Badgley Mischka Carina Leather Hobo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

I love a good hobo -- handbag that is. They fit perfectly beneath your arm, hold enough essentials while still reserving room for the unexpected purchase, and comfortably sit on your shoulder without becoming a nuisance in daily life. Badgley Mischka's new Carina Leather Hobo, part of their platinum label, is available in Hunter -- a softened, dark green that speaks of cooler temperatures without insisting on a holiday-only occasion. Complete with a flat leather bow on the handle, gold-tone accents, zipper closure and three interior pockets, this useful bag looks easy to wear and enjoy for only $298. (14" x 11" x 5" with 11" strap drop)

Small Splurge - Badgley Mischka Couture Parfum Elixir

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Cosmetics and Fragrance

Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of meeting of the illustrious Mark Badgley and James Mischka at the launch of their fabulous new fragrance, Badgley Mischka Couture.

"The top notes are sexy, with pear nectar, blackberry, and dark plum. The heart of the fragrance is supremely feminine, achieved with voluptuous gardenia and hints of jasmine and violet. All this floats over a creamy wood and musk base."

One of the most exciting things about this fragrance is their chic little tube of gel -- Badgley Mischka Couture Parfum Elixir. The tube, with its lush velvet bag, is their take on the traditional portable roll-on fragrance, which they feel is too much "like deodorant." Rubbing in this gel is sensual way to apply fragrance, and as it's just slightly larger than a tube of lip gloss (a modest .5 fl. oz.), it's easy to toss into even a clutch purse -- or your carry-on plastic bag for the airport.

Badgley Mischka Couture Parfum Elixir is available from Elizabeth Arden for just $48.00. Also, watch for their new jewelry collection to be presented at Henri Bendel for Fashion's Night Out September 10!

Badgley Mischka Platinum Label Kara Drawstring Tote, Handbag of the Day

Badgley Mischka Platinum Label Women's Kara Drawstring Tote

The Badgley Mischka Platinum Label Kara Drawstring Tote is a beautiful bag with a number of exquisite details.

The cream colored leather is accentuated by contrasting, wide stitching and yellow gold tone hardware. We love the dramatic tassels, laced through porthole-like loopholes which cinch the tote into a casually gathered shape.

This is an excellent bag to pair with denim, and at 14.5"W x 13"H x 7.75"D it's large enough for a full Saturday of brunch, shopping, and even sight-seeing abroad. The detachable shoulder strap would be a perfect for when you're on the go. The purse is flirty and youthful, but the cream color keeps it elegant enough for a well-accoutered lady of any age.

The Badgley Mischka Platinum Label Kara Drawstring Tote is available from Bloomingdales for $575.

Badgley Mischka Parfum

When you get a scent that combines a musky undertone with floral notes and other bright, but feminine, components, it starts to smell like the holidays. Could this be a memory of past holiday parties, especially family gatherings, where you have different generations and different perfume preferences all mingling together? If so, the new perfume from Badgley Mischka could be ideal for the upcoming holiday season. The scent has base notes of musk, patchouli and sandalwood and top notes of red berries, creme de cassis, peach, white peony, jasmine and osmanthus flower. Of course, it could certainly be worn any time that a feminine, romantic scent is desired, too. Price: $225.

The Olsen Twins Model For Badgley Mischka

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Apparel, Celebrity Shopping

In the latest mix of celebrity and high-end fashion, Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen are modeling for Badgley Mischka. The tiny twins will appear in the ad campaign which will be in April fashion magazines. Gilles Bensimon shot the girls in their fancy glam garb in the presidential suite of the St. Regis hotel. WWD reports that the girls are also fans of the line and each has ordered six dresses from the designers. The girls look lovely but posed as they are in this hotel hallway they remind me of the ghost twins from the Shining. Eerie.
