COLLECTING SMALL BAGS

COLLECTING SMALL BAGS

Since I’ve edited the contents of what I carry in my bag, I’ve been able to downsize. And, with fewer items to transfer from one bag to another, I’m less reluctant to frequently change styles. This has inspired me to curate a collection of small handbags in a variety of colors and shapes. I’m covering the spectrum – from metallics to brights and pastels. My newest addition is beige. I selected this beautiful chamois hued Bottega Veneta and love how it looks with so many things in my closet. The obvious pairing is white, black, brown and other neutrals but contrasted with a color, it takes on a very modern note. I also think it plays beautifully with other textures, especially raffia.

Other bag picks include a smooth leather clutch from The Row, Nanushka’s vegan leather tote, Khaite’s Remi bag, a double knotted strap bag from Jil Sander, and the Padded Cassette from Bottega Veneta. All linked below.

The raffia woven belt I’m wearing is a find from Mytheresa. I spotted it during my morning browse of new content on Mytheresa. It adds an interesting detail to my summer dresses –  printed and solid. Pairing with raffia shoes completes the look. See my previous post styling the belt with jeans.

If you’ve been a long time reader, you know Mytheresa is one of my favorite shopping sites. Along with great merchandising, the inventory is updated five days a week so there’s always something new. Plus, their customer service, speedy shipping and thoughtful packaging is top notch.

Thank you Mytheresa for supporting A Note on Style through this post.

Gray is taking a back seat this season in my usual Gray is taking a back seat this season in my usual fall round up. Instead, warm, caramel tones have all of my attention. Mixing various hues results in an interesting look that feels more naturally acquired versus overly styled.

The Row silk scarf looks like something you could easily miss, but it’s the perfect finishing touch to so many looks. It truly goes with everything. Toteme’s travel loafers (in any color) is a must for any travel wardrobe. And I don’t know how this zipped cardigan got past me until now. It’s fantastic and in my cart.

My closet is slowly becoming more Khaite-centric w My closet is slowly becoming more Khaite-centric with every new collection. Each season, I’m finding at least a few pieces from Khaite on the very top of must have list. I like how the styles stand out on their own making a modern statement in a subtle way. Adding a Khaite belt, sweater, or pair of jeans nudges a more current feel on my wardrobe without looking fashion obsessed.

Now, it’s time for a bag. The Lilith specifically caught my eye. Understated chic in a quietly sophisticated way. The slim size would make this ideal for travel when something more than an everyday bag is required. The black and cream leather are beautiful, but the latticework of Swarovski crystals is extra special.

One of the loveliest dresses I’ve tried recently One of the loveliest dresses I’ve tried recently. From @lelarose, a designer whose work I love. The detail and intricacies in each flower is beyond. Scroll through for a close up.

I’m wearing the dress with gold and black suede T-strap @chanelofficial sandals. I added a belt for definition at the waist but think a grosgrain or satin ribbon would do the trick. Although I love the idea of pearls on the belt, I’d prefer a non logo with this dress. Link to dress in today’s story.

Since I received this lovely necklace from Devon W Since I received this lovely necklace from Devon Woodhill, I’ve barely taken it off. And according to Melissa Levy, founder and designer of Devon Woodhill Fine Jewelry, that’s exactly how the collection is intended to be worn. Each treasured piece is a timeless memento for daily and occasion wear.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As I said in an earlier post - jewelry, fashion and interior design are opportunities to tell a story, which is why I adore this necklace. The 18k gold Florentine etched circle is elegant in its simplicity and can be personalized with a monogram, more charms, or worn as is. The beauty is in creating a modern heirloom reflecting your story. #bespoke #jewelry

The fabric in the first black dress from a few day The fabric in the first black dress from a few days ago had a tonal metallic thread that provided sparkle in a subtle way. Beading takes it to another level and perhaps too far for my taste. Both of today's black dresses are pretty - one offers coverage and the other is about shape. But, neither will make the final cut. I ventured out and bought them on @therealreal (I have a couple more on their way).

Updating a vignette on an antique wine tasting tab Updating a vignette on an antique wine tasting table from Bruce Graney & Co. via the Ann Dennis Showroom (how I miss that spot!). Newly purchased transferware from a Dallas consignment store with an @astierdevillatte vase and contemporary bowl from @aleph_gallery 🍂

I’m always collecting and repurposing pieces to give them a fresh moment. Brown and white is my current obsession.🍂🤍🍂

Love this @andresotaloraofficial blue and white floral print. Scroll through to see it worn with a sash I added to dress it up. Plus it gives the waistline a little definition and gently breaks up the pattern. Very comfortable and easy to wear. @andresotaloraofficial is a brand very much on my radar. Love the prints and silhouettes 🤍🤍🤍@modaoperandi #dresses #eventdressing
