It's All About Alexa

 Today Seattle was graced with the first snow of the season. There's something about watching those little fluffy flakes fall that make me want to curl up with a blanket by the fire. So that's just what I did. I settled on the appropriately themed chick flick The Holiday to set the mood. It was during the film which is set part of the time in LA and part in Surrey England that I began to think about Alexa again. You see she has been on my mind for quite some time. Alexa is also from England. Somerset England in fact and if I am lucky she might just show up under the tree for Christmas this year. Who is Alexa? Allow me to fill you in. Created by the well known luxury retailer Mulberry, this handbag made from soft buffalo leather was created and named for Bristish style icon Alexa Chung. Alexa is the chicest messenger bag around! It can be carried over the shoulder, across the body or can be carried in the crook of the arm. This bag can be dressed up or dressed down as MTV's The City's Olivia Palermo shows us below.

It's been seen on the arm of Leighton Meester from Gossip Girl, Katie Holmes and of course Alexa Chung. It comes in a variety of colors from my favorite the Oak to Plum and Grape. It is offered in two sizes, the original and the over sized. The original is offered at $1,150 and can be found here http://www.mulberry.com/#/storefront/c5581/4299/category/ or here http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/94465.  If the Alexa isn't in your price bracket this year then you are in luck. Mulberry has teamed with Target to do a less expensive version of some of their most popular bags. Prices range from $15 to $40.
