I love the feel and romantic old-school texture of it, but hate the dowdy little velvet jumpers my parents forced me to wear as a kid (complete with white turtleneck and sumo-sized hair bow). I generally like velvet best when it’s used in [...] Read More

vs Amanda got me thinking about the Christian Louboutin Layered Leather Hobo. I already ran into this bag and was feeling a bit stumped. It reminded me of my childhood, in the form of a Rollie-Pollie, which is known to some adults (I say some because I still call [...] Read More

I’m very comfortable in my belief that Christian Louboutin is the best all-around shoe designer on the face of the planet right now. From a large stable of perfect basics to season after season of jaw-dropping art-in-shoe-form, Louboutin does almost everything that he does very well. Except for handbags. [...] Read More

It seems that even the most virtuous of handbag labels can take a stumble and come up with a style worthy of a bonfire. Can-do-no-wrong Chloe is trotting out the Joan bucket bag in an assortment of colors and skins as it's new hot style, but this is no Paddington, [...] Read More

I don't often pay attention to Kenneth Cole. I remember about 25 or 20 years ago, they were the only shoes I ever wore, but for some reason the company fell off my radar (in spite of their still fabulous ad campaigns). Then I saw a terrific looking handbag in [...] Read More
