Would You Wear This?

You know I love Sarah Jessica Parker, so when I say this I mean no disrespect. SJP...what were you thinking here? I feel as though this look has some serious potential...but needs a wide belt, or a cropped jacket...OR SOMETHING! Am I the only one that thinks she looks insanely frumpy here? Come on SJP, pull it together.

Would you wear this look?

Interview with The Blue Stitch

A few days ago I was lucky enough to meet up with Heather Forrey, designer of handbags and totes for The Blue Stitch. We chatted over coffee and tea and talked about her designs...she even showed me some of her sketches. One of the nicest girls I met in a while. She even made a Snapshot Fashion tote specifically for myself and my readers. Let's take a moment and get to know Heather---

Snapshot Fashion: How do you come up with your designs?
Heather: I get inspired by looking at clothing. The way the neck of a sweater lays, or the folds on a dress. I love looking on Pinterest.

Snapshot Fashion: When did you start making bags?
Heather: I've been making bags for about four to five years now. When I started designing bags I used patterns...but not anymore.

Snapshot Fashion: Describe your bags in three words.
Heather: Functional, fun, and exciting. As a busy mom, functionality is key with everything.

Snapshot Fashion: Where do you see yourself professionally in 5 years?

Heather: Making others happy will satisfy me. I've been thinking about making a stylish, yet functional diaper bag line.

**********************************************************************

If you are interested in the Snapshot Fashion tote bag ($40) send Heather an email. If you like the style of the bag, yet the color or print isn't for you...she can make the Snapshot Fashion tote with the color and print of your liking! Please note that even though a specific design is used, because they are all handmade they may differ slightly.

The Blue Stitch

I don't know what the weather is by you...but it is pouring rain here. I swear it has rained Tuesdays/Wednesdays for the last month or so. The wind is so loud it is scaring my pour little dog. And we are suppose to wake up to snow on the ground. Needless to say, my outfit pics had to be taken inside today.

I have to say, I'm BEYOND excited to tell you all about this adorable tote made specifically for Snapshot Fashion by The Blue Stitch. This lilac and black bag has an assymetrical flap, three buttons (on each side), and an adorable vine print. Isn't it too cute? Well, it's your lucky day...The Blue Stitch has made this tote available for all of my readers for only $40! Please note that this tote is handmade so even though they will be the same design, not every bag will look absolutely identical. Be sure to contact The Blue Stitch today to order your tote!!!

The inside of this bag is great. I love it when my bags have one big compartment. There is also a little pocket which is great to put cell phones or lipstick in, and an attached key chain.

I love the buttons! I love black and purple! I love The Blue Stitch!

My husband was cracking me up when he took this last picture. Don't ask...

Stay tuned later this week to read the interview I did recently with Heather Forrey (owner of The Blue Stitch). We met over coffee and tea and talked at length about her inspirations for her bags, she showed me her sketches, and just had a lovely conversation. She was too sweet! Thanks again Heather!!!

I made a little mini shop there with some items...and will be updating and rotating items. Stop on by and check it out!!!

Gift Guide- Accessories

I absolutely love accessories. Adding them to any outfit gives you instant style. They also are a very simple gift when you are in a pinch. I find that these make fantastic gifts for someone you know really well...or someone that you hardly know at all. Here are my favorite accessories to gift---

Hats are a fun way to add some personality to your look. Winter time is always a great time to wear an adorable cloche. This one, available at ModCloth, is my current favorite...probably because it is pink.

Jewelry always makes a great gift. There are some amazing pieces available at t + j Designs. Unique styles at affordable prices...gotta love them!

Gloves are a fantastic item for the holidays...especially if you live where it is cold. You know the recipient will use them...and if they are cute, you know they will love wearing them. Check out these beautiful Leather Cashmere Lined Gloves from Coach. They come in seven different colors (again, I'm partial to pink!) and they are sure to make anyone's holiday a little brighter.

Who doesn't love a great handbag? Matt and Nat has some amazing vegan handbags. I personally love this black vegan Hendrix bag in their collection. Slightly edgy, yet very wearable.

Scarves are a great go to gift when you don't know what to get someone. They can wear it with their coat...or to add some color and texture to their outfit. What I really love is the eternity scarf. This is the "circle scarf" that you simply loop over your head. It's probably one of the easiest scarves to wear because you don't have to worry about how you tie it. I love this Ecote Abstract Open Weave Eternity Scarf available at Urban Outfitters.

What is your favorite accessory to give or get???
