Schoolgirl Satchel Bag at Great Price In Fab Colors from Cambridge Satchel Company

Old school elegance with a twist It's about that time in the season when we can use a boost. A midseason replacement bag, if you will. Not quite ready for spring and a bit tired of what's left over from fall. Our hobo bag is getting a bit tired, but with all the electronic gadgets in the world, there still is a certain degree of nonsense that we lug everyday and a munchkin bag really won't do the trick. Cambridge Satchel Company at ASOS I was doing a bit of online window shopping and came up this adorable classic with a twist shoulder bag from the Cambridge Satchel Company over at asos. It is a great midseason picker-upper, which you

Stylish Puffer Coats in Down or Fiber-Fill for Snow Day Chic

Let it snow 'cause you're warm, cozy & chic! My gosh, this holiday blizzard has so many of us scampering for some snow day chic.

There's nothing that wrecks my nerves more than to spot an otherwise style savvy woman in running around the city with a ski parka (worse with the ancient lift ticket dangling) or shivering her petunias off in a wimpy light jacket. Be prepared and look good too! The new breed of down or fiber-filled (better for those with allergies) puffer coats have enough urban style power, like the Mackage

Retail Remedy: Rag dolls & dogs make for whimsy rather than traditional holiday window displays Not so traditional Christmas, c'est si bon! There's nothing that I love more on my walking tours of Paris than to spot the unexpected, especially during the holiday season. Take these whimsical windows, for instance... Lanvin Okay, the windows at Lanvin are not your conventional Christmas windows by any stretch of the imagination. Instead of cutesy dancing bears and marionettes gaily prancing, there are dogs wearing top hats, spectacles, and bow ties and bald headed mannequins spattered in white paint. Nonetheless, I think they are the cats meow and the dog's bark. And, almost as cute as the Printemps Loves Lanvin windows! Lanvin Love the
