Marbled

currently loving: peter pan collars and abstract prints
add a punch of color to monochromatic looks. 
these marbled lizard prints from LK Bennett cover all the bases 
with elements of blacks, taupes, blues, and coral tones.
a bit of sparkle from Loren Hope can't hurt either.

Caramel Craze

as we celebrate the last days of summer,
 we welcome cooler weather with open arms!
this fall/winter, try mixing a variety of caramel, brown,
 and camel tones together for a
 warm and intricate blend.

despite what anyone says, cool weather & open toe booties are a DO.
 try the Gigi in black from Loeffler Randall.
it'll be the best fashion risk you'll ever take.

Meet & Greet: Danielle Nicole

one of our absolute favorite bag lines Danielle Nicole,
 is the brain child of designer and philanthropist 
Danielle DiFerdinando.


she got her start and big break interning at Bergdorf Goodman. 
her talent was undeniable and obvious to buyers, 
who asked her to create a line of cosmetic bags for the store.
now the Danielle Nicole line has expanded and can be found at
 specialty retailers around the world. 
the collection attracts a following of fashion trendsetters and celebrity clientele
 in both casual & formal atmospheres.

from street style to red carpet accessories




recently named in Forbes Magazine 30 Under 30 list, 
powerhouse DiFerdinando isn't slowing down anytime soon.
even with her fashionably busy schedule, she takes nothing for granted
 and is the ultimate poster girl for giving back. 
she currently serves on the Board of Associates
 for the Ronald McDonald House New York. 
she also advocates for a number of other charities through 
Danielle Nicole collaborations.



what sets this line apart? 
while she has created leather lines in the past, 
the current trend for Danielle Nicole
 is to use high quality polyurethane to create the
 look, feel, and essence of a leather bag without the price tag.
a majority of her collection retails for under $100!
it's no wonder the brand has become a 'go to' with our vegan clientele!
the line sources the best materials, hardware and finding from across the 
globe to ensure quality without using animal byproducts.
win/win situation




"Danielle Nicole handbags fuse runway inspiration and real life accessibility in a feminine, chic and contemporary way. The brand represents a fresh twist on classic styling and incorporates detailed custom hardware and exclusive materials from all around the world. "

stay tuned for fall/winter styles and the introduction 
of the newest venture from Danielle Nicole-jewelry!
