Herschel Supply Company x Liberty of London.

If you follow this blog, you know we're fans of Herschel Supply Co. I've bought Herschel bags and wallets and I'm telling you, the quality never fades. Even after a year, their products still look brand new. So basically what I'm saying is, they make quality products with clean and interesting designs. And there's practically a new collaboration every day.

Outfit of the Day: Blue Christmas Sweater and Turban.

I think Theophilus phrased it the best when he said "I think holiday sweaters somehow just make the holiday better..."

You know what brother? I second that emotion. There's no better time for a big bulky sweater, than around the holidays. My sweater of choice is this navy blue and white hand knit vintage joint. I wore it with two early Christmas gifts from Chi Chi (hey girl, heeyy): a blue houndstooth scarf that I wore as a turban and a red Olivia + Joy bag with metal accents.

Then I have on one of the most comfortable pairs of jeans I own with wheat Timbs. I'm not sure if Timbs will ever really go out of style. They always seem to find their way back into relevance don't they?

Welp. Enjoy your holidays.

New Digs: Urban Expressions Envelope Bag, Deux Lux Glitter Wallet, and more.

Urban Expressions

There's nothing like the holidays to get you in a shopping mood. These were some of my Thanksgiving treats, even though none of them were purchased on Black Friday (I wasn't dealing with that foolishness in stores.)

I got an adorable blue and beige purse by Urban Expressions. I love the envelope style and the gold accents like the chain strap. Deux Lux sparkley wallet with gold accents as well. Gold is all types of popular right now if you haven't noticed.

Bags'a Make Her Dance.

Reed Krakoff Atlantique Leather Tote,  Chloe Paraty Leather Bag, Victoria Beckham Victoria Tote, Marc by Marc Jacobs Mini Shoulder Bag, Charlotte Olympia Big Kiss Clitch,  Alexander McQueen De Manta Clutch

As any woman knows, you can never have too many handbags. And there are some seriously beautiful handbags out there right now. I really love the vivid blues and oranges, so the Chloe and Beckham are yowzers to me. I remember when my sister got her first Chloe bag a few years ago....the leather so soft, yal. *cues up Weezy. And the Charlotte Olympia Big Kiss bag is just so fun. I would probably wear it all the time.

But really I love all of the bags above.
Which ones your fave?

Mulberry and Monsters.

Mulberry's beautiful, whimsical shoot for their Fall 2012 Ad Campaign.
Model Lindsey Wixson was shot alongside what looks like beasts from "Where the Wild Things Are."
She's carrying the Del Rey, Maisie and the new embellished Alexa bags. The campaign will break in The New York Times on June 24, and then in the August issue of U.S. and U.K. Vogue.

"Shot by Tim Walker in Blackheath Forest in Surrey, England, the campaign was inspired by creative director Emma Hill’s themes of dark fairy tales and fantasy travels. “The campaign is an interpretation of dreams and fears,” said Ronnie Cooke Newhouse, who art directed the campaign with her company, House + Holme. Walker said: “Ever since I was a little boy, I hoped to see a monster in the woods. Now, we all get to.”"

Bag Lady.

These are some of the coolest bags I've been looking at lately.
Naturally, these are a bit outside of a normal budget, but I'm not exactly concerned with buying the designer brands.

Take note of the style and structure of the bag and go to your local thrift store or department store and try to find something that reminds you of these at a much cheaper cost.
This is the look, now go out and make it your own.

Neon, crochet, metallic, bold clutches, and animal prints.
Yes!
DOLCE AND GABANA
Crocheted-cotton leather-trimmed tote
$2,895
I love the multi colored crochet
It's super bright and super fun.
It's also a relatively large bag and would be a big statement piece of any outfit.

BOTTEGA VENETA
Watersnake-trimmed ceramic and glass knot clutch
$3,550

CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN
Sweet Charity python and leather shoulder bag
$2,495



MIU MIU
Hand-painted watersnake shoulder bag
$2,150
I love prints that are hand-painted or have that hand-painted look.
It would be pretty unique if you got a bag from the thrift store and custom painted it yourself.

MATTHEW WILLIAMSON
Embellished fringed suede clutch
$975
Rich blue suede accented with shells and fringe along the outside.
A vacation in a handbag.



VERSACE
Metallic leather shoulder bag
$1,625
This bag is gorgeous. 
The shape of the bag, and the bright metallic with the chain?
It can do no wrong in my eyes.
