girl power: the Olsen twins

source: via olsenaddicted

The Olsen twins are doing it again,they launched a handbag line for Row at Barneys.This line isn't in stores now,but will be sometime is August.Their luxury handbags line will range from clutches,totes,and shoulder bags in exotic skins and the finest leathers.

Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen also added another business venture... a t-shirt line to the web stylemint.

I love the concept of the web based site.You answer a couple of questions and the twins base 4 designs on your answers(that you can buy).These girls are so innovative when it comes to the fashion world.Who would have thought..... the full house twins would be so successful and still going strong.

Trend Report..Camel

Sex Kitten by myfavoritepieces featuring leather tote bag

If you buy a coat this season make sure it's a camel coat There will be an array of styles this winter from princess cuts, military, double breasted straight cuts, belted styles and capes.This classic timeless staple is making a comeback again, so shop your closet for a camel coat. Lately I've been on the hunt for vintage camel coats for shop My Favorite Pieces. I found a gorgeous vintage camel coat last year, hope I can find a home for it this fall.
 The one thing I like about the color camel is it's versatility, it works well with anything. I love wearing my camel coat accessorized with reds and leopard prints.I pulled together the red and camel combo above,classic with a touch of vintage.The cat glasses and bracelet are both vintage pieces.I really love the red Mulberry handbag, which would be a splurge for me. I'm sure I'll find a similar steal on my thrifty shopping spree instead.

thrifty finds

Bosca leather tote

Francesco Biasia

Here are some of my favorite designer thrifty finds. Thrift stores can be great places to find authentic designer and name brand handbags. If you think thrift stores have nothing but junk, that's not true. I  find so many authentic designer bags in  thrift stores. To find the best , you need to take your time look through every piece , its like a hunt. I always look for bags in excellent condition, because repairs can be quite expensive for designer bags. Sometimes there are designer bags there that are not authentic, so be sure you know how to authenticate a particular bag. There are websites that provide information on how to authenticate designer handbags,from Juicy Couture, Coach, Louis Vuitton,etc.

 All of these lovely bags are available now at shop My Favorite Pieces.

Love of Aigner

 circa 1970

my fave vintage Etienne Aigner picks

.

Recognizable horseshoe logo symbol, classic timeless handbags. Etienne Aigner started in Europe, designing mostly for the elite, then he conquered America, with his signature handbags,known for high quality, modern style, with Italian influences.

I love collecting Etienne Aigner vintage bags, I've found so many different styles of this classic line of handbags, from totes,sling bags, clutches, straw bags, satchels and slouch bags, in blue, black, red burgundy, and burgundy wine.Most of Etienne Aigner handbags are known for their signature color, burgundy. Etienne Aigner bags will last a life time, because most of the vintage bags I've found are all in excellent condition. I love this line, hope to find many more other styles to collect and for the shop.

Denim & Caramels

Marc Jacobs $1,795.00

I'm so in love with this summer seasons brown and caramel tone handbags, from hobos to oversize fringe.This color is the perfect fit for denim.No matter what style you choose, these caramel brown tones stand out. Here are a few of my favorite brown caramel tone designer bags from Neiman Marcus and Nordstroms. These bags are quite pricey, but if the price isn't in your budget, you can find similar pieces at, thrift or vintage shops.

 

Fossil hobo $160

I found the cutest caramel hobo bag at a thrift store recently,in excellent new condition. I carry this bag everywhere, paired with jeans and a cute bohemian top. I have gotten so many compliments on this bag. I wanted to add it to the shop, but I decided to keep it, too cute not to carry.I'm definitely a frugal fashionista, when it comes to trends sometimes.
