FANCY SHMANCY

After last night's glamorous Oscars, we're feeling super fancy shmancy.  Gorgeous gowns, flawless faces and elegance...pure elegance...everywhere you looked.  We're especially inspired by all the sparkling crystal, whether it was draped on dresses, dripping on jewelry, glittering clutches, even bejeweling the stage sets!  Which is why today we're pulling all the stops and showing you our best SWAROVSKI crystalled pieces, just in case you too have a fancy ball to go to...yourself.  Shop CRYSTAL BAGS.

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD

It's officially wedding season.  The scent of fresh flowers is beginning to permeate the air, the sound of rain is fading into distant memory, and beautifully handcrafted invitations are starting to arrive at their destinations.  With so many tasks to tackle, finding an optimal clutch that can ideally hold all that you need for such a special day should be the least of your worries.  On the wishlist: something not only pretty for all the keepsake photographs but smart too, to hold your lipstick, powder, mini perfume, phone and (don't forget) tissues.  Well lucky for you, your search ends here.  Not only are these bags pretty and smart, they evoke a certain romanticism for the day at hand.  From the Swarovski crystal encrusted heart clasps or the sparkling ornament made with Swarovski crystals, these clutches will forever be sweet mementos of love.  So whether you're shopping for yourself, the MOB or your bridesmaids, check off your to-do list and make room for the more important things, making memories.  (For more bridal bags, click here.)

EVENING ESSENTIALS

So you've got the dress, but what about the rest? Introducing our elegant PAULINA Silk Minaudiere, a stunning silk version of our popular snake print PAULINA Leather Minaudiere. This chic crossbody evening bag is made with crystals from SWAROVSKI so it shines bright through the night, and while it comes in more colors, I find it to be the perfect little black bag for special occasions from date night to holiday parties (and everything in between). Pink Pepper boutique paired it with elegant earrings and a bold red lip for a classic evening look. We approve!

CENTRE COURT CHIC

I just discovered the fanciest festival in the world and it's called Wimbledon. It felt so classy and luxurious, from the official timekeeper being Rolex to the simple fact that there is an official champagne of Wimbledon (anything with an official champagne has my seal of approval). And more importantly, it was so much fun! My boyfriend and I went for two days, first with a grounds pass to sit in at courts 3 through 18 and sip Pimms cups on Henman Hill. The classic day out at Wimbledon, complete with strawberries and cream. The second day we were lucky to score seats at Centre Court tickets for the day, for matches including Andy Murray's second round win (and he just went on to win the tournament - hurrah!). Our chic AURORA Minaudiere was the perfect bag for Wimbledon, especially for Centre Court - stylish and sophisticated but not too formal. Whether my other hand was holding a flat white at the morning match or a glass of champagne mid-afternoon, this versatile crossbody clutch was the perfect accessory. Game, set, match.

Fall Weddings

Beautiful weddings deserve beautiful accessories! Delighted to have carried our new Paulina Minaudiere to a friend's wedding in the Santa Cruz mountains this past weekend. Fall weddings are so lovely - from the colorful leaves to the romantic nip in the air. After all, a cool breeze is just another reason to get close to your date, right?

ANOTHER WEEKEND, ANOTHER WEDDING!

It's that time of year again - wedding season! I don't know about you, but so far I've had three weddings in four weekends and there are plenty more on the horizon! From intimate, casual chic celebrations to some truly luxurious ones, I feel very fortunate to be included in so many lovely festivities this summer. The most recent wedding I had the pleasure of attending was absolutely incredible. They went all out! Our new ZENA Clutch accompanied me to the elegant outdoor reception at the Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay. For those who aren't familiar with this scenic destination, imagine yourselves perched on a rocky bluff overlooking the California coast, flowers everywhere. The fog decided to stay away and it was a beautiful day for a wedding. My stylish wood clutch and I basked in the sunshine and felt the love, flower petals fluttering down all around the happy couple. What a day!

BLUE & GOLD FEVER

The office is buzzing with Warriors pride!! Last night's victory was incredible. As a Bay Area company 29 years in the making (and myself a Bay Area native), the Warriors are our team and one that we have grown up rooting for. No bandwagoneers here - I have been wearing this vintage Warriors jacket for over ten years now (likely from the late '70s and my favorite thrift store find to date). Beyond excited for these exceptional players! Let's pop some champagne!

GLOBAL GIVING

I just returned from the most beautiful wedding weekend in Mendocino! My boyfriend, Charlie, and I were among 300 guests gathered beneath a redwood grove on an absolutely gorgeous day, just a mile or so from the Pacific Ocean (just far enough for the sun to break through the fog!). The wedding ceremony was lovely, the vows rang true and the bride's style was majorly on point. Mine wasn't so bad either. In fact, I was delighted to have another occasion to carry my GLOBAL GIVING Charity Foldover Clutch! Aside from the fact that the metallic pewter leather was a perfect complement to my muted lavender dress, it also feels good to carry it knowing that 25% of proceeds are donated to charity projects around the world through GlobalGiving. This big, beautiful celebration full of happy, lovely friends was just one more reason to consider those less fortunate and the capacity within all of us to help. Check out globalgiving.org to see all of the charity projects they fund around the world.
