Jill Milan has launched a fabulous collection of wallets; just in time for fall! This collection of wallets is made from a luxurious, and sturdy, vegan fabrication called Elitis Microsuede; which mimics suede. Love them!

The wallets are long, continental style wallets which can also double as a slim clutch. The exterior is microsuede and comes in Blue Iris, Berry (my love!), Teal, Orange, and classic Black. The interior is dark grey, microsuede and organic cotton.

Jill Milan’s wallets offer a zipper closure; which is handy and secure when using the wallet as a clutch. It also helps keeps small receipts and coins in their place.

The interior offers several compartments, and plenty of credit card slots. My iPhone fits comfortably inside one of the compartments, as well as a small set of keys.

The fabrication on Jill Milan’s wallets is made in Italy, but the wallets are made right here in the United States. Love that!

I absolutely adore my Jill Milan Wallet in berry. I have had it for a little over one month, and have been using it everyday. It holds my credit cards, with extra slots to spare, and has enough room for my iPhone, cash, coupons, and receipts. I’m in love!

Jill Milan has also launched a collection of coats and jackets made from vegan fabrics for the fall season. I am in love with the pale pink coat! You can view Jill Milan’s outerwear collection online here. The outerwear is available for pre-order until October 1, 2015 at discounted pricing. Prices go up October 2, 2015.

Of course, for fall, Jill Milan also has a fabulous collection of handbags; what the luxury vegan brand is known for.

In addition to new handbags from Jill Milan, her “New Canaan” clutches are on major sale right now. I have one in green and adore it. These prices are amazing, grab one while you still can!

Mansur Gavriel currently holds the coveted crown as the IT handbag designer. With their beautiful bucket bag in high demand(online here), their tote impossible to find, their backpack highly sought after, and their new Lady Bag deemed the next IT bag by fashion insiders everywhere, it is no wonder that every bag they make is difficult to get your hands on; the new cross body bag is no different.

The new cross body bag by Mansur Gavriel is a classic flap closure, “saddle bag,” which is both classic and very of-the-moment. Saddle bags are having their day in the sun for fall 2015, and Mansur Gavriel’s cross body bag is the ideal handbag for the trend. Love that!

Currently priced at $495-$595, Mansur Gavriel’s cross body bag is moderately priced; adding to it’s desirability. Since the style is new for fall 2015 from Mansur Gavriel, this is the time to snap one up before they become unbelievable scarce when word gets out about how fabulous and perfect they are!

I purchased Mansur Gavriel’s new cross body bag in two colors and leather; the flamma coated leather, and the cammello vegetable tanned leather. The bags both feel the same when in use, and are lightweight; even after filled up.

Mansur Gavriel’s cross body bag is easy to carry on a daily basis. The bag is light and fits the essentials; wallet, iPhone, lipstick, and keys. There is also an interior pocket which is great for receipts, notes, or keys. 

The cross body strap is adjustable. This allows you to adjust the bag into the type of handbag you desire. You can keep the strap short, like I do, and wear it as a shoulder bag; even short, I am able to throw it cross body just in case I need to carry something to chase one of my kids! If you adjust the strap and make it longer, it will have a small, messenger bag look. It is just a matter of preference where you want the bag to hit you, and how you plan to use it; cross body or shoulder bag.

The closure on Mansur Gavriel’s cross body bag is very easy to use. They designed a covered, magnetic closure which is luxurious yet simple and sleek. The magnet is strong, allowing you to not have to think about closing the bag; it closes for you! The magnet puts the flap closure in the perfect spot, so you never have to fuss with it. Love that!

Overall, Mansur Gavriel’s cross body bag is fabulous! It is simple and easy to wear on a daily basis. Mansur Gavriel has created a comfortable handbag which is on trend, yet transcends trends; a combination rarely found. How is that for perfection!

I rate Mansur Gavriel’s cross body bag five out of five stars!

The vegetable tanned cross body bag by Mansur Gavriel can be found online here. The coated leather version of Mansur Gavriel’s cross body bag can be found online here. If they are out of stock, you will be able to pre-order for the next season. This is the stress-free way to shop Mansur Gavriel!

Chloe Faye medium review

Pictured: Chloe Faye in medium. Leather and suede combination. Grey.

The Chloe Faye is a beautiful handbag from one of my favorite design houses; Chloe. This chic handbag offers a 1970’s vibe with a flap closure, (often referred to as a Saddle Bag), and two large, interior compartments. There is also a roomy zipper pocket inside. 

I have been eyeing the Chloe Faye since Chloe sent it down the runway a couple of seasons ago. The handbag started to appear on the streets in full force during spring 2015. For fall 2015, the Chloe Faye is flying off of store shelves and seems to be an upcoming IT bag for the season. Love that!

My medium Chloe Faye is extremely easy to wear. The handbag is lightweight, and the interior compartments make it easy to organize my purse essentials. The flap closure offers a strong magnetic snap which is fuss-free. Love that!

There is a lot of versatility in the Chloe Faye! The shoulder strap is detachable, which allows the Chloe Faye to be worn as a large, daytime clutch. The shoulder strap is also adjustable. I prefer to wear the handbag with the strap attached. I also prefer the strap adjusted as short as possible. I like the handbag under my arm; not dangling low. It just feels right.

The Chloe Faye shoulder bag has two sizes which are popular; the small and the medium. I chose the medium size because I like to have room for extra items my kids might ask me to hold; or I may just want to take extra things with me somewhere! I am also eyeing the small size, and may eventually break down and get one. Not that I have a handbag addiction or anything 😉 ha!

The medium Chloe Faye measures in at 10″ X 12.5″ X 1.5″ and the strap offers a 12″ drop. Chloe Faye is made in Italy.

I really enjoy carrying  my medium Chloe Faye. The handbag bag is user-friendly, on trend, and has an IT factor to it. All things I love in a handbag! The 1970’s vibe, and mixed fabrication, make the handbag unique; another feature I am in love with! This is definitely a great handbag to own for now, and many seasons to come!

I rate the medium Chloe Faye in grey, five out of five stars!
