Check out the new Oscar de la Renta website— it not only offers the latest collections from the legendary designer, there are photos of his life from childhood and his years as a young designer. With the recent passing of Yves Saint Laurent, we feel incredibly lucky that we have had not just one but several occasions to meet with Oscar in person and discuss his love of designing beautiful clothes. He is one of the last great designers of a lost era and one we should all cherish. We love the fresh new look of the website– go check it out!! (jump for more photos!)

His new site flows so well! I love all the elements and “the elements.” To say that you have been able to speak with a great like Oscar more than once is something very few in this world can do. You are becoming part of fashion history. I think the internet is revolutionizing the way the information of fashion is transmitted, and you’re right at the forefront of that. Fight on! 🙂
Love it, love it, love it!!!! Other designers should take a leaf out of Mr de la Rentas book a life in pictures and great views of his new and old collections!
When do we get in on your top secret info re the Goya!?
Hope you haven’t forgotten you sharing your bag wardrobe with us before your trips to paris etc!!

PJH- you flatter us. We are merely observers and students of fashion history. 🙂
Lottie- not sure if I will have time, I leave Monday… but I promise I will get it up some time this summer!
Lena- so cute you are proud of your fellow Poles, as you should be, they are gorgeous!
xoxox
P.S.(how do you guys like the auto publish function for comments. No more wait time, it’s instant gratification! Although it also opens us up for spambots and potentially abusive comments- we are going to try it for a month!)
Its pretty cool Tina but not sure I like all the nasty comments,I know Kelly choose to publish them I think she was very brave it shows a great strength of character…but I hated it this is my get away from the real world I get into my little bag bubble and leave all the nasty things behind for a few moments…I do hope the new auto publish isn’t abused!
Have fun in Paris, so jealous of your LV and hermes trips! Enjoy for us all!:)
L.xoxo
I’m with Lottie on this one. I like that the comment goes up instantly, but it’s a little jarring, when we’re talking about bags and the glory of fashion, to run into some rude comments. But, that is the nature of the internet I guess. I had some super-rude comments on my blog recently. I deleted them, but I just said to myself, “Self, when complete strangers feel comfortable enough to take the time to write something judgmental and bad about you, you’ve made it!” Haha.
Self- you are absolutely correct. xoxo
I LOVE LOVE LOVE ODLR!!! Tina, Im SO excited for your tour of LV and HERMES!!! How AMAZING will that be for you?!?! I can not wait to hear all about it!!! and I agree with the other gals about how the comments pop up instantly…I hope it works out well…
This has nothing to do with this print, But watched ET last night and they showed not only Lauren Davis Santo Domingo wearing the Nina Ricci gown SJP wore for her premiere of SATC (as u guys reported) but Lindsey Lohan was photographed in it as well ..They said SJP was told as u guys posted that no one ever wore the gown b4….
Hey Lottie, Its B…Did u get your Berin bags YET!!??!! =)
Not yet….am hoping they arrive by the end of the week, I will let you know as soon as i get them so lookout for my post! = )
Can’t thank you enough for your help….thought I was going to be Berin Bagless!!!!
L.xo
OK L…will be on the look out for your post..
Berin Bagless….Thats funny…lol..
This is awe inspiring. Oscar IS fashion. Love all the pictures, thank you!
I love Oscar! Makes me proud to be from Dominican Republic! 🙂
Sugar and Spice and Whips?
Some girls are into “sugar and spice and everything nice”. Others, however, are into something a bit more different. Some women love leather. Leather has been used for centuries for clothes, tents, and other important articles. It feels lovely and supple, molds to your body beautifully, and when you love leather the smell of new leather can drive you insane with lust. So what kind of purse do you get if you are a woman who loves the dirtier side of life?
When you’re looking at Chanel handbags online and like leather you may look to the Chanel Medium Lambskin twist shoulder bag in black. This beauty of a bag is made of soft lambskin leather. It has a magnetic flap closure and a patch pocket inside allowing you to hold the things you need. There is also a cell phone pocket shoulder strap. What makes this bag perfect for the girl who longs to be a “biker chick” is the leather thongs that hang down from the sides of the bag and the twisted handle. These two features alone make this the perfect bag for any woman who loves leather and hates lace.http://www.ereplicasupplier.com/
The Perfect Little Black Bag

Like everything that is Chanel, this bag comes with an authenticity card and a care booklet so that you can take care of it properly.
