CC Skye Leight Luxe Fringe Bag


CC Skye has always been on my hot list! This designer is always one step ahead of the latest trends, bringing us fresh new looks season after season. Her handbags are “edgy but elegant”, perfect for anyone looking for an upbeat style to lighten their mood. Not all CC Skye handbags feature fringe, but many have in the past. It has almost become a trademark. Plus I am a bit partial to fringe! So it really is no wonder I was drawn to the CC Skye Leight Luxe Fringe Bag!

Proenza Schouler PS1


I know what you’re thinking. Why would I pick such an “ordinary” handbag as my favorite of 2011? Let’s face it, I absolutely love bright colors and unusual designs when it comes to handbags. Or at the very least, some funky hardware (Hello, Alexander Wang!). I write about them all the time. Sure they are fun, but truly loving a handbag long-term requires a little bit more than just bells and whistles. It has to be timeless and practical enough to wear with just about anything. This is why I chose the Proenza Schouler PS1 Large Satchel as my top pick for 2011!

Favorite Designer Alexander McQueen


On February 11, 2010 tragedy struck the fashion world. Paramedics were rushed to McQueen’s home, where he was pronounced dead at the scene. If you have a true love and passion for fashion chances are you were saddened by the news. I personally do not own anything by Alexander McQueen but I found a shirt with a skull on it in my closet and you better believe I wore it. I was sure to wear the shirt on the day he was pronounced dead and the day of his funeral. Alexander McQueen was and still is one of my all time favorite fashion designers, it was the least I could do.

Bag Color Trend: Mellow Yellow

Winter has just begun, but the fashion world is already thinking about spring. Every year, it seems there is a new IT color. For Spring 2012, I’m going to guess that color is Lemon Yellow! Why? My first clue was the fact that online shops are already littered with this sunny hue. Clothing, shoes, accessories… you name it. I’m not sure if I would be daring enough to wear a dress in this color. However, I do happen to think it looks dashing on a handbag. In fact, I have a Treesje Mini Asher in Lemon and I absolutely adore it. It’s bright, fun, and adds a little pop to those dreary winter months. Plus it looks so cheery with more colorful pieces during the spring and summer! So it looks like I’ll be carrying that bag with pride this year, even though it has already been well loved! But what about this new stuff I mentioned earlier? If you’re wanting to take part in the color trend, you should definitely check it out. Here are a couple of pieces from the current selection!

Alexander McQueen Cathedral Architecture Box Clutch


2011 was a year that I fell in love with clutches. Unfortunately, I only have one but boy did I do a lot of window shopping. The most beautiful clutch I saw in 2011 was the Alexander McQueen “Cathedral” Clutch. As soon as I saw it, I fell in love. It was gorgeous, stunning and classy with a capital C. The McQueen brand always releases beautiful clutches but the brand really out did themselves with the “Cathedral”. The “Skull Box” Clutches are always a favorite of mine but I think this one kills them all. I’ve never seen a clutch quite like this and if I could have I would of bought it in a heart beat.

We LOVE Hautelook


Shopping online is one of my favorite things to do, so my list of online boutiques is pretty vast. However, there is one website that stands out from the rest. At least in my book, anyway! It isn’t an online boutique, but a sample sale website. I’m talking about Hautelook, of course!

Nicole Richie and her House of Harlow 1960 Riley Oversized Clutch

Clutches are amazing especially oversized ones. When you’re as unorganized and messy as me a clutch is perfect. You can only fit so much in a small pouch and it keeps you organized. Probably not a good thing to admit I’m messy but I am. I’m so unorganized it’s pitiful but at least I an promise that my hygiene is amazing. I just have a struggle with keeping things neat and together but after a while I do get the urge to clean it.

Diane von Furstenberg Coryn Clutch


One of my favorite accessories is a clutch, which is odd considering when I carry a satchel I load it up with practically my whole entire top of my dresser. To me, clutches are simple. You can’t carry much in them and they keep you incredibly organized.

Tods D-Bauletto Media


It’s no secret I have a special affinity for Tod’s Bags. My first high-end designer bag was Tod’s and I still have it! It’s quite worn though and I’ve been looking for a replacement. 2012 will be the year I do just that.
