Fjallraven.

This is the new “it” bag from Fjallraven, although the Kanken backpack has been around since 1978, I have been seeing more of them in boutiques and shops on the west coast. So if you are looking for the next bag trend, check this brand. They are based in Sweden and specialize in hiking apparel and equipment. Fjallraven focuses on quality and design, but they are not your usual outdoorsy brand, there are modern and dedicated to making every thing as functional and efficient as possible without sacrificing design.

Navy And Gold Theme

Net-A-Porter has a new shipment of designer goods ready for you to buy them. There was a common theme among the new arrivals, Navy and Gold. Trust me this is the new color combination, I think these items are a a great example of this season strongest color combination. The two navy accessories on the left are made by Isabel Marant, the gold necklace is by Marc Jacobs and the dress is by Rachel Gilbert. Love them? click here to learn more.

Loeffler Randall

Here are my two favorite pieces from Loeffler Randall’s Spring 2009 collection. Biker inspired jackets are still a strong trend, this one uses silver zippers to highlight the style. Jumpers are just starting to pick up as a style. I love women in jumpers but be sure to try them out before you buy them, not all jumpers are for everyone. This Loeffler Randall jumper has a boned bodice, side pockets and a leather belt, I haven’t seen it in person but this looks like a winner in my book. Check these and more of Loeffler Randall here.

Aprons and Bags

These aprons are from Apron and Bags in Brooklyn, New York.  These are all handmade one at a time and always made to order. I like the utilitarian and  industrial look of them, it is a mix of metal worker and butcher apron. Check all their other apron designs and bags here.

Another great place for swimsuits is Malia Mills. A New York based designer inspired by vintage design and flattering lines. These are just a few examples but Malia Mills has so much more in their website. Check their online shop, where you can find all her swimsuits, apparel and accessories.

Another swimsuit brand that caught my eyes is Hanne Bloch, a brand that uses bold colors, refined details and beautiful fabrics. The line is really sophisticated and shows a variety of designs using really unique fabrications. I think the photography in their website really portraits what Hanne Bloch is all about, the life of luxury in a swimsuit.  check them out here.
