title pic Label Love: Flipping Over Filippa K!

While many of us would love to look like we just stepped out of the pages of Vogue on a daily basis, practicality and comfort often get in the way. Prancing about in super tight, over accessorized ensembles and teetering around in sky-high heels is fun on occasion, but just will not work for everyday! Yet, this doesn’t mean that we don’t want to dress in fashionable and flattering designs that are feminine and comfortable.

This snappy, envelope style oversized wallet is new from Ted Baker, which continues to get the balance between feminine and fashion forward just about spot-on. The ‘Beryl’, which is also available in a summery orangeade shade with peach, has a wealth of handy compartments to keep your cards and other essentials neatly filed and visible, an enamel bow and an all-over perforated pattern on the front flap.

No prizes for guessing why some of these styles are appearing (or reappearing) in prominent positions in stores and online at the moment – but I’ve chosen these particular styles as I think they’d be fun to wear at any time of year.

title pic Louis Vuitton Monogram Artsy Handbags

This Louis Vuitton Artsy Handbag comes from the LV 2010 Spring/Summer Ad Campaign featuring Lara Stone. I’m glad that LV finally gets a younger face and also a hot one with sophisticated charm far away from Mid-aged Madonna, who presented the last spring/summer collection of LV Handbags . With understated elegance, a free spirited sophistication, this hobo-style tote features an exquisite handcrafted leather handle which gives this bag a refined appeal.

I went jogging for two hours yesterday. It started to snow the moment I left the house for the nearby woods. Running deeper and deeper into a white wall, through a true snow flurry, covering me after a while with snow from head to toe, there was peace and tranquility

title pic Northern California Personalized Business Gifts

I lived in Northern California for a short period of my life—by short I mean about half a decade, but there are so many fond memories. Between surfing the hook in Santa Cruz, wine tasting in Napa Valley, and camping in Big Sur, you really can’t ask for more, but Northern California delivers more

Within a single generation, digital media and the World Wide Web have transformed virtually every aspect of modern culture, from the way we learn and work to the ways in which we socialize and even conduct war. But is the technology moving faster than we can adapt to it?

title pic DIY is everything

Here’s a funny thing. Over the past 6 months or so, a subtle DIY element has found it’s way into my wardrobe- to the point where the other night my whole outfit was pimped (or modded, or updated, or remixed). The boots were re-laced, the jeans cropped, the sweater dyed black, the blazer buttons moved about, the bag had a leather wallet and charms attached by me
