Shop CoachHello!
It’s the weekend, love these short weeks! Coach is one of my favorite brands, an iconic American brand. Coach offers a full range of accessories and gifts – including handbags, small leather goods, shoes, boots, outerwear, watches, travel accessories, scarves, eye-wear, fragrance, and jewelry, for women and men. Coach can be pricey with some handbags and outerwear upwards of $1000, yikes! But, I’ve curated some goodies from the Fall 2014 line, all under $200. My favorite? Oh that’s hard, I like all these goodies, but I do love watches!

Do you have a favorite? Have a wonderful weekend!

Hello,
We’re half way to a 3 day weekend! Popping in today for a quick OOTD inspired by London. Of course you have to snag a t-shirt when you travel. I flipped my photo image to get my “good side” so I included a close up of my tee so you could see the detail on the t-shirt that depicts London’s major attractions. I got this t-shirt at Camden Market, a totally cool, eclectic, goth, vintage, avant-garde, yeah all these adjectives, market in London. If you’ve visited The A, imagine Little Five Points on major steroids! I got a kick out of all the alternative London fashion options at this market and it was huge. Blocks and blocks of market stalls, stores and restaurants.

The bag is a cute backpack I got at TK Maxx, the UK version of TJ Maxx. It’s made by Partridge a European brand that specializes in fine leather. The bags come with a two-year warranty and a key fob and change purse. It was 59 pounds which is about $100 – not too bad. I don’t own a backpack style handbag so I am loving this baby. The London store has the same vibe as my neighborhood store and full of beautiful merchandise. The layout was a little different with the accessories upstairs and clothing on the second lower level. I did not do a ton of shopping in London but I did get a few pieces like these two, that I will cherish!

Is shopping on your travel agenda?

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Quilted Handbags

August 22, 2014 by robincharmagne 6 Comments

Hey pretties,
Happy Friday! What’s up for the weekend folks? I’m taking it easy, still pooped from the trip. Are you feeling like Fall is in the air? I love quilted handbags for the Fall season. The quilted fabric adds texture and interest. Quilting is a tricky process, especially on leather. Once that needle goes in the fabric, the hole is made so the process requires some skill. Of course Chanel makes THE iconic quilted handbag. A quilted handbag is easy to dress up or down, and comes in a variety of styles – shoulder bags, satchels, totes, or even backpacks. This is a handbag trend that is timeless and classic.

Do you own a quilted handbag? Have a lovely weekend!

More Or Less…Carry-on Bag

August 5, 2014 by robincharmagne 16 Comments

More OR Less

Hello,
4 more days until vacation pretties and I’m getting antsy for real. Travel can be a big hassle with bag fees and airport security and all that jazz. But, even with all the extra goings on, you still need a cute carry-on bag for your travel essentials. Of course you can always buy a luggage set with the suitcase and the carry-on, but for me that’s a little too matchy-matchy. If you want something a little more fashionable, try a cute tote bag that can double as your handbag and carry-on. These two totes are pretty close in features and style but boy the price is vastly different. Even though the More is leather, it isn’t worth the $1000+ difference, I’m going with the Less.

Which would you choose for your travel plans?

Beach Bum

Hello,
If it seems like I’m ready for a beach vacay…I am! I posted about a beautiful beach resort and I think that just put me in the mood to get out of town! Fortunately, vacay is only a few weeks away. This dress screams beach, do you see that palm tree print? No frills – just pull it over your head, slip on ya’ flip flops and shades and be a beach bum! A backpack is perfect for the beach, big enough for a water bottle, camera, and a good book, but still super cute. A beach vacation equals fun which equals easy dressing and simple accessories.

The good thing about living in Georgia is the beach isn’t that far away!

Gifts For The Grad Girl

May 30, 2014 by robincharmagne 4 Comments

1- Passport holder
2- Writing pen
3- Black pumps
4- Satchel Handbag
5- Wrist Watch

Hello,
Happy Friday pretties! Over the past few weeks I have loved seeing all the graduates – from pre-k to college. It’s a very exciting time! Today I’ve curated some essentials every girl needs as she enters the work world. Be prepared to hit the road at moment’s notice, get a passport! Keep a nice pen in your bag for jotting down quick notes. A black pump works with dresses and suits in any office setting whether conservative like a bank or more creative like a Marketing firm. A good handbag is essential. I love a satchel – big enough to carry a tablet, your wallet, that good pen, phone and a small cosmetic bag. And yes you can use your smart phone, but a good watch is so much more fashion forward. Grab one with a mixed metal band to go with everything.

Grad Extras

A couple of other goodies for the grad. If your insurance company doesn’t offer roadside assistance, sign up for AAA or some other service. No need to be late for that important meeting. Also, join a professional organization for your chosen profession. So if you’re in HR, join the Society for Human Resource Management. In Project Management? Join the Project Management Institute. Great way to network and stay current on the trends in your field.

I’ve graduated 4 times in my life and each one is a treasured memory. For my grad girls, from a woman I am proud to call my Sorority Sister – Maya Angelou. Your words will never be forgotten, rest in sweet peace!

Have a lovely weekend!

Hello,
Hope your weekend was awesome! On Saturday I caught this new handbag line on HSN.com from Snob Essentials. Snob Essentials is a cool website that curates the latest and greatest in high-end fashion and lifestyle. They’ve extended their brand into a handbag line sold exclusively at HSN. The details of these handbags are interesting – unique textures like embossed croco and lizard, chain straps, and interesting prints in colors perfect for Spring and Summer. Each one of these handbags is under a $100 bucks, a steal!

Do you have a fave? Loving #4 in the unique texture and shape, could be a day or evening bag!

OOTD – #35 Distressed and Faux

May 14, 2014 by robincharmagne 16 Comments

Hello,
Half way to the weekend lovelies! Today I’m rocking the uniform, jeans and a cute top. The laser cut-out on this top caught my eye. Upon a closer look, I realized it was faux leather which means I can wear this in Spring and Summer. It’s on sale right now with an additional 20% off. The jeans are not quite skinnies and not quite boyfriends, but definitely distressed. Love the worn, tattered look and they are super comfy. You could roll them up a bit more for a true boyfriend jeans look. These funky wedges with leather and faux snake-skin detail from Tar-shay(yeah Target) are sky high but feel great. Finished off with some rose gold jewelry and a vintage bag. It’s great to have pieces in your wardrobe that have texture and pattern to add a little extra to a basic outfit.

Are you rocking distressed jeans or faux leather?

Hey!
The weekend weather was beautiful in The A! It only takes a hint of sunshine to bring folks out – everywhere I went had a crowd! Hey, no complaints here, I remember Icepocalypse! And next weekend won’t be any different because it’s Mother’s Day weekend. But before the festivities begin, you gotta pick up some goodies for Mom. I’m huge fan of personalization and Mark and Graham is a super cool site with loads and loads of great gifts ready for that personal touch! The price points for these goodies are $24 to $109, not too shabby.

Loving the handkerchiefs, so ladylike but still very modern! What’s your fave?

Easy Easter Ensemble

Happy Friday,
I know what you’re thinking, jeans on Easter? Well, no I’m guest posting over at Glow Kouture Style and have put together a cute Easter Frock, check it out! But after Easter, you need an easy ensemble to throw on for a relaxing Sunday afternoon with the family or friends. Boyfriend jeans are a good foundation for a casual ensemble. Of course, I am in love with peplum which pairs perfectly with the jeans. Easy accessories – stud earrings, basic bangle, and a crossbody, and you’re ready to hit the park or a movie after Easter dinner.

What Easter clothes are you wearing on Sunday? Dressed up or down?

Have a wonderful Easter Sunday!
