In Search Of The Perfect Companion
OK so it’s been a few days since my prematurely exuberant entry about finding a great travel bag, and I’m afraid after a day of testing out the bag, I’m back to square 1. Yes, I love the size/leather/color of the vintage camera bag, but I’m not...
Vintage Caviar
So on my last big trip overseas I tested out the mini flaps. They were great for the hands-free moments, but most of the time I was frustrated that I couldn’t even squeeze an extra pack of Kleenex in there. I know I’m not a tote gal because 90% of the tote...
Couture Counsel: The Challenging Jacket
I didn’t mean to take this long to revive the trophy wife but it’s just been insane here so blogging sort of took a back seat. But anyway, after I posted the S.O.S. on the jacket, I was very inspired (and intimidated) by all of your suggestions. One...
Coco Monkey
My sister introduced me to the website etsy.com and I can’t believe that I didn’t think of creating such an enterprise myself! It is a veritable playground for all artists, closet artists, and artist wannabes (that would be my category) alike. Anyway, last...
Another Afternoon In A Champagne Stupor
Another day, another afternoon in a champagne stupor…oh wait, did I just type that out loud? What I meant to say was that there was a lot of champagne flowing at yet another Chanel 11P trunk show today, but as I was my own designated driver, I had to settle for...
An Inappropriate Valentine
It should be no surprise to any of you by now that I heart Chanel. And I heart it out loud, in full (photographic) overdrive. So while in a daze from my bout with food poisoning from a bad falafel (maybe it was the hummus?) this past weekend, I was thinking why not...
Trophy Shoes
Today’s photos are for an overseas reader who wanted to see how the William Rast for Target jackets fit before she ordered them online. So here some photos of how the XS fits me: I’m more comfortable with it unzipped: And here’s the ruched twill...
Fantasy Overload
You didn’t think I was going to report about the trunk show without a single mention of the clothes, did you? Well, you know all that money I’m going to save by passing on the Spring bags? It’s going straight into the money pit better known as Chanel...
Hello, Leo!
I know it’s still below freezing for some of you, but all the stores are in full Spring mode these days. In fact, I sneaked out for a bit to view the Chanel 2011 Printemps trunk show today and thought I’d blog about it while the images are still fresh in...
Lady Match-A-Lot
Remember the rapper Sir Mix-a-Lot of the “Baby Got Back” fame? Well, if I were his female counterpart in the fashion world, my moniker would be Lady Match-a-Lot. Case in point, the first thing I do upon bringing home a new bag is not immediately wearing it...
