Deborah Barnett Ostrich Three Leg Clutch: Bag or Dinner?
The name of this clutch sounds more like a description of a Chinese delicacy rather than what I’m going to carry my gloss and cell phone in.

Zagliani Python Shoulder Bags: The Hangover
What happened to chic and stately? What happened to a nuanced, sophisticated way with skins? What happened to Zagliani?! The nearly century-old brand has suddenly gone Las Vegas.

According to studies, motorcycle accidents are more dangerous than car accidents which is why it’s highly advised to put on safety gear like this classic motorcycle boot when riding a motorcycle. I love Bruno Cucinelli, but these boots are downright silly. I’m all for a little flair where you least expect it, ankles included, especially … Continue reading “Bruno Cucinelli Feathered Motorcycle Boot: Don’t Ruffle These Feathers”
