HOLIDAY GIFTS/What's new

 New! Leather cell phone pouches. Well its more than a cell pouch. Use it for anything that's small when you wanna like not carry a handbag. We have them in some yummy colors like Seawater, Bubblegum Pink and the classic Bone and Black is well. I love that they're on a gold chain so you can either wear it out when you're going somewhere fancy or chilling in jeans- you know dress it up, dress it down. Plus, given the color choices, they would make a great gift for either your teenage niece or your very grown sister -in-law. Get them in our Etsy shop here.

GIVEAWAY!!

So I  was watching Ellen the other day and she had a segment were little kids came on the show in their Halloween costume to "trick or treat" on the show. The kids were soooo cute and they had the coolest costumes.


One set of kids came as the couple- Kate and William of the "Royal" fame, and the little boy creatively had a plush whale sort of thing around his waist to symbolize the Prince of Wales.. It was so cool and I wanted to see more... I felt like a little kid myself- all of the kids looked so happy. I wanted to be a kid all over again.


So that gave me our next giveaway idea....

Beginning tomorrow thru Nov. 3rd, show us your Halloween costume photos and the coolest/most creative look wins a $50 gift card! Post your photos on our Facebook page. Of course this is mostly an adult themed contest for the kid at heart!

Two winners will be chosen and announced on our Facebook page on Nov.4th. Share with your friends!

I recently discovered...

I was just minding my business this afternoon, browing  the Etsy.com site and look what I came across:
 Ella Lai. Amazing pieces that I'm loving!! Just my style... They have gotten the tailored, yet feminine chic look just right.

This jacket caught my eye. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. It doesnt stop there, I'm loving just about everything in their shop, but I cant show you all of my faves... Ill keep it a secret and report back what I copped and show it off in my "what I wore" segment coming up in future posts...


                                                                And oh....

                  I can just picture rocking this with the new NKHenry tweed Kaya satchel- a match made in heaven!

Vs.

While perusing the Net a Porter site to check out the lastest fall boots, I came across this leopard print tote...
And I'm thinking to myself hummmm, our version, The Kimmy bag, is way prettier and more stylish. Well that sounds a little competitive,  but hey for the asking price of Maje's tote- a mere $860, I thought I could be a little opinionated.

Granted our version has the animal print made of a cotton blend and the Maje tote animal print is actually calfskin. But...

Kimmy is our latest style and she is a roaring in this season's hottest trend:animal print. I just adore this bag and my son even compliments me on it, so I must have done something right.

Kimmy is trimmed in a lovely Italian leather with gold stud detail.

Oh Yeah, Fall has started nicely...

I attended a few events related to the various fashion week goings on back in September. This year was the first time I went to Philly Fashion week. I landed at the Cocktail chic event to check out the runway presentations of Strangefruit, Melody Thomas (of Project Runway) and a special menswear presentation by Banana Republic, styled by Kevin Parker, Founder of Philly fashion week.

The Strangefruit and Melody Thomas presentations left me totally flat. I didn't really have any expectations as I wasnt familiar with either line- I was simply an eager spectator and well the previous sentence sums it up.

Banana Republic was well Banana Republic and Kevin did a nice job of putting the looks together, see below, and the model selection was nice too.

I met with Kevin and at only 26, he has been producing the fashion week for the past 5 years, which is truly impressive. He and co-founder Kerry Scott have truly put together a beautiful production of shows and events.

Next year I will be looking forward to checking out the couture presentations. Kudos to Philly!
