Hot In The Hive: Purse Flats!

image
Who says you need to sacrifice quality for comfort? Purse Flats are comfy portable shoes that fold up neatly into a cute accompanying clutch to salvage stiletto-sore feet on the dance floor, out on the town, or even during long meetings at work. Since they've been spotted on Mya during her "Dancing With The Stars" rehearsals, you gotta figure they must be pretty comfortable, not to mention sturdy! Sure, they're not as affordable as the vending machine Rollasole version, but a portion of the proceeds is donated to support underprivileged youth! Plus, since I have yet to find a shoe dispenser at any club I've been to, Purse Flats sound like a pretty dependable alternative on the go!


Price: $240, includes purse & flats
Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add Purse Flats to the Hive.

First Look: Carlos Falchi For Target

image
Target is at it again with another one of their amazing designer collaborations. Just in time for the holidays, they've teamed up with acclaimed accessories designer Carlos Falchi for a limited edition handbag collection. The Carlos Falchi for Target collection includes all of the hottest handbag styles- hobos, satchels, shoulder, cross-body, and messenger bags in jewel tones such as plum and teal as well as rich hues such as brown, black and gray. The exotic collection features Falchi's iconic collage techniques and python-inspired solid prints finished with intricate stitch detailing for fashionable styles that are still highly functional.


The line will be available at select Target stores and at Target.com November 1, 2009 through December 27, 2009 and prices range from $19.99 to $49.99- pretty amazing especially compared to the high-end line in which a single piece can cost $4,000!

Saks Fifth Avenue Hosts Contemporary Accessories Breakfast In NYC

image
Bagels and lox might be many people's preferred morning meal but on Thursday, October 15, the menu was bagels and Botkier as Saks Fifth Avenue hosted a special contemporary accessories breakfast for bloggers at their Fifth Avenue flagship store. New pieces from Marc by Marc Jacobs, Chan Luu, Rebecca Minkoff, and Belle by Sigerson Morrison, among others, were just some of the tasty choices on order. Beyond the inspired idea of collectively featuring shoes and handbags to compare and contrast each designer's work, what the event also helped highlight is how very heavily labels are relying on accessories to carry them through a tough fall and winter: the vast majority of the pieces were both well-designed and functional. Take, for example, Kooba: gone are the whimsical, unwieldy shapes of seasons past, and in their place far more structured, wearable silhouettes in subdued yet elegant colors. There were pops of color within the resort pieces, of course (a patent neon orange Rebecca Minkoff was a fave), but even those items retained a classic sensibility that makes it clear this is a time when people are looking for quality investment pieces that will go the distance in their closets. Practical materials such as rubber, thick leather, and viscose abounded yet no one scrimped on style--and everything remained at a reasonable contemporary price point. Take a look at the slideshow for some of the standouts.

Lily Allen Shows Off Chanel's Coco Cocoon Collection

image
For Fall/Winter 2009 Chanel is introducing the new Coco Cocoon Collection, a line of casual handbags and accessories made out of washed lambskin or quilted nylon. The puffy reversible bags reveal the signature quilted Chanel pattern when turned inside out. Combining style with practicality, "Coco Cocoon" handbags smoothly transition from everyday city life to relaxing weekend getaways. The line includes a range of handbags, travel bags and small leathergoods. Lily Allen, portrayed as Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's, is the face of the collection, and I have to say, the ads almost tempt me to splurge on the sleeping bag lookalikes! Don't forget to check out ShopDiary for other news on the season's new releases!

MCM Launches New York Collection At New York Fashion Week

image
It was a glittery scene that only a luxury pairing such as MCM and Saks Fifth Avenue could draw when the iconic leather goods brand launched its New York collection at the upscale retailer's Fifth Avenue flagship store during fashion week. Talk about stars upon stars: I spotted everyone from models (Lydia Hearst) to fashion bigwigs (Fern Mallis) to socialites (Ann Dexter-Jones, otherwise known as mom to Charlotte, Mark, and Samantha Ronson) milling about, not to mention the gorgeous handbags from the collection displayed around the room. MCM, which gained a huge following in the label-loving '80s, has re-branded itself somewhat and evolved from its signature, logo-heavy bags to pieces that are more subtle and focused on craftsmanship rather than flash. And they've succeeded: they're made from the softest, "like buttah" leather that already feels broken-in, coupled with simple, quality stitching and understated hardware. When I wasn't gawking over the bags, I spent time chatting up a few folks, like designer (and Kanye West's former fiancee), Alexis Phifer. She dished that she's actually got a new line coming out in early 2010, this one a bit edgier and with more of a rocker-chic feel to it (and will include denim). No name for the label yet but more news to come towards the new year. Definitely one to look out for -- and you heard it here in the Hive first! Check the slideshow for a few of the party pics!

Spotted In Hawaii: Anteprima Hello Kitty Wirebag

image
While on vacation in Oahu, I spotted this cute Hello Kitty wirebag from the Anteprima store in the Royal Hawaiian Center. It's not my style but being that Anteprima doesn't have stores in mainland USA, I was quite curious about their Wirebag. According to Anteprima, Wirebag is "hand-knitted by skilled craftsman using exclusive wire from Italy" and features a "stretchable and flexible bag shape which can be shaped or resume to original." The Hello Kitty bags are limited edition and exclusive to the Oahu stores and are encrusted with Swarovski crystals. The "Brillante Kitty" Boston wirebag in Nero Opaco (black) is $868 (small) and $2210 (large). The Orogento (gold) bag is $961 (small). Pretty pricey, but a great addition to any couture Kitty collection!
