I’m sure it comes as no surprise when I say I love black and white fashion. Accessories, shoes, handbags & clothes, if it’s black and white I most likely will love it. I see black and white fashion as sophisticated, classy and definitely stylish. Some people say I’m too close minded when it comes to my style, I say their too open minded. Everyone has their own tastes, right?
Don’t miss out on the sale that everyone is talking about! Over at Net-a-Porter they added a few more items to the sale section. And some of the items are marked 70% off retail. Yea, so it’s a pretty big deal. Here are a few of my favorite picks from the sale:
I use to be a fan of handbags full of a lot of color. The Coach “Watercolor” and Louis Vuitton “Multicolore” collections were my favorite. I have multiple pieces from both collections and every year my love for them are fading away. They are very beautiful but simply don’t fit my sense of style at all. As I grow older, my taste in fashion is becoming more timeless, old school and just overall classy. I love darker colors, whether is be with wardrobe or accessories, and anything that just screams sophisticated when it comes to fashion.
The House of Marc by Marc Jacobs “Snappy” satchel is definitely a handbag I could see myself carrying around. I would personally love it in black, as I do with all handbags, but the “ocean” color is pretty marvelous too. The good thing about having a handbag in this type of color is that it’s dark enough for Fall and Winter but it’s also colorful for Spring and Summer. I think when any handbag has the capability to be carried all year long that just makes it more desirable and worth the amount it costs.
Every week I write about another black leather handbag that features gold hardware. It’s my favorite combination so pretty much every bag I see like this I fall in love with. With that said, it comes as no surprise that I absolutely love the Marc by Marc Jacobs “Too Hot To Handle” Satchel. It’s classy, beautiful and oh-so-fashionable!
What caught my eye about this satchel was the dual rolled top handles. The handles really compliment the rectangle shape of the bag and make it look quite unique. The fact this bag also had a zipper closure is a major plus. By looking at it first glance, I thought it was not going to have a closure so this caught my by surprise!
It is never too early to start thinking about your holiday shopping list! Who is the most “difficult” person to buy for on your list? For some, it is the tween or teen on their list. After all, they are going through a very special time in their life when they change their mind every 10 seconds. Oddly enough, it is also a time when many girls start to take notice of handbags… and (gasp) designer handbags. But we all knew that! We were all tweens and teens ourselves at one time! So it only makes sense that the perfect gift just might be the perfect handbag. Below you will find some of my top handbag picks for tweens and teens. So whether you’ll be shopping for someone who falls into that category, or you happen to be a tween or teen yourself, then be sure to check them out!
1. Juicy Couture Sequin Crown Day Dreamer
You can never go wrong with the classic terry velour Day Dreamer! Plus it is available in a variety of colors. What I like about this bag is that it appeals to the younger crowd, but it isn’t too kiddie (just keep the colors neutral). So depending on how youthful you feel yourself, you might find yourself wanting to borrow this bag from your daughter/sister/niece/whatever!
Marc Jacobs has done some crazy things over the years. From whimsical hardware to wild prints, unusual fabrics to lovable characters… there just isn’t anything he hasn’t incorporated into his designs. Yet it is all of these things that make me admire and adore Marc all that much more. Nothing is off limits with his designs, not even neon colors! Just take a look at the Marc by Marc Jacobs Totally Turnlock Python Shine Messenger!
I’ve been looking to purchase a new handbag. As usual, I’m looking for a black leather handbag with gold hardware. This has been my go to style for handbags in the past 2 years or so, which is not refreshing feeling. In the past 4 years, I have seriously splurged on Louis Vuitton handbags and now I don’t use them at all. What a waste of money!
