Longchamp 4X4 Leather Hobo

Finally, a Longchamp that makes sense and is good enough to eat! This is totally in keeping with their look but it is actually hip and updated.

KJL Elaborate Enamel Flower Necklace

If it weren’t for the Kenneth Jay Lane counter at the mall in the Plaza Hotel, the space would be a total bust (well KJL and the Demel Cafe…best coffee and petit fours!). Nothing like an afternoon trying on dozens of bold baubles and indulging in some sweets:-) I only wish there were QVC KJL … Continue reading “KJL Elaborate Enamel Flower Necklace”
