The Shops at The Plaza
Filed under: Apparel, Handbags, Jewelry, Services, Spas, Cosmetics and Fragrance, Men’s Style, Wealth
Like my colleagues Annie and Alison, I braved Fashion Week, in particular, Fashion’s Night Out on September 10. But I was fortunate to be in one serene place, The Shops at The Plaza. Entering at One East 58th Street, right near Central Park, […]
Burberry Check Hobo, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Perhaps it is because I’m often drawn to classic styles, simple colors and subtle sophistication, or maybe it is because Burberry has a propensity for making fantastic handbags, but this Check Hobo is fabulous. With tiny pleats and patent leather trim the black and white nylon check pattern is encircled in high-society style. […]
Helena de Natalio Carrie Leather Hobo, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
This is my first introduction to Helena de Natalio and I have to say I like what I see! The circular hobo shape makes it easy to wear for the woman on-the-go and the luscious electric blue color is divine (although it is also available in classic black). Not constrained by season in […]
Carlos Falchi Python Satchel, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Although not a new concept, a rich-toned python satchel is still lovely. Carlos Falchi adds a bit of his own flair cinching in a little on each side and placing the python pattern in a way that mirrors an ombre style. It is accented by goldtone hardware, double handles with a five-inch drop, […]
Burberry Prorsum Avelene Small Leather Clutch
Burberry has come a long way from its classic check print, baby. Just check out this Avelene Small Leather Clutch, a smart and sophisticated dark brown leather purse that would work for day or night. The clutch feels modern, but nods to its pedigree via an embossed detail and a frayed tassel detail made from […]
Nancy Gonzalez Python/Crocodile Tote, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
The Nancy Gonzalez Python/Crocodile Tote is a sleek and interesting bag in a shade that most of us are missing in our handbag collection: grey.
This blue-grey color is going to be around awhile; not only did we see it last year and this year in clothing, it’s been all over the runways for […]
Judith Leiber Versailles Box Clutch, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
The Judith Leiber Versailles Box Clutch is a simple minaudiere with an elegant patten which complements almost any accoutrement.
At just 3 3/4″H x 5 1/2″W x 2″D, this isn’t exactly the bag for your day job, but it will look lavish and ritzy with any cocktail dress or ball gown for your evening […]
Nancy Gonzalez Soft Croc Quilted Satchel, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Nancy Gonzalez knows croc, and the Soft Croc Quilted Satchel is another shining example of her mastery.
This perfect bag alternates croc patterns on five evenly, artfully pleated panels across the front and back. The sides have just the right amount of give to lend the bag this highly aesthetically pleasing shape. Frames are […]
Burberry Nova Check Satchel, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
The Burberry Nova Check Satchel is a complex and beautiful bag.
The rich, dark nickel encases a layer of PVC in a pattern you might recognize — the cutouts can be misleading but look closely: It’s the classic Burberry check pattern. This bag interprets the iconic print in a totally new (or shall we […]
Penelope Cruz Signs Off on a Prada Purse
Proving that she’s not too busy for her fans, Penelope Cruz stopped to sign autographs at the Toronto airport. And what’s that hanging from her arm? Yep, looks like a deep red Prada handbag to me. It’s hard to see much of the purse with that leather jacket draped over it, but I do dig […]
