See by Chloe Funny Love Shoulder Bag

BrS — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 01:12:40 +0000

Ever since the See by Chloe line was introduced, I have never been much of a fan. To tell you the truth, some of the bags were just plain weird. In fact, I believe I once compared a See by Chloe bag to a toy that is made for horses. So you can imagine my surprise when I stumbled across a bag from See by Chloe that wasn’t… well, weird.

And I think I am prepared to go as far as saying it is a style that I could see myself actually wearing. Introducing the See by Chloe Funny Love Shoulder Bag!

This bag is clean, simple, and it comes in a nice neutral color. But it isn’t without interesting detail either! I think the small removable pouch that fits snugly inside the front pocket is adorable (it sort of reminds me of Juicy Couture). I also like how the sides of the bag are cinched with little bows. Plus, the butterfly print lining is just too cute!

My only gripe is the See by Chloe label that has been neatly affixed to the pouch flap. However, I think that can easily be remedied by placing the pouch (since it is removable) inside the main compartment of the bag. So if you’re looking to get your hands on a piece of See by Chloe, then I would definitely recommend this piece!

See by Chloe Bags: Ring Around Shoulder and Grasshopper Bag

Deysa — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 18:32:04 +0000

As far as the brand See by Chloe goes, I wouldn’t call myself a fan. I refer to their accessories line in which most portray nothing more than unflattering looks and designs. I spotted these two newbie’s to the See by Chloe collection, and I’m quite impressed at how much I don’t dislike these bags, they’re actually decent…

The puddly “Ring Around Shoulder Bag” looks as functional as it appears fun. The classic hobo design in neutral black with a pebbly flat shoulder strap pretty much states that this bag won’t disappoint. Funky resin ring at the handles and a leather star zipper pull make fun characteristics to what would have been a simple black shoulder bag.

If you prefer your leather bags with a pop of hue and with a price tag under $600, the “Grasshopper” cross bag might be the See by Chloe bag for you. The color is great, it’s not exactly lilac and it’s not too purple, and I’d say it would make a great bag for the upcoming spring season. Two thumbs up for the gold toned hardware as it compliments the color nicely and of course the ability to carry this with the top handle or long strap for a messenger style is always nice.

Chloe Elsie Python Satchel in Whisky

Marissa — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 22:14:10 +0000

I’ve always had an obsession for exotic leathers especially when they are featured on handbags. Exotic leathers can always make a handbag look more unique, as well as gorgeous. I dream of the day when I’m able to own my very on Hermes Birkin made from crocodile leather but until then I just sit admire gorgeous handbags on the computer. One exotic handbag that I’m currently in love with is the Chloé Elsie Python Satchel.

The Chloé “Elsie Python” Satchel is made entirely from Python skin, and it’s absolutely stunning. The handbag itself is pretty sophisticated and the Python skin just adds to the beauty of the bag.

I’m not sure if I would ever use this bag if I actually owned it, but it’s pretty to look at. It’s not really my style, but I can appreciate a beautiful bag that would look amazing in my collection. To me, exotic leathers make any bag look that much more appealing and that’s exactly what happened with the “Elsie” satchel. I think if this bag was in regular leather it wouldn’t look as amazing as it does with the exotic leather.

To me, this would make the perfect work bag. It’s big, classy, and the whole look of the bag screams professional. I can totally see a doctor or lawyer walking around with this bag. You don’t have to be in one of those professions to carry around this bag though.

The Chloé “Elsie Python” Satchel can be purchased at Saks Fifth Avenue for $2,895. The price is high, but when an exotic leather is featured on the bag we can expect a super high price. It’s a gorgeous bag, but I would never pay that much for it. If you have the look and style to rock this bag out with, then I suggest buying it! It may be pricey, but this bag is too beautiful to pass up!

Chain Effect: Top Picks at BagBliss

BrS — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 01:03:59 +0000

Chains are back and they are better than ever! Well, that is, where handbags are concerned anyway. To be honest, I have always had a soft spot for bags with a chain strap. But what’s hot right now are chain details located elsewhere on a bag, not just as a strap. And when it comes to chains on handbags, I personally prefer something that isn’t too dainty. But I don’t want anything too heavy either. Why so picky? It’s simple! I don’t want to feel like I’m going to break it! However, I also don’t want a chain that is so big and heavy that it feels like I’m carrying around shackles! Yep, I’m a medium-sized chain gal all the way. But what I think is so neat about the so-called chain “trend” is that it can involve any kind of chain, big or small. So there is literally something out there for everyone. So without further ado… I present to you our top picks for chain-detailed handbags!

1. Marc Jacobs Stardust Cecillia Studded Satchel
Chain details that have nothing to do with a handbag’s strap may be hot, but no one can argue the feeling a chunky chain strap can give you. The Cecillia is such a gorgeous bag, with its studs and quilted leather. Heck, the chain strap is just icing on the cake!
Currently available here at Nordstrom!

2. Chloe Kira Chain Satchel
Wow, a chain border accenting an otherwise simple satchel. Who would have thunk it? This handbag is perfect for a person wishing for a neutral style with just a hint of uniqueness.
Check it out here at Saks.com!

3. Yves Saint Laurent Nappa Leather Clutch
What an interesting look! Here we have a clutch with a not-so-dainty chain accenting the front and sides. This clutch would definitely add some spunk to your look!

See Shopper by See by Chloé

Marissa — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 20:45:34 +0000

When it comes to going to class, I like to carry as little as possible. I’m definitely one of these college girls that loves to dress up to class and look as stylish as possible. I must always wear heels, and have a designer handbag in tow. What I hate carrying around is books and notebooks for class. I’m always throwing them in some sort of small tote, that doesn’t kill my outfit. As of right now, I’m sporting around a “Sex & the City” tote that says “I’m not afraid of heights, have you seen my heels?” That compliments me well since all I wear is heels, but I’ve been searching for more of a designer tote to lug around my school things in, and I think I may have found one.

The See by Chloé “See Small Shopper” is definitely cute, but it’s also on the weird and fashionable too. How ironic is it that the brand is called “See by Chloé” and you have a pair of eyes on a bag staring at you. The tote is different, and is a stylish way to carry around any sort of school or work supply. It even has a cute matching button near the shoulder straps, which is another set of eyes staring at you.

The See by Chloé See “Small Shopper” can be purchased at Nordstrom for $95. The price tag is a steal for this tote. Anytime you can find a designer tote at such a great price is amazing! All in all, it’s a very cute tote at an affordable price.

See by Chloe Zip File Pouch

Marissa — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 19:10:12 +0000

I think wristlet’s are perfect for when you are on the go, in a rush, or just simply don’t want to carry much. My all time favorite wrislet has always been the Louis Vuitton “Wapity Case” but spending $315 for something so small can seem impractical. I mean face it, for less than $400 more you can get a Louis Vuitton Speedy, so why pay so much for something that can’t hold much. Never fear though, there are many designers out there that make much more affordable wristlet’s.

One of my favorite wristlet’s at the moment is the See by Chloé “Zip File” Zip Around Pouch. It’s really cute, comes in three stylish colors, and the price is great. Obviously, if you love carrying around a ton of stuff with you all day long a wristlet wouldn’t work for you. If you are someone that doesn’t like to carry much, or you just want a simple little bag to go to the grocery store, or perhaps get some gas in it’s perfect!

I’m loving the pouch in “Peppermint.” The color is so vibrant, and if I’m carrying around something that is so small I’d like it to stick out in the crowd, or at least be colorful. I could totally see myself using this when I’m making quick runs around town.

The See by Chloé “Zip File” Zip Around Pouch can be purchased at Nordstrom for $95, which is an amazing price for a designer wristlet. It’s available in Black, Grenadine (Red), and Peppermint (Teal) and is definitely a cute little accessory to add to any designer purse collection!

Chloe Heloise in Autumn Orange

Marissa — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 04:11:25 +0000

I’ve never been one for any shade of the color orange. I personally only have one item in my closet that is orange, and it was a gift. When I came across the, “Chloé Heloise Large Tote” I realized that a beautiful bag can make any “orange-ish” like color look great.

I really think color plays out a huge part in this handbag. The color, brick, is so rich that it really blends well with the gold hardware featured on the handbag. Together the color and hardware make this handbag look stunning and unique.

Personally, I would love it if this handbag came in black. I wear a lot of black, and it’s so much easier to match a handbag with my outfit if it’s either black or has a lot of colors featured on it.

In my opinion, this handbag can be worn day or night. The color is so vibrant, that whatever you choose to wear it with, is going to be hidden by the bag. In other words, all eyes will be on the bag when you walk in a room not your outfit.

If you live in a state that has Summer-like weather all year round, this would be the perfect handbag to add to any collection.

The Chloé Heloise Large Tote can be purchased at Saks Fifth Avenue for $1,670. High price, but oh so gorgeous.

Chloé Paraty!

Marissa — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 17:18:26 +0000

I’ve never been that big of a fan of Chloé handbags, but I must say I am quite impressed with one of Chloé’s upcoming handbags. The handbag is called the Chloé Paraty Large Tote and it is gorgeous. Saks Fifth Avenue is currently taking pre-orders for both the medium and large versions of the handbag. I’m personally in love with the large tote, because it is much more wider and roomier than the “medium” version.

I would absolutely love this handbag in black. Saks Fifth Avenue currently only has the large tote available in brown to be pre-ordered. The medium size does come in black though, so I’m sure that the large tote is made in black also.

What really caught my eye about this bag was the rope signature detail featured on the front of the bag. For some reason, the rope detail with the gold hardware really sticks out on the bag. I believe if those two features were missing from this bag, this would look like any ordinary tote.

To me this handbag is very versatile, which is always a “pro.” This is a handbag I would wear day or night and during any season. I do live in the heat, therefore fashion trends aren’t really followed when you are in 100 degree year round. This handbag would look perfect with: a pair of jeans, a simple stylish shirt, and some boots. I do consider it a “simple” handbag, so it deserves to be worn with a classic outfit.

The Chloé Paraty Large Tote can be pre-ordered at Saks Fifth Avenue for $1,995. I believe this price is a little too high for this handbag, but I won’t deny that this handbag is stunning.

Thrifty Thrill Bold and Colorful Wallets over @ Bluefly

Deysa — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 22:34:28 +0000

The next best thing to handbags and shoes has got to be the handy dandy wallet. Many ladies favor the ease of owning a single wallet, while others swap them daily as they would a purse. I myself own a single practical piece, but the idea of adding a new addition doesn’t sound like a bad idea. Listed below include some of my favorite candidates right now, they’re fun, bold, and some serious eye candy.

All the hype over colorful wallets starts off with the ‘azure’ Gabby continental by no other than Hype. Besides the glazed blue leather, the oversized zipper pulls are fun and the many interior compartments are also great. You can find this wallet at an amazing price of $51!

Balenciaga fans, how does a mandarin orange wallet marked down 20% sound? Giant silver hardware adorns this beauty and the interior features are truly satisfying. You just can’t beat luscious Italian leather sporting one of the season’s hottest colors.

Yves Saint Laurent’s Y-Mail continental wallet has been a favorite amongst many Bagista’s and that’s really no surprise. YSL delivers a really unique and way cool design, especially in pretty fuchsia/gold. Available in shiny patent leather for $476.

If you’re digging the darker berry colors instead, Chloe’s ‘Paraty’ wallet in dark purple looks like a winner. With distressed leather like that and shiny gold hardware, I give this piece a two thumbs up!

Whichever wallet catches your attention the most, you simply can’t go wrong either one. These are just a few of the many beauties you can find on sale right now. Discover many more fun and bold wallets via: Bluefly
