Devi Kroell Two-Tone Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

If you ever been hesitant to mix black and brown in your outfit, Devi Kroell's Two-Tone Satchel ($1390) will help the lead the way. Using black as the predominant color, various shades of brown are incorporated into the bag's body, while a textured silver rod helps to break up a dark color palette and add a little shimmer. While Kroell's Satchel is on the small side (7" H x 12" W x 5.5" D), the interior, which has a zip pocket and two interior compartments, is roomy enough for your personal items without making the bag bulky.

Filed under: Shoes

In preparation for the ultimate party night of the year, we've featured 12 gorgeous dresses and 16 sparkling jewels as inspiration for you to look your best. Our last fashion feature for New Year's Eve focuses on statement making heels. The heels featured are all about glamour and sexiness. They scream "look-at-me!". We've thrown out the criteria of comfort. It's all about women feeling their most beautiful, with unfortunately, a little dose of discomfort that we have all experienced from being in heels all night long. These heels are in no way going to be comfortable for an entire evening of socializing, dancing, drinking and eating. So prepare to bring flats with you so you can end the night in comfort.

Fendi Savana Mini Baguette

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

I've always been drawn to rustic colored handbags. Especially chocolate brown and burnt orange. Brown is a versatile color that complements many outfits, while burnt orange injects an understated pop of color. It's no wonder the Fendi Savana Mini Baguette ($935) caught my attention. Although described as being brown, the Savana Mini has burnt orange undertones making for a unique hue. This lady-like purse is fashioned in a shimmery grained leather with a gold toned chain link shoulder strap that really sets it off. Add a logo medallion and voila – you have yourself a breathtakingly elegant purse that could be worn for work or a special evening out. Measurements: 4.5" x 7" x 1".

Exotic Handbags by Jilly New York

Filed under: Handbags

Simple elegance never goes out of style yet it can be difficult to find. It's easy to get caught up in trends and the latest it-'fill in the blank' without taking into consideration what you really want. And I can safely say we all want an item that will stand the test of time; one that we will use and wear for years on end.

And that is the philosophy of Jilly New York. Their motto: Quiet Luxury. Classic Elegance. Exotic Beauty. You can't go wrong with designing from such a sound foundation. Creative Designer Jill Haber says she was inspired by the "desire to find gorgeous handbags that are not embellished with overbearing, heavy hardware or logos. I thought that gorgeous, exotic skin
was the perfect canvas to create easy, chic pieces that complement a woman's style, rather than dictate it."

Halston's Hot Red Astor Boots

Filed under: Shoes

The holiday season must have some sort of unconscious hold on me because I can't get enough of red shoes. Mind you, I don't even own a single pair of red shoes. So in the spirit of the holiday season, let's embrace a little unexpected color to our shoes.

Halston's cherry red suede Astor Boots ($388) are vampy and in-your-face bold. They have a slouched shaft with a matching red leather self-tie and rounded toe for a flirty and casual effect. Pair with slim fitting jeans tucked in for maximum effect and a slouchy wool sweater for a touch of casualness. Heel measurements: 4 1/2".

Christian Louboutin Zermadame Boots

Filed under: Shoes

There is a whole lot of sexy coming from Christian Louboutin's Zermadame Ankle Boots ($701). And it's the kind of sexy that can be tamed with "an ode to the 70s conservative" outfit (think Chloe Fall 2010 line - beige wide leg trousers with a loose fitting blouse) and still be worn into the office. Or completely unleash a vampy side by pairing with skinny cords, a body hugging dress or even a pair of fall/winter shorts and decorative tights.

Set in intense dark red leather with faux snake print, Louboutin's pointy toed boots have sheen making them even more noticeable and ultra stylish. The heel measures at 4.5" and features a back zipper for an easy slip on and slip off.

Pierre Hardy x Sequoia Paris Jane Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Ariston Anderson (RSS feed) —

The Jane Shopping Bag takes two of the season's hottest trends, menswear and medicine bags, combining them with a retro flair for a style that is timeless and effortless. With black and brown accents, the bag can literally go with anything, and provides enough room to take along for a full day of errands. The soft leather in distressed goatskin provides a unique pattern, ensuring that no two bags will be exactly alike.

If there's one style lesson to learn from the French, it's to invest in a few wardrobe staples, and the rest will follow. Glamour girls Sophie Marceau and Julie Depardieu have long followed the house of Sequoia Paris, carrying their remarkably utilitarian yet stylish bags on their arms from the greenmarket to the red carpet.

Legendary designer Pierre Hardy has served as the line's Creative Director since its inception in 1988, when he sought to create a line of fashion handbags both decadent and useful. Sequoia Paris, sold in top retailers like Le Bon Marche and Printemps, has proven to be a signature in luxury-crafted French leather goods. Now, this classic line is coming stateside with a new collection intent on bringing the classic French style to an American market.

Available for $556 at Sequoia Paris.

Anthropologie's Sweet Sentinel Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Take the blissful days of summer and the picturesque scenes of nature with you wherever you go with Anthropologie's Sweet Sentinel Handbag ($158). A colorful bird peacefully sits upon a branch, bringing to mind memories of enjoying long summer days, with not a care in the world or impending task. Or perhaps that was more of a dream because I haven't had a summer vacation since middle school.

Nevertheless, the Sweet Sentinel Handbag has playful and charming accents (a cute little bird, leather ribbons weaved along the side and golden grommets) but with a stylish edge that still makes it very wearable. The cotton lined interior features several pockets for your belongings and has a zippered closure for added security. Handle drop 7". Measurements: 10"H x 15"W x 10"D.

Versace Patent & Suede Boots

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Shoes

Versace is all about sex appeal. Their clothes are created in such a way that they wrap around a woman's body and enhance everything. It's difficult not to notice a woman wearing a Versace vixen dress. And the same can be said of their shoes.

Take a gander at Versace's High Heeled Boots ($1088). Styled in suede, navy patent leather straps run across the vamp and toe box with golden studs and grommets that nicely break up a sea of purplish blue. There's slight ruching at the top making for a subtle accent if worn with jeans or skinny cords tucked in. Additionally, Versace's High Heeled Boots have an almond shaped toe, which always seem to make your feet look smaller - if that's a concern. My favorite accent is the hint of vixen red around the dark wooden cone shaped heel. These sexy boots would make for a bold alternative to your basic black and brown fall boots.

Tofinou 12 Sailing Yacht by Philippe Starck & Goyard

by Jared Paul Stern (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Yachts & Sailing, Architecture & Design

Don't have $300 million to commission an eye-popping megayacht from freak of nature Philippe Starck? You don't need to be a Russian billionaire to afford his newest ocean-going feat of high design, the 39-ft. Tofinou 12 sailing yacht (above) from France's Latitude 46 boatyard. Starck employed precious woods, leather, steel and bespoke monogrammed canvas storage pouches from the famed house of Goyard to decorate the teak, mahogany, carbon fiber and Kevlar in the boat's construction. Due to be unveiled at next month's Paris Boat Show, the four-berth weekender features twin carbon wheels which Starck has wrapped in luxe leather. A stainless steel-framed rosewood companionway gives onto a saloon decked out in floor to ceiling leather, with wide curved seating, oversized cushions, a varnished painted oval table and mirror polished stainless steel mast support. "A Tofinou doesn't exist," Starck states. "It's just a dream, an evocation, a breeze, a sigh of happiness. So little materiality, so elegant. The perfect quality and timelessness of Tofinou born within the natural intelligence of the relationship between the sea and man."

Azumi and David Leather Shoes Pouch, Handbag of the Day

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

As a designer, it can be difficult to decide on which creative path to pursue. It appears that the designers behind Azumi and David saw the fork in the creative road and proceeded straight - doing exactly what they felt like doing with no regard to trends.

Their Leather Shoes Pouch ($411) encompasses the styling of a shoe and has merged that with an oversized Chanel inspired quilted clutch. Aside from a heel sticking out at the base, the clutch itself is beautifully simple and elegant. It's made with soft leather, has a roomy interior, a fold over closure and complementing minimal hardware. I suppose one benefit of having a heel as part of your clutch is that it will stand on its own.

Charlott Vasberg Multi Pocket Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

There's an explosion of haphazardly placed pockets on the Multi Pocket Bag by Charlott Vasberg ($654). When I first came across Vasberg's shoulder bag, it was this unexpected accent which immediately caught my attention.

There are three zippered or snap closure exterior pockets that make it easy for you to grab your smaller essentials while the interior has a large base allowing for a multitude of items to fit comfortably without adding bulkiness. Additionally, there is an adjustable shoulder strap, allowing you to you wear across the body or at your shoulder. Styled in a dark rich chocolate brown napa leather, Vasberg's Multi Pocket Bag would make a versatile and unique fall accessory. Measurements: 14"W x 9"H x 4"D.
