Handbag Designer To Watch: A Look At Colombia’s Nancy Gonzales
Feb 25th
I have to admit I never heard of designer Nancy Gonzales until I came across some new purses of hers on a website. Well hello Nancy where have you been all my life! The Columbian designer mostly makes her designs from crocodile and favors bright bold colors and interesting trims. True her bags aren`t as flashy as a LV or Gucci, or as fashion forward as a Wang or Chloe and you probably won`t be seeing them on the arm of young a-list stars, but something has to be said about her superior craftsmanship and unique view on what high-end designer bags should be.

Dear Isabella,
I have been cleaning out my closet in preparation to move and came across this old Michael Kors leather purse in my closet that I bought as a going out bag. I have never worn it even once! I would love to hear your opinion…is it geek or chic? Keep it or sell it?
Thank you,
Rachel

Feb 18th
Hello from New York, home of Fashion Week and all things geek and chic. I`m so enjoying the energy of the city right now! Nothing like good old fashion week to get you out of the house and help you forget about the cold weather. I thought it would be nice to give you all a small taste of what new bags the designers are showing for next Fall. I know this is very early and sometimes stress inducing… I have yet to even consolidate my list of Spring bags to buy. But fashion and accessories are forward moving beasts and we must always be looking ahead.

Full Bloom: Spring 2011 Floral Trend
Feb 14th
Nothing says spring is here better than a great floral print. Lucky for us the spring runways were in full bloom this year. Floral motifs graced bags and shoes and bold floral prints breathed new life into dresses for day and night. Stand out designers on this trend were Marni, Louis Vuitton, and Marc Jacobs. But as always runways are not real life and we need to translate it for our day to day lives. So I thought I should pass on a few tips on how to pull off this trend in a modern and chic way so we can all be beautiful flowers come spring.
