Trina Turk has become one of my favorite designers for obvious reasons.  She has mastered the use of bold colors and prints without it ever looking overdone.  While shopping at Bloomingdale’s, I discovered the Trina Turk Chevron Print Essential Tote, and have added it to my fall wish list.  Made of coated canvas with leather trim, it has interior zip pocket, cell phone and additional pockets.  Price:  $198.00 at Bloomingdale’s.

Longchamp is offering you the chance to customize your very own Le Cabas and Le Plias bags! It only takes 4 easy steps. First choose your model – a clutch, or a small, medium or large bag. Next, pick the handles – short or long. Deciding what color leather and lining to use is the fun part – there are 10 colors and 10 prints for the lining. The final step is to personalize your bag with initials. The leather will be perforated on the front of the bag so that the lining will be seen. The price varies according to the model of the bag. Visit Longchamp.com to get started!

There’s something special about creating fashion for a cause. I love the concept of shopping and contributing to a charitable organization. GLAMOUR’s Fashion Gives Back project does exactly that. They have collaborated with six incredibly talented designers – Jason Wu, Brian Reyes, Abigal Lorick, Bensoni, Alejandro Ingelmo, and Pamela Love to create a fabulous tote bag. Best of all, 100% of the proceeds will go to Dress for Success, a charity that helps out-of-work women get a jump start on their career.

I love Envirosax’s new collection, La Boheme! La Boheme (pronounced La-Bo-Em), named after the opera composed by Giacomo Puccini, has been inspired by a fusion of the romanticism of Bohemia and the ideals of the Art Nouveau movement. The Bohemian period was renowned for its counter culture appeal representing artists, writers, musicians and actors and their free, experimental and unconventional lifestyles. It was a time of great creativity and a chance to explore ideas outside societal limitations.

“I love the ideals of Bohemia,” says founder of Envirosax Belinda David- Tooze, “this new line is an expression of my artistic freedom. I hope it encourages everyone to explore their passions whether it be in fashion, art, culture or environmental issues and sometimes think outside the box.” The La Boheme range is now available at Envirosax.com
