Patricia Nash Fall 15 Collection Preview @PatriciaNashBag

Mar 6

Posted by Events

I always love going to a preview of a designer that I have never heard of and I get to learn so much about a brand that is beautifully made, very on trend, and at a price point that will make the consumer think they got an amazing deal.

Knoxville, Tennessee based Designer Patricia Nash bases a lot of her collection on her extensive travels and uses the finest leathers all made in Italy. The quality is seen in the soft leather and in the details of each handbag.

The collection is extensive with a line of women’s, men’s, luggage, and small accessories. Prices range from about $100 for a small leather good to $498 for a weekender piece, with most totes and women’s bags falling in the $149 to $250 range.

For more info visit http://www.PatriciaNashDesigns.com to shop her current collection. Pieces below will be available later in the summer.

There is no shortage of salons right here in Manhattan so one would wonder why a trek, well a 7 minute train ride on the L train from Union Square to Bedford Avenue would be a necessity. Well, If you are person who is passionate about their nails and are into nail art then this the place for you. With four locations right now in Brooklyn, I visited the Williamsburg salon, the salon employs some of the most creative, talented, and friendly nail technicians I have ever come across.

With a specialty in gel nails, there are several brands of polish to choose from and thousands of designs available. The salon encourages customers to visit Instagram to choose a design or create one of their own. Customers can choose a regular manicure as well.

The salon also has a semi-outdoor garden in the back that is used for pedicures and it gives customers a serene peaceful feeling. Pedicures are offered with gel or regular polish.

Primp & Polish has been making a name for themselves this year with their presence at media events like beautypress and at a recent fashion week style lounge at The Empire Hotel across from the Fashion Shows on Lincoln Center.
