When I first fell in love:

My new obsession is ‘manly’:

I love how Isabel Marant maintains a distinct shape in her design but changes up the style.

They are beyond expensive but in a perfect world, they’d be mine.

Yay or Nay?

An embroidered bag is high on my list right now because it goes with just about everything, most are multi-seasonal and can be worn into the fall and they’re just so eyecatching!

Ricki Hand Embroidered Bag - SouthMoon Under

Lambada Etno Leather Clutch - ShopFrillsCompany

Jefferey Campbell Rizzler in Navajo

Knapsack! You know how much I love those!

Aeo Embroidered Bag - ae.com

The best thing about the bags posted is that they’re all great prices (knapsack being most expensive) so even if you feel like it’s a phase, you won’t feel like you’ve made such a big investment. Which is your fave?

Every once in a while there comes a designer that really makes you get EXCITED about clothes and the direction Fashion is going and the talent inside some people. Alber Elbaz for Lanvin absolutely does it for me in the high-end category, but the contemporary award most definitely goes to Alexander Wang …*sighs* he has my fashion heart!

Without further a due, be in awe of some of the F/W 2010 collection! I’ll take everything in a size 4, size Small PLEASE!

Clean sharp lines, impeccable tailoring, a new modern-spin on an old fave such as suiting! A sleepy-hollow equestrian living in 2010 I believe is the perfect bubble to describe this collection! Thick-knits and short skirts is the mantra and I love it…well at least until about mid-November when it starts to get crrrrrrrazy cold lol!

And while the collection isn’t “all black everything” it might as well be, splash some gray, a bit of camel and a hint of Charcoal and that’s a wrap; but if all black isn’t in, then I have to be out, because this collection is too gorge to pass up!

Peep the rest of the collection and the Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (lol!) shoes after the jump! (more…)

Unfortunately, I don’t have a passport holder .. I’m always just throwing it in my purse or carry-on when I’m rushing to get through Customs and then running very manic-like to get on board!

A pretty passport holder is so needed .. Here are some that I’ve recently drooled over

Classic LV holder, I heart the Red one

Timeless lacquered Tiffany’s & Co holder, available in Black, Pink and Tiffany’s Blue

Metallic Kate Spade holder, love this one … so shiny you could never lose it!

This ones for you Coco!
Valextra and OrphanAid Africa have collaborated to create two beautiful hand-crafted leather with the continent of Africa stitched on it, and of course a portion of the sales go to OrphanAid Africa

Do you have a pretty passport holder? My bf purchased one at a variety store in Europe with the Canadian coat of arms on it and he absolutely loves it, where did you find yours?
