Dreams indeed! The 2015 Neiman Marcus Christmas Book is out, and as usual, beyond belief! One of this year's MOST fabulous gifts is a trunk filled with accessories handcrafted from around the world! India, Uganda, and South Africa to name a few. Better still, the gift includes lunch, and a styling session with the one and only Iris Apfel! I've paid homage to her inimitable style many times, and can only hope to be as chic in my later years.
The price? a mere $80,000, and is limited to five customers. Scroll down for more details.
IRIS APFEL TRUNK
"More is more, less is a bore!" is the style mantra of 94-year-old fashion icon Iris Apfel. Her souk-meets-haute-couture style earned her a 2005 Metropolitan Museum of Art retrospective. This ikat-embellished trunk comes filled with vintage finds and accessories handcrafted by women globally and inspired by her own personal collection. Gift includes lunch and a styling session with Iris.
With the purchase of the Iris Apfel for Bajalia Trunk of Accessories, Neiman Marcus will donate $5,000 to The Heart of Neiman Marcus Foundation.
Additional details:
Trunk between 4 and 5' tall
Exterior of trunk upholstered with hand-loomed fabric from Uzbekistan

Star Gazing
Just a few celebrity looks from recent weeks. Two of my favorite looks are worn by Solange and Diane Kruger. I like the idea of "dressy" shorts, and a pretty blouse for evening.

What's The Flap?
Well, that would be the flap-front handbag, the latest trend among celebrities and "street style stars" alike. After viewing many of the recent fashion week pictures, I noticed that the much coveted Mansur Gavriel bucket bag had been upstaged by the recent crop of flap-front shoulder bags. Chanel, Saint Laurent, ChloƩ, Louis Vuitton, J.W. Anderson, and Gucci were the most prominent.
As we know, in the world of fashion, it's all about the latest trend. One day you're in, one day you're out, with the exception of the classics such as Gucci and Chanel. See a few well-known names and their bags, along with designer offerings, and similar styles. I've included a particular ChloƩ bag which retails for $1,090 on netaporter.com, for $799 at tjmaxx.com.
