Grandmothers are known for sharing sage advice theyve seen a thing or two, so wed be smart to listen to their wise words! But had it occurred to you to take a cue from Grannys bag style? The answers probably no (unless your grandmother passed on a killer Chanel and Herms collection, and if so, you know how lucky you are). Until now! Bags inspired by the matriarchs of the family are popping up and looking modern, cool, and,gasp!, youthfully fun. Here, my top picks that both you and Nana would surely approve of:
1) Delvaux Tempte MM Handbag:Its all about structure slouch isnt ladylike! Delvaux nails it, by adding the arresting detail of side straps that wrap around the bag. And the color? Scandalous yet old-time movie-star classic.
At Barneys New York for $3,600.
2) Valentino Demetra Patent Leather Bag:Old-world innocence, and elegance, to boot. Valentinos details make for standbys to last through generations, and nothing says granny-chic like a proper frame-top.
At Bergdorf Goodman for $2,245.
3) Gucci Bella Medium Top Handle Bag:We all know grannies love Gucci. This one looks fresh in champagne-metallic leather. A neat little bow attached to the signature bamboo-and-tassel detail keeps it just prim enough.
At Bergdorf Goodman for $1,995.
4) Fendi Chameleon Large Colorblock Satchel:Heres to the ladies who lunchor dont. So gorgeous, the edgiest girl in black jeans and Jimmy Choo biker boots could carry this creamy sensation and look right-on.
At Bergdorf Goodman for $2,520 (expected to ship by May 5th).
5) Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Leather Tote:Whats a grandma collection without a little traditional Bottega? White says youre pristine, and the fact that your carrying a Bottega top-handle says you know how to appreciate the quality of a classic.
On Net-a-Porter for $3,820.
6) Nina Ricci Python Liane Shoulder Bag:This is the epitome of granny-chic. The pert top-handle, fold-over design, complete with neat clasp, is so old-world. And the amazing, almost rugged python skin is soyou.
Available for pre-order for $3,750 at Barneys New York.

By using various bespoke furniture items, interior decorator Maria de la Osa managed to create a stunning feminine appeal to this Madrid house, turning it into a space filled with patterns, serene colors and bespoke furniture. A mirror table adorns the middle of the living room, gently reflecting the colors and textures of its surroundings. The spotlight in the living space is on the beautiful transition between the space used for entertaining and the space used for dining – a double-sided furniture item that shelters books on one side and kitchen cabinets on the other. The dining area is a semi-secluded space with white Knappa pendant lamps hanging over the dining table accompanied by a pair of walnut Queen Anne chairs with red velvet seat.

Spread along the white background, soft touches of mauve, pink and turquoise and carefully chosen patterns are invaded by natural light coming from the large windows and glazed door leading out to the terrace and garden. Upstairs, the bedroom, closet and bathroom create an oasis of relaxation and a visually pleasant collection of spaces. White frames on the closet doors, with glossy black details seem to be the opposite of the bathroom’s black-framedlacquered steel and glass white counters. Stylish and charming, this Madrid home can be considered a ready-to-move-in dream home.

Last week after the Raine Magazine party, my friend and I headed to Lilium the haute new bar located in the W Hotel, Union Square. The gorgeous space is rich, dark and avant garde and offers incredible cocktails. The best bit was the dirty glam video by Marilyn Minter playing on the LED screen above [...]

Une Ame en + is a Parisian Antique Shop that has the MOST amazing website. I could just sit all day looking at their home page which scrolls through the most beautiful images. Mesmerizing!

Its time for a little week in review, hair snob-style. Its time to determine which lady-of-the-public eye flaunted your favorite locks. From Rihannas explosive girls (Im just glad shes got rid of the red menace!) to Bar Refaelis California beach babe-style waves at the Dior Couture show to Emmy Rossums classic blowout at an appearance forLive! With Kelly, the ladies kept it long and loose this week.

Which celeb do you think has the ‘do of the week?

Forget any old associations with the term goth. Once used to described alienated teenagers who wore too much Wet n Wild black eyeliner and listened to Marilyn Manson, all that has changed. With the rise of designers like Riccardo Tisci and Haider Ackermann, as well as mysterious fashionistas like Kate Lanphear and Leigh Lezark, we’re now finding a little goth in all of us! One thing that hasnt changed? Goths are true to the shade of black and so are these bags, bound to get you in touch with your dark side.
1) Anya Hindmarch Patent-Leather Envelope Clutch:Goths love their high-shine PVC, as long as its in ebony, of course. With a faceted-crystal closure, Anyas patent take is an approachable variation on liquidy latex.
On Net-a-Porter for $350.
2) Christian Louboutin Sweet Charity Spike-Studded Bag:Think Gothic Lolita. The plentiful spikes are totally hardcore, but the neat bow (almost hidden under all that hardware!) softens it up.
At Bergdorf Goodman for $1,195.
3) Paula Cademartori Stud and Crystal Caroline Shoulder Bag:This Goth might be all grown-up, but shes still not afraid of a little pain. This structured bag might prick, but its worth it for the edgy-meets-polished style.
On Luisa via Roma for $2,243.
4) Thomas Blakk Soft Boombox Laser Patent-Leather Clutch:The hue might not be loud on this Boombox clutch, but the texture is mega-watt. We know Goths are night-crawlers, and this multi-textural gleamer is sure to catch the moonlight.
On Luisa via Roma for $1,214.
5) Bottega Veneta Breezy Hobo Bag:The name might be Breezy, but this bag is tough stuff. Python and leather have been rather savagely patched together to put a dark, murky spin on usually polished Bottega.
At Barneys New York for $3,900.
