Alice & Olivia

Fortune Cookie Dress

A chic, head-turning silk look crafted with wide pleating below the waist that adds dimension and drama to the skirt. Princess seaming adds a tailored finish.

Gals have different needs when it comes to travel and I picked out a few of my favs. If you have an unlimited budget and luggage, go for all five!

This Prada navy shoulder bag is my #1 pick for everyday activity. It will be light-weight on the shoulder, zip top, zip pocket, easy to handle. Navy is good if you don’t want to stand out in a crowd, and with Prada, it’s always a winner.

This is definitely more fun for daytime adventures. I like the fuchsia color and Dior logo charm. The wooden-silvertone handles add to the bag’s interest. It appears to have metal feet, which is always a plus for keeping the bag clean. The tote shape is conducive to carrying small trinkets you acquire along your way.

This is all about the look and luxury of Lanvin. This is artwork to me and carrying around your essentials is secondary. Beautiful!

Valentino gives us beautiful bags. This is a good bag for lunch, shopping afterward, a fun evening out. Great color. Will dress up anything you wear.

You need the evening bag that will go anywhere.  This is it in my book!  It works for a nice lunch too. And get this: A detachable chain shoulder strap that you can wear as a necklace!  Your shoulder bag becomes a necklace and clutch!  So clever, Miu Miu!

If I could only take two bags, (it’s tough to choose),  I’d pick the Prada for daytime and casual nights; the Miu Miu for fancy day and night events.

As always, I provide Hyperlinks to take you directly to the site for further inquiry. Left Click on the bag name and drool!  Fun-fun-fun!

Marc Jacobs Side-Ruched Dress

I’m starting to get pumped about the Grammy Awards!  Eight days until I land at LAX!  I’ll need to concentrate on the “wardrobe” and put my outfits together this weekend.  I’ve been mulling it around for a while and I think I have it down.

Here is a great party dress.  Check out the site. Bergdorf Goodman is having a super on-line sale and you may find just what you’re looking for!

These dresses are very different but they all say, “Look at me!”  Love it!  I can see myself wearing any one of these and feeling terrific; feeling good that I’m wearing something so pretty to look at.  They caught my eye and I’m bringing them to you to say this: When you see a dress that you can’t forget and gives you a good feeling, don’t ignore it. You’ll always feel great wearing something you love, and that will reflect in your appearance and attitude.  Strut your stuff, girly-girl!  Go for it!
