Abigail Breslin, (almost) all grown up, carries a Burberry bag in New York

Apr 23, 2013 by Emily Anderson

Little Abigail Breslin is almost a lady now at 17 years old, and I think it’s safe to say she’s quickly developing her own ideas about fashion. Here she’s paired a classic tartan Burberry Canterbury Shoulder Bag with a flowing white full-length dress, a fitted black blazer, and what we believe to be Jeffrey Campbell … Read more

Real Housewives of Orange County S08 E04 recap

RHOC: “When you’re home with four young children, you forget you’re an intelligent being sometimes.”

Apr 23, 2013 by Amanda Mull

Normally, I love a good Real Housewives dinner party fight, but on last night’s episode of Real Housewives of Orange County, the drama and strife just all seemed so…manufactured. The show is almost completely manufactured, of course, and generally I don’t mind it if that fact seems obvious here and there; that’s how our reality … Read more

Perfect Pairs: Jimmy Choo Clutch and Joomi Lim Bracelet

Perfect Pairs: Jimmy Choo and Joomi Lim

Apr 23, 2013 by Amanda Mull

It’s late April, and that means one thing to those of us in our lates 20s and early 30s: wedding season is upon us. I already have a few save-the-dates under my belt, with invitations to arrive shortly, and as usual, I have no idea what I’m going to wear. Warm-weather weddings and my penchant to wear black year-round just don’t quite jibe, but there’s also no part of me that intends to buy a handful of pastel dresses just to make it to August. After all, I’m already buying gifts. I’ll probably find something reasonably neutral to get me through the handful of events on my summer schedule, and if I had my way, I’d pair that probably-grey dress with the Jimmy Choo Mini Tube Mirrored Clutch and Joomi Lim Future Perfect Spike Bracelet.

Louis Vuitton raises prices in hopes of attracting more high-end customers

Apr 23, 2013Apr 22, 2013 by Amanda Mull

As Christina Passariello wrote in a recent Wall Street Journal article, Louis Vuitton, with its flagging growth and logo-covered bags, now finds itself in the throes of the fashion business’ most baffling paradox – how do you sell bags to as many people as possible without becoming a company that’s associated with mass-market consumerism instead of rarified luxury? At least right now, LVMH execs think that the solution to that problem might be to raise prices across the board. Vuitton’s growth has slowed in recent months because luxury-hungry consumers in emerging markets like China are becoming rapidly more sophisticated; in essence, they want subtle leather bags instead of the logo-covered canvas pieces that are Vuitton’s bread and butter, in addition to being the brand’s most visible symbol. So how, exactly, might a price hike help?

Should it stay or should it go: my Olympia Le-Tan Miami Book Clutch

Apr 22, 2013 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

I’ve been obsessed with Olympia Le-Tan book clutches for what seems like forever. Since I first discovered these handmade accessories, it has been love. With a wide variety of options stemming from many works of classic literature, if you’re a book worm and a bag lover, this brand is a match made in heaven.

I always check Net-A-Porter to see the latest arrivals, and usually, Le-Tan’s book clutches sell out as soon as they show up. Last week, though, I found the Olympia Le-Tan Planning Your Vacation in Florida: Miami embroidered clutch and I ordered it.

The Mulberry Willow Tote is finally available for purchase

Apr 18, 2013 by Amanda Mull

Well, it took long enough.

Thankfully, it’s just as beautiful as I had remembered it being, if … Read more
