As we welcome warm weather with open arms, it quickly comes to a gal’s attention she needs a fresh, new bag to match her upbeat spirit. Now, I love fall and winter but let’s be honest and acknowledge bright colors do not dominate our wardrobe during the chilly months. But with spring begging us to be outside with we cannot help but take a cue from Mother Nature and show off are beautiful hues as well.

And that’s where Berlin Boheme steps in. Their line of bags is, in a word: awesome, striking, awe-inspiring. OK, so that was three words, but I can’t help myself! I have never come across bags such of these; a brilliant mix of European charm and the boldness of the late Alexander McQueen.

The blue clutch feature below is not only electric, but has such intricate detail. This tiny clutch is created with slouchy blue leather embossed ostrich leather at edges and handle. And ladies did I mention handmade by real leather artists. Wouldn’t our friends just swoon with envy with those precious words “slipped” from our mouths? The answer is without a doubt, yes. This clutch like so many of Berlin Boheme’s line is romantic as well as glamorous, but what really makes these bags pop is its subtle hint of edginess. A modern day fashionista can be a rock star and still maintain her feminine side. Don’t just take my word for it visit www.berlinboheme.com to view these treasures. Try and resist falling in love with one, I dare you.

The opening ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics are this Friday! For the next two weeks, people around the world will be glued to their TVs, smart phones and the Internet to see who won each event. The Olympics are not only a time for the world’s top athletes to strut their stuff but also to show off the latest trends. If you are unable to make it to Vancouver, you can still be apart of the Olympic-inspired fashion.

Ralph Lauren is the proud outfitter of the 2010 U.S. Olympic team. The preppy collection features the “Make Your Own” collection.  Select pieces can be personalized with your name or a flag. Trust me; you will want to get in on these beautiful items. www.ralphlauren.com

If you are looking for something warmer and more affordable, then visit Hudson Bay Company and purchase the Torchbearer Adult’s Red Mittens. These mittens will be worn not only by the torchbearers, but the Canadian athletes as well. And in case you have not heard, the groundhog saw its shadow…again and half the country is bracing for possibly the worst snow storm on record. It might be the right time to purchase a nice pair of mittens.

Ah, Valentine’s Day. The cards, the flowers, the chocolates, ahem, the jewelry. A day to see how well your man has paid attention to the “subtle” hints you’ve been dropping for the past several weeks. And gentleman, there are two things to make her smile on Valentine’s Day: your heart and jewelry.

Jewelry by Veronique has cleverly created a way to combine both the heart and the jewelry. Adding to her existing line of precious charms and chunky lockets, the latest Veronique pieces include delightful earrings comprised of mesmerizing, crystal hearts. These stunning earrings with opals and amethysts will have even the biggest Valentine’s Day cynic swooning.

No matter the woman, present her with one of these sparkling pieces and you will have her eating out of the palm of your hand… and potentially out of attending a few family functions. Ah, Valentine’s Day, a win win for everyone.

Spring is on its way (thank goodness). Florals and pastels will soon begin their transition from the runway to the city streets. This season brings out the best in everyone and everything. Cherry blossoms, tulips and the rest of Mother Nature begin to bloom. Women, no matter what the age, look smashing in their new wardrobe. Now, what is the one thing that can put a damper in gal’s day? Yes, a torrential downpour and yes, that pun was intended a sentence ago. No worries though. As we enter this new decade, women are more independent than ever and will certainly not play the role of damsel in distress. A modern day fashionista is always prepared, and will not sacrifice looking marvelous for little bit of rain.

Bella Umbrella designs the positively most wonderful umbrellas! From solids to stripes, these little treasures will not only keep your outfit protected, but also add that last perfect touch to the ensemble. Made from soft and supple waterproof polyester Pongee fabric, these umbrellas are sure to attract praise from every angle. As long as a girl has one of these in hand, a little rain on her parade will not stop her from being classy and fabulous.

Well, it’s Monday morning, you hop out of the shower, head over to your closet and cannot help but yawn at your same ole, same ole work clothes. No worries, I have discovered a fabulous line of skirts that will put a pep in your step.

Two things we know: pencil skirts are sexy and feminine, pin stripe pants are figure flattering and professional. Put these two classic styles together and you have a fresh, fun and fashionable look perfect for today’s career woman.  Who creates this masterpiece I speak of?

Her name is Eva Franco and she has reinvented these iconic styles. Her skirts are girly and fun but still maintain a high level of professionalism. A gal can look smashing in one of her skirts, but still demand respect in a board meeting. Perfectly suitable for all four seasons; these skirts can be found at Anthropologie stores and at Eva Franco.

Coco Channel once said, “a woman must be two things: classy and fabulous,” and I believe Eva’s skirts have accomplished both.

I attended a recent holiday party and eyed a woman wearing the cutest necklace I had seen in a very long time. After introducing myself, I quickly complemented her adorable accessory and demanded to know the designer.

“Old Soul, New Heart!” the woman exclaimed. “They have the cutest stuff online.”

Well, the next morning I searched for this site and agree 110 percent with my fashionable, new friend. Old Soul, New Heart accessories are about as delightful and charming as you can get.

This mom and daughter duo founded Old Soul, New Heart with the goal of making you the envy of the party. They trot the globe scavenging shops, markets and boutiques for ruffles, chains, sparkles and bows.

Each accessory is carefully hand crafted and reasonably priced. YES! With tons of styles to choose from, these accessories guarantee a gal a day filled with fun and admirers.

What is one law that has been proven by women all over the world since the dawn of man? Yes, you are correct, our closet always has room for one more gorgeous pair of shoes. And what I am recommending to Oligoville’s fashionistas this holiday season? Miz Mooz’s new Carlito cowboy boots. Ring in the New Year with these fabulous treasures. These ankle-high boots are made with intoxicating leather and come in beige, blue, red, mustard, green and orange.

These stunners can be bought at Nordstrom and Anthropologie for under $140. Fashionable and affordable? What more could a gal want? Put your best foot forward this season with Miz Mooz’s cowboy boots.

Gold was discovered by man thousands of years ago, and women discovered how to turn gold into jewelry the next day. OK, I probably should double check that statement, but, hey, I think we can all agree that gold (real or not) has been adored and worn by fashionistas everywhere for many many years. And gold is one precious item that will never go out of style.

Emily Elizabeth Jewelry has taken a modern twist on hair accessories. Providing women with a variety of choices, Emily Elizabeth’s hair accessories are fresh, fun, fashionable, and plated in gold. These headbands and hair ties can be worn every season and promise to be that perfect final touch to your outfit. Emily purposefully designs and prices her jewelry so that women can afford to wear something special and feel beautiful everyday. Aww, a girl after my heart.

Ladies, I guarantee buyer’s remorse will not hit you after purchasing one of these accessories. May I also suggest these would make excellent gifts for friends and family?

What is the one thing we can count on in December? No, I’m not talking about Santa coming down the chimney with George Clooney. I wish. How about numerous holiday parties? Yep, no matter if it’s your boyfriend’s company’s Christmas party, Aunt Gertrude’s dessert making party or just attending events around town, a gal needs plenty of daring accessories to complete her smashing look.

 What am I offering our fabulous readers, you wonder? Owlita Feather Earrings. Bold. Daring. Eye-catching. These are the words I choose to describe these magnificent earrings. I mean just look at them! What attracts me to the Owlita collection is how they can be worn by any woman no matter her skin tone, hair color, eye color, height, weight etc. And if you do not have time to rifle through you closet, they can be paired with a solid color tank and a pair of jeans. The look is stylish and oh so easy to do.

 So ladies, I sincerely hope this helps you in the hunt for the perfect holiday accessories. Hey, let’s face it. It’s tough looking awesome at every event this winter season, but something tells me we’ll manage just fine.

Too early to be making your Christmas list? Possibly, but after you glance at this stunning jewelry, you might start writing it on the closest post-it within grasp. Jennifer Meyer designs luxurious pieces that every woman regardless her age needs. She began designing jewelry when stopping her hopeless search for a leaf charm for her necklace and deciding to create her own instead.

Jennifer’s jewelry gained national prominence when her trademark leaf-shaped 18-karat gold charm, which to her represents “turn[ing] over a new leaf,” was worn by Jennifer Aniston in the Break Up. Now, Jennifer’s lines of rings, charms pendants and necklaces can be found in Barney’s New York and various boutiques throughout the country.

What caught my eye about this jewelry was its fun, flirtatious attitude. This line dares to be different, but still maintains that crucial aspect of class. The diamond-embedded wishbone necklace and the Buddha pendant are just two of many pieces in Jennifer’s line that are eye catching and delightful. Perfect for any occasion and with the words “stylish” and “gorgeous” being chosen to describe them, how could anyone not want to be the owner of Jennifer Meyer’s Jewelry?

So Santa, baby, hurry down my chimney tonight, oh and don’t forget the four-leaf clover gold necklace. Cheers!
