What's in a bag?

A woman's purse is a window to her life, to look inside is to see her very existence...
Or at least this is my view. The inner realms of the purse hold a treasure trove of trinkets that tell of our loves, our quirks and our habits! Here is what's in mine, the things I never go anywhere without!




Lady bag and Satchel by Rebecca Minkoff. The pink is feminine yet exudes power because of the print. I would carry this to the office daily!



This is a weekender bag! Large and roomie enough for a good book to tag along, I'd carry this everywhere.
Now peak into my world...


A great pair of classic sunnies. Tory Burch city glasses, so town and country.
A place to be creative and write my epiphanies: These adorable journals are by Archie Grand, a Londoner and a fellow lover of paper. They say adorable things like, "Capitalists I met and liked, Hipsters I met and liked, Husbands I Had and liked. ..too cute!



My favorite lipstick: YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick....the one and only! Love the tube, love the smell, love the coverage! They also have a phenomenal collection of colors...included at least 5 nudes that I own ALL of!

A magic potion: Kiehl's facial fuel eye de-puffer: bought it for my husband, kept it for myself:) It's from the men's line but I won't tell if you won't! Presto chango your eyes go from tired to perky on account of the caffeine in here!


Chanel glossimer: hands down my favorite lip gloss, not to mention everyone needs a little Chanel in their lives:) Favorite shades: Magnifique and Summer Plum.


Driving gloves from Carolina Amato, these are perfect for fall, and then I'll switch to her long leather gloves for winter!


Last but not least, A good Gerogette Heyer novel to pass the time anywhere I am:)
Arabella, is one of my favorite:)

What I want today: Brown Leather Skirts!

Every morning I wake up and step onto my balcony. I breathe deep, smile at the day, and then the wind hits my face and I think....What should I wear today? Life's eternal question springs again! These days I find myself itching to put on one of this season's buttery brown leather skirts! So fall appropriate, no gust of wind will make me cold while wearing this fabric! Join me in being warm and fashionable, put on a brown leather skirt!!
Here is how it's done....

This is DVF's take on it in chocolate...special thanks to Miss Audra who sent me a link to this collection!
Here is JCrew's version! This in my opinion is the perfect color!! It looks like it could have just fallen off of the tree in my back yard!
And I just thought I would throw in the perfect pair of oxfords to wear with this one;) Also JCrew.
Here is the pencil cut, awesome for a power lunch...



Happy fall!!
