What is new at Coach?

Well, there is Coach and then there is 

Coach Exceptional!  

This exceptional bag is exquisite!

Coach Western Rivet Rogue Bag...

     Over the weekend I was out and about with my daughter-in-law Kate, shopping and taking in some of the fall options starting to come into the shops.  We stepped into the Coach store and I was rendered speechless.  Coach's new line is loaded with various options of handbags embellished with pearl cabochons, polished gunmetal rivets and leather flowers fasten with rivets.  My personal favorite is this pebble leather bag with suede lining.

     Temptation oh yes!  This is my number one favorite fall 2016 must have item.  I have to confess if this is all I was to add to my wardrobe this season, it is well worth it.

     Sometimes just one very special addition is all you need to refresh what you already have in your closet.  

     Dreaming of this bag taking up residence in my closet...Yes! 

As ever,

My Flag Bag...

Happy Independence Day!

     So not only do I have a great bag, but I know it is making a difference to all those who gave us all so much.

Happy Fourth of July!

     Wishing you a very safe and happy holiday!

     As boho chic has had a huge resurgence, have fun and invest in a handcrafted bracelet by Rose Gonzales.  I selected a crystal version and I am over the moon with the sparkle each time I look down on my wrist!

Summer Essential...

Looking for a summer essential?  

The answer is a...

Long Floral Flowing Skirt.  

     You might say, a long floral skirt isn't a new idea for summer, but it is an essential.  Take a look at some of my current favorites.

Banana Republic Floral Skirt | Mixed-Media Skirt |
Dolce & Gabbana Skirt | Ralph Lauren Skirt

     I always enjoy a long skirt in the summer.  It is easy, breezy and takes you from day to night in a snap.  Put it together with your favorite t-shirt, denim jacket, embellish sweater, flip flops or a wedge sandal.    

A long floral skirt, it will be your work-horse all summer long.
