It’s that time again! Another week and another Rebecca Minkoff bag for me to write about. This time, I feel like Mrs. Minkoff’s team has been reading my posts and now their answering my prayers! Finally, another bag black leather bag with gold hardware for me to drool about. I can’t buy any bags at the moment but seeing that color combination together makes me melt! I don’t know what it is but I have an absolute obsession with the color combination of black and gold. It looks elegant, fashionable and sharp! Right up my alley!

For some odd reason, I love studs and crystals. Funny thing is though, I don’t like diamonds! Aren’t diamonds supposed to be a girls best friend? For me, shoes are my best friends! I’m definitely the type of woman that would prefer a pair of shoes over diamonds. Crazy I know, but that’s me!

Since I love studs, I’m sure it comes as no surprise that I would love the Maison Martin Margiela “Studded” Clutch. I love this clutch so much because I can see it carried in so many different ways. I can see myself carrying this clutch around when I’m sporting a rocker chick kind of look during the day or when I’m wearing a classy little black dress and I want to add some shine to my outfit. What a fun accessory to own when you can use it with a variety of outfits!

Just about every week I bring you another fabulous design by Rebecca Minkoff and this week is no different. Mrs. Minkoff has released another handbag that is making me drool and it’s the “Love Spell“. What a great name for a bag! It definitely put me in a love spell when I saw it and now I want it! Oh, Mrs. Minkoff release this in black with gold hardware I’m sure it would be a hit! At least it would be with me!

Obviously, what caught my eye about this bag was the ostrich-embossed leather which seems to be everywhere these days? I saw Michael Kors release handbags, shoes and accessories in the ostrich-embossed leather and I wasn’t that much of a fan of it. Michael Kors is one of my favorite designers but he released the collection in very vibrant colors. I’m not a colorful person so of course I wasn’t a fan. Now Rebecca Minkoff’s take on ostrich-embossed leather is fabulous! Not bright and more practical to match when it comes to wardrobe choices.

As I get older, my fashion tastes are starting to lean toward the more classy, sophisticated and timeless pieces. Before our economy took a dive I always bought handbags I loved, for no reason at all. I didn’t care if they matched my wardrobe or not, if I liked a purse I bought it. Now I’m more sensible, for me to purchase a handbag these days I have to convince myself I will carry it non-stop. Being able to use a handbag year round is a big factor for me today or I simply won’t purchase it.

When I heard about new designer Yiliy, I was instantly intrigued. The name was catchy and definitely sounded different. Then as soon as I looked at the gallery of handbags the “Le Matin” instantly caught my eye. Black, golden hardware, and classy, which we all know is my favorite kind of handbag. I could totally envision myself using this handbag constantly. It’s simplicity at it’s best. Nothing I love more than a beautiful handbag that’s not too trendy but has the ability to be iconic. Rebecca Minkoff started her career off with the lovely “Morning After Bag” which is now one of the most sought after handbags in the fashion scene. I really believe, the “Le Matin” will be the bag in Yilin Chen’s collection that will be iconic.

I’m usually a black and white kind of gal. Most of my wardrobe and practically everything I own is black and white. Black and white exudes elegance to me and I think the two colors compliment each other well. However, I’ve noticed that I’ve been liking a lot of light colors lately especially light pink, beige and cream. All of those colors go amazing with black or white so I guess it’s safe to say that I’m adding some color into my life.

When I was in school, I was one of those women that hated carrying around a bulky book bag and I always dressed nice. You better believe it, heels were a must everyday. I remember walking from the library to my class one day and someone shouted out, “Hey Pantene girl, it’s college not a fashion show”. It was mean but I shrugged it off since the person saying this was wearing pajamas to school. Pajamas, really? I wouldn’t be caught dead arriving to college in pajamas but of course that’s just my opinion.

I always carried my books in my hand, in one of my designer bags or in a Sex and the City tote. Sometimes it got so heavy and everything never fit in one bag. When you have a lap top, books, notebooks, folders and other school essentials it’s not easy to fit it all in one bag so something was always carried in my hand. Now if I had the Anya Hindmarch “Homework” Tote it looks like everything would of fit with no problem!

I’m definitely one of the women that loves fashionable travel bags. I also really like when a carry on bag and suitcase match. Mine don’t but I sure would love it if they did. At the moment I currently have a Diane von Furstenberg carry on bag. I’ve had it for about 2 years now and it still looks pretty new despite being used a lot. The only reason I bought it was because I got an amazing deal on it. When you find a cute bag that was once over $300 for $70, you tend to jump at it especially when you desperately need a travel bag. Now that I’ve seen the Rebecca Minkoff “Wheelie” Travel Bag, I’m in love!
