Think, Travel, Celebrate, Charm, Decorate, Dress, Live - colorfully

I started designing my handbags in my apartment and I had six samples made in satin-finished nylon. I displayed them at trade shows but they went unnoticed at first.

I believe that accessories should bring color and texture to an every day wardrobe based on each individual's sense of style.

I'm a big list maker. But if I cross off too many tasks and it's hard to see the remaining ones, I have to start a new list.

I'm one of six children. I'd love to sound educated and say I dive into a good book when I'm there, but in truth, I spend time with the kids playing cards, ping-pong, and board games.

I collect books, a lot of books.

A handbag is only one item to be worn with a complete outfit. Add a peony pink leather handbag to a charcoal gray suit, for instance, and the impact is chic with a touch of wit.
