Jenna Kator Handbags



Jenna Kator Handbag Collection Now Available at City Style!
From time to time we come across a product that really moves us and touches something in us that makes us say to ourselves..."This is Us", "This is City Style", "This is what we are About", and we are so excited to introduce and now carry the Jenna Kator Handbag Collection at City Style! Why you ask? Because being a lifelong resident of Michigan, born in Detroit, I'm sensitive to our plight here and am fully aware of the way our State and our largest City are viewed by the rest of the country and maybe even the world for that matter. With all the negatives always talked about, I choose to focus on the positives. The culture, the beauty of our State, our resilience, our passions, our music, our strength as people. Now Jenna Kator...Jenna was raised in Troy, MI and now resides in Livonia, MI. She lost her job in the Automotive Industry a year ago and decided to pull her boot straps up and pursue a passion of hers and developed her own handbag line! The best part is that each style is named after a Michigan city, i.e. the Bloomfield, the Birmingham, the Grosse Pointe, the Royal Oak, etc...What's more, they are beautiful bags and come in a wide color range. Each bag comes with a fabric storage bag, many come with extra straps as well as a card that tells about the city it was named after. Now this isn't the first time a handbag has been named after an American city but to my knowledge, no designer has used Michigan as their choice of inspiration and named the bags after Michigan cities. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. City Style fully supports Jenna's endeavor and we are proud to carry a full variety of these handbags. I currently carry Charlevoix, what City will you carry?

Harvey's and City Style hit Vegas Baby!


January and February are dreary months at best here in the Midwest but it's also Trade Show season for Retailers and this is when we travel near and far looking for the extra special merchandise that lands on our shelves here at City Style. This month we went to Vegas and hit up the 'Project/Magic Show' for shoes and apparel as well as the trade show called 'Accessories the Show' looking for handbags and jewelry. Among the hundreds and thousands of brands, we met with our favorite handbag company, Harvey's, who produce the Made in the USA Original Seatbelt Bags. This company blows my mind with their innovative and stylish designs and they are becoming quite the coveted bags indeed; now often sought out by fashion divas who currently or formerly collect the Coach brand. What makes these bags so special, besides their obvious cool style, is the fact that they are made in the good ol' USA and have a Lifetime Guarantee. They are constructed using real Automotive grade seatbelts and come in all sorts of colors, sizes and prints. We are big supporters of this little USA company and are constantly getting new product as it doesn't last long on our shelves as they are quickly swept away by Harvey's collectors in the Metro Detroit area. Did I mention the people that work for this company are as nice as their product! City Style loves ya Harvey's!

Hey Cowgirl!

Don't have cowgirl boots yet? Stop by City Style and we'll take care of you. Cowgirl boots are all the rage right now, especially the short shafted boots which are cute with jeans, skirts or sundresses. You want color, pick your pleasure and I'm sure we can find you some colorful boots. Nicole, one of our favorite brands here at City Style, has cowgirl shoeties and boots in a wide range of colors, i.e. pink, red, pewter, yellow, green, and of course brown and black. I chose the shoetie in red for myself but love them all really...you can't have too many can you? This fashion trend is very strong now and will last at the very least through summer and fall 2010. Here we have Passionate and Persuasive by Nicole...Yeee Hawwww!

I love my red shoeties...Click, Click, Click...there's no place like City Style, there's no place like City Style...

It's Party Time!

As the holidays approach the calendar starts to fill with house parties, office parties, holiday shows/concerts and friend and family gatherings. So hmmmm, what to wear?


This year shoes lift our spirits with eye catching show stopping style and fun. But at City Style it won't break the bank to add a pair to your collection. Madeline gives us three awesome styles to pair with the LBD (little black dress), or a pencil skirt would be chic with a bedazzled top; or heck, keep it low key, wear slacks or jeans and pump up the volume with any one of these fabulous finds all under $100 at just $59-$69! All in stock at City Style!
Georgi, Vavoom & Giggle by Madeline

All of these styles are available in other colors such as red, khaki and gold...your wish is our command!
So, get your party pants on girls and take one of these beauties out on the town!

Blondo Boots Arrive!



Blondo Boots Have Arrived!

We have added Blondo to our winter boot selections this year as they are the finest waterproof leather boots I've seen. Blondo is a Canadian company using the finest most supple leather and shearling available. The leather has been waterproofed as well as the seams and they stand behind their product and we love that! We must have a thing for Canada as we seem to keep finding the best winter boots made across the border. We also sell Cougar winter boots which are Canadian also. Canada just knows how to do winter boots!
Oh, and we have a couple handbags from Blondo as well just in case you're a matchy matchy girl...yay Blondo!

We currently have four Blondo styles in stock at City Style and sizes up to 11. If you're into quality footwear, Blondo is for you! I would put them up against Ugg any day for quality and price...just sayin'.
