Today my Daily Candy email (for Chicago) featured Rachel Nasvik:
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, serif][SIZE=-1]That Seventies Bag
Aristotle said it: Moderation rules.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, serif][SIZE=-1]Whether its a fourth margarita or a jean-on-jean Texas tuxedo, too much of a good thing is a bad idea.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, serif][SIZE=-1]Designer Rachel Nasvik applies that wisdom to her line of 70s-chic bags. Though shes admittedly inspired by the decade of Afros, love beads, and The Fonz, Nasvik stops short of a complete flashback by infusing her creations with a modern twist. The result: beauties like the Bianca bag, a leather hobo with suede patches outside (so thrift) and zippered pockets inside (so BlackBerry friendly).[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, serif][SIZE=-1]The collection features everything from cream-lined clutches (the Jancy) to roomy, open totes (the Tabitha). Most styles are available in whiskey brown, butter, or parrot green leather with a silky, electric blue lining for a splash of sass. Next on Nasviks agenda: cosmetics bags and wallets.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, serif][SIZE=-1]Because no matter what a wise man once said, a girl can never have too many accessories.[/SIZE][/FONT]

Available at Language, 1537 North Milwaukee Avenue, between North Avenue and Division Street (773-772-5744 or language-chicago.com); online at rachelnasvik.com.[/SIZE][/FONT]
