Aspinal of London Vanity Case, Handbag of the Day

Handbags


You’ve got to really love makeup to invest in a vanity case such as the one featured here by Aspinal of London. My makeup consists of eyeliner, mascara and lip gloss so the case feels like overkill to me, but I know many women who swear that they are not completely dressed until their make up (which ends up being more items than I know how to use properly) is completely on. The vanity case is not only beautiful to look at and makes you wish you wore more makeup just to use it, but it is functional. …

Patch NYC Makeup Bag

Handbags

The Patch NYC Makeup Bag will speak to you more, if your makeup consists of fewer than 5 items - where I came up with that magic number is beyond me, but you get my point. I am sure that it can hold more than that, but if you want to maintain it’s sleek look, be sure your makeup is small in size if you need to carry more. The interior is made of vinyl so it won’t seep through the beautiful Batik print. If you are not that into …

Fendi Patent Crossword Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Handbags


In my opinion, logo driven accessories are a bit of a tough sell - with the exception of Louis Vuitton of course, whose classic logo handbags have become the epitome of classic sophistication and luxury. However, I do not care for the multicolored version - bad idea! I just think there are more creative and aesthetically pleasing ways to create a handbag that is gorgeous, that excites you when you see it and above all lasts for years. Why spend hundreds of dollars for something that you won’t …

When I think of patterns that are fashionable and wearable, polka dots doesn’t usually end of up the list. I suppose they can convey a young almost child-like feel but then in that same respect can convey a care free and fun spirit. When I came across these sandals by Fornarina, I could instantly picture an outfit with them, which really surprised me. But, they are fun and could be worn with virtually anything while adding a splash of color. This …

Marc Jacobs Studded Platform Sandals

Shoes

We all knew that platforms would be making its appearance in this cyclical fashion world once again, but I never thought it would actually transcend past the runway shows. Some of the more outrageous looking shoes will hopefully stay on the runways, but it appears that a few will make it’s way into the public sector. I did the whole chunky platform thing before and for the most part they are actually quite comfortable (especially ones that …

Christian Louboutin Suede Peep-Toe Pump

Shoes


A bit on the wild side, these suede peep toe platforms by Christian Louboutin have a mix of sexiness and a care free spirit. I especially love the hint of red that peeks through from these high heel beauties. If you want to be a bit conservative and wear them to the office, just pair with a simple yet classic outfit like a well-fit, button down shirt and wide leg pants and that should do the trick. The shoes become your bold accessory while being toned down by your outfit. But with the weather …
