3 Bottega Veneta Cruise '10 goes wild!

Ok! Yes I have to admit I am a little infatuated with Bottega Veneta lately...The Cruise Collection for 2010 will be no different. But what is there not to love!? Their bags just make me fall in love..and even more so when they go exotic! The knot clutch it's just a piece of art and for this collection the colors are vibrant and exciting! The knot clutch in lizard will sell for $1,980. I better start saving because it would make my day to be able to carry this baby. ~CB

2 Male fashionistas - your prayers have been answered

As many of my New Yorker friends say: " Comfort and fashion has no sex". For this reason and the love for my male "fashionistas" I decided to include this Bottega Veneta Messenger Bag.

I have definitely found a new sense of respect to the art of Origami. This Tote is to die for!
A piece of Origami art amongst countless repetitions of the classic tote...

I will be passing this one on my will to my future generations.

2 Better Together by Nancy Gonzales

I think Nancy Gonzales is so unique and creative. She keeps surprising us with her originality and elegance. I am never bored with her designes. This "Better Together"  python+ alligator clutch is priced at $2500. We are sure to see it in NYC Fall 09. Very CHIC!!~CB

2 Dreamy Maison by Valentino

I am not a big fan of most of the latests designs by Valentino because many of them seem too elaborate, a little exagerated... and seem to target the older crowd....except for a few designs and the Maison Tote really caught my attention. This comfy, dreamy, fluffy, rich calfskin tote is just stunning. So soft, and the size is just perfect...not too big, yet big enough to fit all the things we "need" to carry. I look at it and I feel I need to touch it!  I love calfskin and this bag has just the amazing soft feel plus the look of young and modern with those studs that give it a pefect touch.  Just dreamy! ~CB

1 Jimmy Choo ...more than shoes!

Oh Jimmy Choo... I am not only obsessed with the shoes, but the bags as well!!! This Riley Bag from the Fall/Winter 09-10 collection is just amazing. It's the perfect bag for daily use!! The leather is so soft, the bag is so roomy and comfortable...A great investment for a great piece! ~CB
