The gorgeous bags of Luxe Peddler NYC.

I recently was in a local shop and stumbled upon a trunk show of the most beautiful bags. The company is called Luxe Peddler and they have the most fabulous assortment of perfectly curated bags and clutches made by global artisans Luxe Peddler celebrates the magic of discovering artisanal and unique accent pieces from around the world. Thoughtfully curated by a global nomad, the collection features items of exquisite craftsmanship that blend modern aesthetics with traditional artistry. The Luxe Peddler will be bringing all of their bags this weekend to The Westchester on Thursday, May 6th through May 8th near the Coach and Michael Kors stores.

Time To Get In Shape

One of my favorite Shapewear companies has a fabulous website. Now is the perfect time to “get in shape”.  Lover-beauty is a company devoted to helping us women find ways to love our bodies and rediscover our inner beauty!!! Their body shaping garments improve posture, boost confidence, and highlight a more contoured shape and sleek physique.

One of my favorite products is the waist trainer. It comes in a variety of different styles and sizes allowing you to look chic, remain comfortable, and achieve the slimming result you want. From petite to plus size all ranges of size and shape are covered. 

They also have a product called the body shaper for weight loss called the Neoprene Waist Trainer.  This is a unique weight-loss tool. It helps to enhance your workout. This garment is so comfortable you can wear it all day and night long. After a short period of time, you will see results in the reduction of your thigh area and notice a lift of your butt. This Neoprene Waist Trainer has so many special features to make it functional and also comfortable. The closure is adjustable in the front and also on the shoulders for the most comfort while wearing and it has a special design that will also not ride up when wearing.


But my favorite item is the cami tank.  It is a full seamless back shaper with compression.  Here are the features: Comfortable fabric with enough shaping effect lets you wear all day Open chest area enhances your bustline and you can wear your own bra; A double-layered contour panel brings a targeted tummy control effect and streamlines waist curves; Full back coverage smoothes back bulges and improves postures Seamless design with fine stitches stays invisible under clothes and reduces chafing.

All garments are made from the highest quality materials. Each product is comfortable, lightweight, and stretchy. Every piece flows effortlessly while maintaining its unique form and fits perfectly under any outfit, especially the waist trainer wholesale, from the formal of dresses to broken-in jeans.

Most Lover-Beauty clients first buy their first piece for a special occasion but end up wearing them all day every day, especially the neoprene waist trainer!

Charms are all the rage right now. They are shown everywhere layered on long chains, chokers and everything in between. I love these charms. They are so simple yet the gemstones really bring them to the next level of gorgeous.

I love Statement rings, these are all so chic from the single diamond designs to the fabulous Moonstone.

Screen Shot 2021 04 29 at 2.02.15 PM

I also love the new “stack’ look with the layering of more dainty chains. The gemstone and diamond bracelets really pop. The bracelet with the single diamond is my go-to Graduation gift.

Screen Shot 2021 04 30 at 7.16.13 AM

These 2 bangles are honestly my favorite. I would love a stack of them!!! This is what I would choose for me.

How gorgeous are these layered necklaces? I love the way they look together…So incredible

These Spinelli Kilcolin rings have been on my wish list forever and Vincent’s honestly has the best selection. They are always sold out EVERYWHERE. I love the mixed metals, and of course the ones with the diamonds.

WOW!! These chunkier layered necklace really take this look to the next level. I love the mixing of the different link widths on each chain.

Screen Shot 2021 04 30 at 7.16.36 AM

More really pretty charms…it’s so hard to choose but any would make a statement charm necklace!

Screen Shot 2021 04 30 at 7.18.52 AM

Paperclip chains have been the “must-have” jewelry accessory for the past year. These look so incredible layered but even a single strand makes such a great statement!!

Screen Shot 2021 04 30 at 7.17.30 AM

Another of my favorites!!! These circle earrings with diamonds are show stoppers. These will be a go to in your jewelry wardrobe for years to come!!

Fashion..Have We Missed You!!!!

I love fashion…I know SHOCKER!!!! I arrange most things in my closet by outfit, so I am always ready for whatever comes my way…..Sadly the past 14 months have really put a damper on getting dressed up and going out. The pandemic cut short many celebrations last year, a year when me and all of my good friends were turning 50. Trips and gatherings were canceled, get-togethers canceled, outings canceled. I know you get my point because we are all in the same boat. The other day, my Vogue magazine came and on the cover, it said, “Fashion We Have Miss You”. I kept that magazine in my kitchen and stared at that cover for a week..Of course, there are so many more important things to focus on in today’s world than Fashion but you know what, we really did miss it. And we really do need it. We need to get dressed. When you look good you feel good and that is not happening in loungewear and pajamas. During this pandemic I promised myself when we did get out of this, I was always going to be overdressed from here on in. We maybe not over-dressed but definitely dressed up….speaking of dresses, it’s been so long that I featured dresses, going out dresses, seeing people dresses. So I am going to start today. A couple of years ago, I stumbled upon the brand English Factory. I loved all the styles and found them to be really well priced. Somewhere between Zara and Veronica Beard!!!!! Sweet Dabney Lee here on Purchase St carries a lot of English Factory so check her assortment first but here are some great options that I found while partnering with Shop Bop.

Though not a dress, this top is perfection…I love it with black pants and sandals or white jeans and cute espadrilles.

IMG 7661

This is really the perfect summer dress….the belted style is really flattering…and the print subtle.

IMG 7669

My daughters usually do not choose long dresses but both fell in love with this..I really love it too.

IMG 7668

This might be my favorite one. I love the color and I can see this with a really pretty statement earring and delicate flat.

IMG 7665

This is probably the dress you will end up wearing all summer..it can be dressed down for day and dressed up for night by just changing your jewelry and shoes…perfect wardrobe staple!

IMG 7664

There is something about yellow this season..I am really dying for a yellow dress..

IMG 7663

I bought this dress last year from Dabney. It is so cute..I wore it everywhere..over a bathing suit, to picnics with friends, to even once on a boat for an evening cruise!!

IMG 7666

This dress might be the alternative to the black dress above. If you want a lighter look..this is it.

Time To Visit Taaru Majeure

I know I keep talking about this great shop in Larchmont, Taaru Majeure but it because I keep going back to check out all of the new wonderful things they add each week. The store has the most beautiful dresses and now cover-ups for the summer. I am so in love with every single one. It’s so hard to leave without something and I love trying every piece on. I went back last weekend to the shop on Larchmont Ave, just to look around again….You have see some of my favorite things:

OK this clutch is literally drop dead..this photo does not do it justice. It is the most incredible piece in person!!!

IMG 7657

I love how they layer these beaded necklaces. When I was there they were flying out of the shop.

IMG 7408

I cannot forget all of the awesome home accessories. The rugs are soo cool and I really need that grateful sign..I just love it…

IMG 7409

Onto the cover-ups. I wish I had one of these a few week’s ago for my trip. They are so pretty. The scalloped neck and sleeves are perfection. There is also an rainbow of colors…I cannot decide which I would love more for summer!!

IMG 7414

Ok, now this dress is perfection. I love the blue and that bag!!!…I am all about mixing prints, especially if one is leopard!!!!

IMG 7410

These are their picnic baskets for the summer…..The shape is so great…I cannot wait to take one with me to the beach…hmmmm also hard to choose a color..

IMG 7418

There is a large selection of woven beach bags. These would make such great gifts for all my spring/summer bestie’s birthdays!!!

IMG 7419

Another cover-up…and more bags….Again, it is so hard to decide which is my favorite…everything looks so tempting!!!
