WHAT A PAIR!

One of my favorite color combos is blue and brown. I always think it looks particulary elegant and modern together. But when I experience this color combo in the finest Hermes leather in the shape of a Kelly bag, I am in luxe heaven! Both bags come from the same client who managed to lose both shoulder straps. She's consistent. If you can live without a shoulder strap, you will save THOUSANDS of dollars on each bag. When I type thousands, I really do mean thousands, so don't contemplate too long. You can carry this Hermes bag the way Grace Kelly did: in her gloved hand.

WE'VE MISSED MISSONI

I have always loved Missoni. I can remember buying sweaters on sale at Neiman's in the late 80s (I was precocious and must have thought I was a Huxtable). When I opened Decades in 1997, I started searching for early Missoni pieces like space-dye vests and pullovers. They never go out of style and always look cool. As I learned more about Missoni's rich design history, I became familiar with the more unusual prints, fabrications, and styles that are part of the DNA of this legendary brand.

With a base of red jersey printed with an Asian-inspired floral and bird motif, this is Missoni at its most dramatic and remains one of my favorite designs by the House. Incorporating an attached shawl with degrade fringe that functions like a cape, the body of the dress is quite fitted and ultimately very sexy. There is a sash belt that can be tied around the waist or tied at the back which helps highlight your shape.

Totally luxe and totally unusual, this is the insider's Missoni.
