Hayden-Harnett Mercer Clutch

August 17, 2008

I have coveted the Hayden-Harnett Mercer Clutch for a couple of years now. I have only ever seen one other person carrying this style — a black one — and I was enthralled by the little HH details. When these Mercers went on sale last month, I could resist no longer, and ordered one in [...]

LV Tivoli PM, Redux

August 16, 2008

More than eight months after I first wrote about this style, I finally caved in and got one. Its cuteness just reeled me in! I’d been looking for a small hand-held bag to carry on weekends, when I don’t need to carry all my workday stuff. I have a cute little black leather Cole-Haan bag [...]

Balenciaga Step in Petal Pink

August 3, 2008

It has been almost a year since I last posted about Balenciaga. I actually sold all my Bals over the past year or so, including a the Black and Violet/Grape Citys from my previous post, a Box in Rouge Vif, another City in Ink, a 2004 First in Eggplant, and a vintage 2005 City in [...]

Louis Vuitton Palermo and Tivoli

December 30, 2007

I haven’t done an LV post for a while, mainly because they haven’t offered anything new that impressed me. However, these two bags were released for late fall ’07, and they actually appeal to me quite a bit. They have a lot in common, but are very different bags. Palermo makes my practical, Capricorn side [...]

Chloe Edith in Red and Ivory

December 8, 2007

Just in time for the holidays, here is my lovely red Chloe Edith. After trying out several Paddington styles last fall and deciding they didn’t work for me, I’ve been off Chloe for a while. But last month, Edith somehow caught my eye, and I was suddenly, hopelessly smitten with her retro look. I found [...]
