Sneak Peek Miche September Luxe Line! + Free Bling w/ Order!

Posted on August 25, 2012 by Kat McCarthy

The innovative Miche bag concept has proven to be a true winner. Women love having chic, stylish, well-made bags that can be quickly changed to another color, style and personality by changing out the “shells” or the outer covers. No more missing glasses or check books left in another purse! But now Miche is trying something new…

For September, Miche bags is launching a new line of high-end Luxe shells – just as interchangeable and versatile, but with added intricacy of style and detailing. These beautiful shells feature a little extra bling, extra style details and undeniable allure. Each Luxe shell comes with matching handles that continue the design elements of the shell, a coordinating imprinted Miche Luxe key fob and dust cover for careful storage. The price range is approximately $65-$95. This new Luxe line is a test release, so supplies are limited. They will first be available to order September 1st. Let me know what you think!

Let’s take a closer look…

Each of the Miche Luxe line shells is named after a luxury resort. Miche Classic Sedona is a deep, rich espresso brown in unbelievably soft faux leather, embellished with antique brass chains at a repeating diagonal across the shell are woven into place. For a completed, designer finish, this chain is also woven into the matching handle. The new Luxe Classic Aspen is available to order September 1st! Please check back for pricing and to order here.

Miche Luxe Classic Lucerne is in softest dove grey liberally embellished with oversized studs and grommets in pewter, silver and brass. Decorated end pockets and matching handles and key fob round out this high styling beauty. Beautiful in her own right, how great will those handles look with the Hope Blue shells? Just an idea… The lovely Luxe Classic Lucerne is available to order September 1st! Limited supply – don’t wait!

The Miche Luxe Classic Carmel sports a couple of fall’s hottest style trends, yet will easily transition right into spring and summer! The color is a lighter tone of the burgundy we will see so much of, and the diamond pattern in the stitching evokes the look of quilting – very hot this fall. At each corner of the pattern, across the side and all around each end pocket, a bright, antique brass stud twinkles, as well as on the matching handles. Utterly chic, whimsically stylish. Luxe Classic Carmel is first available to order September 1st. Please check back for pricing and to place your order here.

The Miche Luxe Demi Aspen is edgy and sophisticated. For the confident woman who wants a bit of biker glam to spice up her wardrobe. Rich, dark espresso faux leather is incredibly soft. Woven in a herringbone pattern with antique brass chain worked into the side of the shell and the matching handle. Fabulous! Luxe Demi Aspen is available in limited quantities and is first available to order September 1st. Please check back for pricing and to place your order here.

The Miche Luxe Demi Annecy in icy grey glitters from grommets and studs in silver, pewter and brass. Liberally embellishing the side of the shell, the same riveting details are found along the matching single long shoulder handle. This shell also comes with two matching shorter handles. Carry Annecy your way – and in style! Simply Luscious! Luxe Demi Annecy is in limited quantities and will first be available to order September 1st. Please check back for pricing and to place your order here!

Miche Luxe Demi Lincoln is pure whimsical chic. Make a splash with this burgundy colored bag, lavishly embellished with twinkling antique brass studs. The stitched diamond pattern is perfect for the quilted looks we are seeing this fall, and lends texture to the matte faux leather. The matching handles sport an off-center antique brass ring and matching studs for a complete look. Luxe Demi Lincoln is available only in limited quantities, and is first available to order September 1st. Please check back for pricing and to place your order here!

The Miche Luxe Prima Quincy is a marvel of tone on tone texture. Rich, dark espresso faux leather is unbelievable soft, and is croc textured. Strap detailing, embellished with antique brass rings and studs are intertwined with a slender belt, buckled front. Heavily twined matching handles finish the look of rich, luxurious sophistication. This bag will go with everything and be a real stand out while doing so. Luxe Prima Quincy will be released in limited quantities and is first available to order September 1st. Please check back for pricing and to place your order here!

Miche Luxe Prima Marseille in wintry cool pale grey glitters like the sun off a snow pack with grommets and stud detailing liberally enhancing both the shell and matching shoulder strap. In metallic tones of silver, dark pewter and brass, the detailing is lavish and eye-catching. You will look so cool, yet be warmed by the glances and comments of admiration this bag will bring. In addition to the embellished shoulder strap, Marseille comes with two shorter handles for your convenience. Available only in limited quantities, Luxe Prima Marseille is first available to order September 1st. Please check back for pricing and to place your order here.

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

Posted on August 24, 2012 by Kat McCarthy

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)

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. 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!

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.

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!

Maybe 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 of the newest fall fashions appeals most to you? Will you go for the entire look head to toe? Or just incorporate some of the inspirations in your accessories? I’d love to know what you are thinking! Please just click on the comment bubble to the right of the title of this post and let me know!

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

Posted on August 21, 2012 by Kat McCarthy

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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!

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.

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?

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!

All you need do is to place an order of $70 or more in product (before shipping and sales tax) through my website, or by phone, and then send me an e-mail stating your preferrence for the purse charm I will send you. Would you rather antique brass or silver?

Just place your order of $70 or more in product (before shipping and tax) through my online Miche store or by phone – 760.845.0621. Let me know whether you prefer the antique brass or the silver based purse charm, and I will have it sent right out for you.

Miche and me About Town: Demi Reyna and the SD Floral Association

Posted on July 20, 2012 by Kat McCarthy

Miche Demi Reyna and I discovered a wondrous treasure down town – The San Diego Floral Association. This is the oldest garden club in southern California, and is the keeper of much gardening and architectural lore of the San Diego area going back well before it was part of the United States. It felt like entering a temple and stepping back in time to a secret realm where living beauty is held sacred.

There is so much to learn there, and we barely scratched the surface. But it was inspiring and incredibly peaceful simply contemplating the beauty of the natural world, and our place and participation in it.

I didn’t want to leave! But eventually we had to go. As we did, I found myself seeing my surroundings with a fresh eye - truly appreciating little beautiful details I had not noticed previously. The lush plantings along the boulevards and even in the parking areas. The colorful bouganville and agapanthus in full glory that we take so for granted. Even how very nice working air conditioning and a good cd are on a long drive home!

I think that was the real lesson of the day – to appreciate goodness and beauty in big things and small in my daily life. Miche Demi Reyna was looking her lustrous best, with her deep, rich fuchsia tones perfectly complemented and contrasted in the color and texture of the Black Rope Handles and the bit of bling she wore – the Miche Taffy purse charmer. There was a time in my life when a dumpy sack on a strap was all I could call a purse. How fortunate I am to be at this point in my life, able to enjoy little lovely luxuries every day.

So tell me – what little beauties are you enjoying in your life? I am going to try to be more observant and appreciative of the goodness in my life. Something tells me the more I count my blessings, the more blessings I will find to count!

If you ever have questions or comments, please contact me, Kat your Miche Representative. To let me know what blessings and beauties you are enjoying, or to let me know what you and your Miche bag are up to, just click on the bubble to the right of the title of this post and type away! Or write to me at [email protected].

Until Tuesday ~ Enjoy the beauty in every day!

Miche Bags ~ An Insider’s tips for a well-dressed Miche Bag!

Posted on June 12, 2012 by Kat McCarthy

The Miche Bag is all about Endless Possibilities for each and every purse ~ and every woman. I am going to show you how and when I use pockets, fashion handles, charms and more to create a look for my Miche Bag that is both polished and my own. I hope you will share your own ideas for dressing your Miche Bag! Please click on the comment bubble above just to the right of the title of this post and let me know your favorite combinations.

The Miche Pockets for the flat-sided Classic shells (pockets available in both black and brown) are the unsung fashion accessory of the Miche Bag line. Simply slide the pocket onto the Classic Base before adding a flat-sided shell for extra storage and a streamlined appearance. Some women love the style and look of the flat-sided, fold over shells, but refuse to consider them. They want and need the additional storage provided by the built-in end pockets provided by the pull on style as demonstrated by Miche Classic Kandace below: I love the way this style of pull on shell completely changes the silhouette of the entire bag, but Miche has created pockets that add storage while retaining the sleek lines of the fold-over shells. This also gives a more polished look to the ends of the bag as demonstrated with Miche Classic Cinthia below. On the left, Miche Classic Cinthia without the pocket. On the right, see the end closed in with the black pocket.

Gathered faux leather covers the open end of the purse, adding a pocket to each side to fit a cell phone, calculator, compact, lipstick, etc. To order your Miche Pockets in black or brown, click here. I always use the pockets with any open-sided, fold over Classic shell, for the finished look it gives as well as the extra storage.

I know I have gone on (and on) about my love for the Miche Rope Handles in black and pewter. The Miche Black Rope Handles are back in stock and available to order in my Online Store! I think they add a level of refinement and sophistication to every sized Miche Bag and nearly every shell.

For the Petite, I think the Miche Rope Handle is not out of scale, and changes the feel from perhaps a little girl’s purse, to a chic purse a woman would carry. See Miche Petite Skylar right with the black rope handle.

Maybe I am just harder on my purse than many, but I find the slender handle that comes with the Miche Petite Base feels a bit fragile for every day use. With the Miche Rope Handle, the Miche Petite and I are great friends for busy day trips or a night on the town.

For the Miche Classic Bag, I find the rope handles turn a strictly hand-bag into a stylish purse that fits comfortably over my shoulder. At the same time, they enhance the style of the bag. I think they are the only embellishment needed to make the oh-so-elegant Elizabeth or the flirty Cinthia look their very, very best.

(Each of these Classics shown below has the pockets added.)

On the left, Miche Classic Elizabeth is even more beautiful with her black floral detailing set off by the Miche Black Rope Handles. To the right, Miche Classic Cinthia’s silver tones are beautifully echoed by the Miche Rope Handles in Pewter. You can further play with the look and the length by creating a short chain of carabiner rings between the handles and the purse. On the right, I have used 3 1-inch carabiner rings at each end of the Black Rope Handles on Miche Classic Jasmine. To my eye, this adds a somewhat funky vibe that I feel compliments the exotic pattern of Jasmine. But I use just the Rope Handles with 1 carabiner ring for the more refined Elizabeth and Cinthia.

I think the Miche Chain Handles in black or brown add an edgier feel to any purse, and I love their look with the Miche Classic Hope Red (shown left).

Play with the different handle options to see which combination you like best. For instance, should the silver tones of Miche Demi Kinsley be matched or contrasted by the rope handle?

Pairing Miche Demi Kinsley with the Rope Handles in Pewter (right) is a very elegant combination.

Below, contrasting Miche Demi Kinsley with the Black Rope Handles is an edgier look.

I would probably add a different purse charm to Kinsley depending upon the handle I chose to accessorize the shell with. I would select Miche purse charmer Taffy in white to go with the silver handle. And probably a darker colored charm with contrasting colors when using the black.

For myself, I do not add a purse charm to a bag that is rich in detail like the four Classic shells shown above. I feel it would be gilding the lily, and the ruffles or the ornate pattern of the purse would not be enhanced by the addition of a purse charm.

Retired Miche Demi shell Margaret w/ Black Rope Handles and Taffy Charmer

Order Demi Margaret [email protected] – in stock!

I do like to add some bling to the more tailored styles like the Kinsley above or to Miche Demi Margaret shown right with Miche charmer Taffy. I do have retired Miche Demi shell Margaret available to order in my personal inventory! Just contact me to order Miche Demi Margaret!

When I use the Miche Rope Handles with the Demi size Miche Bag, I like to use it as a single handle to further add to the hobo style of the line of the bag. I also use two carabiner rings at each end of the rope handle to ensure the rope lies flat. I use a 1.5 inch carabiner ring attached to the purse, and a 1 inch ring to link it to the handle. I like the proportions and added detail this reduction in scale gives to the look of the bag. I do have retired Miche Demi shell Margaret available to order! Just contact me to order Miche Demi Margaret! To order Miche Demi Margaret call me at 760.845.0621 or at [email protected]

Miche Bags : Express yourself with Color : Free Bling w/ $60 order!

Posted on June 5, 2012 by Kat McCarthy

** Free Purse Charm with $60 order! See details below. **

How to incorporate color into your style easily and affordably… Some of us love color, but are unsure of how to use it in fashion. On the other hand, we also don’t want to go broke by investing in an entire new wardrobe every time the color trends change. So while we admire others with a colorful flair, or dream of indulging in the luscious hues available, we always wind up playing it safe with the neutral colors we feel comfortable with.

This is a good place to start! Feeling comfortable with your look is the second step to looking great! (The first step is good health. Shiny hair, great smile, beautiful skin, nice figure — all these start with good health). So start with strong pieces in neutral shades to make a good looking outfit that flatters you and you feel good in. Neutal does not mean boring!

Each of these demonstration outfits will start with the same four foundation pieces shown above. A good pair of jeans, an ivory lace tee, a beautiful khaki jacket and great shoes in carmel. Each of these pieces is stylish and flexible in part because they are classic in nature – they will never go out of style, and in part because each is a neutral color. All shades of white, black, brown and denim blue as well as metallic gold and silver are considered fashion neutrals, which means any other color will go well with them. If you are unsure of your use of color, invest in good pieces that you love in neutral colors.

Then you can add a few colorful accessories in the same hues to add personality to the outfit and experiment with expressing yourself through color. Above, Miche Demi Margaret (still available in my inventory) sets the teal color tone followed by the bracelet, earrings and pendant. Below, I added rich coral tones in the Miche Bag Patty, the bracelet, earrings and necklace.

This is not to say an all-neutral outfit complete with accessories in neutral shades should be avoided. It is a simple way to easy chic. Miche Demi Beverly in ivory, and jewelry in gold keep the colors all in the neutral shades, but gives it a finished look:

Most of all ~ have fun with color! When you are comfortable adding colorful accessories to an outfit of neutrals, you can explore complimentary colors, and using a color wheel to determine good color combinations and accents. We will be discussing the use of color again and in greater depth in future posts. For now, have fun! And when you are more comfortable using color, just dive right in and make a splash!

Note how even these lavish displays of color are anchored with neutral shades.

The handbags used in the demonstrations above are all the Miche Demi bag with interchangeable shells. Miche Demi Patty is a pinky-coral color – bright and cheery. Miche Demi Beverly is a faux snakeskin in un-boring beige – a truly attention grabbing neutral. Miche Demi Margaret in the teal green is a lovely shell with a charming bow-tie detail in a complex shade of bluey-green. This is a retired shell that I have available in my personal inventory. If you want to order retired Miche Demi Margaret, contact me, and I will have her on her way to you.
