photoshootin'

last night, the new tony chestnut spring/summer 2012 collection was photographed. as usual, my ridiculously talented team of model and photographer made all of my designer dreams come true!

in celebration, i've decided to look back at some of my all-time favorite tony chestnut photoshoot moments... enjoy the trip down memory lane.

heavy load

today's post is about bags.

i reeeeeeally like bags. i like totes, i like purses, i like clutches. i like 'em all. i've put together a little list of some of my favorites.

these southern field industries ones are so very cool looking. a little big saddle-bag-esque.

yes please, hermes.

i love the simplicity and hand-made charm of these totes by for you me and us.

i LOVE this classic bag from cambridge satchel company. (i just received my own navy satchel in the mail, and boy, does it rule.)

for me, a bag has to transcend trends, seasons, and event-appropriateness. but, most importantly... it must make you look great and feel completely functional. i realize that this is a tall order but i will not back down.

friends

make the world go 'round.

a (belated) happy new year!

out with the old, and in with the new.

i think that 2012 will be a very good year, filled with lots of good clothes.
