Accessories: The Perfect Black Handbag

I've been on the search for a black leather bag for quite sometime. A black handbag is classic, never goes out of style and can be worn with an endless amount of styles. You can't go wrong...usually. Here are two of my favorite bags Marc by Marc Jacobs and Foley + Corinna. I love the pairing of gold plating with black leather.

Summer Fashion: Beachwear



Roberta Roller Rabbit Kurta $75-$85

Vilebrequin $200-$250

Now that it actually feels like summer in Chicago it's time to start rocking the beach wear. Summer is my favorite season -- with all the bright and colorful wardrobe options available. For women I adore these bathing suits available on www.shopbop.com. I'm loving the M Missoni and Parker bikinis which both have a zigzag print and popping colors. For a super cute beach cover up checkout Roberta Freymann's collection, Roberta Roller Rabbit . The kurta, a simple traditional Indian tunic, is the perfect beach cover-up. The fabulous prints are made by hand block printing in India. Every piece is unique, making it extra special. For men check out Vilebrequin, the definition of luxury men's swimwear. I wish this brand made suits for women. I absolutely love their fun and colorful prints. These trendy swim trunks from Saint-Tropez, take a confident man to wear them. They offer 4 different lengths from the Master (shortest), to the original 70's Mooree, Okoa (longer than the Mooree but shorter than the Ocean) and Ocean (typical boardshort and longest style). VoilĂ  surfs up!

Love, Syd
