Happy St Patrick's Day

THEY call it a diaper bag~  I call it a

handbag with plenty of pockets.

This evergreen and lime vintage inspired floral European cut velvet with coordinating evergreen wool tweed and evergreen water resistant lining is a cleverly capable, polished, traveled and trim - the sublime companion, amenable to every whim. An overnight stay or the black-and-white ball, everything's near at hand in a Cosmo Carryall. Cake is in the details. $349

No Shenanigans!

New York City Sidewalks

Isn't this a fun tote to use for light shopping

around town?  So much better than one reading 

"I'm Green R U? "

 I love the newspaper print

and street scenes.

Anyone who knows me, knows I love NYC

so this is a match made in heaven...

How funny is it, that I also own a dress 

with a black and white street scene.

I promise, never to be worn together.

Too much of a good thing.

What's In Her Bag?

Today, a peek inside the bag of 

Emily Schuman who writes the sassy,

lovely blog Cupcakes and Cashmere.

MCM

MCM (Mode Creation Munich)

 is one of those 

luxury brands that has lead a quiet life.

Founded in 1976,  they have always prided 

themselves with their timeless designs, 

traditional craftsmanship, offering a

"heritage of elegance". 

The line of leather goods and apparel

has long been a favorite of seasoned travelers, 

celebrities and royals.

Honestly, I am only now getting to know the line and 

I very much like what I see.

Many of the bags are gorgeous, understated

classics in addition, there are offerings with

 modern, playful twists- think

Jackie O heading into The Pierre.

Plus, I love the print campaign 

with the iconic luxury lifestyle images-

offering up plenty of 'I want that'.

And while they do not sell

e commerce on their own sight,

the bags are available at Bloomingdales

and Saks and well priced, hovering

around and average of $600.
