Net-A-Porter is having a sale, and look what I found while I was scooping up bargains!
Smart shoes by Marc Jacobs, – 
Combining the sweetness of a peep-toe, the sophisticated styling of a slingback, and the slickness of patent leather.
All wrapped up in a beautiful nude hue that wears wonderful and stuck on a 4-inch heel, I […]

Loooooooooove!
These Burberry strappy gladiator sandals are absolutely luxurious.
Stacked 5 inches tall on a wooden heel, these platform sandals are slick, strappy, –
Precisely what I need. The curvature of these Burberry shoes is incredibly appealing, and paired with lizard-embossed leather, I’ve a feeling these sandals would make great companions for my feet this summer.
And just when […]

The great thing about a woven tote is that whether made from plastic or the softest nappa leather, it looks classy. I’m loving both of these over-sized totes by Bottega Veneta and Banana Republic — from rich brown colouring to spacious interiors, either tote is worthy to be carried.
Bottega Veneta – a design house famous for styling […]

Carrying a heavy tote in summer is hot.
And by hot I mean sweaty, uncomfortable, and not desirable.
I’d much more handle a small clutch that can carry my essentials. That’s why this Cole Haan croc-print wallet is so appealing.
Available in cherry or chocolate, this genuine croc-embossed leather wallet features gold-tone hardware, canvas lining, and tonal topstitching.
Cole […]

Unlike Lauren Conrad’s over-priced clothing line, Gabriella Cortese’s designs for Antik Batik — specifically these fringed suede boots — are a worthy buy. All quality, inspired by global style and free-spiritedness, these Antik Batik fringed suede boots are nothing if not a great alternative to Uggs.
While I certainly wouldn’t wear them everyday, I’ve a feeling these booties would make a […]

In a gorgeous black matte finish, I couldn’t help but love this chic caiman fuscus crocodile clutch. More deep grey than black, the texture of this bag is unbelievable. Crocodile skin is known for being smooth, and the caiman fuscus variety is no exception.
This Carlos Falchi clutch features a detachable shoulder strap (not shown), suede lining, […]

The product description says this pair of Bruno Frisoni sandals will swathe your feet.
I couldn’t agree more.
And I can’t imagine anything more appropriate than nude colouring and streamlined straps with an open toe to prep me for summer’s heat.
Bruno Frisoni sandals are sweet accessories for your feet, and this pair is no exception.
Bruno Frisoni patent […]

Metallics have never appealed to me –
Until now.
Love, love, LOVE! this Anya Hindmarch crackled mirror satchel.
The double front pockets make a modern, structured style statement, as do the sleek silver closures and crackled leather.
While I wouldn’t shoulder it as an everyday tote, I’d certainly wear it to add some sparkle to my summer wardrobe.
What about […]

Who doesn’t love a bargain?
Check out these gorgeous leather and croc-embossed pumps by MICHAEL Michael Kors.
Marked down for less than half the price, these MICHAEL Michael Kors pumps are coloured a shade of olive so deep that at first glance they look black or brown.
Besides the classic rounded toe and the perfectly proportioned heel, I love the […]

Hope,
What are the latest trends in leather jackets?
Always a classic, the leather jacket has made quite a comeback this season. Worn with everything from skinny jeans to floral dresses, the leather jacket is an essential item for every woman’s wardrobe.
I’m not all about trendy ruching and ruffles; if you purchase a clean-cut leather coat, I […]

It’s taken almost 14 years, but me thinks Consuelo Castiglioni — the designer behind Marni — has perfected her craft.
Check the evidence.
Marni’s patent shoulder bag, a vivid, vibrant green, is the epitome of artistic accoutrements. Does this not look like something you’d find at a modern art gallery? Pure patent leather has never looked so structured. […]

It’s April Fools Day, darlings, but there’s no fooling around here: Cut-out spectator pumps are spot-on style for this spring and summer.
We’ve seen the spectator evolve from closed to peep-toe, from soft-grained leather to shiny patent, –
And cut-outs are the latest twist.
I’m loving several styles by Linea Paolo, available in fresh colours like lilac and […]

No wonder Anya Hindmarch has been honoured for the past two years as Accessory Designer of the Year at the Glamour Awards: She’s got such a unique design sense! I’ve yet to meet someone who wouldn’t carry her namesake designs.
I’m loving her series of mirrored shoulderbags for this season, especially this smooth calf leather boho-esque […]
