CLAREVIVIER

I am always on the hunt for a new bag. My problem is that once I stepped into the world of high-end handbags, it was hard to leave. I cannot afford to get new bags as often as I would like at those prices though. I may have found a solution though. I recently stumbled upon the most gorgeous, supple leather bags and now I am coveting a few of them.

Clare Vivier started her eponymous handbag line purely out of need. She was searching for an attractive laptop bag and out of pure necessity made her own. From there the LA based brand was created. Every handbag is locally made and most of them are still made by Clare herself.

Look at a few of my faves...

A few lovelies to get you through your Tuesday.

Grammy Re-Cap 2010

You obviously cannot re-cap the Grammys without mentioning Lady Gaga.

Dress by Armani Prive

While I can see that Armani would have been involved in the dress, do you think he also sent her the starburst to carry around with her? I wonder what she did with it while she was in her seat?

I was really struck by how many attractive dresses there were this year. Jennifer Nettle from Sugarland looked gorgeous.

Dress by Victoria Beckham

Can you believe this is a Victoria Beckham design? What doesn't she do?

Taylor Swift looked beautiful in navy which seemed to be a BIG trend last night.

Dress by Kaufman Franco

I just wish she had done something different with her hair.

Lea Michele is quickly becoming on of my favorite people.

Dress by Navu Romona

She also was dressed in navy. I thought this dress was very reminiscent of her long black Oscar de la Renta she wore a couple of weeks ago at the Golden Globes.

Fergie went with a bolder blue but still looked G-L-A-M-O-R-OUS.

Dress by Emilio Pucci

Eight Legs Are Better Than One

20,000 Leagues Bracelet available at Anthropologie

For some reason these eight legged creatures have started calling my name! I also adore the name they gave the gorgeous Anthro bracelet. Dreamy.

I have never been much of a pink girl, but this perfectly pale shade that consumes this room is so slight and sumptuous I know I could live here. To see the rest of this room, click here.

Tulle Time

The minute I saw these Victor & Rolf creations on a glamorous little side project, I knew I had to post them too. They are just TOO uh-mazing.

An Apple a Day...

If apple green works the same way, I would gladly have a pop of it in my home!

Lately I have been drawn to these delicate and lacey screens. Not only can they be functional, but they are beautiful pieces on their own. As a wall, a headboard, or even as a piece of art. Besides, how girly would you feel if you had one and actually used it as a changing screen? I would feel like a young Hollywood starlet from the 50's changing behind the screen and tossing my light as air chiffon dress over the top of it.

A Little Metal...

makes me happy.

The juxtaposition of it all makes the metal seem light and never too heavy!

A little velvet and some reflective mirror lights mixed with the metal...gorgeous!
