Juicy Couture Blue Blood weekend Bag

reason me for a moment, I’m unexpectedly feeling rather nauseous. based on the photo to the left, I’m sure you can all figure out why. I nearly didn’t even want to publish about the Juicy Couture Blue Blood weekend Bag to ensure that I wouldn’t have to be assaulted with its picture whenever I click over to PurseBlog Savvy, however I feel that it is such an egregious infraction of great taste that something has to be said.

Everyone has seen the carts in the shopping center that offer thinly veiled Louis Vuitton knock-offs with somewhat different monograms as well as “leather” trim that appears like its been covered in spray-tan, however I’m really shocked that one more high-end (or must we be calling them “high-end” with frighten quotes at this point?) brand would pull the exact same stunt, especially in a method that looks so unforgivably cheap.

I’m ready to entertain the concept that maybe Juicy Couture is trying to skewer a extremely high-brow aesthetic as well as has simply failed miserably at doing so. even if that’s the case, however, exactly how lots of people had to indication off on this bag’s production before it pertained to store shelves, as well as does lawsuit-happy Louis Vuitton plan to take legal action against them? I kind of feel like filing a claim just for being needed to look at this bag. get with Net-a-Porter for $350.

Fendi Selleria Hobo

ok so a lot of of you did not like the Fendi atrocity of yesterday. I am still having the hardest time wondering how a bag like that can carry a price tag like that. I realize that lots of of us drool over expensive bags daily and would (and do) get some of them, but that Fendi Bag du Jour with Crown embroidery will never make it on my list. So with that bitter taste in our mouth, let’s see if this Fendi bag redeems the new spring line.

I want to hear from all of you if this bag is a Yay or a Nay. The Fendi Selleria Hobo gives off a modern vibe with its logo-buckle woven ribbon and the Fendi plaque engraved with your bag’s special ID number. kind of a cool option if you ask me. This way if you pass someone on the street carrying this bag, you can compare your ID numbers and know that your bag is distinctly different for a reason. created from Selleria leather with a beautiful natural pebbled finish and solid nickel hardware, this hobo looks a little like a vault that you will try to enter- with an ‘X’ that marks the spot. On the inside you will find linen lining and a zipped pocket. The bags dimensions are 13″ x 9″ x 2.5″. I’m not going to tell you exactly what I think yet (as in yes or no for me) because I want to hear what you think. available by means of eLuxury for $1430. So ladies and gents, what is it; Yay or Nay?

Oscar de la Renta spring 2012

YOU GUYS, Oscar de la Renta is THE man. He may be one of many men, however he is likewise THE man. Vlad as well as I had the enjoyment of attending his spring 2012 runway show last week starting with behind the scenes access. Oscar does not simply put on a show, he puts on a production that is carefully planned with each as well as every detail supervised by Oscar himself.

The spring 2012 show sent one more spectacular collection down the runway in front of every major editor as well as a star-studded crowd, including Justin Timberlake, Nicki Minaj, Ashley Olsen, Valentino, Barbara Walters, as well as more. as with every Oscar show, when the lights popped on as well as the music began (Led Zeppelin as well as Pink Floyd, I youngster you not) we were transported to a totally different world. outstanding full skirts, embroidered gowns as well as the most covetable accessories I have ever seen Oscar de la Renta produce sashayed down the runway.

This collection needs no words, it simply needs your eyes to look over our exclusive images that Vlad photographed to show you the beauty that we saw. since sometimes, words can not explain utter fashion genius properly.

Fendi Patent take on Bag

Fendi Patent take on Bag

I have been patiently waiting for a design from the house of Fendi to wow me. I imply the kind of wow that is undeniable, the feeling you get when you see a bag that you absolutely should have! Not saying that this bag is it, but it could be, in a different version. While the Fendi Patent take on Bag has a take on strap, the chic way to carry it is sans-strap as an oversized clutch. The oversized bag from Fendi was found on the spring 2008 RTW runway in various forms, my favorite being the multicolor shades and oversized stitching (similar to the multicolor doctor frame Bag). I am still waiting to see that bag in person and see how much it wins me over (it could be the bag that turns me back on to Fendi). So this bag, the patent take on bag, is slightly reminiscent of what I am yearning for. The good news is this is easy to wear, whatsoever times. Th black patent leather will carry over for seasons and the fold over top is a good finish. This is ok, but I am waiting for stunning! purchase through net A porter for $1680.

The ultimate Bag Guide: Chanel 19 Bag

In March of 2019, Chanel debuted Karl Lagerfeld’s final collection for the brand, and it was then that the Chanel 19 Bag made its runway debut. The 19 bag has only been available for sale for 6 months, and yet it has already become a beloved choice for Chanel lovers around the globe. In fact, our introductory post was one of the most viewed posts on our site last year.

In case you need a refresher, the 19 Bag was designed by Lagerfeld alongside Virginie Viard, who has since taken over the creative reigns of the brand. The 19 Bag pays homage to the classic 2.55 bag, which was created by Coco Chanel in February of 1955—hence the name 2.55. just like the bag that inspired it, the Chanel 19 Bag is named after the year of its birth. designed to be both semi-structured and supple at the same time, the Chanel 19 is offered in 5 sizes and multiple fabrications. The design is classic in its flap bag design but also modern with its mixed gold/ruthenium hardware and bold CC logo. though only in its second season, the 19 has already been reimagined many different ways. below we’ve compiled a comprehensive guide to Chanel’s newest It-bag.
