back in new york

so after some down time in florida we're back hard at work at f&m......for some reason i get a little uneasy when i go away, probably because everything is so "easy" when you leave new york.....apartments are bigger and better, food is cheaper,  people are friendlier, and the list goes on......i think the reason i like nyc is because everything is a challenge here.....and for someone like me who has not really struggled that much to accomplish things that i want (well, sports were an unfortunate exception) NYC has been good for me.......if you don't want to work and push yourself here, you will drown.....NYC pushes you out of your comfort zone on a daily basis.....it makes you try harder and stay on your toes because if you don't someone will run right over you......some people say, why bother? why make it so hard on yourself? why struggle?  and i say, "why not"?  no one really appreciates anything they don't have to work hard for and i'm no exception to that rule -- needless to say, there's no place like home.

sneak peak at spring

some new styles for our spring retail collection.  these bags look soooooooooo good in person!

F&M in BagTrends & ZinK

Zink_2 December_bag_trends

A couple months ago I met with Pamela Pekerman (a fellow entrepreneur) of Bag Trends on online magazine and trend source.  She put together this great piece about US!  I also spoke to another writer around the same time for a piece in ZINK magazine, which also looks amazing -- many thanx to Marie, Jinal, and Pamela.

happy birthday jojo

Jojo Last night, Ma attended a Sweet16 birthday party for JoJo at Caravan.  We gave her an adorable pink Hazel Purse and she designed her own bag, choosing from prints that we created especially for her.  More photos to follow.  She was gracious, beatiful and sweet!

great gift idea for MAC users

Picture_20_1 i love my MAC for so many reasons.....one of them is iPhoto where you can easily create these amazing little photo albums and in all shapes and sizes.....great last minute gift idea but you must order by December 14th!

let's get dressed up!

Holiday

This time of year is my favorite because I love to dress up and feel like there are so little occasions to do so.....these are a few of my favorite options.....I like to wear thick black tights with all of these, it's comfy, looks spot-on and keeps you warm.

option 1:Jay Godfrey Stretch Silk One-Shoulder Dress with Jeffrey Campbell Gold Tie low heels and F&M leopard print clutch.
option 2: Dallin Chase Glitter Swing Dress with these fab Patent Ballet Flats from my favorite, French Sole, and Heather Palmeri Bird Print clutch.
option 3: Mint Brocade Mini Dress , Steve Madden satin flats and F&M peacock print.

Not only do these outfits look adorable and sexy, but flats are so comfy to dance the night away!
