Tinsley Mortimer Supports Shiba Ina Rescue at Samantha Thavasa NYC, plus Video Interview w Tinsley: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

Last night, Michelle and I went to a charity event co-hosted by Tinsley Mortimer at the Samantha Thavasa NYC boutique. The gathering was orchestrated to raise money and awareness for NYC Shiba Rescue, an organization that rescues and houses Shiba Inu dogs with a foster family until a permanent home can be found. 10% of all sales made last night went to this wonderful organization. Some guests even came with their Shiba dogs. Friendly dogs, great bags ... what more does a gal need?

How about a wickedly fabulous dress. This black frock I'm wearing is from Karen Millen, a UK based designer I'm beyond obsessed with. I walked by her shop in Short Hills Mall last weekend and flipped. The looks sizzle, the prices aren't that bad and she does accessories too. Thanks again to Saba at Factory PR for the loner - I'll be buying this sample at the close of the season. The evening's look was rounded out with Ruthie Davis pumps (again - I have to buy more!) and a pop of pink from my Teich clutch. In case you are wondering (hehe) that's Michelle at the far right in Victor&Rolf for H&M and the lovely Tinsley Mortimer in the middle.

Wanna know which Samantha Thavasa clutch is Tinsley's Favorite? WATCH our video on YouTube. Which one is my favorite? You can WATCH that video here too!

Have a bag-a-licious day!

Dear Bagistas,

Thank you to everyone who came out last Thursday to the BagTrends.com Soiree for Samantha Thavasa. We had a great time socializing with all of you and introducing you to this great Japanese-based handbag company. It was especially fun to meet our new friends from Twitter and Facebook - you know who you are. The win was flowing, the company was great and the shopping with 10% off was a nice VIP plus. For more details and images check out the full event recap at BagTrends.com. Before leaving I also shot a bag-a-licious video at the store. Check that out, as well.

Have a bag-a-licious day!
