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...

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...
