The following Wish List accessories emphasize simplicity through elegance and social responsibility. From vegan leather handbags to earrings you can wear any season, this wish list is for those who love minimalist accessories with a stylish streak.

From Matt & Nat’s Pool collection, the Avril handbag is large enough to carry all the accessories you need. The Avril is made entirely out of vegan leather with faux suede lining and antique brass hardware. Stylish but socially responsible, the outer shell of the Avril handbag is produced from 17 recycled bottles. As if wearing a super eco-friendly accessory weren’t satisfying enough, Matt & Nat is also hosting a summer sale on its website. The Avril handbag is presently $138.00, a whopping 50% off from its original price of $275.00.

The Yvette Cut-Out Bootie is the latest by Loeffler Randall, a brand devoted to combining contemporary trends with elegance through minimalist designs. Available in gray and navy, this boot is perfect for the upcoming fall season and features a gold zipper in the rear and a cut-out instep. The Yvette is currently sold at Barneys for $575.00.

These antique brass earrings with white mother of pearl by Giles & Brother are the ideal addition to your jewelry box this season. A shimmering oval-cut pearl is wrapped in a picture-frame web of brass for a chic and timeless look. Simple yet understatedly complex, these earrings are sold at the Giles & Brother online store for $313.00.

I have been a fan of Matt & Nat (a Montreal based company) for a few years now. All of their products are vegan, so you can feel a little better about your purchase.

Jessica Jensen – Fall ‘08

admin — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:25:25 +0000

Jessica Jensen is a fashion director turned designer who debuted her first collection for spring/summer ‘08.

We want every piece in her collection, absolutely beautiful, functional and chic.

The philosophy behind the brand: “I believe in a sensible approach to fashion. I understand that my customers desire practical and uncomplicated designs that are equally luxurious. Furthermore, I know that my customers have a modern day attitude with a value for tradition. I am inspired by the classics, but maintain a fresh perspective in design aesthetic. I highlight basics with carefully selected leathers and an infusion of delicate detailing.”

Jessica Jensen is certainly a rising star and a designer to watch. Here are a few pieces from her fall ‘08 collection.
