There was a time in the land of Coach, where all handbags followed a strict silhouette guideline. You knew what a Coach bag looked like, by pure glimpse. It seems like those days are over, simply check out the curves and twists on the Madison Small Marielle Drawstring. I’m so intrigued by the look of this Coach piece, and that goes for any bucket shaped handbag for that matter.
Jil Sander’s name is synonymous with pure, understated fashion. When it comes to her handbags, the German-born designer is known for pairing simple shapes with ultra bright colors. Perhaps her most well-recognized design is the Market Bag, which has been made available in just about every color of the rainbow. It’s simple styling and 2-in-1 design have made it a very popular (and versatile) item. Her talent, however, doesn’t end with just one style. Her collection contains a wide variety of styles in all shapes and sizes. Just check out the Jil Sander Pyramid Clutch! I wasn’t kidding when I said all shapes and sizes!
I’ve always have had an obsession with anything from long ago. I think the fashion from past era’s is more inspiring and much more stylish that today’s. Today’s fashion is lovely but I feel fashion from the past had more of a theme and was more put together. I particularly love the 20′s, nothing beats the flapper girl look to me but other era’s also caught my eye.
L.A.M.B. is one of my all time favorite designer brands. I was very against it in the beginning because I didn’t feel Gwen Stefani should be charging such high prices. She was new to the fashion game and I didn’t think her credibility as a designer was worth the price. She proved me wrong though and then slapped me in the face with all her beautiful pieces she started coming out with throughout the years.
Now, I’m absolutely in love with L.A.M.B. shoes and handbags. The shoes are always beautifully made with gorgeous detail. The handbags can be funky sometimes but they always comes out stunning whether they lean towards edgy or classy.
I haven’t been paying much attention to Pippa Middleton, younger sister of the Duchess of Cambridge. But when I stumbled across this photo of her, I immediately stopped in my tracks. It wasn’t her outfit that caught my attention. Although I will admit she looks great dressed head-to-toe in light denim blue. Her top is adorable, I love the ruffled bib and satin covered buttons! No, it was the gorgeous handbag held firmly in her hand that drew me in. But who makes it? I had to do a little digging to find out. It’s from a London-based designer called Modalu.
Either I’m behind on fashion times but I never knew Rachel Zoe had her own handbag line. I can remember the very first time I heard about Ms. Zoe, was when she was Lindsay Lohan’s celebrity stylist. If I’m not mistaken, I think that’s how she grew into a super star stylist. Anyone can be a stylist, but very few get celebrity status that’s for sure! Then I remember hearing all about her reality show, now I’m hearing about her handbag line. As she keeps building her resume it seems as if Rachel Zoe isn’t about to go anywhere, anytime soon.
Rebecca Minkoff never ceases to amaze me. Everything she designs is flawless, amazing and oh-so-fashionable. She really is becoming one of the fastest iconic brands out there and there isn’t a true fashionista out there that doesn’t know what the “Morning After Bag” is. I currently own one “Morning After Bag” and I look forward to the day that I can add more to my collection. It’s definitely one of the best handbags a collector can ever add to their collection.
When I spotted the Rebecca Minkoff Woven “Apache” Slouch Bag on Shop Bop my mouth dropped! I thought it was beautiful and looked very different than anything Ms. Minkoff had ever designed before. The whole wrinkled effect on a bucket bag is brilliant! It makes the bag catch your eye and want it even more! Even the gold hardware compliments this bag well and gives it more of a classic look! I’m a fan!
I don’t own very many but I love clutches! Whether they’re for the daytime or evening I love carrying them around. Mostly because they keep me organized but they are quite stylish too! I especially love clutches that can be carried all day long. It’s lovely to have clutches that are for special occasions but if I can carry it all day long I feel like I’m getting my moneys worth.
I’m currently in love with the House of Harlow 1960 “Tilly” Clutch. It’s edgy and perfect to carry all day long. The black and gold studs make it stylish to be carried during the day, but the studs also make the clutch flashy enough for the evening.
Remember the Louis Vuitton Fox Tail Clip from Spring 2010? I remember the conversation that went on over at the Bag Forum. You either loved it or hated it, there really was no in between. So when I stumbled across the Elena Ghisellini Lara Raccoon Hobo, my thoughts went straight to that conversation that took place over a year and a half ago.
