Over 80 of the exquisite Iris Apfel's ensembles are currently on display at the
Peabody Essex Museum in Salem Massachusetts. Gah! We're dying to see this amazing collection. This lady knows color! She's the best at mixing clothing and large, chunky baubles. Ms. Apfel is not afraid to pair high end fashion with flea market finds. A woman to truly admire for her original sense of style and impeccable business sense.
Iris got her start in interior design and soon opened a textile company with her husband called Old World Weavers. They created the most amazing textile pieces for the likes of Dorothy Draper, Marjorie Meriwether Post, and Estee Lauder.
But, it is Iris' unique sense of style that keeps her in the spotlight today. Here are some of our favorite looks. Photos courtesy of the
Peabody Essex Museum, Oprah Magazine, and the Daily Telegraph.
If Iris were to ever visit our shop (gasp!) we imagine she might be drawn to these great, colorful bags.

Anita Pallenberg, the model and actress best known for her long-term relationship with Keith Richards, has influenced fashion trends for years. You can see her style reflected in the outfits of today's starlets such as Sienna Miller, Nicole Richie and Rachel Zoe. We love her fashion forward looks and could see most of these ensembles on modern day girls. We love the space age look of the above piece. The gloves top it off making it more glam than trashy.
This look could be easily paired with the Fullum & Holt bag below.

Fullum & Holt Ribbed Tote
Available in Black and White

This look is so 70s chic. We're especially loving the large cocktail ring. The vibrant colors are fitting for this pucci inspired era. We'd pair the outfit with these great bags.

Jalda Aida Tote
Available in Purple and Black

Gerard Darel 24 Hour Bag
Available in Chocolate, Gray, Navy and Shiny Black

We want this entire outfit! Well, maybe we'd get rid of the boa. From the dress, to the boots to the belt, this is so right now. She just needs a great bag to top it off. We'd suggest these:
