Do you remember the Kate Spade Sam? The “it” bag of 2000? It was a classic minimalistic (I mean this in a good way) handbag which was quite cute. I bought it in black and a deep silvery-grey (eventually we parted ways via eBay). My qualm about the Sam was that it was too bulky …
B. Makowsky’s Ollie Satchel
Another beautiful, well-made (leather), reasonably priced satchel for its quality, and highly functional design by B. Makowsky! Gee, I haven’t gotten over my honeymoon state-of-mind yet with the Melbourne Shopper and here we go again! I think he’s a bag genius!!! The Ollie comes in two sizes, the 12″ and 14.” For me it’s a …

As an aside, I prefer rose gold to yellow or white gold and love that it …

Prana Accessories
I admit that I don’t do yoga or pilates but I love the clothing and accessories associated with them. Yoga clothing is really comfortable so now I make it a point to wear it during my travels abroad (especially for long car or plane rides). I love Beyond Yoga and Prana. I also love Title …
