Christmas is my favorite time of the year!

And right now is the time for presents! The most important act is don’t panic, there are tons of gift ideas and suggestions. The best thing to do is create a list of “who needs presents”. Every day add a new present to your list. Then you will not get stuck looking for last minute gifts. Today was the opening ceremony after construction of St. Patrick’s  Cathedral on 5th ave, which opened in 1879. Every year more that 5 million visitors come to pray and light candles. After that special morning I decided to walk to the Trunk show of Mondrina. Monica Frisbie is the handbag designer. On the way there I got my espresso at NYC Palace Hotel, I can’t stop looking at the stunning Christmas tree! The fashion trunk show at Bloomingdales is only for three days, until December 14. You can find great pieces. I bought a designer bag by the brand Mondrina. One of the gifts from my list is done!

Here are the pictures from my day with Mondrina who creates beautiful, functional and socially responsible handbags combining luxe leathers and exotic skin with ancient textile and beading traditions from Peru that have been passed down through several generations. Each bag is a little treasure preserving  a story that you will enjoy on many adventures.
