Obsessed: Jason Wu Daphne Clutch
The ‘Daphne’ (named after model Daphne Groeneveld) was created inspired by China’s Qing Dynasty. This solid box clutch is dressed in a rich red satin, decorated with a blue and gold embroidery, and accessorized with an oversized black tassel.
Pair it with the Jason Wu embellished lace-overlay Dress and the Marlene studded leather sandals.
Obsessed: Juicy Couture Trinity Backpack
I’m a few years past my college backpack toting days, but if this was available when I was in school, then you could bet this would be on my “back to school list”.
Rugged chic has never looked so good. The bag is dressed in a forest army green canvas with chocolate leather trim. Features include a magnetic snap secure flap (perfect for those rainy days!), while leather tassels accent the drawstring closure. Lots of pocket space too, which is huge plus – 3 on the exterior and 3 on the inside.
Pair it with the Current/Elliott The Boyfriend Jeans and Joie Day Dreaming Smoking Flats
As I’ve stated over and over again, I’m obsessed with crystals! They make accessories more stylish looking without looking gaudy. Obviously, I would never use anything that adorned in crystals during the day but it makes any evening getup more fabulous. I currently have one Swarovski crystal evening bag, the “Kiosque”, but I wouldn’t mind adding more glamorous bags to my collection. The Serpui Marie “The Girl’s Best Friend” Minaudiere is absolutely stunning and I wish I owned one!
Obsessed: Anya Hindmarch Marano Music Box Clutch
The clutch that plays music ~ Suuriously you guys! When I first came across this clutch and saw the name “Marano Music Box” first thought was, oh cute, a little holiday box clutch with a retro inspired windup detail.. no wow factor for me. But no, this novelty clutch actually plays music, a festive ‘Deck the Halls’ tune. Pretty cool huh?
The Anya Hindmarch Marano Music Box is from the designer’s ‘All I’ve Ever Wanted’ Fall / Winter ’12 Holiday Collection.
Pair it with the Lela Rose Embellished silk-organza Dress and Jimmy Choo Loila Metallic Sandals.
The holidays are creeping up upon us, so we are going to be seeing a lot of festive fashion shortly. Designers always tend to come out with new, eye catching and gorgeous pieces around the holidays in hopes that they will be purchased as gifts. When I saw the Anya Hindmarch “Candy Coin” Purse I couldn’t help but say “Awe”, it’s seriously adorable and looks like something that just came out of Santa’s workshop!
For the past two years I bought, carried and wore only black and white. They were like my two main colors. I never walked out of the house in color. My Louis Vuitton “Multicolor” Speedy didn’t even get used during that whole entire persion because I just wasn’t into color. I think as fashion lovers we go through different phases and for some odd reason I chose my phase to be only black and white for quite some time. Thankfully, as of 2012 I’m over that phase and now into bright colors. Now I’ve been using a piece of my Louis Vuitton “Multicolor” collection almost everyday!
The stud trend doesn’t seem to be going anywhere just yet! It seems like every season, more and more designers are getting in on the endless stud trend. I’m not one for trends but I do love studs! Studs add some pizazz to a handbag and not to mention make it a little more edgier looking. I’m such a girly girl that I’ve always been into the edgy look. It’s kind of like I get to play dress up on that particular day because that’s not normally my style.
Obsessed: Coach Legacy Duffle
It’s all about simplicity! The Legacy Duffle is a classic, reintroduced to the house some time ago but with a modern and tassel-adorned update. What I love most about this bag is the true form-fitting hobo style and that it can be worn as a shoulder bag or crossbody by simply adjusting the shoulder strap. That’s not even the best of it (get this) this bag is available in 16 colors! How is one to choose?
Pair it with the Rachel Zoe Hutton Velvet Tux Jacket and J Brand Vera Mid Rise Skinny Jeans
Obsessed: Lanvin Sea Breeze Clutch
An evening gem inspired by the 20′s era. Beautiful Art deco waves of tangerine orange beadwork decorate this champagne rose satin clutch.
For the cocktail hour look, pair it with the Lanvin ruffle Taffeta Dress and Jimmy Choo Loila Sandals.
