Seeing Double With Hermes

Do you ever feel guilty when spending an arm and a leg on one handbag? What if the bag was a classic and offered a 2 in 1 option? The Vintage Hermes Herbag is probably your best bet.

It’s equal parts form and function with the classic “Kelly” shape it will never go out of style. With the interchangeable parts, you can change the look of your bag everyday if you wish. One big price for a bag for life, I get goose bumps just thinking about it, genius.

A Classy iPad Case

I don’t even have an iPad but I want the Dooney and Bourke iPad case. It’s one of the classiest cases I have seen so far. I adore the streamlined look and the light feel. It is made with durable Cabriolet cloth that is stain and fad resistant and the fabric is also waterproof therefore keeping your precious iPad safe.

Each Dooney and Bourke Case measures 11″ x 0.5″ x 9″ and are padded, lined and dressed with a  classy tongue and loop enclosure. It’s simple and virtually maintenance free. Like I said, I don’t own an iPad but for me, it doubles nicely as a clutch.

The D&B case is priced at $65 USD.

Dressing My iPhone

I recently switched to an iPhone and have been on the hunt for a unique cover to protect the new toy. I am not a fan of glossy covers, or bright colors and I sure didn’t want some swirly pattern on it either.

As I casted my eyes along the Apple store wall, I came across the Griffin+Chilewich collection and immediately fell in love. Designer Sandy Chilewich collaborated with Griffin Technology to develop a trademarked basketweave woven textile cover for the iPhone 3G and 3GS. It reminds me so much of linen and the play with texture gives it a luxurious feel. Together, they have seamlessly married function and design.

It’s available exclusively at the Griffin website, the Apple store and the MoMA Design Store. $44.95 CDN ($39.99 USD).

It’s a Man’s World

Androgyny is once again recycling through the fashion world this season, appearing in footwear, apparel and even accessories. Along with stealing your boyfriend’s jeans and button shirts, it’s time to take his wrist watches for a spin around the block.

The over-sized chunky wrist watch is a new kind of fashion statement. Best worn slightly loose so it fits like a bangle and mostly adorned in a gold or silver metal.

I was fortunate enough to hit a sale at the Michael Kors store in Las Vegas and picked up a gold version with a stark black face.

I’m sure my boyfriend will be happy, knowing that I won’t be borrowing his watches anymore.
