Jimmy Choo Tube Leopard-Print Clutch
Bored with black? Solids not your thing? You certainly can’t accuse Jimmy Choo’s Tube Leopard-Print Clutch of being boring. The burn-your-retinas-bright pink leopard-print clutch is one festy little purse, perfect for giving your outfit a funky and out there kick. Of course, the flip side is that it’s not terribly practical – how many outfits can you wear it with, really? I dig the design, but doubt I’d get much mileage. Available at Net-a-Porter
Journeys with Jewelry
It took me awhile to learn to wear jewelry. Not that I didn’t enjoy it, I just found it to be too much of a hassle to have to keep a variety on hand to cater to each occasion. On top of that, it seemed like the times that I felt the most “naked” without a few sparkling accessories were when I was traveling. And this meant I would have had to plan out and find a proper way to transport my jewelry as well.
For awhile I used a Ziploc bag, but then my bracelets and necklaces ended up looking like a huge spaghetti knot after their journey via the hands of luggage handlers.
When I moved onto one of the little gift boxes necklaces came in I only had room for about three small items… having easy access was nice, but as fate would have it the last piece I took out while packing was always the one I would need…
I have finally found my solution thanks to Rowallan’s Joan Jewelry case.
With its vivid pink color I won’t have to worry about losing it in my luggage or leaving it behind when it’s time to leave. The size is perfect, with enough room to have a nice selection, compartments to keep my pieces organized and is still small enough to stash in my suitcase with ease.
Blake Lively Looks Gloomy with a Prada Purse
A mannequin in the middle of the street… that’s what Blake Lively looks like while shooting for the Gossip Girl season three, which will start airing on September.
But although she’s on a set, I don’t think she is acting as this was photographed (since you can see the people behind Gossip Girl on her background) or perhaps, she’s just too tired for the day?
Anyway, I love her Prada purse, but I don’t think it matches well with her very sexy and body-hugging burgundy minidress. But if I were to wear her entire getup, I’d surely put on some smile on my face… lucky girl, eh? Despite that gloomy facade anyway, Blake Lively still managed to look really fierce and yet feminine.
The Prada purse looks charming and its mint green shade, which seems to come in crackled leather, is just so appealing. It is obviously plain, but the ruched detailing is already enough to give it a slight variation in style and texture. I think it would be a great day to night time purse, paired with a block-colored shift dress for a touch of boldness on your entirety.
Functionally Chic D&G Miss Bye Bye Patent Leather Tote
Dolce and Gabbana continues with their Miss Bye Bye Tote in this new version coming in patent leather. It is simple and refined, yet it could still bring stunning appeal on your entire ensemble. This also creates its polished look that is enough to keep your every outfit a bit elegant despite its casual, everyday purpose.
This tote comes in high-glossy patent leather and though it comes classic in shape and it doesn’t have that much design, the shiny effect of it already keeps this bag appealing and chic. Just like other Miss Bye Bye Tote, this also has double piping and bands that somewhat showcase the embossed logo plaque on the center front.
It’s a good thing that this tote doesn’t have any closure as it would let you pack it with more than just your daily necessities. It is sized at about 14¼ x 11 x 6½ inches plus it has inside zipped and cell phone pockets for more storage. The strap drop is about 10 inches, and it is definitely enough to fit just perfectly over your shoulders.
This Dolce and Gabbana Miss Bye Bye Patent Leather Tote is priced at about $895 and it should be reasonable and worth it for a bag that is functional and chic at the same time.
Kate Walsh Dolled Up Her Look with a Chanel Purse
Kate Walsh combines ragged and sophisticated appeal in this ensemble. Her chiffon blouse is simply elegant, and with a pulled back hair… she simply managed to show a total polished look. But don’t be fooled if you see her inside her car because once she steps down, you are to see a very casual and laid-back summery distressed shorts and high wedges.
The combination may be a little awkward, but perhaps she simply wants to show elegance while being trendy for the summer. Adding to that, the Chanel handbag makes the cream of the crop on her entirety. It looks very luscious and sumptuous in its cream shade and the combination of silver-tone chain and hardware surely makes it even more luxurious.
Perhaps it would pull an even more elegant look if she paired her chiffon blouse and Chanel bag with a pencil skirt plus a nice pump to go with.
Rock n’ Roll with Jimmy Choo Ramona Studded Leather Bag
You might have probably noticed that most of Jimmy Choo’s creations pull tough appeal. Such is the case of this Jimmy Choo Ramona Studded Leather Bag, which, at the same time, looks very elegant in its black and gold-tone combination as well.
This is obviously crafted from black leather, and that already guarantees timeless appeal for this bag. But so as not to make it look too classic, gold-tone hardware and gold-tone studs are placed all over the bag. You know that this gives its rock n’ roll glamour, making it really interesting even for everyday use. These studs appear in triangular shapes all throughout the front and back, though from afar it may appear printed.
This bag opens through the fold-over central logo-embossed buckle strap; and it can be tightened through the double leather drawstring top with gold-tone eyelets, depending on how much you stuff this bag with.
You know this Jimmy Choo Ramona Studded Leather Bag won’t sell cheap, considering its timeless and chic appeal and the fact that it is from Jimmy Choo. With that, the tag of $3,125 should not anymore come as a surprise.
Braided Leather Tote: Another Timeless Carryall from Salvatore Ferragamo
Add this Salvatore Ferragamo Braided Leather Tote to your growing number of sophisticated and lasting carryall and you are definitely sure not to regret a thing. Same appeal goes as with other Ferragamo creations, thus making this another worthy yet even more exceptional addition to your collection.
This comes in smoothly textured leather and in luxurious design that kind of looks a bit plain; yet, that makes this bag even more timeless and needless to say, versatile. It is actually not plain considering that is has delicate pleats that look cinched through the braided detail on the front.
This braided detailing is actually their signature logo design that usually comes in metal hardware. It is quite large on the front, and it should then be enough to make it the bag’s stylish branding.
This bag measures about 18½ x 11 x 4 inches, and it opens through a zip along the top. On the inside is a contrast satin lining plus zipped and three open pockets for storage. The handles of seven-inch drop are also braided, letting you get a grip of the bag easily.
Just like other Ferragamo items, this Salvatore Ferragamo Braided Leather Tote is also expensive at $1,690. It is not surprising, and besides, you know this would be a worthy purchase.
Lindsay Lohan wants Boho, Girly, and Exotic at the same time
There are times that I dig up Lindsay Lohan’s ensemble, yet there are also times that I’m totally not feeling her outfit. This time, I caught myself a little confused whether or not I like her ragged outfit.
I can say that it is simple and very casual because of her torn jeans and white loose top, but the jacket, her fedora hat, and her bags kind of implies too much styling.
I actually love her baby blue jacket since it turned her simple outfit rocking, along with the hat. But what actually made this whole picture looks odd is that she’s actually carrying three bags. On her right shoulder is a fringed bag, which somewhat creates a boho-chic appeal on her entirety; while on her left arm you can see the pink Gucci purse and the exotic Pauric Sweeney handbag swinging.
I guess the fringed bag could already complete her getup as it perfectly matches the color of her ensemble, though the exoticness of the Pauric Sweeney bag adds spice and more appeal on her. The Gucci bag looks interesting, but it seems too girly and kind of youthful for Lindsay’s fashion flair.
So anyway, perhaps Lindsay is too busy that she really needs to have all three bags at the same time to carry her stuff. But why can’t she just carry one large bag for easier and more comfortable means?
Nancy Gonzalez Brings an Exotic Crocodile Striped Tote
We’ve been seeing a lot of stripes design lately and most of them come in a combination of leather and suede. While we do not know the reason behind this trend, still, we can’t help but find those designs interesting. This Nancy Gonzalez Crocodile Striped Tote comes as no exception to that.
Well of course, coming from Nancy Gonzalez, you know this bag is crafted from Caiman fuscus crocodile, replacing the leather material on most striped-designed bags.
Still, this has suede panelling, completing a luxe and sumptuous slim vertical panel design on this bag and adding texture on its totality. At the top is a wider band of crocodile material, accented with drawstring-like effect that creates the pleating on the sides.
With dimensions of about 14 x 14 x 7 inches, this bag should already bring you enough space to carry your stuff. It actually has a magnetic flap closure, which is not evident on the exterior part. It opens through a suede lining with zipped and three open pockets for extra room. It is complete with self-covered feet and double handles of about eight-inch drop.
You know that Nancy Gonzalez creations retail expensively, so the tag of this Nancy Gonzalez Crocodile Striped Tote, which costs about $2,750, is not anymore surprising.
Hand-stitching makes this Dior Granville Medium Tote Brilliant
Dior is known for their signature cannage quilting design. This time, they’ve given their classic pattern a little twist to make it even more appealing and more luxurious. This Dior Granville Handstitched Medium Tote is actually part of their fall collection, and this is perhaps one of the few that really stands out.
What’s so new and interesting about this bag is that it has hand-stitched cannage detailing. It doesn’t come structured and the irregularity and 3D effect of the pattern definitely makes this even more appealing. Of course, silver-tone hardware completes its luxurious totality, which you can find on the loops and on the hanging DIOR charms.
The shape of this bag is also quite off the tradition with its hour glass curves on top. Measuring at about 11¼ x 13¼ x 6¼ inches, this cutesy should be enough to carry your daily basic needs.
It has a zip along the top, and the “hour-glass” shape can actually be folded over, just like on other convertible bags we have these days. This gives you an option of whether carrying it as a handbag through its top handles with rings and 3¾-inch drop or as a shoulder bag through its detachable 44-inch strap.
Available in pearl grey and black colors, this Dior Granville Handstitched Medium Tote should really add glam and elegance to every ensemble. Perhaps all the hand-crafted detail on this bag is what makes it retail expensively for $2,350.
