chic to the A

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

I was reviewing the pictures from the couture collections 2010. I came across the pictures from the Armani Privé show, and was in awe with their handbag line. It is beyond beautiful. You can appreciate the quality in every piece. The colors, texture, design and style are superb.

My favorites? The 50’s inspired ladylike bags. A dream!

the bag…

I love this handbag by Devi Kroell. It is called The Beluga Clutch.  I think the design is different from all the clutches that I have seen around. I find the wood frame so stylish and the clasp beautiful. Exotic skins are a must for this season and for fall/winter we are going to see them everywhere. They are here to stay..

the notebook …

Simple, fun and innovative notebooks and stationery by Sukie. So cool and made from recycled paper !

the book cover …

What a fun and creative way to display your books!

Months ago I went into a friends house, and she has all her books, covered with this recycled paper covers. She has them displayed in a big bookshelf in her living room and it looks fantastic. I loved them so much, that it was one of my firsts posts, when I started this blog.

vintage high

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

I love vintage jewelry, and musing in outdoors markets and vintage stores is one of my favorite pastimes.  These neckpieces from Anita Quansah that I found in Shrimptoncouture.com are beyond. All of the pieces have been restored and reworked. I want them all…..
