Rebecca Minkoff Shoes

It's been unusually warm this past week in San Francisco and it's given me a huge taste of spring fever. Granted today is back to it's windy and cold self, I still find myself vying for sandals and flats to enjoy the sunshine in. Rebecca Minkoff, known for all her handbags has ventured into shoes this spring! My favorites are the Caroline ($250) with the hot back zipper, M.A.B. flats ($185) with almond leather panel at toe (just like her bags!), and the Foxy Cut-Out ($295). All of the shoes are available now for pre-order. See all Rebecca Minkoff shoes.

Nicole Richie and her Vintage Chanel Bags

Speaking of Nicole Richie today, I was so happy she graces February's Lucky Magazine cover. I loved reading the interview with her inside about her new Winter Kate apparel line as well as her House of Harlow 1960 jewelry line, including how she handles all her work with her two kids. Lucky has a fantastic feature on their site covering Nicole Richie's favorite things which includes all the photos from the magazine article online.

Here's what I'm drooling over. Her collection of vintage Chanel bags which she says she has around 30 in the article. "I'm a huge collector of vintage Chanel bags. My mom has given me a lot of the ones she had in the '70s," says Richie.

Richie adds,"These pink sunglasses are a favorite pair. Alexander McQueen scarves are the most perfect accessories ever, and my notepad—I'm a total Virgo, obsessed with making lists."
