Aussie model and Victoria’s Secret Angel Miranda Kerr was spotted at the airport in Sydney over the weekend. Accompanied by her son, Flynn, she was returning to her hometown where her family resides. Both were dressed in comfy clothing, baby in little sweat pants and mom in a pair of skinny leather pants and a loose fitting tee. What grabbed my attention though was the bag slung over Miranda’s shoulder. That is no baby bag! It’s the Alexander Wang Diego Bucket Bag!
If there’s one regret 2011 that I couldn’t achieve was not being able to obtain certain fashion pieces throughout the seasons. I’m leaving this year with more on my want list than on my acquired list. The good thing (or sometimes good thing) about the fashion world is that designers update their products instantaneously; hence with time, it’s impossible for your lust list to remain short. So my three favorite handbag selections, in random order, for the 2011-year were also three pieces that I unfortunately didn’t add to my collection, yet will carry over into the 2012-year.
There’s a new Couture House that kept the oversized studs fashionable and popular. Alexander Wang carried a distinctive collection of handbags that carried hardware in abundance. Hobos, satchels and my favorite, the Diego Bucket Bag; each arrived with a unique silhouette and a uniformed array of metal studs at the base.
When asked to pick my favorite handbag designer for 2011, I found myself wondering how I could possibly pick just one. There are so many beautiful handbags out there and so many wonderful designers. You can certainly see my dilemma here! But if I must pick one, then I will pick Alexander Wang. Hands down, he is one of the most loved designers this past year. His designs are well known for their urban street vibe. They are edgy, yet sophisticated and chic.
It’s that time of the season when all of our favorite boutiques slash prices to make room for the new season. And hey, I’m not complaining one bit, and you wont either once you see all the gorgeous bags, shoes, clothing and accessories in the sale section. Gotta love those deals!
Here are a few of my favorites from the sale:

Call it Azure or call it Cobalt it’s everywhere at the moment! Everywhere I look I see this gorgeous color of blue and I can’t keep my eyes off of it. I don’t even normally wear blue but I feel like the fashion industry is shoving it down my throat. Every designer is in on this blue trend and they have a reason to be, it’s beautiful!
The “Emile” by Alexander Wang looks absolutely stunning in Azure. As always, I can do without the shoulder strap but as a satchel it’s one fine looking bag. What I love most about the “Emile” is its odd looking shape. I could be wrong, but I don’t ever recall seeing a bag shaped like this and the bright color helps it pop out more.
Move over Coco and Rocco, you’re not the only styles sporting those mind-boggling studs underneath anymore. We’re glad to see that Alexander Wang has presented yet another fabulous design with those infamous oversized metal studs, the Morgan Hobo. They’re attractive, protective and give off such a chic vibe.
Here on BagBliss and over at our sister site theBagForum, it comes to no surprise the amount of members that love the Rocco bag by Alexander Wang. It’s recognized as one of the hottest handbags in the world of fashion and it’s got the assets to prove it. With that said, Rocco fans be aware that there’s a new version available now on the Wang racks for the Fall/Winter season. Those who don’t easily accept change must not worry, as there are no large alterations to the new Rocco, instead, there’s a simple addition of the colder climates’ favorite textile.
