Win a Mulberry Bag!

Alexa bag

 Since Alexa Chung began sporting her own "Alexa" bag, Mulberry's fame has made its way back into the arms of the style mavens like Kate Moss and Sienna Miller. And rightfully so. The line has launched itself back onto the main fashion scene with designs in leopard prints, camel hair, satchel and cross body styles that are all the rage right now. Check out this amazing contest that Mulberry is currently promoting. By simply providing the necessary information (and a few prayers), you will be entered in to win an invite to the Mulberry party for Fashion Week. Party amongst the beautiful and uber-stylish on the rooftop of Soho House New York and dance to the beats of DJ Dan Williams. The best part? You also win your choice of an Alexa or Brynmore bag!

With an array of designs to choose from that also include beautiful footwear and versatile accessories like scarves and jewelry, Mulberry is definitely making its way to the top of my "must-have" lists this Fall!

Jeffrey Campbell

Admittedly, the Jeffrey Campbell Fall 2010 lookbook has been out for a while now. I already picked up a pair of boots from the collection (backordered until October), but it's nice to know I will get a pleasant surprise in the mail soon. I have always been drawn to footwear inspired by clogs - it bodes well for me that this trend is carrying through to the fall months. I love the organic mix of leather and wood. I wish I could have them all. The oxford style platforms with a chunky wood heel and the sherpa lined ankle booties are my favorites.... Check out the some of the fabulous images from the JC lookbook below...

Spring 2010 Rachel Comey

Every time I slip into my Rachel Comey wood wedges, I think of finding them by chance, at Oak in Brooklyn, priced ridiculously low. They are a half size too big, but I deal. They are my favorites. This was a year ago.Her latest collection is just the motivation I needed to diligently start saving for my next favorite pair. A few of my picks below.

I wish...

Loeffler Randall unveiled her lovely shoe line in 2004, then proceeded to melt our hearts with a fabulous handbag line starting in 2006, and then in 2007 a much sought after ready to wear line. How I wish money grew on trees... Or maybe just her shoes...

I want the eggs (i.e. boots) that Golden Goose lays...

I always said I want to own a few chickens, but maybe a few geese are better. These boots from Golden Goose are absolutely beautiful. Worth a pretty penny, these will last a lifetime, and maybe longer. With top secret distressing techniques, these boots are made with the softest Italian leathers and come in three colors: caramel, black, and brown. Lovely. Lovely. Lovely. (sigh)

Elizabeth and James... Footwear

Elizabeth and James is the collaborative design effort from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Style mavens in their own right, their succesful label Elizabeth and James now carries a cutting edge line of footwear. Here are some photos from their new collection. Surprisingly affordable with designs that play on the edge of sophistication and punk. 

Like the Jasmine ankle pump for example. Sort of reminds me of Billy Idol's song "White Wedding". With the pointed toe and the multiple ankle straps, these shoes definitely bring the eighties back. 

Here are some other styles as well.

Camilla Skovgaard

Camilla was born in Copenhagen and began making designer shoes in 2000. She has won numerous awards for her designs, including Young Designer of the Season Award and Innovation in Fashion Award. In my opinion, completely deserving. Her designs are absolutely original.

Marcello Toshi

Behind the beautiful Marcello Toshi label is designer Kerry Clarkson Valdivia. Created in 2005, Valdivia's vision revolves around highlighting and emphasizing the natural arcs and delicacy of the foot. 

These are not just shoes, they are exquisite pieces of personal expression! Unexpected, beautiful, and feminine. 

Lovingly swoon away...
