Hanukkah Goodie Bag: Eight Times the Joy
A goodie bag packed with seven other snob-approved presents? I have a feeling the eight days of lights are going to give Santa a run for his money. Christmas shouldn’t have all the fun – we offer gift ideas for all! Why not give your favorite snob a new tote and all the pack-able accessories [...]
Hermes Club Birkin: Joining the “Club”
When I was in Paris last month I had the pleasure of meeting the Creative Director of Hermes Leather Goods, Couli Jolbert (for an exciting project I am working on with Hermes!). Her job is not only to design innovative new bags and leather goods but to keep the current styles interesting and exciting for [...]
The Five Essentials Featuring Man Repeller:
Photo of Leandra Medine by Aram Bedrossian Blogging has kept me young, or should I say it’s the friends I’ve met through blogging who have done the trick. One of my favorites, Leandra Medine, is perhaps the best-known style blogger of the moment (last week in Manhattan, a woman in her twenties recognized the lovable [...]
The Five Essentials: Featuring Rachel Zoe
Ever since I spotted her carrying carrying vintage Hermès bags with just about everything, Rachel Zoe has been one of my very favorite stylists.

Hermès Spring/Summer 2012 Collection: Less Suits Them Best
My very first Hermès fashion show proved to be the highlight of Paris Fashion Week. Christophe Lemaire’s Zen-like personality was felt even before the show began – champagne was served prior to the show, held at the Jeu de Paume – and it only got more serene from there. Once we were seated, models walked [...]
Hermès Evelyne III GM Bag: Free Agent
I feel like I’m making a confession: it has been three months since my last bag purchase. Even longer if I don’t count sample sales, which I probably shouldn’t. After using the Nancy Gonzalez messenger all summer, I’ve come to the realization that the crossbody style is what my life needs, first and foremost. Most [...]
The Five Essentials Featuring Michael Carl, Fashion Market Director of Vanity Fair

The Five Essentials Featuring Kimberly Whitman
Five years ago, my dear friend Kimberly Schlegel Whitman helped me come up with the idea of the “Five Essential Bags” during lunch at Neiman Marcus (don’t all great things happen there?!).
