Misha Nicole
H and friends attended the launch party for a new retailer opening in NYC - Misha Nicole - that placed an order for carol marie and will be carrying the collection when the store officially opens. The event took place at the exclusive members only club, Norwood, with live music, alcohol and models walking around wearing styles from carol marie and other designers who will be sold at the store. The store has yet to release the exact location for where it will open - stay tuned and we'll keep you posted!

Obsession: Peruvian bags for city streets
There's nothing in the world that excites me more than a classic, rugged, well-made leather bag. There's something so old-school and everlasting about the idea that has me completely obsessed with labels like The Madly. The label comes from designers Jake Quellman and Melanie Dizon (who used to have her own eponymous bag label), and has a strong collection of rugged leather bags, backpacks, totes and briefcases inspired by the duo's strong sense of wanderlust.
For spring 2011, the designers traveled through Peru for inspiration & are coming out with a number of pieces made with a limited-edition fabric called The Nomads, made by cooperatives in the Sacred Valley of Peru. The result is a chic collection of pieces that encompass everything a city girl longing to be hiking through the Andes could ever yearn for.

Fall time in Beantown
Every year, when the air gets crisp, the kids start school & it becomes boot & jacket weather again, I know it means one thing - it's time for my favorite weekend of the year. I love fall & there's no better way to celebrate it than with my annual trip up to Boston to visit close friends & have our traditional apple picking adventure. Apple picking, cider donuts, hay rides, changing leaves, pumpkin patches, apple pie. It doesn't get any better than fall in New England. We topped it off this year with a trip to the most amazing flea market I've ever been to. Antique wooden furniture, pressed glass china, art with old gilded frames and vintage jewelry and clothing better than you could ever find in grandma's closet. I'd make the trip up to Massachusetts just to indulge again. My little secret as to where it is...
