five fashion rules worth breaking

Friday, April 1st, 2011

We’ve all heard, “Don’t wear white after labor day.” But here are a few other other fashion myths that deserve to be broken:

  1. Never mix prints.
  2. Take one accessory off before leaving the house.
  3. Don’t wear horizontal stripes.
  4. Your bag and shoes should match.
  5. Tweed should only be worn in winter.

I’ve assembled a collection of some of my favorite ways to break the rules:

 

Lightweight and breathable, tweed is the perfect fabric for spring.  And to entice you to try out this classic material that you can dress up or down, I’m offering 20% off all Tweed Bags on my website thru April 30.

 

What are your favorite fashion ‘rules’ to break?  I’d love to hear them in your comments below.

This fall, I am doing things a little differently. . and I am so excited to tell you about it!   Starting in September, I will introduce a small collection of new bags each month.  Here’s a sneak preview of a collection of tweed bags I created for Presents of Mind in Portland, OR.

So  start making your wish list for an array of new bags coming VERY soon to my website or a store near you!  tweed handbags in black, brown, tidepool, blue and red

Over the years, I’ve had requests for a smaller version of my  Soiree Messenger with peeking pleats, but  this is the first time I have offered an entire collection on my site.  It seems like everyone is asking, and since I’ve found beautiful new materials to work with. . . . .

I have given in to your demands!

This new smaller version of the Soiree is the perfect size for everyday. 12″ high by 10″ wide and 3″ deep (inner dimensions 8 x 10)

I have just added this new bag in limited quantities on my website. I’d love any feedback, suggestions, you can send my way. (Like, should I name it something a little more original than “Mini-Soiree”?) You can also offer your suggestions on my facebook page, if you prefer!

Update:  I think the winner so far is Anne-Marie, who suggested “Matinee”….has a good ring to it, right?

Just thought I’d tease you with a peek at what I’ve been up to in my studio.  I am  *this close*  to completing a new collection of bags with lots of new materials.  Early next week I’ll post photos on my facebook page, so  you can post suggestions  to name the new designs AND enter to win a free bag! Be the first to be in the know – Are you a fan yet?
