We can’t lie, we were pretty surprised when we recently stumbled upon one of the new Fall handbags from classicly-known outdoor store L.L. Bean – pretty amazing. After checking out the rest we have to say we’re kind of hooked…supple leathers, rich autumn colors and awesome oversized shapes are totally inspiring us. Ranging from just $40-$275, we are honestly considering picking up a few before others catch on to our new secret! Check out the collection at llbean.com.

We were recently admiring the not-so-simple but still-super-budget DIY necklace Erica of PS I Made This developed to emulate Proenza Schouler’s scroll stunner when we came across another version that knocked our socks off (no offense to the fabulous Erica) on another love of ours, Honestly…WTF. Still not the simplest DIY but we think a bit easier than PSIMT and of course a bold, black, ornate piece that would be right up our alley. Let us know if you give it a shot!

We were so excited to experience the launch of Betsey Johnson’s brand new fragrance, Too Too, today – on her birthday, might we add – with Betsey herself. And we have to say we are head over heels. The intoxicating new scent not only makes us feel fantastic but adds the perfect amount of sass (only BJ could achieve) to our vanities, presented in the most adorable tutu-adorned bottle encapsulated in a glass dome that takes us way back to our twirling ballerina music box days. A big thanks to Ms. Johnson for staying true to everything that made us fall in love with her in the first place, time and time again. Quirky, Flirty, Strikingly Sexy and Perfectly Fabulous.
