  1. What’s a Minaudiere?

    What’s a Minaudiere?
    I was at Nordstrom’s the other day shopping at their anniversary sale and noticed they had a couple of the crystals clutches on sale. I couldn’t help but pick one up to look at. I’ve always known that they existed, but actually seeing them in person intrigued me. Just looking at it reminds me of a Sex in the City...
  2. Styling Dior

    Styling Dior
    When I first saw this clutch I absolutely fell in love with it. I was surprised because I’m usually not the Channel or Dior fan with their quilted look, but this has such an elegant touch to it that I couldn’t resist it. It’s something that I can definitely see myself using in the daytime, but also during a night...
  3. Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

    Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
    Woo hoo! Nordstrom has an anniversary sale quickly following their half-yearly sale. Can it get any better? The sale starts day- July 17, 2009-August 3, 2009! They have special store hours for the dates of July 17, 18, and 19. There should be some great finds! Visit their website for more info on their store hours. The best thing about...
  4. My First Miu Miu Love

    My First Miu Miu Love
    I was always been curious about Miu Miu and searching for one of their bags. I think I have found my first Miu Miu Love. This bag caught me by surprise. The color is not usually my style, but it’s definitely bold and doable. I especially loved the texture of the bag. It’s a gathered all nappa leather with braided...
  5. Hermes Croc Farm

    Hermes Croc Farm
    Everyone seems to be swooning over Hermes Crocodile bags so much so, that they’ve started breeding their own crocodiles on their own farm in Australia. This move will make much more sense once you hear their stats. Hermes on average makes around 3,000 crocodile bags every year and the demands seem to continue to grow. It takes three to four...
  6. Louboutin VS. Valentino

    Louboutin VS. Valentino
    VS Who would you choose? When looking at both clutches, they seem quite similar. Christian Louboutin’s clutch (top) is slightly smaller and measures about 9L x 4W x 2H”. It’s made of a shiny lurex exterior with a magnetic flap opening. It retails for about $725. Valentino’s clutch (bottom) seems to be a bit roomier than Louboutin’s. It measures about...
  7. Padlock Your Bag Lately?

    Padlock Your Bag Lately?
    So I’ve seen bags were there are mini padlocks on them for style…but this is definitely a first that I’ve seen a full sized padlock, meant to lock up your stuff. One of the better known ones is Chloe’s Padlock Bag, which retails for $1,875 at Nordstrom’s (see above). Yikes!! I’ve read some reviews on this bag and apparently, you...
  8. Who is Harajuku Lovers?

    Who is Harajuku Lovers?
    I’ve seen this brand around in department stores and online, but never really took too much notice because it wasn’t really my style. As I was shopping around at Bloomingdales, this bag came up —“Harajuku Lovers Women’s Flower Girl’s Honey Tote” (yes, it’s a very long name). I was thinking wow, this is really cute. So I started to look...
  9. Gucci New Fall Arrivals

    Gucci New Fall Arrivals
    If you heart Gucci like I do, you’re probably too busy at the moment shopping their twice a year sale and waiting at the door for the UPS truck, but don’t forget they do have their new fall line out already for preorder. Most of them can be ordered now, but they are not expected to ship out until June...
  10. Tory Burch — Yay or Nay?

    Tory Burch — Yay or Nay?
    So, I’ve been shopping around lately at all the sales going on at Nordstorms, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales and other places and Tory Burch seems to always pop up. I’ve noticed this designer before, but it doesn’t seem to strike an interest in my, so I thought I would look it up to see what she’s about. Tory Burch officially launched...
