Fall in love with Fringe, Feathers, and Fur


  While it’s hard think about the fall during the dog days of summer, this fall season’s fashions are quickly making their first appearance to the retail fashion market.  Day dreaming about the next season can seem a little overwhelming in the middle of July, so I decided to bring you a sneak peek of the current fall trends for handbags.  High-end retailers like Neiman Marcus and established stores like Nine West, feature a unique selection of exotic handbags with three major trends emerging from their inventory.

I love the animal print trend, especially leopard print, and I want to incorporate it in my wardrobe for fall. Are there any great animal print handbags you would recommend?


The claws have come out for 2010 and animal prints are a HUGE trend for the Fall season.  From zebra to leopard, it's totally in fashion to wear your animal instincts on your sleeve (literally!)  The print that has recently enjoyed the limelight focus for Fall has been leopard.  Designers have incorporated this print into their clothing lines and handbag collections and created some amazing renditions of this growing trend.

Fashion Don'ts for Handbags


The handbag is unfairly deemed as the after thought to any outfit, but in most cases it’s exactly the opposite.   As an avid fashion street style people watcher, I believe the handbag says a lot about your personality and character.  For example, people who carry high-end designer bags with obvious designer monograms (i.e. LV or Gucci GGs) want to establish their social status and demand attention.  While people who carry uniquely designed bags want to showcase their ability to be fashionably avant-garde.

Handbag Review: Linea Pelle Dylan Cross Body Takes on E3 (a.k.a. Electronic Entertainment Expo)


 The cross body bag has become the essential MUST HAVE for all fashionistas this year.  They are a fashion-forward statement that exudes confidence allowing you to wear your purse and not have your purse wear you. Cross bodies are not only fashionable, but also functional and cross over easily from day to night (no pun intended :-)) especially the Dylan Cross Body Clutch by Linea Pelle.

How do I incorporate summer fun into my professional work wardrobe?


SCHOOOOOL’S OUT FOR SUMMER!! (*IMAGINE Alice Cooper classic tune blaring on the radio in the background)  For most of our lives summer is synonymous for no school, vacation, and good ‘ol slip and slide, snow cone fun in the sun.  These simple pleasures and memories from our adolescence are something we continue to strive for as adults sans the three-month vacation.

How do I dress for the pool party club scene??


School is out, summer is here, and the heat is on the rise!!  Pool parties are back in season and the clubbing world has adopted the pool as the HIP place to be for summer.  Forget the conventional nightclub with pulsating lights, smoke haze, standing room only crowds, and cranberry vodka drinks that are 90% Smirnoff and a splash of Ocean Spray.   That scene is SO 2008!  AND I'M PERSONALLY OVER IT!!  Instead opt for fresh fruit cocktails, savory poolside eats, comfy lounge chairs, cabanas, and amazing people watching.

Sex and the City 2: Miranda Hobbes Look for Less


ONE MORE DAY!!  Well the SATC 2 countdown is withering down to the hours.  Just hours until mini dresses, high heels, the hair did, pedicure on the toes, champagne popping and martini glasses filled.  I can't begin to express the amount of excitement!!!   BUT before we can begin to celebrate, I need to reveal my Look for Less inspired by Miranda Hobbes.
