April 23rd, 2008 by thedailyobsession

How many of you love Kooba? We certainly do! As the designer and creative director of Kooba, Abbe Held has a pulse on the latest and greatest trends. But let’s rewind to be the beginning, shall we? After college, she started out working in public relations and sales for luxury brands like DKNY. Before long, she was ready to move onto the next step: launching her own line of accessories! Today, Kooba is a fully developed brand that includes both accessories and ready-to-wear. You can count celebrities like Debra Messing and Jessica Alba as fans; her line has also been photographed in countless publications from Elle to Lucky. Now, are you ready to find out what Abbe’s current obsessions are? Click to find out!

ONE. Biolage Curl-Defining Crème — I never have time to blow dry my hair and always run out of the house with my hair sopping wet – this curl cream saves me!

TWO. Havaianas — For myself and my kids. They are so easy to pack and they are great for travel. My daughters love them and whatever my kids love, I love!

THREE. My daughters’ new karaoke machine — It was meant for them, but now the whole family is addicted to it. We use it every Saturday morning and laugh for hours.

FOUR. Kooba’s Nelli Bag in Blue — What can I say? I’m somewhat biased…but I love carrying it!

FIVE. La Esquina’s beef tacos — The atmosphere at La Esquina is great and I dream of the steak tacos.
