What a Waist!

December 31st, 2005

AmyschwabDo you dream in color? Mod paisley prints, bright strips and Tibetan flowers, perhaps? Pleasanton designer Amy Schwab certainly does. Check out her one-of-a-kind fabric belts, a secret among somewhat conservative fashionistas who want to add a splash of style to an otherwise bland jeans-and-a-tee ensemble. Blogger’s fun fact: the colorful waist-cinchers were put inside goodie bags for Academy award nominees of the past, including the super-chic Charlize Theron. Not that she needs any help turning heads!

M Avery’s Sandra Bag

December 30th, 2005

MaveryhandbagOh, Sandra! M.Avery’s “Sandra” handbag is the perfect choice for women without hard edges. Sandra’s soft and slouchy bohemian silhouette is available in a delectable choice of fabric combinations; one customized fabric choice for the body of the bag and another fabric choice for the trim at the top. Sandra’s sensuous soft shape is quietly appealing and elegant in solid shades of blue or solid black with a contrasting print tie, and bohemian and striking when cloaked in “LOOK AT ME” chocolate retro fabric. This ingenious handbag has four belt loops to keep its super-feminine tie in place and customers even get to choose between a bow or belt tie. All of this and more, for under $100!! What are you waiting for? Go get it!

Woodland creature iconography has been all over fashion world lately with owls, rabbits, and deer adorning jewelry, tee shirts, and home accessories. As a take on the popularity of these forest animals, we love the Forest Hobo by Paul Smith. Printed with a serene forest backdrop, the printed canvas hobo has a detachable pocket and contrast pink leather trim. Take it on a true outdoor adventure or any sort of adventure you wish.
