Current Obsession

Any handbag lovers out there? I mean those who REALLY love their handbags? Enough to bring them out and lovingly display them? Maybe even change your handbag a few times in one day in order to wear them all? I'm that person. I realize it's a bit of a problem, and my 401K can attest to that. I've had few friends that can actually relate to this obsession of mine, and I can't really blame them. I got my first Louis Vuitton handbag when I was 20 years old with my first major commission check, and never looked back. Although my tastes have changed and I'm not much for logos/monograms anymore, I cannot resist a beautifully designed bag. This Alexander Wang Rocco has been my latest obsession. So much so, that I've purchased several.  I'm not sure what it is.....the rose gold, the shape, or the simplicity...either way, it mixes glamour with edge and I seem to gravitate towards that look. Isn't she gorgeous? (Rosie Huntington-Whitley isn't so bad, either!) Do you have a favorite handbag designer?

The Lady Has Style

Have you ever seen someone who's style just seems to captivate you? Someone who always looks so pulled together without looking like she's trying too hard? Effortless style is something so few people have and when they nail it, the fashion gods sing. Emmanuelle Alt, the Editor-in-Chief of French Vogue, is just such a woman in my opinion. Effortless, never fussy and always with the right mix of casual tomboy with a just hint of girly touches. Too much feminine frill has never been my style, as I'm more of a tee shirt and jeans kind of girl. A great statement bag or cuff is all you need. Of course fabulous shoes never hurt either!  Who inspires your fashion style?
