Fab Fete: Anna Sui at Coach

I got invited to the Sportmax and Elle Magazine party in Soho the other night, found myself lusting after clothes I couldn’t afford and with all my willpower, left with nothing but a free Elle Mag.  Across the way was a packed party at Coach filled with fashionable party-go-ers.  Though not a fan of Coach per say, I found myself curiously drawn to the crowd.

A DJ and ornamented owl cookies immediately welcomed me in.

The energy in the room was palpable! 

Having not known what I was walking into I was stunned to see THE ANNA SUI mingling amongst the crowd.  I actually did a double-take before waiting my turn for an introduction and picture.

Two Asian fashionistas from MI..that’s pretty rare!

The above models didn’t look like they were wearing Anna Sui but the Asian one did agree to pose with Anna’s new tote bag, part of a limited-edition collaboration with Coach.

“Coach wanted to revive their [1972] duffle bag and told me to do whatever I wanted,” Sui told ELLE.com. “I mean, what more could you ask for than carte blanche from Coach?!”

So handbag lovers, what do you think of this boho-chic style?  It’s a little vintage.  A little rocker.  And so Anna!  Don’t you think?

FabFinds: Rachel Zoe Wrapping Paper

I don’t know about you but I’m a fan of Rachel Zoe.  Okay some of you might argue that she’s not the brightest bulb but I think she more than makes up for it in fabulousity.  The lady has endless style.  So when I learned that she had created designer wrapping paper just in time for the holidays the Martha Stewart in me wanted to start my holiday gift shopping early just to start wrapping!

I love that the fashionable fabrics from Rachel Zoe’s fashion collection have been converted to glamorous wrapping paper.   Why haven’t other fashion designers thought of this?

Here’s a fun and fabulous DIY tip:  Save all your broken jewelry, belts and charms -they’re future gift wrapping accessories!  The belt that no longer fits or is out of style one season can be re-used as a fashionable gift wrap in place of the traditional ribbon for example and the lonely remaining earring that has lost its pair can be a great add-on to a velvety bow with just a touch of the glue gun!  This year, why not upgrade your gift-giving with unique 3-D presentation that is so pretty it’s as Rachel Zoe might exclaim, “AH-Mazing!”

Perhaps the best part is that proceeds for these fashionable papers go towards Save the Children.  Head on over the One Kings Lane to purchase!
