The last couple of weeks have been rather hectic. My son started kindergarten (yay!) just as I went through another round of New York Fashion Week, worked on special (and exciting) styling projects with Temperley London and JNBY, hit up Coterie (a huge fashion industry trade show), and tried to squeeze in friends along the way – and I decided to jump-start this blog again. I’m also dying to get married to my boyfriend and have another baby, but that’s a whole different emotional can of worms. But anyway, just wanted to show you just a few of my favorites from Coterie before I forget…

I love Rebecca Minkoff bags (have 2 MABs already) and am especially excited for next season – along with perfect-for-day sequins (shown above), lovely gray and washed black leather handbags, and an entire wardrobe of want-to-wear-24/7 ready-to-wear, Rebecca has introduced a new line of footwear. There is a pair of nude and black perforated leather pumps that I’ll definitely need to add to my already overflowing closet.

And as much as I love Rebecca’s bags, her quality just doesn’t compare to what you’ll get with Ted Rossi (which, at this point, is all produced by hand in New York). I have one of his simple satchels in the softest tie-dyed leather and am dying for one of his new styles complete with the chic-est military detail around (detail shown above).

Another bag favorite? Botkier. Simply adore the Ava in keylime leather. The bag is so comfortable and the color is the best. I have a really big problem with buying practical bags (believe it or not, I actually don’t own a black one) and this bright one seems like the perfect bag for next spring.
