We are so obsessed with this new addition to our Fall collection!  The Athena Crossbody Canteen made of blush colored leather with scales lightly tipped in gold and a geo circle push clasp is hot on trend.   Pink in all sort of shades from dusty rose to fuchsia has appeared on the runway and in fashion magazines as the new trend color for Fall Winter 2016.   So if you've been looking for the perfect pink bag to freshen up your fall look, this is it.   Also available in Black, Grey, Ocean and Eggshell if you prefer the more classic colors.

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!

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.

April was a whirlwind of handbags as we prepped for FW 2016 presentations and I never got a chance to post to the blog about Coachella! A few friends and I ventured to the desert, handbags in tow, for a fun and fashionable weekend of music. Some of my favorites were there - Grimes, Miike Snow, and Ellie Goulding - along with some amazing headline sets by LCD Soundsystem, Guns 'n Roses and Calvin Harris. So fun! But despite music being the main attraction, it was impossible not to notice the major festival fashion scene. The people watching was too good. While some hobbled around in platforms, the best examples managed to look cool AND comfortable - after all, that long dirt route from the road to the festival is BRUTAL, not to mention all the exploring once you're there. No one wants to be the limping friend with blisters. I was stoked to pair our gorgeous new Spring Summer 2016 GRACE Convertible Crossbody Bag with color (and pattern) coordinating Nikes for the first day. Desert hues complete with a fashion-forward leather tassel. Love this bag and the way it elevated the Nikes.

Birds are chirping, blossoms blooming... SPRING is here and so is our Spring Summer 2016 Collection! We are so thrilled to introduce the new line of handbags made from luxurious materials such as woven watersnake, printed leather, Swarovski crystals, quilted snakeskin, and even wood - yes, wood! I love the new AURORA Minaudiere and Tall Box Clutch and the smooth, architectural qualities of the wood. They're a perfect look for the warm weather ahead, plus they are SO versatile - dress one up as an elegant clutch for a June wedding or dress it down as a chic crossbody bag for a stylish Sunday picnic or brunch with friends.

How lovely is our new Spring Summer 2015 MINA Clutch? Already sold out in one of its three colors, this popular metallic mini bag is easy to wear yet stands apart due to its amazing texture. The other day I took my new gold MINA Clutch out to lunch at the Marin Country Mart to enjoy the warm weather. I originally bought this bag with the Spring Summer wedding season in mind, visions of flowers and champagne, but our MINA Clutch was just as stylish dressed down at this casual lunch in the sunshine, crossbody chain out, iced tea in hand. Summer gold. ☼
