I’ve always been a huge fan of Chloe, especially the See by Chloe line. Mostly because Chloe has always been on the pricey side and the See by Chloe line is a tad bit more affordable. OK, it’s a lot more affordable. I’ve also always been a fan of Hello Kitty. Not an overzealous fan that buys tons of Hello Kitty merchandise but I’ve always thought she was cute. It’s fun to go to the Flag Ship store in New York, to see the higher end Hello Kitty goodies.

I bring this all up because when I saw the See by Chloe “Rodas” Sequin Party Bag I couldn’t help but think of Hello Kitty. It literally looks like something the kitty designed or would use as a handbag. The big bow, screams Hello Kitty!

Every time I go to New York I’m in awe with the way the women and men dress. I always look outside my hotel room every morning to see people scurrying to get to work in their business attire. I absolutely love when I see a woman in a pencil skirt and carrying a briefcase. I don’t know what it is about it, but I love that look. It’s classy and somewhat sexy I suppose.

When I saw the Madewell “Lil Briefcase” Bag, I was instantly in love! What I liked the most about it, is that it kind of has a vintage look to it! Always exciting when you find a brand new piece that emulates a vintage look.

I’m not too fond of shoulder bags, but when I see a color combination that is irresistible I can’t help but want the bag. I always love a gorgeous rich color leather and gold hardware. As we know, I always go for black leather handbags but I also like colors they just have to be dark. The Rebecca Minkoff “Swing” Bag, is a perfect example of a stunning handbag in a color I actually like with gold hardware. Perfect!

When I was a kid, I remember my best friend and I would always go to Claire’s and buy all these best friend accessories. You know, the ones that came in pairs. They had key chains, necklaces, bracelets just about everything in that store was available in a best friend package. The point of buying them was that you got to keep one and your best friend got to sport around the other piece so everyone would know you’re, “best friends.” Sounds cheesy, but back then we thought it was the coolest thing ever.

I’ve always have had an obsession with Audrey Hepburn. Being an aspiring actress, she is one of my idols. She is probably one of the best example of a true classic, talented beauty that also has a heart of gold. You don’t find that often in the entertainment industry, I can promise you that. She will always hold a special place in my heart and everyday I strive to be more and more like her.

Anything that features Audrey Hepburn or looks remotely close to her, I instantly love it. I can’t help but think Kate Spade’s inspiration for the “Daycation Bejeweled” Coated Canvas Shopper was Audrey Hepburn. It may not look exactly like Ms. Hepburn on the bag, but boy does it sure resemble her!

This season, designers have delivered some of the brightest and trendiest pieces in a while. We’ve seen a mass array of color blocking, heavy set satchels, chunky hardware and attractive animal prints. I’m always in appreciation for something new, but it’s the classic bits that you simply can’t resist. I have yet to obtain a simple black handbag with gold-toned hardware. I lack one in my collection and every time I wish I had one, I wonder why I haven’t obtained such a universal must-have.
