Necessary Objects London Patent Tote

It was love at first sight when I spotted this Necessary Objects London Patent Tote online.  The shiny patent finish takes the already eye-catching style of this handbag to another level and for only $39.99 ON SALE (hooray!), I was instantly sold.  This tote, also available in bronze and red, features a fabric interior and elasticized cell phone pocket.   An interior wall zip pocket and small drop pocket are perfect for all those other loose essentials.  It’s versatility at its best because this tote can easily dress up a pair of jeans or add the ‘wow’ factor to a simple dress.  Indeed, Necessary Objects has made this bag very necessary.          

Sarah Jessica Parker’s BITTEN Collection

When Sarah Jessica Parker launched her BITTEN fashion line this summer, I thought I was losing my hearing when she announced that everything in the collection is under $20.  Available exclusively at Steve and Barry’s stores, the BITTEN collection largely reflects Sarah Jessica Parker’s personal style and offers everything from jeans to suit separates.  Sweaters, tops, jackets, dresses, bags, jewelry, and shoes are also part of the collection and range in size from XS-XXL in tops, 0-22 in bottoms, and 5-11 in shoes.  Why did Parker name the collection BITTEN?  Apparently, Parker was "bitten by the Steve and Barry’s bug" the first time she walked into a Steve and Barry’s store and her reaction subsequently became the name of the collection.  I, for one, am grateful to Sarah Jessica Parker for designing a fashionable, wearable, yet affordable collection accessible to all women.  Who doesn’t love a bargain? Get ‘bitten’ by Sarah Jessica Parker’s new BITTEN fall collection at a Steve and Barry’s near you.

R & Y Augousti Beige Sunsnake Wallet

My dilemma has always been that I’ve wanted a new wallet, no matter what the price, which would basically prevent me from having any cash to put into the fantastic new wallet.

It’s only $195 from Barneys New York, made out of beige sunsnake with a shagreen (stingray skin) buckle. It’s exotic, gorgeous, and definitely within reach. Now if only they had a bag to match…

Burberry ‘Beaton’ Shopper

Continuing on with my beautiful bag obsession, I present to you the Burberry ‘Beaton’ Shopper. It’s available from Nordstrom’s online designer collection boutique for $1,995. The deep burgundy patent leather is as delicious as the sweetest Rainier cherry, while the polished nickel hardware has a certain old English charm, very appropriate to the Burberry heritage. The solid satin lining is super-luxurious, and the quilting is just right for fall. Get a new classic and complete your fall wardrobe!
