Red

This
gorgeous satchel from Endless.com ($56.65) offers a bright pop of color with cute chain detailing and a roomy exterior. Pair this with a white tee and jeans and you’ll be good to go!

Yellow

Sunny and bright, the eye-catching hue of this
Big Buddha Bahama Tote ($95) just screams Spring! Frayed canvas detailing gives an extra does of personality to this tote, which can easily be used as a beach bag or for running around town doing errands.

Pink

This gorgeous fuchsia tote ($32.99) metal buckle detailing, croc-embossed shoulder straps and a bold color that’s perfect for Spring. The roomy interior includes a separate cell phone pocket as well as a back zip pocket to stash your lipgloss or coin purse for easy access. Perfect!

Bright White Bags to Welcome Spring

March 7, 2011 By Sara Cornell

White handbags are making a big entrance this spring, and while they have an undeniably impractical element to them, they make a bold fashion statement. Paired with your late winter/early spring dark hued neutrals, a white purse pops and can be the only accessory you need. White also transitions beautifully into the warmer months and keeps things light and breezy when the mercury rises. Here are some of my favorite white purses and handbags in stores now:

You can’t go wrong with a Mid City Tote from Foley & Corinna. Their products are always well made with the best materials and have a timeless style element that will last for years.

Foley & Corinna Mid City Tote $395 at Cusp.com

I love this white wristlet from Romygold. It’s chic and fresh and has just the right amount of toughness to take away the dainty element and brash up your look.

Romygold Wristlet Clutch $295 at TheShoeBox.com

If you’ve been walking to work and saving gas money lately you might have the extra cash lying around to splurge on this beauty from Diane von Furstenberg. Always elegant, always in style, DVF pieces can happily live in your wardrobe for years and years.

Diane von Furstenberg Stephanie Medium $875 at ShopStyle.com

If you do invest in a white bag, be sure to take care of your purchase. Keep your purse covered in a dust bag or plastic bag when not in use, and always check for contents that can cause permanent damage, like ball point pens or leaky lip glosses.

Rebecca Minkoff’s New Men’s Collection

January 14, 2011 By Sara Cornell

Rebecca Minkoff, my FAVORITE handbag designer, has just launched her men’s line: Ben Minkoff. I’m not sure. I like the Nicky Messenger Bag

Nicky Messenger Bag

and the Urz Computer bag

Urz Computer Bag

but I’m not sure about the rest of the collection.

Gregger Tote

Foster Tote

Danni iPad Sling

It makes me think that Rebecca Minkoff is either way away ahead of the fashion bell curve, or has totally missed the mark. What do you think? Would the men in your life carry these pieces?

ABOUT THE BRAND…

About

Crafted as a study in classic Americana, Ben Minkoff marries modern practicality with mid-century ruggedness. Introduced in Spring 2011, the collection is inspired by the iconic military heritage of my grandfather who was a World War II fighter pilot. Incorporating military design elements into masculine silhouettes, Ben Minkoff blends nostalgia and modernity; functionality and style. This collection seamlessly incorporates into the lifestyle of a dynamic, hardworking man.

The Ben Minkoff collection synthesizes a unique blend of classic fabrications creating a new twist on the familiar. We have scoured the globe for the highest quality genuine leathers, rugged waxwear, selvedge denims, and custom hardware in each piece of the hand-crafted collection. Taking extra care for each piece, these classic styles will withstand the test of time in both style and durability. Equal attention is paid to interior and exterior detailing throughout the design process resulting in a perfect synergy of function, relevance and sophistication.

Rebecca Minkoff designs can be purchased at RebeccaMinkoff.com and select retailers nationwide.

All I want for Christmas….

December 14, 2010 By Sara Cornell

Dear Santa: I’ve been a good girl this year. Mostly. I tried hard. I accomplished a lot. I didn’t lose my temper (too often). I fed my family healthy food and made sure homework was done and that everyone got to sports and after school stuff and parties on time. I walked the dog and fed the cat and went to the dentist and kept the house reasonably clean. I read the books for book club (well, at least one of them…) and I’ve been friendly to that pesky neighbor whose tiny dog is always barking at me. I recycled. This is what I’d like for Christmas:
