Versatility + Style

We've all been guilty of having one purse that is way too big for us.  I know I have with my Timi & Leslie Diaper Bag (Yes... I said Diaper Bag) a.k.a. "Mary Poppins bag".  It's without question that I'm a full-time lover for oversized purses and satchels of all different structures, but my shoulders are slowly paying for it! Even though my huge Coach bag is filled with every important piece for any occasion, or as I like to call it, my life! It doesn't pay for the chiropractor appointments.  That's exactly why this small packed treat is my new obsession!
The Michael Kors Wallet Clutch for the iPhone. 


The whole fascination happened when my friend came into town from Arizona.  The day unfolded as the usual with fashion catch up, showing off her new engagement ring! and filling in one another with all of the latest exciting news that has touched our lives.

Then it happens... that lovely "Harry Potter" ring tone coming from her iPhone that was beautifully incased with gold leather and a spot on the other side for cards.  It was all pulled together with a golden Michael Kors clasp and removable wristlet.  I immediately ask her about the gorgeous iPhone wallet that caught my eye (without interrupting her conversation of course) and asked all of the purchasing details.

Even though I'm not vegetarian, I have a "Peta Activist" in me when it comes to fashion.  So I ended up going with a knock off version of the iphone wallet.  And I couldn't have been happier.  Not only did I save a few dollars, but I ended up with the perfect package to take with me on quick errands or out on the town.

Now, you don't have to go my route and choose the knock off because the Michael Kors original is to die for! but whichever road you choose, I promise you will not be disappointed.

You can find it at the Apple Store for $79.95 or the knock off version at Amazon.com for around $22.00.  All available in Black, Red, Gold and Python.

With Love-

Bonjour Mon Ami!

Welcome to my blog filled with fashion, shopping and everything in between.
I have had a passion for fashion since before I could say Audrey Hepburn.  But not every toddler can afford expensive kitten heels like Suri Cruise. Yes... I was that child wearing a Minnie Mouse sweatshirt with stir-ups and dirty jelly sandals.  Thank goodness I eventually took control over what I was clothed in, but it didn't happen until I was 12.  

In my tween years I would rummage through my mothers closet (like many other little girls) and found something that changed my world... vintage!  black suede knee high boots and turquoise floral shirts from the 70's.  It was then that I learned that a label is not everything.  Where do you think the designers  inspiration came from?  It's from the game changers, the movers and the shakers and the risk takers.  It's from the generations of women that came out with individual beauty, trendy style and made it their own.  

 Over the years I've developed a type of talent (not to toot my own horn) for finding clothing that has the appearance of designer, but with a lower price tag.  
Through this blog I will share the love I have for clothing and accessories with others and how/where to find pieces in a reasonable price range. 

Fellow fashion lovers all around, do not feel discouraged.  I have just as much respect and love for design as the next person. Which is why I will post my favorite designer pieces while we fade from one season to the next.  In my eyes, no one will ever paint a dancer like Degas, just like no one will ever make the original "Little Black Dress" like Coco Chanel.  There are some things that won't be capable of capturing the same beauty and life as the original.
