Skulls on Alexander McQueen’s Winter 2012 Handbag Collection

Alexander McQueen is shipping for free until December 21st. Skulls and punk rock look mixed with soft femininity the winter handbags are to die for!

Pair them with a few other skulls… a ring or earrings from Joanna Laura Constantine’s Gothic Collection (like the earrings below) and you’re all set to rock up your winter look.

I love the skulls, check out a few of my favorite bags from McQueen’s collection below.

 

 

 

 

Furla and Saks Fifth Avenue Presents Femme Fairytales

Last night I attended the unveiling of the Furla and Saks Fifth Avenue Femme Fairytales Handbag Collection hosted by Kelly Rutherford of Gossip Girls!

The candy bags were very whimsical and fabulous.  Rebecca Moses was commissioned to illustrate and create stories of five special women (Femme Fairytales). They represent the story and lives of the women and each one was  quite unique- jewels, studs and even blue ostrich feathers! The bags are actually not that expensive, to my surprise. Most seem to selling for at least under $1000.

I chatted with Vera Wang  (love her work) and showed off one of my favorite bags with Fabio Fusi, Furla’s Creative Director. The president of Furla, Giovanni Furlanetto, was also in attendance representing the company. It was a lovely evening!

Being a classic …

Lets start off with a tribute to the lovely icons of style who have inspired me …
“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.”

— Audrey Hepburn
