Miche Demi Peggy is such a pretty look for spring.  This soft mint green in the scallop, collar and across the tops of the side pockets really brings a fanciful air to the creamy softness of this shell.  We will be seeing a lot of greens this spring, and in this soft shade, Peggy would work beautifully as a neutral, or to accompany any other green.  $39.95

Spring 2013 Miche Wallets:

Spring 2013 Miche wallet teal

The Miche Teal Wallet is so ridiculously pretty that I am actually trying to figure out a way to rationalize having 1 wallet for spring and my leopard print wallet for fall.

Vivid teal in a wonderfully soft and textured faux leather covers a soft mint green, and is outlined in pale pink piping.  A magnetic closure hides the mint green interior with 11 card slots, an open pocket and a zippered pocket for change.  Beautifully made, wonderfully functional, and incredibly chic!  $29.95  Available to order by clicking here!  Thanks so much!

Miche Bags ~ So Simple…  So Chic…  So You

Miche or Miche Luxe? What’s Your Style? + Free Purse Charm…

I know it’s new, but what do you think of the new Miche Luxe line?  Are you in love?  Or do the original Miche bag shells still claim your heart?  Either way, you can get a free purse charm with your $70 order – see details below.

September 2012 Miche Luxe Collection group shot

The newest Miche Luxe line to be released September 1st, 2012, is generating a lot of buzz!  So far the reviews seem to be very positive, yet I hear some customers saying they really want to be able to keep ordering more traditional Miche bag shells.  Not to worry!  The Luxe line is in addition to the wonderful Miche bags we have all fallen in love with – not instead of them.  And they interchange just as easily!  (For complete details and pricing on every Miche Luxe shell, please see previous post)

So which styles are making your list of favorites?  Do you love the added style and bling of the Luxe line above, or the simple chic designs of the Fall Fearless line below?

Miche Fearless Collection for fall

I’ll admit – I am torn!  I love the way both collections give us some real pizazz to add to our fall fashions, but each has it’s own undeniable charm…

September 2012 Miche Luxe Prima Quincy

 

The Miche Luxe Prima Quincy is certainly one of my favorites – the complex strapping and belting detailing and the twisted handle give this bag such an understated elegance and powerful presence!

The matching handle, with the antique brass rings and brads comes with this shell, as does the imprinted matching key fob – $89.95.  Gorgeous!

Remember, she will be released in limited quantites, and is first available to order September 1stPlease check back to place your order here.  Thanks!

August 2012 Miche Prima Breanne

The Miche Prima Breanne from the Fearless line is definitely less flashy, but her rich color and subtle styling still make her a winning combination for so many outfits, fall through summer.  While the Luxe Quincy is first available to order September 1st at $89.95, she is likely to sell out in just a couple of weeks.  Miche Prima Breanne is available to order now for $39.95.  Add a Fearless purse charm in antique brass (see details below) to give Breanne an extra bit of swing and bling!

September 2012 Miche Luxe Classic Carmel

 

The oh-so-pretty Miche Luxe Classic Carmel can dress up or down, and always looks great doing so.  This bag is perfectly on trend for Fal 2012 fashions, yet will easily transition for your year round go-to bag.  Complete with the matching handles, this high-end bag is $64.95.  So charming and sophisticated, this style is a sure way to please a Miche fan.  It will be gone in a flash, but think what a terrific Christmas gift it would be for the Classic bag carrier on your list!  This whimsical style is also available in the Demi size – Miche Luxe Lincoln – 79.95.   Remember, both sizes will be released in limited quantites, and is first available to order September 1stPlease return here to place your order!  I do appreciate your business!August 2012 Miche Demi Myranda 

For fabulous color, it is hard to beat Miche Demi Myranda from the Fearless Collection.  The super soft faux leather is marble textured in rich plum tones, and heavily pleated along the sides.  The Antique Brass Miche name plate makes this a gorgeous pairing with the interchangeable antique brass handles.  This is a great color for fall, but I can see Myranda easily transitioning into a chic, year round fashion accessory to love.  Miche Demi Myranda is now available to order!  $39.95

September 2012 Miche Luxe Classic Sedona

 

I love the edgy detail styling of Miche Luxe Classic Sedona!  The antique brass chain woven into the espresso faux leather gives is an air of “biker chic” that I cannot get enough of!  This bag is $69.95 and includes the matching handle that continues the fabulous chain detailing.   Also available in the Miche Luxe Demi Aspen for $84.95.  First available to order September 1st.  Available only in a limited supply.  Please come back here to place your order!  I so appreciate your business!

August 2012 Miche Demi Renae snakeskin taupe

 

Miche Demi Renae of the Fearless line gets her fierceness on through a faux snakeskin pattern and antique brass hardware.  Never have neutral shades looked so commanding of attention!  Use Renae with other prints of a different scale or solids, and she will always go well with other looks, yet be a stand out while doing so.   

Remember that animal prints are now considered a fashion nuetral, and this goes for snakeskin!  Effortlessly edgy chic! 

Miche Demi Renae is now available to order.  $39.95

I honestly cannot decide which collection I love more.  Can you?  The best part, of course, is that we don’t have to choose!  The Luxe shells and the Fearless shells are equally interchangeable and fit the same, well-made base bags so beautifully, you can always be organized, yet always perfectly stylish.    

You still have a few more days to decide which, if any, of the new Miche Luxe shells are going to be added to your wardrobe.  They go on sale September 1st.  We have been warned that the supplies are very limited, and I don’t know how long any of them will last.  The Miche Demi Glory sold out in less than 6 full days and we were not warned of limited supply for those.  If one or more of the Luxe shells has captured your heart – don’t delay!  Return here to place your order September 1st!   I do appreciate your business!

September 2012 Miche Luxe Demi Annecy

Miche Luxe Demi Annecy really sparkles from grommets and studs in silver, brass and dark pewter.  Like Marseille in the Prima size, Demi Annecy comes with two ways to carry her.  Two short, dove grey handles (that would be fabulous with the new Hope Blue – just an idea!) and the heavily embellished shoulder strap for the full bling effect!   For $84.95, both sets of matching handles, a matching embossed key fob and dust cover come with this shell.  As part of a market test, this shell, like the rest of the new Luxe line will be in very limited quantities.  I expect this to be one of the first to sell out.  Please click here to order Miche Luxe Demi Annecy - September 1st!  Thank you!

Miche Bags ~ So Simple…  So Chic…  So You!

Your Fall Fashion Statement ~ Miche Bag & FREE Fearless Charm!

So which of the new fall fashions has caught your fancy?  Besides the fall Miche Fearless line – of course!  Are you loving the look of leather?  The playful prints from head to toe?  Are you looking forward to all things scarlet and must-have oxblood pieces?  Or the brocade and braided baroque?  Or… do you just want to be your best you?  (See below for details on the free antique brass purse charm with your $70 Miche order)

August 2012 Miche Demi Joella

So many times, the latest fashions are designed to make the designer, rather than the woman, shine.  Remember, fashion should work for you, not the other way around.  Find what you love, and be sure you can really rock that look – rather than looking lost in translation.

Your look should be your own.  Add your own personality into your style, and use the latest looks to enhance your own.  I love the whimsy of Miche Demi Joella above, whether paired with the red we will soon see so much of, or any other color she compliments.  Vivid red looks fabulous on the model above, but it does not flatter my skin tones.  If I decide to dive into scarlet, I’ll be sure to do so with pants or skirt – something far from my face, so I can look great wearing this style, rather than being outshone by the color I choose.  August 2012 Miche Demi Tina scarlet with purple accents Or maybe just an accent or two will do…

Maybe you will prefer to use the red of fall fashions sparingly, as a splash of color rather than the main look.  With Miche Demi Tina, some red in the print heels and on a bracelet, and this model has completely updated a classic look to be perfectly current with Fall 2012. 

Like the Joella, Tina helps you incorporate a couple of new trends at once.  Prints are very big this coming season.  Bold prints, geometric, floral, animal prints.  Lots and lots of prints, frequently mixed.  We will see a lot of not just colored jeans, but colorful print jeans.  If this is what you love – enjoy!  If instead, you are groaning – no worries!  You can add a print scarf or handbag to your favorite outfit of solids and still look current.  More importantly, you still look like you!August 2012 Miche Prima Breanne fall fashions

It is being said that “oxblood” – the deep wine color of the leather jacket right – “is the new black”.  It is versatile, looks great with many colors, and we will see it everywhere this fall.  So much so, that some are trying to find a more pleasing name.  Burgundy is the one I hear most, and “Chianti” is being suggested, but it doesn’t seem to be gaining traction. 

See how well it goes with the olive-green of the cami and the rich ocher of Miche Prima Breanne?  This color will work with many that are already in your closet.  Again, if it enhances your skin tones, go for jackets, blouses and scarves.  If you love it, but it is not flattering to you, try pants, skirts, belts and shoes, where it will keep your look current, but you keep the colors that look best on you near your face. August 2012 Miche Demi Myranda outfit

The baroque look will be dazzling, with heavy use of brocade, velvets, gold braiding, beading, and intricate patterns.   The looks we are seeing are stunning - but I find it hard to see the woman wearing them…  I think they get lost in the glare.  To the left, you have my take on a more gentle baroque.  The richness of the colors, the mixed floral and snake-skin patterns, the intricate details and embellishments are all inspired by the idea of wearable baroque that still lets you shine and needn’t break the bank.  Miche Demi Myranda is a perfect fit with her rich plum tones and extravagant pleating details.  Worn with the interchangeable antique brass chain handles and further embellished with a purse charm with the antique brass chain and shine, she fits right into the lush look of wearable baroque. 

The cross between the opulence of the Elizabethan era ball gown and dress military uniforms makes for a glittering baroque fashion show, but will, I think, be tough to wear, and will quickly be out of date.  Instead, use pieces you love and will enjoy for a long time, and incorporate some of the baroque influences in your updated looks.  For certain, I will be wearing intricate earrings and ornate jewelry and lush patterns.  You decide if you like this style, and if so, how much of it you will explore.  Be inspired and make it yours! 

August 2012 Miche Demi Madison great purse all seasonsMaybe you are not interested in what the rest of the world will be wearing this fall.  Instead, you have your own style and are comfortable with your look.  Great!  If you just want a great casual bag that works for all seasons, Miche Demi Madison has got you covered!   Richly marble textured caramel and navy faux leather is banded by an interesting strap and hardware detail.  The colors are great year round, and while casual, Madison is utterly stylish.  Use the Interchangeable chain handles in antique brass to make the most of her pretty features.

Which ever of the fall fashions appeals to you, and whatever the Miche Fearless shell(s) that have captured your heart, wouldn’t it be nice to enhance your style with a purse charm based either on the customary silver chain, or the antique brass chain used so extensively throughout the Miche Fearless line?

Fabulous Fall Fashions: Miche Bags w/ Fearless Purse Charms!

Miche bags Fearless line sets the tone for fabulous fall fashions!  Get a free Kat’s Kreations Fearless purse charm with your order of $70 – your choice of antique brass chain or silver chain.  See details below.August 2012 Miche Demi Joella Jayma

Do you love fall fashion?  Or are you sad to see the light colors and florals of spring go into storage?  I must admit that I enjoy the drama and inherent sensuality of fall fashions as much as I love the fun and flirty side of spring.August 2012 Miche Demi Myranda plum purple

If you are surprised to see fall described as dramatic, you need to re-think the concept.  Fall clothing doesn’t mean everything is dark and sober.  Colors do tend to be deeper and richer in fall, but you must look to find the sultry and mysterious.  Don’t settle for dull!

Miche Demi Myranda beguiles in lush plum tones and generous pleating details.   Her antique brass name plate makes her a sophisticated choice for the interchangeable handles and antique brass chains.  Use either the black or the brown strap, as best coordinates with your outfit. August 2012 Miche Demi Eve black

Black always lends itself to drama.  Miche Demi Eve is a particular favorite of mine with the multiple textures introduced by the intricate cording detail, the weaving and the gathers of her super soft faux leather. 

The layers so popular in fall – and so functional! – allow a greater interplay of patterns and textures, affording more opportunity to express your individuality.  I further enhance the many textures of Eve by carrying her with a single Black Rope Handle attached to the silver chains of the Interchangeable Handles.  The rope handle plays off the cording perfectly, and I like the elegance of the silver chains.August 2012 Miche Demi Clover Teal 

There is plenty of rich color to be found in fall, along with those oh-so-soft and cuddly sweaters, and hair worn down, long and loose and so bewitching.

Miche Demi Clover in deep, bronze kissed teal again lets the color and the texture do the talking.  Sweeping gathers create ripples of teal and shadows.  I still have not decided whether to carry her with the Black Rope Handles – you know how much I love them! – or the Interchangeable handles with the silver chains.   Which will you use?August 2012 Miche Demi Renae snakeskin taupe

If touchably soft sweaters appeal to you, but you prefer the earth tones and neutral shades of fall, you might enjoy the play of patterns of the Demi Renae in a faux snake-skin pattern of taupe and cream.  She definitely makes a statement!

For the outfit to the left, I would keep the embellishments minimal, just swapping the silver toned carabiners for those in antique brass, available separately.  To go all out with Renae, I would use the Interchangeable antique brass chains with the black straps

So incredibly chic!August 2012 Miche Classic Lillian croc textured

 

Sometimes fabulous color and rich texture are all you need to stand out.  Rich, candied raspberry tones and intricate texture make this outfit a show stopper.   Miche Classic Lillian with her croc-textured faux leather is a perfect complement to this intricately textured berry dress, and a real pop of color to any outfit in neutral shades.  I may in fact be addicted to playing with the handles!  I would carry Lillian with the Black Rope Handles.  Texture upon texture is wonderful while the colors remain solid and simple.

And a bold pattern is its own type of visual texture to add to solid colors.  Did you know that animal prints are now considered a fashion neutral?  Both for clothing and interior design, the animal print has become a lasting statement of chic, that will go with just about anything, and make it look even better.  What a joy!

Miche Demi Kendra with her faux leopard print in shades of rich brown is a perfect accent for this fun dress accessorized in natural textures and brown tones.August 2012 Miche Demi Joella Jayma

We will be seeing a lot of leather, and leather looks this fall.  Not just for purses, shoes, belts and jackets, you will see leather-look pants, shirts, skirts, dresses, camisoles and more.  Clearly not for the timid – but why be shy?  This fall, we are going to be Fearless! 

The reason this look with Miche Demi Joella works so well is that purple is an analogous color on the color wheel to red.  Color theory can get very technical, but the bottom line is that purple is right next to red on the color wheel, and therefore they make a harmonious combination.  Keeping the red as an accent color, and relying on the giraffe print as a neutral with pizzazz, we can pull together strong colors, the hottest trends and still make a bold statement of individual personality and style!

I hope you now see fall fashions in a new and beautiful light!

** Free Kat’s Kreations Fearless Purse Charm with $70 Miche Bag order! **

I dearly love the new Fearless line by Miche, and the interchangeable handles to accent the silver or antique brass details are wonderful!   Miche prima Malorie Kat's Kreations Fearless Purse charm closeup

All I need to make it complete is a purse charm that uses the same color as its base chain – silver for those I use the silver chains with and antique brass for those I use the antique brass chain handles with.  On the right, see how the Kat’s Kreations antique brass chain purse charm works so nicely with the antique brass hardware of Prima Malorie?Miche Hip Bag Mya with Kat's Kreations Fearless Purse Charm antique brass chain 

 

The antique brass purse charm also really dresses up the Miche Hip Bag Mya.  Truly boho chic!  But for the lovely Demi Eve seen below, I really need the silver based chain handles, and therefor the silver chain based purse charm as seen below:

If you think I may have gone a bit overboard in terms of “dressing up” my Miche bags – I won’t disagree!  But I do love the different looks I get!August 2012 Miche Demi Eve closeup of weaving detail

We hopped in the car, turned up the AC, cranked up the stereo, and headed out to the beach.  It was a glorious day, and the as the breeze of the ocean picked up, the temperatures finally broke.  Kendra was looking especially cool and chic with her Interchangeable Antique Brass Chain Handles, and was the perfect companion for a spontaneous get-away.

We took a stroll out to Ruby’s Diner at the end of the Oceanside Pier, and enjoyed a scrumptious portabella mushroom and smoked provolone burger.  Fantastic!

Fearless is Beautiful! Meet the Miche Madison Inspiration!

The designer for the Miche bag shells is a marvel to me, and she has shared her moving inspiration behind the new Fearless line Miche Demi Madison.Meet the Inspiration behind Miche Fearless Demi Bag Madison

Jennie Platt is the design genius behind the many, many styles and designs of the Miche bag shells.  Many of us find the latest Miche line, Fearless, truly speaks to us in our own lives and the challenges we face.  Today, Jennie tells the story of her inspiration for the chic new Demi Madison.

Madison is the daughter of one of our Representatives and she definitely defines “fearless.” Madison wanted nothing more than to be a dancer, so she practiced and performed and took hours and hours of classes. In her early teens she started getting sick, and the doctors didn’t know what was wrong with her. All of her nerve endings were in pain, her vision started getting blurry and she could barely walk. Yet through it all she would still go to dance practice, even if only to watch. As her pain got worse she would suffer violent convulsions and was eventually restricted to a wheelchair. After months and months of doctors’ visits she was finally diagnosed with Reflex Neurovascular Dystrophy—her blood flow was restricted to her nerves and they constantly sent pain messages. The only treatment was intense physical therapy to “work through the pain.”

Well Madison went to work—and work she did. Five hours a day. Madison was probably afraid, but she never let that stop her; her determination paid off and over time she danced again! In fact, she performed in this year’s National Dance Competition.

This young lady truly is fearless, and her story inspired us to create the unique—yet sophisticated—Madison Shell.

Like Madison, each of you is great beyond belief, and hopefully you know it. There will always be naysayers and your own fears that say, “You can’t do it”, but you owe it to yourself to be fearless.  Fearless in life’s challenges and obstacles. Fearless in love and adventure. Fearless in fashion and style. Fearless in being who you are.” – Jennie Platt

What an amazing story!  I will remember this and find inspiration in it as I face my own challenges.  Will you do the same?  Let’s take a closer look at the beautiful shell this story of strength and determination inspired:Miche Demi Madison with front strap and buckle detailing 

The colors used in the Demi Madison were drawn from the dusty sand dunes of the Sahara Desert and the deepest blue of a clear midnight sky – rugged, defiant and clear all at once.  The burnt caramel faux leather is a perfect contrast for that deep, deep blue.  The strap detailing across the front, linked with antique brass, flaunts rather than confines the unique energy of the Madison shell.   

 Miche Fearless Demi Madison Closeup

In the close up, to the right, you can see the lovely marbled texture of both the blue and the caramel colored faux leather.  The feel of this bag is super soft, and the look is so ”together”, so utterly ready-for-anything!  Having read the story of Madison’s journey through pain and adversity and on into strength and beauty, I can see the inspiration brought to life in this shell. 

Miche Demi Madison is available to order! $39.95

 

To make the most of the rich color tones and the antique brass hardware on the Demi Madison, I would style her with the Interchangeable Handles with the Antique Brass Chains using the brown strap included in the set.

Madison proves that Fearless is Beautiful!

 

What a privilege to be able to share this story with you!  Many of us are facing changes and challenges that, however daunting, must be over-come.  For some, being fearless may simply be fun to try.  For others it is a survival skill.  For most of us, our ability to succeed may be directly tied to how fearlessly we embrace the struggles ahead.  My very best wishes to you in your own journey.

Miche Fearless Details and Styling Tips ~ Join Our Party Today!

Take a closer look at the Miche Fearless Collection, and see those Interchangeable Handles in action!  Today through midnight is the last day to join our Online Miche Party!   Place your order through this link today to help Janis McCarthy add to her Miche collection, and to be entered to win a free purse charm!August 2012 Fearless Miche interchangeable chain handles antique brass and silver

Fierce fashion styles and fast shipping!  What more could a girl want?  I placed my order for items from the new Miche Fearless collection on Wednesday, and was playing with the new shells and handles Friday!  Fantastic!  And I just love them!  Let’s take a look at ways to accessorize the new Fearless shells, and also how the new handles can dress up an old favorite.

Long time readers will know of my love affair with animal prints.  Miche Demi Kendra is absolutely fabulous!  The oversized rivets and the clasp on her front strap are in the rich, antique brass tones used throughout the Fearless line, and they are set off beautifully by the Interchangeable Handles with antique brass chains I used the black strap with Kendra to pick up the black of her front belt detail and the banding at the top.  I also have more black in my wardrobe.  The brown strap is just as lovely with the brass chains and Kendra’s leopard print - I would recommend it if you wear more earth tones.  Remember – with the Interchangeable Handles, you get both a set of 2 grained black straps and a set of 2 croc textured brown straps.  Kendra has a lovely sheen, but is not “shiny”August 2012 Miche Demi Eve with Silver chains and Black Rope Handles

Miche Demi Eve is utterly chic, simply sophisticated and I just love her!  To set off her intricate weaving and cording detail, I am carrying her with the Black Rope Handles attached to 2 of the silver chains from the set of Interchangeable Handles.  Although I usually use a 1.5″ carabiner ring to attach the handle when I carry the Demi hobo-style, in this case, I found the length to be best when I attached just the chains and rope handles without the additional carabiner.August 2012 Miche Demi Eve closeup of weaving detail  Below, you have a

 

 

 

close up of that wonderful weaving and cording detail I have written about.  The cording has a twisted texture that goes beautifully with the Black Rope Handle.  The gentle gathers along each side just add to Eve’s easy glamour.  The purse charm shown is a Kat’s Kreations in black, white and silver, but I have also enjoyed using the Miche Taffy charmer all in white.  Perfect for when I am wearing all black and white.  There are no side pockets for Eve, but she does have a zippered back pocket.

As much as I love the new Interchangeable Handles with the new shells, they also really dress up those I already have!  Below, I want to show you two ways of using the antique brass to light up an old flame:

To the right, you see one of my favorite Classic shells, the Miche Raquel with the brown straps and antique brass chains of the Interchangeable Handles.  The abstract animal print (what else?) of Raquel gleams with gold and bronze and copper tones set off to perfection by the antique brass chains.

Perhaps you prefer the shorter handles of the Classic, making it a true handbag.  Or simply want to enjoy the new options but need to keep the budget in check.  Look how simply changing out the silver carabiner rings for those now available in antique brass adds a new dimension of richness to a bag that is already so lovely.  The pack of 4 1-inch antique brass carabiner rings is just $5.95 and an easy way to give an updated look to a favorite in your collection.

If you love the new Miche Interchangeable Handles as much as I do, you will enjoy seeing what a pretty package they arrive in.  If a friend or family member is a fellow Miche lover, look what a gift-ready package these handles make! 

Simply add a bow and you have a sure-fire terrific gift for anyone who loves her Miche bag!
