Update on Ilya Peckerman Foundation for Wegeners Disease & How to Carpe Diem with Julia Child: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

Thank you to everyone who has emailed me or reached out to me via Facebook to send their good wishes. Michelle and I have started a cause on Facebook to promote the Ilya Peckerman Foundation for Wegeners Disease. Please visit the page, which will soon be updated on how you can help and where exactly your dollars will be going.

Over the past few weeks, I've struggled to get out of bed, focus on work and function. I'm not the only one who has ever lost - I'm sadly not even the only one to have lost someone to Wegeners. That, of course, doesn't make me feel any better. There have been a few key things that have kept me peaceful and even brought a smile to my face:
1. my two musketeers - mom and sister - we do a good job of balancing each other out. When we sense one is down, the others go into overdrive of talking, distracting or just plain goofing around.
2. my husband - words can't even express the calming, patient force he has been. And I do so love his reminders about getting my hair done, going out of the house to work from a cafe, and shopping. The latter part has brought several key items into my life: Joie over-the-knee flat black boots ($200 on sale at Saks.com), a black Herve Leger dress (also on sale $600 at Saks.com ) and a magenta beaded Milly cardigan (yup, on sale $110 at Saks.com). Not bad for a gal that has had a serious case of shopping anxiety for nearly a year!
3. watching Julie&Julia - oh what a charming, well editing, magically crafted movie based on a delightful book (of which I only read 50%). I watched it Saturday with my mother-in-law and once again on Sunday with my mom. Then I bought Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Vol. 1. Today, if the force is with me I'll make Filets de Poisson Bercy aux Champignons (a fancy way to say fish filets pouched in white wine with mushrooms). I may even cook in pearls and by 50s-inspired dress from Unique-vintage.com.

Before I go, I'll add how I plan to carpe diem today - remember my last post!! I'll carpe diem by working only until 5pm and devoting time to cooking - what I'm certain will become - world famous Filets de Poisson Bercy aux Champignons fait par Pamela Pekerman. How will you Carpe Diem today? Make it your mission to ask yourself that every single morning!

Have a bag-a-licious day!

Launching of the Ilya Peckerman Foundation for Wegeners Disease

Dear Bagistas,

I never use this blog to discuss anything that’s personal, unless its purseonal. However, it’s with great sadness that I share the news of the passing of my amazing father Ilya Peckerman. My daddy passed away from complications associated with Wegener's Granulomatosis, a rare auto-immune disease affecting the vascular system. It’s a disease few doctors ever see, so its not always easy to diagnose. My sister, mother and I knew something was up when his intense sinusitis wasn’t going away and with some force and leg work got him diagnosed in late May 2009. With the help of serious medication and a strong will for life, my father was making a recovery and was able to walk me down the aisle in August and enjoy my wedding. After going to work for about three months, he had a relapse in late November. He passed away December 18, 2009 and not only did I lose a father, but a great friend. I’m sharing this with you because from such hardship, my family hopes to help others. Over the coming weeks, Michelle and I, along with our mother, will be launching the Ilya Peckerman Foundation for Wegeners and Vasculitis Disease. We want to bring awareness and increase education about this disease, help those who need medication to fight it, and assist in funding new research. We are in the process of finding out the legal aspects of launching such a foundation and I’ll be relating information as it comes. In the mean time you can learn more about this disease here at vasculitisfoundation.org. It’s not easy putting these words out there to the world, but I’m hopefully that a lot of good will come from it.

On another note, I want to share some of my father’s everlasting energy and spirit with you. He was a man that, although being very meticulous and organized, loved spontaneity. He was the social director of his family and friends with a wonderful zest for life. It wouldn’t be far fetched to say his motto was “Carpe Diem”. And so, I wish to share with you – and to remind myself – to “Carpe Diem”. Don’t put off watching a movie with your mother, cooking with your spouse, reading a book to your niece, taking a mini vacation to Boston, actually watching the sun set, leaving yourself 30 minutes each day to read a book, stepping away from your desk on nice day to enjoy lunch outside, taking the longer walk to school, popping into an unusual art gallery, creating an at-home spa day, taking your grandma out for sushi, using your gym membership, testing out a vespa, walking across the Brooklyn Bridge, learning to play the piano …
How will you Carpe Diem today?

Have a healthy, bag-a-licious day!

Jetting to Miami, Talking TJMaxx Fashion, Viewing LaLucca Bags, Drinking with Adriana Castro: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

I’m living the jet set lifestyle, well, sort of. At 8am the hubby dropped me off at the airport where I left my fabulous fur behind and slipped into a neon yellow, open cardigan from Express. Three hours later I’m in muy caliente Miami! By 3pm I’ve purchased new flipflips (this was a serious BudgetFashionista-style mission, documented on twitter) and had lunch just in time to meet with the wife-hubby team of Luara and Alex of LaLucca handbags. I was really excited when they gifted me a one-of-a-kind clutch! LaLucca is truly a marriage of art and fashion and very Miami. Each bag really has a soul and a story to tell. (More of LaLucca coming up on BagTrends.com probably in two weeks or so.) By 5pm I was at TJMaxx picking out a few more bags for tomorrow’s NBC6 segment on holiday clutches and snagging a two fashion pieces for myself – I can’t help it. By 9pm, after several hours of working from my hotel room and having dinner, it was off to have drinks with Adrian Castro and her husband, Luis, at Sushi Samba. Talking about exotic skin handbags, plans for a double date in New York, and new Adriana Castro ventures for 2010 isn’t a bad way to cap the evening. Oh, of course, I didn’t forget to light my traveling menorah! At left, see my day in pictures.

It’s an early call time (8am) tomorrow for my NBC6 segment, which should air on December 16th in Miami. I hope you like all the affordable holiday clutch options up to 60% off department store prices. You'll recognize plenty of designer goodies.

Until tomorrow, as they say in Spanish ...

Tenda un dia bag-a-licous!

Better TV, Radley and Matt Bernson Spring 2010 Previews and My Royally Fab Cettu Tote: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

Yesterday was crazy. At 10:30am I shot a segment for BETTER TV (which airs next week). Then it was off to work from Cosi (my faux office in the city) on 2010 BagTrends calendar of events and other loose ends. 2:30pm I went to preview Radley London's Spring/Summer 2010 collection - super cute, review posting here on BagTrends.com in a week. I picked up the most adorable umbrella - best swag of the week!! Then is was back to Cosi for some more work and then downtown to preview Matt Bernson's latest shoes. The evening capped off with dinner with my pr friend Malorie of CameoPR and then we popped into the Atelier Minyon jewelry shop to drool over baubles. A special thank you to Nichelle of StyleMom.com for inviting me to the presentation. I'll post a few images later on this week.

I can't, of course, let this verbal diarrhea post go without mentioning the bag I wore yesterday. My new CETTU tote, pictured below, got nine compliments throughout the day. It's really a stunning piece and for $400 a fabulous investment. (You can get yours for 25% off December 15th at the BagTrends Party for CETTU Handbags). This tote does come in chocolate, but i just love purple. It is of course the color once reserved for the royals, and aren't we all the princesses in our lives?

Have a bag-a-licious day!

What My Floor Looks Like Before I Shoot a TV Segment: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

This is what my floor looks like the day before a TV shoot. Actually, this is after I've edited out lots of other bags - which will probably live in my work closet and only get returned in early January. HELP! I so need an intern.

The segment I'm taping tomorrow is for BETTER TV about holiday handbags. The four groups are: "little luxuries" from Saks Fifth Avenue under $75, "affordable clutches" from TJMaxx under $150, "secondary lines" from Elle Nicole/Danielle Nicole and Carlos Falchi for Target/Carlos Falchi, and "smart splurges" from Kooba, Be&D and Katherine Kwei. The Kooba London tote (at right with python accent) is amazing. I've been itching for a good olive bag and it took all my professional strength not to wear this one! But, back to reality. The best part of this segment ... every one of these handbags will be given away via BagTrends.com. Details will be posted December 14 and the segment will air December 15. Check your local listings or watch it at Better.tv.

Tucker Paisley Holiday Party Wrap Up: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

Even rain can't wash out a good party! Thanks to everyone who came on Tuesday for BagTrends Holiday Soiree for Tucker Paisley. We had a blast. Michelle and I loved wearing Tucker Paisley's new Eliza dress. I ended up buying the metallic silver sample dress that Tracy, the designer of Tucker Paisley, let me originally borrow for the night. What can I say, this the season to shop for fabulousness.

Three big thank yous belong to: our amazing intern Q (nobody poses better with a clip board than her), Marnie the owner of Blue Bag which hosted our event, and all the bagista babes that came out to have some fun with us.

Couldn't make it to this shindig? Join us December 15 for our next party. This time we'll be ringing in holiday cheer and stocking up on last-minute holiday treats from CETTU Handbags.

RSVP to cettu@BagTrends.com. Visit BagTrends.com for more details.

Elliott Lucca Summer 2010, Which Handbag Should I Get: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

Last week I previewed Elliott Lucca, The Sak, Sakroots and Freebird summer 2010 collections - all part of The Sak Brand. I love this particular appointment for several reasons: the fabulous Andrea who handles PR, the affordable and stylish bags, the fact that smart questions are asked and notes are taken by the pr rep during the appointment, and getting to choose any handbag I fancy. That means, I get a bag from The Sak Brand about 5 times per year. Sweat perk no?

This time, I'd like your help in selecting the handbag I should get.

I've narrowed it down to a new silhouette from Elliott Lucca (see below). This satchel has signature woven detailing on the front, a generous opening, shoulder strap option, and plenty of pockets. I'm loving the white because I just need a new white bag and I like the tortes shell accent on the turnlock. The metallic navy color is also quite nice. So, which do you prefer for me?

Leave a comment below stating which color you prefer and why ... who knows, maybe you'll win one too - hint, hint!

Meeting Tracy of Tucker Paisley in LA, plus BagTrends Holiday Party: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

Last month I went to Los Angeles for a week of fun in the sun -- OK, actually it was more like a week of driving around in a car while the suns rays burned through the windshield. I was on a mission to find an amazing venue for an upcoming BagTrends LA Arm Candy Party (details to come). During my visit, I also checked out some of my favorite boutiques (including Arcade by Rochelle Gores) and finally had a chance to meet Tracy Fredkin founder of Tucker Paisley.

For those that don't know, Tucker Paisley, is an accessories brand that originally started out making handbag with paisley prints on canvas and quickly expanded into using leather and suede. Tucker Paisley also makes small leather goods, scarfs (one of which I'm wearing in this video) and beachwear.

Tracy and I hit if off so much that she's decided to come to New York and have BagTrends host a Holiday Shopping Soiree for Tucker Paisley. Michelle and I are really excited because we just love working with nice people and we both love clutches and Tracy makes lots of clutches. That's Tracy, at right, holding the Embossed Joey Clutch $155.

I hope you can join us December 2 from 5pm - 8pm. Details Below. Space is super limited so you can only bring one guest. If your friends want to come, they must rsvp separately.

WHAT: Tucker Paisley Holiday Shopping Soiree

WHERE: Blue Bag, 266 Elizabeth Street New York City

WHEN: December 2nd 5pm - 8pm

RSVP: tuckerpaisley@bagtrends.com by Nov 30. Space is limited!!!

Have a bag-a-licious day!

Frye Spring 2010 Preview Kicks Off My Day: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

It was a non-stop day of spring 2010 preview appointments. I kicked off the morning with a Frye presentation. I’m not really a rugged, leather boots and saddle bag kind of gal, but Frye isn’t just that any more. Their offerings have expanded without losing site of their worn leather and hand detailed pieces. The Weave Magazine Shoulder Bag in violet with a woven lanyard-like rope handle, really caught my eye ($368). This shape is part of the assortment of huaraches. At the presentation, it was nice catching up with the ladies from the Bromley Group, which reps Frye. Karen Bromley is always a delight to see and her tribal-cool necklace was having its own fashion moment – just wish I took a picture to share with you. In my past life, I used to intern for the Bromley Group and despite my abrupt departure (long story – nothing too dramatic) I’ve kept in touch with Karen. Before departing, I was gifted a leather-bound Frye notebook. You really can’t give a writer anything better!

After departing the Coca-Cola building on 55th and 5th, I walked to the P3R press preview on 37th and 7th and then cabbed it to Rebecca Minkoff’s spring 2010 line.

Swarovski Re-colored Power Bag in Pink, BCA: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Swarovski has re-colored it's Power Bag in pink. The original version of this evening clutch has been a red carpet staple, carried by Hillary Swank, Carmen Electra, Dita Von Teese and Emmy Rossum. The Pink Power Bag went on sale on both on http://www.swarovski.com/ and at Swarovski boutiques nationwide October 1st. It retails for $850 and ten percent of the proceeds will go to The Libby Ross Foundation’s Yoga Program For Breast Cancer Survivors.

Now, I know what you are thinking - everyone and their mother is creating a pink product in order to get press. And, I get it! But, whether a company is giving 10% or 100%, whether they are doing it all year long or just during Breast Cancer Awareness month, and whether they are involved because they care or because it makes for good publicity, the end result is still the same. A lot of money is being diverted to a good cause. So, I shall still share this type of information with you! That's all I have to say about that. :)

Have a bag-a-licious day!

You're Invited - Fall 2009 BagTrends Arm Candy Party in NYC Oct 7: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

It's that time again. Time to gather the girlfriends for a night of bag-a-licious fun at the fall 2009 BagTrends Arm Candy Party. We invite you to relax as you get pampered with hand massages and mini facials courtesy of Lierac, receive complimentary hair analysis from Phyto, drink Voga wine .... but most of all SHOP SHOP SHOP.

The list of Arm Candy delights at this party is beyond words ... but I'll try.

Adriana Castro - recently spotted on SJP to be part of the next Sex and The City Movie (her crocodile skins are luxury at its finest) http://www.adrianacastroonline.com/
Anavaa Kisasa - my fellow Brookylyite making sleek bags for the city dwelling diva http://www.theakstyle.com/om/
Anya Rubin - don't label her a designer, this is a multi-talented artist who makes great baubles (and small world turns out she was the maid of honor at my uncles wedding - I was the flower girl) http://www.anyaart.com/
Beirn - these bags are burning up! the lightweight and super affordable water snake line has been spotted on Sarah Jessica Parker in the first Sex and The City Movie, at Peter Som fashion show and the rackes of Henri Bendel http://www.beirnbag.com/
Clara Kasavina - dazzles with her Swarovski-drenched, hand crafted and cast in the USA evening bags, but this 25yr+ brand has lots in store including fun, cross-body bags, hand-painted python clutches, and jewelry. Fans include Beyonce and Catherine Zeta-Jones. http://www.clarakasavina.com/
Clipa - the handbag hook that always stays on your bag and can be worn as a bracelet - all I can say is, "why didn't I think of this?" http://www.clipa.us/
Emre New York - made with love in Turkey, this handbag line has the glamour and craftsmanship without forgetting about function. It's not surprising it's an Oscar gift bag favorite! Fans include Beyonce, Milla Jovovich, and Kristin Cavalleri. http://www.emrenyonline.com/
Lena Erziak - I'm dying over this ultra-new handbag line because of it's vintage essence and it factor. I just feel downtown cool about it, and so will you! http://www.lenaerziak.com/
Joanna Maxham - the Italians know how to make good handbags. Do I really need to say more about the exquisite skins and suede lining on these bags? See for yourself! http://www.joannamaxham.com/maxham.com/
Radley London - a reason to loath the Brits, they kept Radley all to themselves for nearly 10 years! This line of just-right work/day bags always has a British-humor wink it it's design ... maybe it's to do with the dog. You'll see what I mean at the party. http://www.radleylondon.com/
Zara Terez - funky and all NYC inspired and made, this young designer taps into every neighborhood in NYC (even those bridge-and-tunnel boroughs I love so much!) to create handbags inspired by each area. Are you a Forest Hills girl or Madison Avenue? http://www.zaraterez.com/
