One of my favorite items for the Fall 2009 season is the YSL easy handbag in a printed lizard gray suede. This bag is soft, subtle (read: no screaming logos) and goes with almost everything in my closet. It also has just enough strap to be worn on the shoulder when necessary. I found mine at Elyse Walker in the Pacific Palisades. Elyse also has the teal suede and black patent versions of this classic wardrobe enhancer, but she and I agreed that the gray suede was just my speed.

Just a few weeks after I purchased it, I happened to be perusing a few images from the YSL collection and came across my easy bag in the most brilliant shade of red patent leather. And they had to call it Opium! A stunning, knock-em-dead red called Opium. Oh mon dieu, I’m hooked.

I’m definitely one who believes in moderation, but I have been known to purchase multiples of things that I love – especially if there is a chance I won’t be able to get them again next season. And it is the most remarkable shade of brilliant red. I can think of a million and one ways to wear it; but for now I will continue to admire it from afar. Christmas is just around the corner, after all.
Fall For Nail Color

I realize it’s only August 14th, but boy am I obsessed with some of the rich, luxurious nail colors for Fall. Have you seen Vendetta and Blue Satin from Chanel? The dark-as-night purple and ink navy from the French brand’s Les Noir de Chanel Collection are pure chic in a 0.4 oz. bottle.
I find myself staring at them longingly as I wait for September to appear. I have tried to satisfy my urge by using them on my toes over the past few weeks, but there’s nothing like short, perfectly shaped fingernails stained in these magical shades to signal that Fall is upon us.
Oh well. I don’t know about you, but I’m counting the days. And while you’re trying to find a store that hasn’t already sold out of Chanel’s Vendetta and Blue Satin (you can still find them online at www.chanel.com), you may also want to check out Eiffel For This Color and We’ll Always Have Paris from OPI, and It’s Genius from Essie.
