Bottega Veneta Large Lambskin Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Bottega Veneta Large Lambskin Shoulder Bag is a lovely big blue bag, marvelously executed and fabulously practical.

This roomy, Italian-made shoulder bag is built for comfort. It's made with ultra-light lambskin, which ensures it won't be too heavy even before you fill it, and the knotted shoulder strap is braided with malleable leather, soft against your shoulder and easy on your hand.

The bag is 21½"W X 12½"H X 12"D, lined in pretty grey suede, and has two center compartments, a cell phone pouch and an inside zip pocket. It closes with a magnetic snap at the top. We especially love the signature Intrecciato detail woven down the middle of the bag, and the way it gathers at the bottom. Tote bags have started to get so boring -- and this is just as big, with a lot more character.

The Bottega Veneta Large Lambskin Shoulder Bag is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $2,350.00.

Pale blue is the color of the season or maybe even the year. Even Pantone anointed turquoise as the it shade. As with personal fashion, in home decor, the accents are what can make your table look new and fresh. A few selected blue items from Magenta take the blue trend in a sweetly luxe direction combining the color of a cloudless sky with hints of gold. The studded stacking bowls shown above are $168 for the set. Click through after the jump for more beautiful summery inspirations.

Alexis Bittar Montauk Bracelet

Filed under: Jewelry

The Montauk Bracelet ($495) by Mr. Lucite himself - Alexis Bittar - is like a beautiful explosion of turquoise stones coming from a jagged edged crystal. Its breathtaking presence is reminiscent of a family heirloom that has been passed from one generation to the next. The Montauk Bracelet has a balanced feel between old world sensibilities and modern appeal. I especially love its eye popping color that will add such vibrancy and fun to your outfit. It measures at 2.5" diameter and 1.5" high.

Turquoise is Pantone's Color For 2010

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Apparel

Last year color-defining company Pantone chose sunny Mimosa as the shade for 2009. Their choice for the color of 2010 is PANTONE® 15-5519 Turquoise, a tranquil blue-green hue that recalls tropical waters and clear skies. The choice marks another year of distinctly cheery hues, far less dramatic than 2008's moody blue iris or 2007's fiery chili pepper red. Pantone's color experts say that the turquoise color can be used as an accent both in clothing and in home decor to provide a calming and colorful touch. They are also pushing it as a wedding color, pointing out how well it offsets white. One trendsetter has already embraced turquoise, Michelle Obama wore a bright turquoise dress on December 2 while unveiling the White House holiday decorations.

Stephen Dweck Turquoise Jewelry

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Jewelry

I love these big chunky jewelry creations by Stephen Dweck, featuring hand-carved turquoise, sterling silver, and a little bit of coral. Jewels are pretty but I'm a little more casual, so even though it's big (it measures 1" x 1 3/4") a statement ring like this would be much easier for me to wear than a diamond or other sparkly gem. The set, if you wanted them all, includes a bracelet and earrings, all carved in a similar floral pattern with sterling silver. $560 - $870

Ippolita Turquoise Bangle

by Star Sutherland (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Jewelry

Spring 2008 is all about turquoise, every boutique I go in is full of the sea green stones. Past times showed us turquoise accented with silver (which I never liked), but combine it with today's gold influence and it takes on a fresh effervescent look. Italian born Jewelry designer, Ippolita brings you bangles that are dainty yet bold from her popular 18 kt gold line. This hand made, nine-stone bracelet looks amazing layered, but is also strong enough to stand alone, it retails for $2,950 and is available online.

Jill Albert Vintage Ribbon Ring

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Jewelry

If you are a clothing and accessory addict, them most likely when you were a little kid, you loved to play dress up in your mom's closet. Personally, I distinctly remember a pair of my mother's brown slouchy leather boots and oversized sunglasses that I loved. Oh, how I wish I still had them today. Jill Albert's Ribbon Ring featured here, is so reminiscent of those times - when you played dress up and searched for something that wasn't necessarily beautiful or ugly, but was eye catching and would make a powerful statement for your outfit. Albert's Ribbon Ring is made of gold with tiny turquoise stones scattered throughout. This vintage ring is one that you would certainly find in your mom's closet, or perhaps in your grandmother's closet, and keep until you were of age to carry it off properly with style and sophistication. Price $340.

Mallary Marks Turquoise Drop Earrings

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Jewelry

Along with ice cream, flip flops, and picnics, anything turquoise reminds me of the summer. Last year it seemed to be all the rage and I expect that we will more it this summer. I find the subtle and minimal pieces have more of a bold and lasting effect than a piece that is overly decorated and busy looking. Mallary Marks Turquoise Drop Earrings would be a welcomed accessory to any outfit. They are unassuming yet very polished and classy. Made of 18kt gold, they hang about 1 1/2" from your ears. Price: $1095.
