Forget the Queen, God save Vivienne!

I couldn't wait to post this gorgeous patent bag from Vivienne Westwood.  I've never been one for logo prints but this bag rocks not only for its classic silhouette but its eye catching patent and its fun logo print.

I also, have to admit, that the Westwood logo is one of the best around. I'd wear that pendant around my neck anyday.

Rucksacks are convenient but not always fashionable. In comes Topshop with this great little number that not only has this summer's essential details of tassels and whipstitching but also includes my current favorite detail,  fringe.

With two zip side pockets this is great as an everyday bag or a perfect essential to take to a summer music festival.

If you are a true boho fashionista, Topshop has some great items right up your alley. Check them out at www.Topshop.com

Industrial Artifacts

I love contradictions and stark contrasts. Be it black and white or curvy and straight. But my favorite is vintage modern.  I love bygone eras and futuristic styling but when they come together beautifully, like this leather bag from KM Rii, I'm in heaven.

Japanese designer Lui Onozaki draws on inspiration from historical elements and weaves them into timeless designs that can be just as much today as Mad Maxx.

If you live in the Pasadena area, check them out.  The place has an aesthetic after my own heart from the KM Rii handbag above to Octopus pendants and Steam Punk inspired clothing.  There is also an exhibit of miniature insect dioramas by artist Lisa Wood.
