Spectacular Chloe Handbags

Parisian fashion house Chloe has been influencing fashion across the world for over 50 years. The exceptional focus on detail and quality continues to set them apart and these bags can do the same for your Fall wardrobe.

This zip-top bag is finished in an extraordinary bordeaux red and features darkened gold hardware to add richness to any look. The front flap opens to reveal a pocket and the bag also has a long strap for wearing over the shoulder or cross-body.

This is a great classic shape from Chloe. It will easily compliment a variety of looks and the shade of tan makes sure you don't have many color conflicts. I like the tassle too - it is done well and serves to enhance the overall look of the bag.

From the color to the shape to the choice of dual tone handles everything about this handbag stands out to me. A nude finish with darker accents, like the metallic hardware and anthracite colored handles, plays very nicely in the color palette for Fall/Winter 2011.

This is the same bag as the red one above but they decided to go with a higher level of contrast in this version. The rich black leather nicely offsets the gold buckles and rings. It also helps to show-off the great stud detailing across the front of the bag.

With those kinds of options you really can't go wrong but I also have other shapes and styles in from Chloe that you will have to stop by to see.

Black-Grey-Red Fall essentials from Stuart Weitzman

I have such an incredible selection of Stuart Weitzman right now so I am going to take a little time to show off some key items. Stuart always considers fashion and function in his work and this season the elements are in perfect harmony for his Fall 2011 collection.

This little bootie provides full coverage and a sleek look without becoming stayed or plain. The platform is rubber and provides an exceptional level of comfort so if you are looking for a new work or travel bootie this is a great option.

This peep toe cage bootie is great for our climate because you can throw it on today without overheating but as soon as the weather takes a more permanent dip you can pair this with tights. It also plays the role of a chunky sandal at a time of year when most sandals are moving out of season.

This pump takes a staple piece in your wardrobe and gives it a great update. Once you get it on you will see that the modern contours in the toe, platform and heel take this shoe up a notch from any classic pump.
The red is gorgeous and is a must have color for the season. Wear it as a neutral and pair it with greys, blacks and browns. No need to match the color.

Sometimes you just need black.

This grey is also an important color for Fall. Grey is a no brainer for wearing with black but when paired with shades of brown (especially camel) the colors of both really pop.

Another easy bootie option. The heel on this shoe is dramatically higher looking but the platform is deep too so you can have all of the drama without all of the discomfort. The elastic around the opening keeps you securely in place and creates a leg-lengthening "V" shape in the front.

Stuart Weitzman does signature stretch boots every season, this is the new one for this season. Practically everyone with calves of every size, skinny or sporty, gets a good fit in this boot. A good fit is key to a dress boot and this one fits the bill.
I love the dark grey.

again, sometime you just need black.

They call this color Scarlet and that name is perfect. The color definitely makes a statement but in the best possible way. This boot, in Fall's key color, is one of the seasons best options.

Pedro Garcia evening 2011

I just received new evening shoes from Italian shoe designer Pedro Garcia. His evening shoes have the same attention to detail as the rest of his collection so you can count on a shoe that will keep you looking and feeling great all night.

This d'orsay is made in black satin and has a crystal bow ornament. It is a perfect compliment to the feminine layers and lengths you are finding throughout this seasons fashions.

A peep toe Mary-Jane is a great option if you aren't the kind of girl that likes to wear bows. Update your wardrobe with this evening shoe and use it to romance the look of your LBD.

KOTUR Handbags for Fall 2011

Kotur is an amazing collection that I have been telling you about for years. These handbags, designed by Fiona Kotur, are inspired by the timeless craftsmanship of traditional eastern textiles. Each bag is meticulously created in Hong Kong and is made to capture the creative nature of its designer.
Below I have pictured an assortment of my brand new collection of Kotur minaudiere bags. The majority of these bags are wrapped in the gorgeous brocade that Kotur bags are known for. I have even more for you to see the next time you visit.
Enjoy!

Must have styles from Gastone Lucioli

We started carrying Gastone Lucioli last season and it was a smash success. These well priced shoes are designed for style and built to wear. Every pair has a strong look and a great feel.

A peep-toe Mary Jane with a deep platform is a great way to turn a classic style into something new. This is a wardrobe must have for any woman that loves to turn heads without sacrificing her comfort or femininity.

I raved about this shoe in black and I am sure you can guess how I feel about the red. I Love it! This fall is romancing with red and you can find it in shades from Cherry to Merlot. Picking up new accessories in the season's "it" color is an easy way to update your look.

This is another example of why we love Gastone Lucioli. If you are already a fan of a black bootie then you must try this one. I love that this shoe is sexy without being overt and it does a great job of playing the line between edgy and extreme.

New Fall arrivals from Tootsies

I just unpacked several new styles from our house brand. Here are some of the Fall goodies that just arrived.
This is a very sleek and very comfortable bootie that anyone could easily work into their wardrobe. I love the addition of elastic detailing to give the silhouette an edgier appeal.

This is another classic style like the one above. This one is simpler and a bit more casual and it is great for giving a polished finish.

I love these wedges. They are a great shoe for women of all ages and you can easily dress them up or down. The wedge is a patent finish with a croc print that adds a lot of interest to the look.

This is the dark brown color option with a tortoise wedge. They are also available in black with a black wedge.

This is a great mid-heel pump for this fall. The throat (opening) of the shoe has elastic for a great fit and the soles are well padded to keep you moving fast all day.
The cream leather and black patent make a great combination...

It also come in black leather with a black patent cap toe...

And in two tone metallic.

New Chloe!

I know it is still hot and the whole country is suffering under heat advisory - but the fashion season is moving on and Fall shoes are starting to show up. I am putting up pictures of three new styles from Chloe that just arrived, maybe they can help us think of cooler days ahead...

This wedge bootie is one of the most distinctive looks in the collection. It is going to be something you will love to wear with pants, leggings, and tights but it is also a look that really works with casual day dresses. The sole is gum rubber and that makes the shoe all the more comfortable.

A classic black boot is a must and Chloe is always a great source for timeless styles. This is a beautiful boot with a rounded toe and a nice mid-heel. Buy this one now and and you will keep it for years to come.

This flat boot in a dark Tmorro colored leather gives a young and slightly rugged appeal to any look. Wear it over jeans or with pants but also with skirts and dresses.
