Be Bold and Casual with Chloe Marlow Leather Satchel
Black and brown colored bags have been very common for casual styling so having one in a different shade could somehow freshen up the scene and make you standout in a way. That said, this Chloe Marlow Leather Satchel could definitely do the job.
It is in royal blue shade, which is a lot bolder than the neutrals, and looking at it will tell that this is indeed another of those casual carryalls. But despite being just a casual bag, this has an interesting silhouette, which will definitely catch your eye.
Other than that, a contrasting belt that wraps the top with gold-tone buckle and chain and two tiny luggage tags also add appeal and style to this bag, making it even more attractive.
This bag looks large enough for your everyday essentials. It also has a decorative zipper that wraps the base of this bag to complete, along with buckled strap details on the bottom sides. This Chloe Marlow Leather Satchel retails for $1,495, which is a little hefty, but perhaps considering its fresh and timeless design could make up for it.
Lady Gaga Rocks with an Yves Saint Laurent Handbag
“When I’m writing music, I’m thinking about the clothes I want to wear on stage. It’s all about everything altogether — performance art, pop performance art, fashion.” These are words coming from Lady Gaga herself, and that should speak as to why she dresses like that.
Indeed, her fashion styling is very outrageous yet interesting. Who could ever wear such outfit, aside from her, and travel the world wearing leotard and fishnets? Seeing her in PVC bra and pencil skirt is actually tamed already as compared to her other outfits.
And though she seems to lack coordination sometimes, the houndstooth scarf complements her attire this time. Needless to say, the obviously rocking Yves Saint Laurent handbag is also a perfect extra for her entirety.
The bag also comes in PVC like leather as it shows polished effect that matches her getup. The studs, forming the signature Y branding, definitely create its rock n’ roll vibe, which is just the perfect style for Lady Gaga.
I’m not totally digging her look anyway, but knowing how she dresses, we could say that this is already refined. Also, the only thing I’m coveting about her ensemble is definitely the Yves Saint Laurent bag.
Chloe Updates Daytripper Small Leather Shoulder Bag in Metallic
If you want Chloe’s classic bag design yet you also want to look trendy for the season, having this particular version of Chloe Daytripper Small Leather Shoulder Bag would surely do the job. We have already seen such style before, which is very classic and casual, but this one will surely create a hint of brilliance.
Literally, this bag shows brilliance since it is crafted from metallic calf skin leather in gold tone. And though the style still looks casual, at least this could somehow bring you additional class and elegance that can make this bag work not only for day time but also for after-dark parties. But so as not to make it look too showy, contrast leather trim then adds richness on its entire design.
Aside from being stylish, this bag is also a functional choice since it brings enough space for your essentials from its 9½ x 9 x 4 inches dimension and from the pockets it has on the interior and exterior with dazzling tonal zippers. The double handles and the shoulder strap also come in contrast leather, measuring about 6-inch drop and 14-inch drop, respectively.
Weighing in for $595, this Chloe Daytripper Small Leather Shoulder Bag will surely work a dazzling look on your every getup.
Simple and Snugly Tory Burch Amulet Messenger Bag
Looking for a perfect fall and winter carryall but not feeling the purple shade, which is a key-color for the season? Then probably you might want to try this Amulet Messenger Bag from Tory Burch. And since most messenger bags look casual, this as well looks as such although this also holds a hint of classiness and exceptionality among messenger bags.
Knitted fabric has always been popular for the fall and winter since such could bring warmth to anyone. Obviously, what makes this bag ideal for the said seasons is because of its cable-knit detailing on the front.
And though this bag isn’t something you can wear to cover your skin and keep you warm, you know that it still looks great for the season. This knitted design shows charming pattern that is enough to draw some eyes. It is also outlined in rich, complementary-hued leather to make sure of its durability and bring additional style to it.
Ironically, although this seems to look perfect for the cold season, the nautical logo crest at the bottom of the flap front kind of suggests summer. Sized at about 12½ x 11 x 3 inches, this bag has zip, slip and cell phone pockets on the inside for more storage. The top handle with seven inches drop is then accented with logo-embossed buckle detail.
This Tory Burch Amulet Messenger Bag will surely be a great choice for the season since aside from its interesting design, it is also not too expensive in pricing and retails for only $475.
Nicky Hilton Glamorizes Low-Key Outfit with Balenciaga Bag
Fashion model, entrepreneur, and fashion designer— these are what Nicky Hilton do the best. Connect it all together and it bottoms down to the fashion industry and being fashionable and stylish all at the same time.
That said, even wearing a very low-key outfit, which comprises of denim cut-offs, white tank top and black vest, she still managed to look stunning. And to make it even better and fascinating, she finished it all with a red Balenciaga bag.
Cutesy in dimension yet big in appeal, the bag is definitely the perfect complement to add color and femininity to her rather low-key outfit. Balenciaga has been the favorite designer bag among celebrities, so it’s no surprise for a fashionista and for a socialite like Nicky Hilton.
This bag seems to hold the same features and design of other Balenciaga creations of the same style, although this one is in small dimension. It has studs and fringes to complete, just enough design to make it fabulously stylish.
So if you also want to have a celebrity-like styling, having a Balenciaga bag would surely be a great choice.
Another Forever-Chic Versace Reve Mini Framed Leather Satchel
Combine 80’s flair with modern fashion as you bring this Versace Reve Mini Framed Leather Satchel. Aside from that, you’re guaranteed to exude sophistication and glamour, especially knowing that this is from Versace.
You know this bag is versatile and lasting, and for that, it should be worth its $2,995 price tag. Coming in patent and in ultra high-shine finish makes this bag already appealing and very modern.
The combination of silver-tone hardware also brings such vibe, though the silvery studs on the center kind of bring 80s feel to it. These studs and the gleaming, logo embossed metal frame also add polished effect on its entirety, letting it show more luxe and sophisticated appeal.
This satchel seems to have enough space for your daily necessities. Other than that, there are also two pockets on the front, accented with silver-tone logo-embossed buckled straps. There are double top handles with rivets and also an optional shoulder strap for added versatility.
Carrying this Versace Reve Mini Framed Leather Satchel with just about any outfit would look great, but for total glamour and luxe, pairing it with an equally smart-looking outfit should do.
Project Runway: “It looks like she’s in her early second semester…err, trimester.”
What scares a bunch of gay men and young, urban women more than a pregnant lady? As it turns out, not much! And that might be the primary lesson that we learned on this week’s Project Runway.
They’re particularly terrified when forced to make an outfit for one. Which is kind of counter-intuitive, considering all the empire waist, babydoll, flowing tops that we’ve seen in fashion over the past couple of years. If you can figure that part out, then don’t you just drape the dress with more fabric in front so that the hem hangs straight at the bottom? And they had these weird pillow things to strap to their dress forms, so shouldn’t they have been able to figure that out?
And some of them did, while others chose to make carriers for all manner of round objects – bowling balls, eggs, you get the idea. And guess what! Those people weren’t rewarded. We try not to bore Nina, after the jump.
I continue to be impressed with the fact that Project Runway still feels like Project Runway, even on Lifetime and in Los Angeles. We had a bit more personality coming out this week than we did the week before, and we’ll only continue to see more as there are fewer designers on which to focus (and next week, we have a partner challenge, so everyone will start hating each other then, surely!). And while not everyone is blowing me away, most of this week’s looks were decidedly NOT bad, which is rare to say so early in a season of this show. We haven’t even gotten rid of the riff-raff yet.
The challenge was to create a stylish maternity outfit for Rebecca Romijn, who was pregnant with twins when this show was taped eight years ago. She wanted something flattering and body conscious. Simple enough, but only one of the designers had ever been pregnant, and a lot of them were baffled. The top three were all women and the bottom three were all men, which I have to believe was not a coincidence. Pregnancy – confusing to dudes! And the pregnancy simulation was, admittedly, completely bizarre. They strapped pillow bumps to their stick-thin, not-anywhere-near-pregnant models, and instead of looking like they were going to have babies, they just looked like they had lumpy, misshapen pillows strapped to them.
The girls in the top three all made pretty, dark-color dresses that would be plenty comfortable for sitting and moving with an enormous preggo-eggo (as our beloved Shannon would say) belly. Althea was the only person (that I can remember, at least – sheesh, there are like 100 designers left) that made an evening gown, and despite the fact that it looked like the model’s boobs were going to pop out, it was actually quite pretty. It accented the shapelier parts of a pregnant body and used jersey to drape over the bump itself, giving the dress some give and movement. The ribbons that made up the bodice weren’t exactly matched up in the back, which requires me to deduct points, but a solid effort nonetheless.
Louise, who is Kenley verson 2.0 (meaning not nearly as annoying and a better designer) made a negligee-inspired cocktail dress out of scarlet silk and hand-dyed lace, and I swooned. It was teared and pleated and perfect. It was also sexy and pretty, which is too often not something that pregnant women are allowed to be, and if it was too sexy for some, it would also have been pretty with a shrunken cardigan over the top. It would have been my pick to win, purely for the amount of work that went in to it and how professional and perfect it looked when she was done.
But Louise didn’t win, Shirin did, which I don’t entirely disagree with. The pleated waist of her burgundy jersey dress was gorgeous and not something you see often, and the draping of the neck was a great way to add texture without complicating the dress’s structure. Plus, she made a charcoal coat with a LINING to go over it, and in the Project Runway universe, making a lined coat is like birthing the Baby Jesus himself. They should have just skipped the runway shenanigans and given her the win in the workroom as soon as she completed the coat. Her win was virtually guaranteed by that point.
And then there were the not-so-successful designs. Mitchell was the only repeat visitor to the bottom three, and Malvin and Ra’mon, who had been in the top three last week, joined him.
Ra’mon decided to give Rebecca some pregnancy racing stripes and made a dress that looked like a 70s bowling ball bag. Mitchell, the gay little elf from Savannah that made nothing but a collar in the first episode, was the first to recognize the resemblance, and his off-the-cuff comment sent Ra’mon fleeing from the room on the verge of a breakdown. Really, it was epic, and the entire exchange made me and the friend I was watching with giggle incessantly. And that’s when I knew this season was going to be okay – personalities are emerging quickly, the designers are talking smack, the people are real and believable. It’s still Project Runway as we know and love it! The fact that he later decided that instead of being crazy, that he was in fact the front runner (!!!) almost immediately after he flipped out made my night.
And then Ra’mon made a reference to STELLA and her LEATHAH from last season, and I knew that I would love him forever. And despite the fact that his dress was atrocious, he got to stay, which I’m totally fine with – his dress last week was great, and his concept just didn’t pan out this time.
And perhaps if Mitchell had spent less time making fun of Ra’mon’s bowling bag and jumping around in his enormous shorts and more time working on his outfit, he wouldn’t have produced the pile of crap that he did. His shorts had to be the worst-executed thing I’ve ever seen on Project Runway, and they showed a complete inability to plan for proportion once a garment has been fitted. If he was planning on gathering the top of the shorts so much, why not make the leg holes SMALLER? So that, ya know, they’re appropriate for the garment after the size of the top has been altered? One of the other designers mentioned that he had previous experience designing maternity, and if that’s true, he definitely would have been my choice to leave. Even if it’s not, I still think he was the worst of the week. But he didn’t go home.
Malvin did. Poor, weird Malvin. His outfit was a wacky chicken/egg contraption, sure. He adhered to his concept too slavishly and didn’t consider wearability as much as he probably should have. But he did execute it very well, even the judges commented on the beauty of some of the construction, and I must protest vociferously the fact that he was sent home instead of Mitchell, who cannot create a concept OR execute. In Project Runway, being unable to actually make clothes has always been a greater sin than having a wacky idea, and Malvin had created a perfectly reasonable, pretty dress during the previous challenge. Mitchell had turned out two piles of crap, the second bigger than the first, because it was actually made of clothes. Bad ones.
My write-in vote for the top three would have been Christopher’s (who didn’t go to college! Has he told you yet?) jewel-purple bubble-hem top with pleating at the bodice (seriously, where do I order one? I already have the tights to go with it. I’m not even pregnant). For the bottom three, I think the correct people were chosen, but I’d also add Epperson’s ivory disco pregnancy jumpsuit. When you have a baby kicking you in the bladder, how bad of an idea is it to wear a giant preggo onesie? Terrible, or totally terrible?
Alas, Mitchell lives to design another day and we send home a designer that should have been great fodder for recaps for weeks to come. If you believe that an injustice has been done here, I implore you, call your congressman on behalf of Malvin.
The "Tina" Clutch by Alexander Wang
How exciting to have not one but two bags named after me this season! It’s hard not to like a bag with my namesake but I have to admit this one is for a much much younger Tina. One who enjoys her cigarettes (if anyone in my family is reading this, I never smoked!) and her vodka (on the rocks, with two lemons and an olive) while dancing til dawn (hence the body strap, very handy while dancing the night away!). The current Tina, the one you know now, lectures her friends on the peril of smoking, is excited when she drinks two glasses of wine without passing out and likes to be in bed by 11pm after a game of Dance Dance revolution on Wii. But at least I’m not too old to appreciate the edgy coolness of this square shaped camera bag with multiple zippers (the better to stash stuff in). I just think it’d look better on Agnyss. The price is not bad at $590– Alexander Wang Tina Zip Clutch at Shopbop.com
