In Transit:

The transition from Summer to Fall can be tricky to navigate! Gone are the flirty florals and flimsy frocks and in come trousers, coats, and mountains of can't believe it's faux fur. Looking for a single accessory to get you through? Take a cue from these celeb looks we found in People Style Watch and add a camel colored hand bag to any (seriously ANY) outfit for an instant dose of on trend transitional cool.

Morgan - $87

NY STYLE

Take a Walk: NYC #1 from TrendLand on Vimeo.

We are loving the first installment in a weekly series by trendland.net that captures style savvy New Yorker's in the midst of their daily routines. It is hard to believe that people walk around all day being this fashionable but here's proof! We can't wait to see what they have in store for us with their next vid.

Director of Sales Lorraine Beltran recently had her own foray into being stylish in New York when we exhibited at the Accessories The Show trade show. She brought us back all the dirt on which bags the east coast ladies were fighting to get their hands on and now we are bringing it to you! Go ahead, unleash your inner uptown fashionista:

Esther - $81



Lori - $76




Megan - $87





XOXO,

Introducing: Melie Girls!

We at Melie Bianco have spent countless hours making sure we know you, and exactly what it is you want in a hand bag. But until now, none of you have ever really gotten the chance to get to know us! Over the next few weeks you will start to see some Bios pop up on our blog about some of the Melie Girls here at the office.

We are the ones who help your handbag go from a glimpse of inspiration, a floating idea, to a full fledged handbag, and then all the way to your arms. You will also meet some of the people who help answer your questions before and after!

I think the best place to start would be with not only a Melie Girl....but THE Melie Girl. Melie herself, founder/creator/lead designer Melissa Song:


Name: Melissa

Title: FOUNDER

Favorite thing about working at Melie Bianco: Being able to create and offer amazing, affordable, and quality bags inspired by the runways but for the every day woman.

Favorite Designer: TOO MANY TO LIST!

Favorite Melie Bag: All of them! It's like asking a parent who their favorite child is.

Favorite Movie: A Room with a View. It's a classic. I am a romantic at heart! I also like films based on classic novels, so whenever PBS runs Masterpiece Theater I make sure that I don't miss it.

Favorite Memory: THE DAY I MET MY HUSBAND!

Summer Trend you are most excited about: Feminine accents (such as: bows, flowers, ruffles, etc…) and also studs. Both trends will continue for Fall 2010.

Summer Trend you wish would go away: TIE DYE!

What music are you listening to? Lounge and World Music.

What inspires you? TRAVELING!
