Just in from Milano 24kt gilded python cuffs. The inspiration for my jewelry comes from the architecture of Paris and colors from nature. I love flowers, the deeper and richer the colors the better.

My new intern has been at the studio for about 14 weeks now and has shown a keen sense of design, color trending and overall direction for the upcoming collections. She does have a tendency to prefer the color pink in all variations with a splash of purple. So you can get an idea of what is coming for Conner Whitlock. . .

I was so happy to see Marin Magazine showcase Conner Whitlock in its recent Summer Guide. In the "White Hot for Summer" section, my white Ostrich L’Opera bag was featured. Hand-made by my Paris Atelier, this bag along with my 24 kt gold-gilded cuffs inset with calf hair, exotics and more are currently available at Shoe Stories of Sausalito! Wayne Kalleck, the impeccable curator of luxury shoes and accessories, selected my design for the special issue — what an honor. And what better color to complement your vibrant, crazy prints for a very modern look. . . white Ostrich is pure perfection. Oh, la, la!

Late Spring I had the pleasure of showing my collection at Spa Radiance in San Francisco. The owner, Angelina Umansky, has created a little bit of Paris on Fillmore -- the perfect spot to showcase my luxury goods. Currently they are carrying my mink and calf hair cuffs, 24k gold gilded from Milano. The cuffs are selling like hotcakes (or should I say crepes)! If you want beautiful skin, have Angelina give you a personal facial . . .oh la la!

I love the photo of the two of us, I can’t believe I was almost 8 months pregnant with Baby Chloé at the time!

Shoe Stories of Sausalito has expanded the Conner Whitlock collection including our 24K gold gilded arm cuffs in mink, crocodile, and printed calf hair. Handcrafted at my atelier in Paris, L’Opera bag has been turning heads with the boutique’s international luxury clientele. I feel so honored to be showcased alongside Valentino and Cavalli as the only American designer being featured in Wayne Kaleck’s quintessential Sausalito shrine of women’s luxury.

My New New Year's wish is already coming true with the Conner Whitlock collection being showcased at Shoe Stories of Sausalito. Wayne Kaleck is a master curator of beautiful luxury goods, and his bespoke boutique in historic downtown Sausalito is an absolute emporium of elegance. He graciously invited me to drop by to preview a few of my favorite pieces. To my delight, on the spot he selected several handbags to distribute in his store. A couple of days later I was still in disbelief at his unexpected acceptance, so I drove by after hours to peek in his window. What an overwhelming honor to witness the above window display where he paired one of my bags with the perfect shoe -- what girl doesn't like a little zebra with polka dots! Wayne really gets luxury, and I'm thrilled that he gets my collection.
