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!
Designer grocery bags seem to be a trend these days. It’s so funny, that a bag I’ve seen my whole life is now being made in leather and made to look fashionable. Every time I go the grocery store I always get the items I’ve purchased put in a plastic bag. The very plastic bags I use to put more garbage in when I get home and then off to the garbage can they go.
I’ve seen quite a few designer grocery bags lately but my favorite has to be the Maison Martin Margiela “Studded” Grocery Bag. I’ll be honest, the studs are what sold me! The studs kind of kill that grocery bag look and give it more of an stylish edge. I could see myself carrying this bag anywhere not just to the grocery store.
This odd handbag silhouette is nowhere near being called a classic, but apparently more than one designer house digs the oversized, trapezoid-ish tote bag look. They’re both black, edgy, and somehow remind me of a giant fortune cookie, but who exactly came up with this concept first?
The Grant Large Nylon Hobo is one of the latest totes to hit the L.A.M.B scene. A puffy nylon silhouette is held together by an interwoven leather handle and decorated with vertical zippered pockets up front. Prior to L.A.M.B’s release, Maison Martin Margiela had this idea printed on their sketchpads first. Their version of the oversized Leather Slouchy Hobo lacks zippers up front (they’re actually built onto its sides instead), and features a sturdier silhouette; a more defined braided shoulder strap and cool tassel detailing.
Something really caught my eye today while I was browsing around the Net-A-Porter website. I want you all to meet the Maison Martin Margiela Reflector-Embellished Leather Clutch! This is such an intriguing piece. From a distance, this rectangular clutch simply glistens with what appears to be a mosaic of ruby red stones. Wouldn’t that look gorgeous paired with a little black dress? But wait just a minute! There is definitely more here than meets the eye! That’s when I read the words “reflector-embellished” again.
Architecturally inspired, clean and modern lines are the design hallmarks of a Margiela handbag. While the primary line generally sells for $1,000 and up, this is a much more affordable choice for most of us. MM6 by Maison Martin Margiela is the brands diffusion line. This brand provides the Margiela style at a much lower price point. At $495, this bag makes a big statement for spring and summer!
What caught my eye about the perforated Hobo is the sleek and modern triangular design of the bag. Clean and simple, it offers a lot of visual impact. I can see this with so many of today’s contemporary clothing designers. The imported, perforated leather is the second aspect of this bag that really catches your eye. It looks light and airy and fresh for summertime! An added benefit of the perforation is the overall light weight of this bag. Carrying it would be like having a cloud on your shoulder!

Thanks to Lady Gaga, Architectural fashion seems to be everywhere right now. Some of it is stunning, and some of it is just plain weird. I think most people would agree that everything Lady Gaga wears should be labeled as more of a fashion mess than stylish.
I’m not a huge fan of architectural fashion but I have to admit that some of it is pretty cool and unique looking. When I came across the Maison Martin Margiela Leather “Strip” Clutch I was intrigued. It wasn’t super crazy, but the leather bands that wrapped the body of the clutch caught my eye. I liked how the bands were going in all different directions, but it would of looked much better if more than one color was featured.
