardt on You Tube a.k.a. Crazy Suburban Mom. She introduced me and many others to the praiseworthiness of The Success Choice planner (which I love!) It keeps me in check and reminds me to take better care of myself and others, so what’s not to love about that? The covers …
Salpy, Pretty! Pretty!
Salpy brand makes the prettiest shoes; however, it’s VERY expensive at regular price. I waited too long and missed the Salpy sale at Simply Soles =(. The Larita style reminds me of higher fashion clogs and mules, but are described as slides or slip-on heels. At one point Simply Soles stocked, navy, black, and pewter …
Leather Backpacks
Many years ago when I first began my graduate program, I carried a very handsome and dependable Perlina black leather backpack. I remembered one snowy night, quite like today, I decided to walk home rather than to wait for the bus (which was uncharacteristically delayed). The backpack had survived my walk through the harsh weather …
Handbag Phenom: Onna Ehrlich
I’m lusting over Onna Ehrlich’s Francoise Croco Bowler and Dawn Croco handbags! They are so gorgeous, roomy, and look well-made! Simple design- I love that because some handbags are wayyy overly designed… ugh… I’ve only seen these two particular bag styles offered no more than once or twice in sample sales. Both times I missed …
I Dream of Mulberry
I’ve been obsessing over this brand recently- thoughts spurred on by the launch of Mulberry for Target (the large black patent Bayswater remains elusive). The Alexa style is a chic messenger bag with a school gal sweetness. I wish I owned this bag too! My all-time favorite is the Bayswater in blue calf-hair. Gorgeous! Gorgeous! …
Coach Poppy Embossed Exotic XL Spotlight Tote
My first Coach love was a brown and tan woven wool signature logo mini tote (shown in an advertisement with the matching kitty heels). Unforgettable in my mind… I never found the kitty heels but I was fortunate enough to find the mini tote. I guess from 2001 to 2006, I was pretty much obsessed …
Louis Vuitton’s Monogram Shoulderbag Tivoli GM
I’m in love =)… If you dislike the lack of structure of an LV Speedy (as I do, with the exception of the smaller models since that’s less of an annoyance), than this may be the bag for you! Classic style and generous space for all your stuff. If I could only choose one LV …
