Stay Chic!

Oh, Coach...

Hi, readers...If you're still out there!  Ha!  It's been a minute, but hey, what a nice surprise, right?   So, I got this email from Barneys NY about "Vintage Coach"  and I'm really not a Coach fan.  A bit too conservative for me, but sometimes you need simple and conservative. Well, I have since taken that back after seeing their new collection...Coach classic styles with spice!  I use to rock Coach back in college. Yep, I had the Bucket Bag in dark brown.  I still have the bag and it's still in great condition. Fast-forward to today, I would love to add one of these lovely new Coach bags with Fringe!  Yes, fringe! Next to fur and sequin, I love fringe!  A bit too pricey for me at the moment, but a girl can dream.  Another one added to my wish list!

Here are a few more I'm loving...

Gucci inspired!!!

Happy Tuesday!!!

The Everyday Bag...

What do you carry everyday?  I carry this or this simple leather tote almost everyday unless I'm going out on the town, then I  pull out a simple clutch.  Totes are so easy to throw it all in and go.  Simple silhouettes in soft leathers and in a rainbow of colors makes them irresistible.  Soo....if you don't have one you gotta get one.   I've got my eye on that R.B.of McD navy tote!  Great as a transition bag into Fall.  

Here are some of my favorites...

Love it or Leave it: Perforated Footwear

Ohne Titel Fashion Week Spring 2013

I've been a little obsessed with all things perforated, especially shoes!  It's not really a new trend, but I've noticed a lot more stuff with holes in them lately.  They're great for Spring, because maybe your feet are not quite ready to fully make their debut but want the air and sun to hit them a bit.  Ha!  Sounds good to me!  I'm surely going add a pair to my shoe closet really soon.  

You want holes in your shoes?  I've got you covered...
