2014 Color of the Year: Radiant Orchid

Pantone has announced the color of the year for 2014 - orchid! Purple is one of my least favorite colors, especially the lighter shades. That being said, here are some options to work into your wardrobe for the coming year.

Fall Color Palette

I am loving burgundy and blush for Fall! The colors compliment each other so well; it's the perfect combo for transition into winter.

Concealed Carrie

Since handbags are my obsession, I had to highlight the new line I just found. While I don't own a handgun, my husband does and if I ever had a desire to carry it, I know exactly how I would - with one of these fabulous handbags. The line currently has eight styles, all of which are leather, fashion-forward and completely concealed.

The much anticipated Nordstrom sale opened to all customers this past weekend (card holders were offered an early preview). As usual, there are some fantastic items up for grabs. If you're lucky - you can grab this Michele watch face at an amazing price!!

Style Me Chic: Wallet

Chelsea is looking for a new wallet that is high on fashion, and reasonable on the bank account. I made a limit of $200, because I think a wallet is a bit of an investment piece; if you purchase a nice one, you can use it for years. Her only must was a place to hold receipts and she noted she wasn't afraid of color or pattern.

available in metallic, and I also like this two-tone version

Ever since I saw this tote on Natalie's blog, I couldn't get it out of my head. How perfect is this for a summer tote?! Love!!!

Louis Vuitton: Speedy Retrospective

Last week I had the pleasure of attending the Speedy Retrospective event at Galleria's LV. Beginning with a cocktail dubbed the "Sweet Speedy" the store had been outfitted with all the famous Speedys throughout the years.

Wall of Speedys
My favorite - leopard, of course!
What was most interesting though, was the on-site technician demonstrating the process of assembling the handles. The middle is sewn through a machine, however, the ends are pulled through by hand. Each technician is trained in only one type of strap, so the person working on Speedys would not be the same as those making straps for the Artsys.

Tools and accessories to make the handles
Handles, throughout each process
Perhaps the most enjoyable part of the evening were the photos! Everyone grabbed sunnies, scarves and bags to pose with for a keepsake photo.

LaZette and I, the jetsetters!

Well hello new summer handbag...perhaps I can find you in Italy next month and convince my soon-to-be-hubby that he needs to buy something fabulous for his new wife!

Nordstrom Rack Downtown


Nordstrom Rack in downtown DC opens today, and I got a sneak preview earlier this week! Complete with cocktails, appetizers (including super cute pie-on-a-stick!) and music, it was a great way to preview their amazing deals. If you're a Washingtonian, be sure to check it out at 18th & L.

I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't gotten a new carry on duffel since college, and am still rocking the (seriously ugly) Vera Bradley. While the pattern is much too bold, the size is absolutely perfect. And since this wish has yet to come true, I've decided to tone down my request for a new one. Very much needed for our upcoming wedding and honeymoon!

Style Me Chic: Black Tie Clutch

Jamie will be attending a some black tie events in the coming months and needs a clutch to match; one gown is red and the other is purple. She doesn't have a preference on having one that matches both, or buying two separate ones, but she'd like the budget to stay around $100 for both; slightly higher if it's something she can use more often. I kept the palette neutral, so she had the opportunity to use it for both events.
