Life in Europa!

What I have learned since moving to Europe...
1. SLOW DOWN (but not on the road)
2. Appreciate how much of a miracle babies really are.
3. Bigger is not always better
4. Shoes are a status symbol.
5. DO NOT under estimate the power of cafe.

LA DOLCE VITA

Living in Italy is certainly a dream come true. The people, the vino, the landscape......and lets not forget THE SHOPPING! One fabulous company I have stumbled upon is Francesco Biasia. Their bags are incredibly beautiful made with top of the line leather. What I like best, however, is the thought of function put into the design of each bag. There is a pocket every where you need one and the straps are comfortable but it continues to have a streamlined chic look. The latest fashion in purses I have found is a woven leather look as well as any kind of metallic material. Add this incredible "python detail" and all eyes will be on you...well, at least your purse. Ciao Bella

MoZart

More beautiful earrings available from MoZart. Bellissima!!

MoZart

We are excited to add pieces from an amazing artist, Maureen Crone. She has spent half of her life either on an island or in Italy (and for awhile, on an island in Italy), so those two locales are evident inspirations in her jewelry design and painting. Her pieces are one of a kind and we are honored to share them with the world.

We're back

We are now shipping from Italy! Thank you for bearing with us through our transition. Paypal is the only method of payment we now accept. If you are not familiar with Paypal...fear not. It is an unbelievably easy way to shop and easy to set up. Its more secure than using credit cards. Check it out at www.paypal.com.

Ciao Bella

We have moved to Italia for a few years and are not taking orders at this time. We thank our customers for their past support and look forward to working with you again in the future. We are finding new and exciting European products to purchase while we are here to bring back to the US when we return. Feel free to email us with any upgrades/options you wish to see on our new site when we return. Our email is customerservice@thedapperdarling.com.

Ho Ho Ho!!!!

Happy Holidays! During this hectic time of year, don’t forget to enjoy the season. It is easy to get caught up in complaining about gifts, money, traffic and travel and quirky office parties. When feeling overwhelmed, take a deep breath and count to ten. Make your mind clear and your body relax. Take a warm bath, drink hot chocolate or get a massage. My favorite thing to do is sing as loud as I can and as badly as I can to my favorite songs! Singing is a proven stress reliever, not to mention the people in the car next to me get quite a laugh. Happy Holidays to you and yours during this wonderful season!

Kickin' it at THE BOOT

Norfolk Virginia is full of historic charm, amazing museums and fabulous restaurants. If you ever find yourself in this amazing city you must visit my favorite dining establishment, The Boot. They focus on local goods, working to explore and preserve fine Virginia heritage food-ways. The menu depicts inspiration of Italian cuisine yet works closely with Virginia farmers and artisans to bring the freshest ingredients of the season to the table. Their space is also a music venue housing various traveling and local acts which in turn nurtures the growing music scene of this fair city. Their goal is to create experiences that stand out from the commercial monoculture with inspirational food, music and art.
