My love for horses and horseback riding has led me to three websites of interest I’d love to share. Silver Pony Designs (jewelry), The Equestrian Corner (gear), Back in the Saddle (gear), and HorseLoverz (gear). I received two lovely pairs of silver earrings and a gorgeous silver necklace by Silver Pony Designs from my mother-in-law …
Rebecca Minkoff’s & Lanvin’s Cute Crossbodys
I’ve been loving crossbody bags recently for the obvious reasons (hands-free option and when a big heavy bag isn’t preferable). They are great for date nights (especially theater nights) and when you need to carry only necessities for classes or on errands. Here are two favorites of mine: Rebecca Minkoff Classics MAC Crossbody Clutch: “Oversized …
Hair Barettes & Clips Addicted, I’m Afraid ;)
I usually wear my hair long (keeps my neck warmer during the wintry months) although I’ve been known to get the occasional pixy cut for summer. For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a fascination with hair barrettes and clips; always on a hunt for the pretty but sturdy few. Claire’s, Icing, and …
Alternative Apparel & Allison Sudol Collab
Allison Sudol of A Fine Frenzy recently tweeted about her collab with Alternative Apparel (which produced three lovely designs; bear, tugboat, and tree). On closer examination, I think this project was back in August 2011 and in very limited supply. I ordered the tee with the cute tugboat design (the only one left I was …
Lisa Stickley & Stephanie Johnson: Vanity Case Innovation
Cute little makeup cases excite me! My current favorite is Stephanie Johnson’s Mumbai Collection. I love seeing the new designs that people can dream up e.g. the double pocket, the tall vanity, etc! Really wish Lisa Stickley would have more American stockists. Paying for international shipping on top of an expensive vanity case is a …
London Accessorize Haul
One night after a nice dinner at The Platform Bar & Restaurant in London (which I highly recommend), my husband and I walked across to admire the beautiful view at the promenade. Unexpected to me, sandwiched in-between was a large shopping arcade. I peeked into the store’s windows wishing the shops were still open (Boots, …
Threadless
I was watching Project Runway: Season 9 the other night and quickly went nuts over Fallene Well’s pajama tee (which she used to complete her first runway project). I did a quick Google search and discovered it’s “The Morning After” by Paul Southworth. It’s an image that I find both disgusting and madly cute at …
On Holiday with Vera Bradley’s Grand Traveler & Weekender
Recently my husband and I traveled to England and Wales. I brought my Vera Bradley Viva La Vera Weekender as my carry-on and really loved this bag for its generous pockets and ease of carrying. It kept all my belongings well organized and nicely accessible; with the added plus of being made with cheery patterned, …
Handbag Phenom: Onna Ehrlich
I’m lusting over Onna Ehrlich’s Francoise Croco Bowler and Dawn Croco handbags! They are so gorgeous, roomy, and look well-made! Simple design- I love that because some handbags are wayyy overly designed… ugh… I’ve only seen these two particular bag styles offered no more than once or twice in sample sales. Both times I missed …
Kate Spade: Just a Few Handbags I’ve Been Loving!
Do you remember the Kate Spade Sam? The “it” bag of 2000? It was a classic minimalistic (I mean this in a good way) handbag which was quite cute. I bought it in black and a deep silvery-grey (eventually we parted ways via eBay). My qualm about the Sam was that it was too bulky …
