Prints, Patterns and Fun!

Posted on: May 16th, 2012 by enda b

Make a statement this season and jazz up your wardrobe with some fun prints and patterns.  Whether it’s head to toe or just your shoes, wearing prints will bring your look into one of the hottest trends this season!  Look for colourful florals, geometric patterns and unique stripes and have fun!

 

DKNY Harper Print Shoe - $235

Happy Feet

The quickest way to get on the band wagon is to grab an awesome pair of printed shoes!  One of my favourite printed shoes this season has got to be the  DKNY Harper Printed Pump for $235.  It comes in a super fun hot pink colour scheme and also a toned down nude look.  Just throw on some skinny jeans and a top with some matching hues and you’re good to go!

 

 

DKNY Runway Woven Clutch $318

Ride the Clutch

Take it to the next level and accent your look with this gorgeous clutch featured on the runways of New York.  It’s DKNY’s Runway Geometry Woven Wrap Clutch for $ 318.  Although its not printed, you still get that geometric pattern with the tri-coloured woven leather.  If you really wanna strut your stuff sport it with your hand placed through as shown above.  Pick out a colour from the pattern and match that with a solid top or dress and your set for sunday brunch with the girls.

 

 

Ella Moss Sandstone Stripe Deep V $140

Stripe It Up

This season you’ll see alot of unique striping out there.  Whether its un-even, coming in at every direction or appear soft and handbrushed you can find a stripe that suits you perfectly!  One of the most beautiful stripes I’ve seen so far is Ella Moss’ Sandstone Stripe Deep V top $140.00. The stripes are all different shades of pinks and blues and have that lovely handbrushed look. The diagonals make for a more figure flattering design.   I see this worn with solid white capris, large hooped earrings and flip flops.

 

 

DKNY Silk Floral Dress $375

Flirty Floral

Of course we need a gorgeous floral print in the mix and DKNY’s Lizzy Border Silk Floral Dress for $ 375 fits the bill perfectly.  It works well for a more busty gal who wants to draw some attention towards her other lovely assets;)  What I really like about this dress are the pockets and the drawstring!  They bring are casual feel to an otherwise dressy look.

 

 

Tilo Hand Dyed Ombre Scarve $150

Subtle Accents

If you can’t muster up the courage for full on prints and patterns then look for one of these timeless beauties.  Tilo’s Silky Gauze Ombre Hand Dyed Scarves for $150.  There are a few colour combinations to choose from.  Soft orange or grey tones.  For a little fun go for the Leopard print.  Wear on a breezy day with a light jacket or loosely tie on one of your favourite large bags to refresh your look.

Bountiful Bags!

Posted on: April 21st, 2012 by admin

 

The weather is finally beginning to warm up and I’m inspired to write about something very special and dear to me….BAGS!!! There are so many gorgeous bags to choose from this season at Enda B and lord knows I’d like one of each please :-) But I’ve managed to narrow it down to a good handful for you. I’ve got the perfect bag to suit your every need and more!

Let’s start with a few picks from DKNY. The selection is so wonderfully boundless here there is absolutely no excuse to leave without finding something perfect!

 

 

Polished Corporate

DKNY Double Flap Bag $335

 

My first pick is a perfectly polished and professional bag for all you women out there that mean serious business. However the leather is luxuriously soft and feminine so you still have your balance, phew…. It’s DKNY’s Double Flap Bag for $335. It has 2 internal zippered pockets, a center compartment perfect for an Ipad and 2 more external pockets. I’m petite and just over 5′ and find this works well with my frame although this is as large as I would go. I like it as a handheld only but if you are taller you can use the shoulder strap. Wear it lower by your hip if you are larger up top and vice versa.

 

 

Purely Perfect Everything Bag

DKNY Pure Tote $385

 

This bag has so many uses it’s a must have for this season. It’s DKNY’s Pure Tote for $385. It’s 100% Lamb Nappa Leather and unlined for ultimate softness. Carry it handheld or over the shoulder. It has a detachable strap and one internal zipper. Use it for work, groceries, gym, beach, yoga you name it, this bag holds everything in your world with luxury!

 

 

On Trend Fashionista

DKNY Colour Block Runway Shopper

 

My last pick for DKNY is the Colour Block Runway Shopper for $485. It’s another soft 100% Lamb Nappa Leather beauty. Featured on the runway means it’s LIMITED!! Available in 2 colour combinations this shopper can be worn in 3 ways. Wear it flat or folded by simply adjusting where you clip the straps or carry it as a handheld. Even at 5’2″ I can sport this baby at full length, handheld without it scraping the floor, yay!  Btw keep the strap on and just let it hang when you carry it this way.  It’s how they do it New York;) What I love about this bag is not only is it super cute its also super practical with it’s 2 external and internal zippers, adjustable strap and plenty of room for all my clutter.

 

 

Casual Cutie

Kooba Rose Canvas Drawstring Bag $388

 

This next pick is for all you girly gals that love sparkle and bows. It’s Kooba’s Rose Canvas Drawstring Bag for $388. Featuring gold canvas fabric and leather trimmings you’d be keen to keep this bag by your side all summer long.  I see it with a maxi dress, large summer hat and your cutest little sandals.  I also see it taken as your shopping/errand buddy worn with brightly coloured jeans, a drapy off shoulder top and your largest shades 8-)

 

 

Summer Retro Fun

Orla Kiely Dorothy Shopper $340

 

Alright I wouldn’t feel whole unless I included this next designer in the mix. It’s Orla Kiely and her colourful Dorothy Shopper for $340.  Featuring her staple Square Flower pattern this bag works well to add more definition to a less curvy frame if worn over the shoulder otherwise carry at the elbow or at hand held level.   I can see this worn straight into fall but for now wear this fun retro piece along with a simple shift dress, hair in a high bun and open toe heels for a prim and proper 40′s look.  Or if u can pull off a sweet school girl look go for it.  Silk blouse and cardi, short a-line skirt, laced up shoes with socks and your hair pinned to the side. If you don’t know what I mean just google Orla Kiely and you’ll understand what her look is all about!

 

Day to Night

Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac Crossbody $216

 

My last pick of this lovely bunch is none other than Rebecca Minkoff’s famous Mini Mac Crossbody for only $216.  Featured here in a denim blue this little bag boasts versatility with it’s ease of transition from day to night.  Throw it over almost any daytime look this season and you’ll instantly step up your look.  For evening just simply detach the strap and you got yourself a gorgeous little accessory to house all your valuables.

It was a pleasure sharing my thoughts, tastes and preferences with all you fine ladies.  Now get on over here and find yourself that perfect bag! Happy Bag Hunting!!
