Luxury Items You Don’t Wear

I own a Hermès Constance bag, and I rarely wear it! Not because I regret the purchase, or because it isn’t beautiful. But because ownership and utility aren’t the same thing. And for high-performing professionals, that distinction matters more than most people admit. When something feels too precious, it becomes impractical. And impractical pieces quietly work against a functional wardrobe. This is one of the most common traps I see with clients: luxury items you don’t wear sitting in closets,

So you want those Loubies and you roll into the store to get them and the salesperson looks at you sideways because you pronounced them “loo-bow-ton“?! Yikes!

Bringing Home the Birkin, Michael Tonello A very fun (and informative) read! My poor friend let me borrow this book too….(it hasn’t been returned either – smh).

In the process of being entertained, you’ll get a few key nuances on the “how-to” purchase a Birkin, why they are coveted, what they’ll set you back, and how to “skip the line”

Hermes Glove Clips

How many pairs of gloves do you think you’ve lost across the last 10 years? Or just the last year? I’ve stopped keeping the glove because I never find the mate…. I can say, without reservation, that I’ve gone through at least 15 pairs ranging from cheapies to handmade leather ones. So the idea of of glove clips, not to mention by Hermes, makes me smile. Such a small little novelty [available in 4 varieties: gold plated, permabrass, ruthenium, and

Where Is The Economic Downturn?

If you asked me (which technically you are), I’d say it’s the less fortunate that are feeling more of the bite of the recession. If you walked along Rodeo Drive or Fifth Avenue, you’d swear all was well with the U.S. economy. Now, off of my soap box….. Daily, I comb the internet and magazines, and listen to all kinds of television so I can get the skinny on everything from fashionable tidbits and style trends to financial news (it

It’s My Birthday So It’s About Everything I Love

Technically, my birthday was yesterday but, so what — if you’re in Australia, it’s still my birthday. My item of lust is the ultimate bag – the Hermès Birkin bag.  Yes, in 1984 actress Jane Birkin started sporting one of these bags and the rage was born…and lives on!  This particular bag comes from my favorite pre-owned luxury goods website, Portero and this bag is in excellent condition which means it’s like new!
