The Lotus Arts de Vivre Palm Stick Bag is an unexpected delight from the amazing collection at CoutureLab.com.
Where to begin? It’s a bunch of sticks! Sort of. It’s a handmade bag, lovingly constructed with real palm sticks, silk, diamonds, and gold. The palm sticks are harvested from bunches of coconuts, then cut […]


No Calorie Thanksgiving Picks…

Happy Turkey Day! I hope all of you are spending some time with people you love. While the best part of this holiday is the time together with my family the prospect of cooking and eating the big bird for weeks and weeks is definitely lower on my favorites list. In my […]

Prada Saffiano Fori Boston Bag

Feeling hot, hot, hot? So is this Prada Saffiano Fori Boston Bag. The purse’s quirky yet cheerful orange and pink color-blocking and brown trim is an exuberant splash of Miami attitude. The key, however, is not to let this purse fall into the tacky zone. Play it safe with a white blouse and jeans or […]


Gucci Jungle Large Tote

 
Welcome to the jungle, baby. Despite its name, this Gucci Jungle Large Tote doesn’t delve into wild animal prints. In fact, it’s rather tame. It does, however, feature glossy black leather and bamboo and metal beads that are less jungle, and more Jamaica. (Anyone else having a Bo Derek flashback?) The detachable metal chain strap […]

Burberry Painted Hearts Check Print Tote

It’s no secret that I think Burberry is fabulous in just about every way. The way the storied label reinvents itself time and time again is pretty impressive. For the average person - and maybe even the average label - making a classic check print look new every time would be a challenge. Burberry shows […]

A mix of worn-out looking and brand new, this Gancio Esotico Shoulder Bag by Salvatore Ferragamo functions as both a unique eye-catching accessory and a fairly timeless staple.
