lunch at the Ivy

I'm heading out west this week so wardrobe is essential....I'm thinking this hot little  Tibi shift dress with a contrasting Pouch would be perfect for a little stargazing at the Ivy and an overpriced salad and sparkling water.....probably head over to Kitson and Lisa Kline for some trendy little tops and new jeans.  Like, later kids.

first production run complete!

our first production run since launching Freddy&Ma has shipped!!!  Every bag that was ordered turned out great and interestingly enough, no two bags were the same.  Our second production run is filling up fast so order soon if you want a bag ASAP.  And if you are cruising around F&M, be sure to check out the prints by our newest designer A16, they look great!

memorial day rooftop party

The official beginning of summer deserves a special outfit that doesn't look too contrived...this outfit will work for a range of holiday events whether you made it out to the beach or you're attending an intimate soiree at a "friend of a friend's" posh downtown loft with roof access.......run down to the new Anthropologie at Rockefeller Center and pick up their "Nectarine Skirt" pair it with this adorable Old Navy blouse, F&M Pouch, comfy Steve Madden wedges and retro Urban shades.  These pieces will work for you all summer long.

engagement party in Philadelphia

There's no telling what the hors d'oeuvres will be like, or what the potential groom's eligible friends are like....you'll make a retro-sexy impression in this fab (but comfy on the train) Yumi Kim dress a sweet F&M purse  and these very SATC (yes, it's still a valid reference!) Betsey Johnson shoes.  Just think how fresh & fab you'll look in a room full of boring black where everyone is carrying their LV pochette as if it were an actual bag.

bags o plenty

as we prepare our press kit all sorts of neat documents are being created showcasing the incredible variety of bags available through Freddy&Ma.  It is crazy to think that this picture shows just 49 versions of the bowler bag; there are a few hundred thousand versions of this bag that can be designed on our site!  And remember, if you ever have trouble deciding on a style, you can always contact us, we are happy to give out our opinions on such things :-)

summer's almost here...

...and you are undoubtably planning that overdue pedicure, mystic tan and juice fast.  To look hot and stay cool in the impending heat try this super comfy  C&C dress paired with simple gold JCrew sandals, a versatile Banana Republic necklace and our roomy f&m hobo in a funky vintage inspired print by Amy Holdsworth.  You'll look effortlessly cute covered in a snuggle-y cardy at the office and extra fetching for that gallery opening after work.

long ride on the Jitney

They call it a weekend getaway, but you know everyone is checking out what you're wearing.  Give them something to talk about in the adorable Paul&Joe Sister dress , F&M Tote with print by Inigo Elizalde and a sweet pair of Flats.  Our tote is roomy enough to hold several bikinis, your IPod, SPF, towel and a tattered copy of Valley of the Dolls.
