Every time there’s a new mural at the corner of Houston and Bowery I always try to shoot it before it changes. This time FAILE took over the space, pretty cool right? Also thanks to Rebecca Minkoff for gifting me the Romeo in Ostrich from her Spring 2012 collection, it will be released soon. Cute!

Coach Spring 2012 Collection Preview

Back in October Coach previewed its Spring 2012 collection at The Archive at The Coach Carriage House. It was pretty awesome to get to check out The Archive Coach collections, there were lots of bags that I’ve never seen before and I really do love all the classic leather bags. For Spring 2012 handbags, accessories and shoes for women they have infused spring colors and has interpreted it with 70 years of leather artistry. Featuring natural vachetta, color-blocked Italian waxed calfskin and other beautifully textured leathers, as well as exceptional limited editions and commemorative anniversary styles, they incorporated classic designs and iconic hardware from the Coach archives while taking a fresh and functional approach to luxury.

Take your pick, there’s always something from everyone in the Coach collections. My faves are always the classics.

Every time I visit LA, I always find time to visit my friends at the H&M Showroom and also to check out the new collections. The LA showroom is pretty amazing, spacious and has an amazing view, I can seriously work out of that location ha! Last month I visited Kendall at the showroom and previewed some new Spring 2012 samples and I’m seriously loving all the sorbet and neon colors, makes me so happy! And of course there’s the basic black and white pieces that I love too. Now I can’t wait till Spring!
