Last night’s episode of Real Housewives of Orange County was a bit of a snooze, but the pre-trip episodes almost always are. Letting out any of the really good drama before everyone decamps to a second location would lessen the impact of the fancy vacations episodes, and I’d imagine that if Bravo deigns to foot the bill for something like a trip to Costa Rica, they intend to milk it for every last drop of drama it’s worth.
One of the sites I check every single day is Refinery 29 and when they asked if I wanted to be featured in their Blogger High 5 category there was no other answer than an excited and immediate yes. Refinery 29 asked me about five things I am currently coveting, and I share the details with them, from the dessert I can’t stop eating to the place I want to go to for vacation to the bag I want to add to my collection right now. A special thanks to my friends at Refinery for including me on their website and in this fun feature! Check out my feature on Refinery 29!
I have no complaints about Tod’s , it’s just that I am never really into their bags. Tod’s is known for their clean lines and quality materials, but their designs are so subdued that I often find them a bit forgettable
With so much flash in the luxury accessories industry, it’s nice to come across a brand that goes in entirely the opposite direction.
Ice cream cones, the ocean breeze, sun-kissed skin, fireflies, vacations, 4th of July, fireworks, BBQs, bikinis, maxi dresses, and non-stop fun all come to mind when I think of summer. Memorial Day is this weekend, and for many folks, this holiday means the official start of summer. Vlad and I are kicking off the season by heading out to the Hamptons before the weekend madness begins for some much-needed rest and relaxation
The Kardashians are BACK! Are you amped?! Were you even aware? Well you should be, because the “This season on ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’…” teaser promises Kanye West-canoodling, Kim wearing crazy wigs, tropical vacays, Botox injections gone bad, flour bomb family drama, and a possible Kris Jenner affair! Maybe you have a slightly pervy interest in one of those things; I’m mostly in it for the wigs
LVMH’s keen interest in Hermes has been clear for quite some time now, and it looks as though when Louis Vuitton’s parents company isn’t busy buying up shares of the historical French leather goods house, its trying to remake parts of its own premier brand to more resemble the object of its affections. Thus LV has introduced Louis Vuitton Haute Maroquinerie , which literally translates to “high leather goods,” which offers the brand’s most exclusive customers the opportunity to design their very own bag from a set of pre-selected shapes, colors and leathers. Join us after the jump for a video of the manufacturing process, plus more photos and details about the bags.
Despite Reed Krakoff ‘s long tenure in the accessories industry, his eponymous brand is still a relative newcomer to the handbag game. The Coach president knows exactly what he’s doing, though; it took no time at all for Krakoff’s bags, which are mostly priced very well, to find their way onto the arms of high-ranking fashion folks and celebrities alike
By the end of last night’s episode of Mad Men , I felt positively exhilarated. After last week’s stumbling block, I predicted (read: hoped) that it would be smooth sailing until the season finale, and last night did nothing to assuage that belief
It was one of those weekends where Mother Nature dished out absolutely gorgeous weather and I stayed inside mostly in bed feeling under the weather.
