Kooba Kayla Clutch

The beautiful brainchild of mum-daughter tandem Bonnie & Abbe Held, Kooba always gives what the accessories addict in all of us want: classic styles constructed to have a chic, modern twist.
A fabulous clutch is a must for evening & Kooba’s Kayla certainly makes for the perfect arm candy. The fact that it's made of patent means the clutch is extremely practical: It keeps its shape, it's easy to clean, & it's a great all year-rounder regardless of season/weather.

Juicy Couture 'Kara' Dress Thongs

Juicy Couture founders Pamela Skaist-Levy & Gela Taylor (“The Juicys”, as Vogue Magazine once referred to them) started out designing ‘Travis’ maternity jeans. They then moved on to cutting up Hanes T-shirts to make them more curve-hugging. Next, noting that almost every person would love to be able to step out in their pyjamas, the duo reconfigured the cut & colour of conventional tracksuits (now why didn't we think of that?), giving glamour & presentation to the traditionally drab sportswear garment. The world took immediate notice of their fashionable velour tracksuits. Celebrity customers have certainly helped to boost the brand, enabling it to expand rapidly into footwear & other lines since.

Juicy Couture’s signature details add a little something special to these Kara dress thongs. Perfect for all sorts of juicy occasions!

Kooba Carly Bag


Abbe Held adored classic bags while her mother Bonnie Kooba preferred funky ones. In 1998 they teamed up to create Kooba. Handbag fashionistas immediately picked up on the startling effect from their skilled combination of vintage traditions with city luxury, & what a success the line has become. The best part is, despite always making the seasonal celebrity hit list, Kooba chooses to stay among a group of moderate-luxury brands whose prices remain affordable, even though the materials & craftsmanship rival high profile designers. We’re in absolute love with the Carly because of the rounded hobo shape, all that liquidy leather, the bohemian aesthetics, & the fact that it's roomy without feeling supersized. Too, too gorgeous.
Available in Liquid Black & Liquid Silver, plus other colours, too.
(OFFICIAL RETAIL = US$675 –- CHECK OUT OUR PRICE!)

Happy new murine Year of the Rat

Dear friends (hey, we know it’s mostly just us talking but we may as well be polite),
We know, we know. We've been slacking on the blog. We promise we'll have new posts up by next week. We can do better!

(We also wish for you a 2008 blessed with cheap fuel, splendid sunshine, on-time flights, first-class upgrades, stylish finds, continued health, good food, more stylish finds…)
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

L.A.M.B. Bags and Wallets

Gwen Stefani is sexy, has an amazing career, hot hubby, adorable baby, & can pull of red lipstick. What more could you ask for? How about a successful self-designed fashion line? With their grown-up yet eccentric appearance, Stefani’s L.A.M.B. (inspired by her childhood dog and the vibes she gets from 'love, angel, music, baby') bags & wallets prove a hit with celebs & fashionistas. Even if you're not a 'Gwenabee' (fans who love to imitate Stefani's dressing style), L.A.M.B. bags & wallets will suit you perfectly if your style & personality are what Stefani envisions: vivid & always exciting.

These goodies make welcomed gifts, too.

Please check in from time to time, as new L.A.M.B. bags/wallets are periodically brought in.

oh...DEER Toffee Pumps

Alison Muskat, the designer behind oh…DEER! shoes, is a third-generation of the Deer Stags family business (a New York footwear maker with a reputation for comfort, style & value going back to 1929). Muskat’s creations continue to convey the quality behind the Deer Stags name, while offering a fun, fashion-forward approach to comfort footwear. oh…DEER! quickly became a footwear phenomenon when the very first line sold out just 3 days after hitting the stores in 2006. From requests from ‘Entertainment Tonight’ to blogs by shoe addicts, oh...DEER! is now a hot (yet accessible) ‘shoe-in’!

These Toffee pumps (houndstooth or camouflage) with patent cap have a retro, swinging ’60s design that's been updated by the colour-blocking effect, and made even sexier by the soaring stiletto heel. A confident, glamourous addition to your work or play wardrobe.

J.Lindeberg Arena Shoes

In case you’re wondering, J.Lindeberg is a popular Swedish brand faved by many celebs, politicians and rich men (!). In Stockholm J.L. is like national treasure – practically every other urban hipster there has on some J.L. clothing or article. The brand is said to be the “most provocative golf fashion line”. Yes Golf. An ‘old rich man's sport’ where fashion is hardly a topic of discussion. What’s founder-designer Johan Lindeberg’s inspiration? 20th Century Rock & Roll. Enough said. (…Although, they also make great stuff for women. Plus, Brad Pitt wore black tie, white shirt, shoes and cuff links made by J. Lindeberg to the 63rd Golden Globe Awards last year.)

Patent leather-look high-top shoes, now in store.
