Happy St Patrick’s Day

I admit, I do not have a green bag for St. Patricks Day. *gasps* Although if I planned ahead a little bit better, I would probably be rocking one of the beauties below. St. Pattys Day kinda just crept up on me this year.

So here, pictured below are my favorite green bags of the season.

The weather is so unpredictable in West Hollywood right about now, as its no surprise to see celebs dressed as if they’re stuck right in the middle of winter and sunny spring. Something else that we can say is quite unpredictable as well is Audrina Patridge and her choice of handbag for the day. Spotted by the papz. Audrina had something different in mind for the day, instead of the usual large designer handbag; she was spotted sporting a small accessory that seems to be pretty handy for those quick hits out in town. It has a long chain that’ll hug your body and its main compartment is made up of luxurious French leather, we’re talking about the Wallet-On-Chain by the House of Chanel. Store your cash, cards, lip gloss and even your compact cell phone into this pouch which features slots and an extra roomy interior for your basic essentials.

Don’t underestimate the size of this small accessory, as many Chanel addicts can agree that this is a must have piece. You can find various WOC’s in different colors and leathers by shopping through: Authentic Chanel on eBay

What’s your input on backpacks with a high end designer name to them? Personally, I’m not too fond of them as prefer a handbag to a backpack of course, but occasionally I’ve spotted some tourists in my area with say, Louis Vuitton backpacks.

I spotted a backpack like no other today, it’s by French couture brand Chanel and frankly, I don’t know what to think about it.

It’s Hills star Miss Lauren Conrad, either she’s a fan of the diva talk show host Wendy Williams as it appears that she hit her souvenir shop or she just happened to be a guest on the show and that’s just a canvas goodie bag she received. Let’s part away from that tote bag and take a look at the French couture arm candy that’s hanging off her shoulder. It’s an ultimate must have piece to the House of Chanel, the Classic Jumbo flap in black Caviar leather. What a bag to have in your collection, Lauren Conrad demonstrates now and in the past how well you can dress this classic up or down and still look so chic. Lauren’s choice of gold toned hardware adds a vintage like effect to the shoulder bag, creating a nice contrast against the rich black leather.

I’ll also note that her lady companion back there is carrying some arm candy by Foley + Corinna, those gals sure do rock some style.

I love any accessory that has to do with multicolor. It’s kind of weird though because mostly all my clothing is black and white, but when it comes to purses, wallets or other small accessories I love seeing lots of color.

I’ve been obsessed with the Louis Vuitton “Multicolore” collection for years and I love when I see other designers add some color to their collections too. Fendi has the “Chanel Mini Chain Multicolor” Tassel bag available for pre-order on the Saks Fifth Avenue and it’s adorable!

It’s just a miniature little Fendi bag with this over-sized tassel hanging from the bag. The little purse looks like any ordinary Fendi bag, but the tassel is what really catches your eye. The bag itself is pretty blend, and to have a huge colorful tassel hanging from it gives it some pizazz.

Obviously, this bag isn’t ideal for everyday use. I, myself love bags that are on the larger side so to have something this small in my collection is pretty pointless. I suppose, this could be a great day or evening bag if it’s paired with the right outfit. A simple outfit of jeans and a tunic would compliment it well, especially if the tunic has some color in it.

The Fendi Chanel Mini Chain Multicolor Tassel Bag can be purchased at Saks Fifth Avenue for $560. It’s not a bad price for a designer piece, but if you don’t get much use out of small bags then it would be pretty pointless to purchase it. I won’t deny though, it’s definitely an adorable bag!

What Goes Around Comes Around Vintage are known for finding the most interesting and truly vintage designer pieces, globally. Just follow along on their latest finds and you’ll know just how serious this team of voyagers are.

My vintage weakness at the moment has got to be anything attractive by Chanel and sure enough guess who just got one classy Chanel bag in? It’s a Quilted Flap Bag in Camel and it’s presented by WGACA for ShopBop. The thought of how popular this style was years ago and how it still ranks at the top of many Bagista’s wish lists today is astounding.

As mentioned previously this is a vintage find, so a couple of flaws or signs of wear is expected. Even as I took a few moments to study this piece, it is indeed in good condition for something claimed to be pre-loved.

The color listed reads Camel and with the gold toned hardware of choice it creates an overall stunning combination. All the wonderful features of chained leather-woven straps, logoed turn lock, smooth quilting and more can be found on this piece as well. My only complaint would be the incredibly high asking price of $3,850!

Who’s that hiding behind those large black shades? Why of course it’s Paris Hilton. I haven’t seen her as much in the tabloids or on my television screen (not that I’m complaining), but I am content to see what handbag she’s carrying at the moment. Paris is one of those celebs who carries the latest “it bag” and doesn’t let go of it until some other designer sends her a new one to advertise. Surprisingly, Paris bag of choice to the pumpkin patch was no other than a Chanel classic, it’s the Caviar Medallion Tote and it looks great! I wonder how old this tote is, for all we know, it could have been a hand me down from her stylish mom or a newbie fresh out of the Chanel boutique.

This versatile handbag can be worn day to night, dresses to denims. If you’re one of those unlucky fashionista’s who doesn’t live near a Chanel boutique as I am, test your luck on Authentic Chanel on eBay.
