Headwear from Nobis: Classy with a Touch of Funk

Sometimes the best way to complete an outfit isn’t with a pair of red high heels but with a hat. Something that speaks style and class with a touch of funk. That’s what you get when you add a Nobis hat to your outfit! No brand makes headgear with as much personality as Nobis!

Please enjoy this silly video starring my daughter and myself as we do a piece from “Go Dog Go“:

I anticipate the Ms. Colette fedora will be a customer favorite this Fall. Get yours now before they are gone, wear with attitude and enjoy for years to come because this classic style is here to stay!

Nan Goldin shoots Erin Wasson for Scanlan & Theodore

“Our designs exist to reflect the integrity of a woman and resonate her unique individualism” says Gary Theodore, one half of the designer duo that makes up Australian (Melbourne) label Scanlan and Theodore, which led the pair to collaborate with model Erin Wasson and counter-culture photographer Nan Goldin f0r the breezy new spring/summer look book.

Goldin, best known for documenting the post-punk new wave music and transgender scene of the 70s and 80s, shot Wasson in a ramshackled mansion in New York State, and the distressed walls and shabby-chic furniture compliments the label’s grunge-glamorous evening wear.

Haute Handbags: It’s All in the Radley for Fall 2010

There is undoubtedly an intimate connection between a girl and her handbag which keeps the industry at a multi-billion a year trade. And for many reasons. For one functionality. Like a security blanket, we carry them day in and day out. They hold our possessions, our wallets, phones, keys and we trust them. Another is quality. We are proud of them, whether its brand status symbol recognition, the craftsmanship of fine detailing, or the luxe treatment of leather.

Haute Living’s Sabrina Chapman with Radley AW 2010 Handbag

I recently was introduced to Radley handbags by my dear friend Michelle Jimanez, a girl who is always on the pulse of trends in NYC. The quality, the fine detailing and the intimate approach of Radley makes it simply the ultimate Haute handbag for fall.

Here’s why… First, Radley handbags are functional with pockets and zippers in all the right places. The pockets are discrete and easy to access. Second, detailing. A handbag should excite you for new reasons daily. The leather of a Radley is ultra soft and feels amazing against bare skin. There is also this little dog theme, not the obnoxious in your face kind, but the sweet one that evokes nostalgic emotions.

Radley reaches the height of a status symbol. Not due to an oversized brand label stuck on second rate design, but because it’s well made, stitched beautifully and the hardware is simply exquisite. And the lining, well it’s like an exciting surprise every time you open your handbag.
