PFM Obsession: Rebecca Minkoff Cheetah Tote

there are two things that i can always count on: 1) the weekend will eventually come and 2) there will always be a bag that inspires obsession lol.  that being said, the latest addition to my bag stalker/bag watcher list is the Rebecca Minkoff Cheetah Canvas Tote.  Becca and i were strolling through Nordstroms when we came upon a display with the pink version.  it was love at first sight!  sigh, i love the print combined with the bright pop of colored leather.  it would be the perfect addition to any outfit.  though i am unable to get this in my possession at the moment,  i will definitely keep my eye out for any sales or discounts because the original price point could be made sweet with dividends off! 

Have a great weekend!! xo sesheta

PFM Obsession: J. Crew Love

i have always had a love for J.Crew clothing.  while i am far from the average J.Crew client, they have such great, timeless separates that can be incorporated into any wardrobe! 

they recently sent me their latest "Style Guide" (Becca and i love that name) and it had me drooling all the way through!! it was total eye candy from start to finish.  above are some of my favorite picks from the new season's arrivals:

1. you know how much i love bags! a little purse in this fab color would make the perfect accent for a night out.

2. belts, belts, belts! these simple accents are a great way to add a pop of color, especially neon, to an otherwise drab outfit! the problem is choosing only one!

3. *gasp, i looooooove this skirt!!  mixing sequins with colorblocking - totally hard to go wrong!

4. this is a great blazer - perfect for chilly nights or another layer at work.  i would wear this with a white tee and some printed denim.

5. how exciting that it's the time of year to think about being at the beach!! i adore the color and shape of this maillot but is this a swimsuit or a leotard?!  either way, look fabulous on the beach then throw on some shorts and sandals for dinner with friends!

6. the utility pant is so comfortable and the perfect staple in any wardrobe.  make it hot pink and you've just stepped up the game!

7. i love this pair of bright colored skinnies! i have so many ideas for how to wear these...

8. sigh, yes, another bag, but, it's the color that makes this bag droolable (is that a word?? lol).

9. i've been having so much fun wearing shorts.  paired with tights or leggings or bare-legged, this printed pair would be the starting point for great outfits.

10. this is a super cute maxi skirt.  i would want to add both this pretty deep blue or the turquoise version to my collection.

alas, my list could have gone on forever!! this is just a taste of some of my faves.  Becca and i drool over J. Crew items all the time.  if only we could have them all!! hey, a girl could dream! :)

Have a great holiday weekend!!

PFM Obsession: Rose Gold Love

Becca isn't the only one who found a new bag love!  sooo around every mother's day, i get a fabulous bag that is a thank u to me for working so hard as a mommy club member.  this year, with soooo many bag crushes it was totally hard to decide but when i found this baby (which i had been stalking but couldn't find anywhere), it was an instant gotta-have-it moment!! meet the Rebecca Minkoff Circle Quilt Affair Bag with *gasp* rose gold hardware!! if you've been reading our blog, you will know that i have a current obsession (lol, notice i said current) with rose gold hardware (see here) - especially when paired with black leather!  though, like Becca, i love a bright bag, with this bag, i felt the need to tone down the color but up the ante in edge!!  it fits right in with my new angle on style.  lately i've been describing my outfits as classic edgy and this new mama jama fits right in line!

PFM Obsession: $esheta's Spring Fresh Five - #1 Rose Gold Hardware

...and the #1 spot goes to...drumroll please... rose gold hardware!!! i am officially in lust with  this trend.  rose gold hardware has been showing up on all the accessories and it has truly struck a chord with me.  i love copper and this is a close sister to copper.  all our fave designers are doing combos of leather and/or metal and rose gold.  i truly believe this may be a unique trend that hasn't come back around.  either way i am hooked.  the below sample pics of rose gold accessories are just the tip of the iceberg, but i definitely find myself wanting more... 

Alexander Wang is right on trend and who can resist the Rocco bag?!

soooo cute! this Linea Pelle belt is the perfect finisher for your favorite outfit!

I love these Michael Kors rose gold sneaks!!

Michael Kors got this combo of gray and rose gold  perfect!

hope you enjoyed my Fresh Five.  stay tuned for our Fall/Winter installment featuring hot picks for the season!! xo

PFM Obsession: $esheta's Spring Fresh Five - #2 Anything Cobalt

ooooo... cobalt!! this pretty blue makes everything cool.  anything cobalt lands at my #2 spot and it's easy to see why.  seeing this shade just makes me totally happy.  i sure wish i could intuit some lottery numbers the way i am able to pick up on color trends!! two years ago, i was determined to find some flats in this beautiful shade of blue and it was near impossible.  now my love of cobalt can be satisfied in soooo many ways!  all i can say is aaaahhhhh... :)

this is soo gorg!! leave it to Foley & Corinna to make a beautiful bag!

patent pointy Bre flats from Pour La Victoire

Becca's love affair started with these Gap legging jeans and i was hooked right after!

a bright blue blazer can brighten up any outfit.

PFM Obsession: Bag Watcher or Bag Stalker - Zara Studded Shopper

Zara's Studded Shopper

oooo i just love those gold studs!!

i am such a sucker for butter soft leather and stud detailing on a bag.  it never fails; if i see a bag that meets this criteria, i am instantly all over it.  the Zara Studded Tote is no exception.   i spotted this little number while roaming in the mall and it was love at first site.  i convinced myself that the way i love to pack stuff into my bags would ultimately end badly for this tote.  ... but it is too late - the obsession is now full blown.  what makes it worse is i originally spotted it in this gorg olive-y color in store and was smitten.  when i instantly searched for it online, i see that they also have it in black *gasp* ... a black bag with bright gold studding???!!! oh no, it is going to be hard to keep myself convinced that i don't need this bag in my life!  

PFM Obsession: Cambridge Satchel Company

only $155 at Bloomies!!! 

ooo, neon yellow!

bright orange is so trendy right now!

i think i'm really loving the green!

i am officially a bag watcher  ...or maybe it's stalker lol.  i love people watching but even more fun is bag watching.  being an accessories lover (hence why i create accessories), i am constantly reading the mags for the newest and greatest items.  bags are definitely first on my obsession list and i consider myself a maven on bag spotting while out on the town.  

while attending the Independent Fashion Bloggers (IFB) 2012 conference, i had more bag eye candy than i could process!! mind you, i was supposed to be focusing on how to promote and grow our blog but i can't help but notice a beautiful purse!! which brings me to my latest obsession: the Cambridge Satchel Company, more specifically the fluoro collection.  i saw these bright fluorescent bags - neon yellow and then neon pink- walking around the conference and they immediately caught my eye.  then later as Becca and i shopped for materials, i saw a bag in neon green.  i just knew it had to be the same bag i had seen before.  this time i had to find out the brand name.  after she told me what it was, not even 5 minutes later, i couldn't remember what she had said!  i obviously hadn't learned from my Clio Goldbrenner stalking situation (refresh your memory here).   anyways, as soon as i got to my computer the search was on.  lo and behold, it wasn't hard to find - TGFG (thank god for google lol).   you know my love of neon...  and at a such a reasonable price, i may have to find a way to make one of these babies mine!!  let the stalking begin!

p.s.  bags weren't the only eye candy at the IFB conference!! can't wait to tell you more!
