The holiday season is a wonderful time to treat yourself and loved ones to new accessories, be it watches, sunglasses or a cool pair of sunglasses.  My lovely readers, allow me to introduce you to Skagen Designs which is a fabulous accessories company owned by Henrik and Charlotte Jorst.

This year marks their 20th anniversary and …read more

The annual “Runway to Service” auction is a joint event between Mercedes Benz Fashion Week designers and the 9/11 National Day of Service and Remembrance.  Designers donate clothing and accessories right off the runway, which is then auctioned off to raise funds for the victims and family members of 9/11.
So what kind of goodies can you find at the online auction?

With all the gadgets we carry around on a daily basis, from our mobiles to our ipods, we never not know what the time of day is, but watches are always classic accessory pieces.  They can be dressy, casual, glitzy, oversized, brightly coloured and/or sporty but they’re always ‘in’. They also are great gift ideas since you don’t necessarily have to worry about anyone’s size, just their taste and lifestyle.
