That's Amora!

Luxury handbag designer Makeda Amha recently showed her debut collection at The Train, a prestigious New York City tradeshow know as a launchpad for new talent. I am absolutely smitten with the Amora purse. Organic cotton, in the form of traditional Ethiopian textiles, have been incorporated into eco-friendly, vegetable tanned and croc-embossed leather. That means you won't have to worry about dyes turning the Han river red with pollution... basically, an heirloom purse you can feel good about. ($Available Upon Request)

Let There Be Light

After today's massive Florida blackout, I figured it might be a good idea to stock up on candles. I usually stick to the superfat pillar candles, but this 20-taper candelabrum is as pretty as it is impractical; two characteristics that seem to go well together in fashion. Sure to cast a bright light in the darkness with each candle lit, it makes for a lovely holiday centerpiece and perhaps even a romantic evening. ($98)

Baby Got ...

Oh... my... god. Becky, look at this shoe! It's just so... amazing! The maestro, Christian Louboutin, has truly outdone himself with this exquisite Champagne-colored paillettes covered pump. Aptly named the Decollette, this lovely foot wrapping is sure to reveal an expanse of toe cleavage. Your foot-fetish lover may go into cardiac arrest from the mere sight of them on your pedicured tootsies. ($925)
