I’ve been dying for a sophisticated shoulder bag with a chain strap. I know it seems to be the trend lately, but I’m loving the golden chain straps featured on bags. They just seem so classy and elegant to me. I’ve been looking at some by Michael Kors but the RED Valentino Bow Bag is also way up on my list. First of all, I love anything with lace as long as it’s classy. Lace is super sexy to me if it’s worn in the right way. I’d say this lace handbag is stunning and was definitely made to look ultra glam.

At first glance, I didn’t like this bag. It looked like a black mess from far away. However, when I took a closer look and saw the stock photo with the model carrying it on her shoulder I was sold. It was a lot bigger than I envisioned and looks pretty spacious inside. I love the mix of the gold chain strap with the black lace because it gives it a flashy look.

Every now and then, the rocker chick comes out of me and I like my outfit to be edgy for that particular day. About two years ago, I rocked the edgy look everyday but now my look is more classic. Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Kennedy Onassis are fashion icons to me. We definitely don’t see very many people sporting fashion like they did back then these days. But at least we can still say, we still have fashion. It maybe different but it’s still fashion.

I always tend to have a soft spot for polka dots. I’m not sure why because polka dots seem kind of childish or clown-like to me. With that said, I’m sure it comes as no surprise that I would love the RED Valentino Perforated Hobo. I’ve never seen black polka dots featured on black leather before and I’m digging it! It’s different and looks amazing on this bag!

What I love most about this bag is that it’s slouchy. These type of bags are perfect for people, like me, that pretty much throw whatever they can find in their room. I kid you not, I put tons of makeup, wallets, hats, magazines, water bottles, snacks and even flats in my bags. So the bigger the bag, the better for me! Oh, and the zip side pockets are a huge plus! You can put hidden treasures that get lost easily in them, like lip gloss, a compact or your keys!

Classy and sophisticated evening bags make my heart melt. There is nothing better than getting all dolled up for a lovely evening out and having gorgeous accessories to go with your stunning outfit. For me, it’s always about the purse and the shoes. Yeah, and outfit can look amazing on you but the accessories always finish an outfit. The Valentino “Glam Lock” Flap Bag would definitely be the finishing touch to any fashionable evening outfit. I’m obsessed with the crystal embellishment and light pink color of the bag.

Color blocking and Tie-Dye are taking over the fashion industry by storm. Sometimes I see the oddest colors paired together but yet the outfit still looks amazing. However, I’ve never been a fan of tie-dye and I probably never will be. To me that’s a trend that should of stayed in the 70′s and never came out. It makes me shake my head but I do like the dip-dye trend. It doesn’t exactly look like tie-dye and blends in very well.

The RED Valentino Dip-dyed Bow Satchel is cute and the colors look great together. What caught my eye was the hinged-snap closure. I love anything old school looking and to me that type of closure brings a classic feel to a bag. You don’t see it often and it always makes an impression on me. I do think this satchel would look cuter if it was smaller. At this size the bow looks a little too gaudy but it’s still stunning.

Whether you’re a fan of oversized bows or not, you must admit that they’re pretty adorable. You can find them on children’s accessories but what’s your opinion of giant bows on woman’s accessories? We spotted this attractive Daisy Bow Satchel by RED Valentino and it is absolutely lovely. This ultra feminine accessory arrives in one of the season’s most popular shades of yellow. The oversized bow is a favorite amongst the Valentino family and I must say, that this is one of the most charming versions from their collection.

Trendy and stylish tweed is a fabric I have struggled with in the past. I can’t come about its rough and heavy texture, plus, my skin detects when tweed is around as it automatically rejects any tweed article by threats of an endless itch-feast! Regardless, I can’t deny the unique and classic interwoven designs the texture creates. Plus, the overall vibe of tweed calls out Fall/Winter wear, which I’m anxiously waiting on here in South Texas. Two European fashion houses present lovely yarn designs that fit the holiday festive just perfectly.

Red Valentino presents the cross body-bucket designs of the Tweed Drawstring. This cinched accessory arrives adorned in a multicolor pattern of red, white and black colored yarns and the black glossy leather trim makes this piece stand out even more.

Valentino is a name synonymous with Italian high design. As of late, we’ve seen plenty of bags featuring a floral motiff. This is something different. It’s edgier. And I like it.

The VaVaVoom Small Flap Bag is a an attention grabber. Even if you aren’t into animal prints, this one is done so well and beautifully, it’s sure to get a look or many dozens! The spotted goat leather (similar to ponyskin) fetures a beautiful ocelot patter with more light than dark coloring. It is a beautiful neutral compliment for many outfit. Whether paired with denim or a chic little black dress, this bag is more useful than you might first imagine.

Checking Net-a-Porter every Monday, Wednesday and Friday has become an afternoon ritual for me. Those are the three days a week that the designer boutique gets a fresh batch of items in, and on some occasions, the really hot pieces sell out fast.
