Agent Provocateur and Prada Story

Good news: megs and I returned to Manhattan! Bad news: We're still back to speed, so things are a bit slow occasionally completely back to normal tomorrow, and we hope that readers who have been affected by the hurricane are also well on its way back to normal. For now, however, want to spend the time in relation to my aversion to the stock black.

Black as the color, is one of my favorites. It has always been, even in childhood, when most little girls adored in the pink, when everyone in my first year class had a pair of white shoes, I was black. But now, because I wear so much black clothing, accessories and wearing black shoes just feels good ... boring. Even a black bag as beautiful and functional Prada calfskin tote can go to my wardrobe without a game plan well to spice. I think Agent Provocateur leopard hair calf driving gloves would be just the tip of the fall.

For some reason, I took a look at these drool worthy of driving gloves and could not think of anything else, "They need a black bag, stat!" The key word is "hand", of course. Vision in red leather and leopard on a black background works only if the return is near, so the hobos and bags are gone. But the bag, which carries a rogue arm or hand, the whole look harkens back to a time when women wore gloves as glamorous accessories, not only provides protection from the cold. It 'very Mad Men, a Hitchcock, and more. Buy gloves through the Net-a-Porter is a $ 500 bag and through the Neiman Marcus and $ 2,500.

Look At The Prada Is A Perfect Summer-fall Transition

Can you believe we're already halfway there in August? I can not, but I passed a shop yesterday and saw a jacket that I fall a lot that I purchased in two colors, realizing only then that I would be able to take long before I had originally thought.

It would probably be the place to say something profound about the inevitable passage of time, but I prefer to talk about Prada Glace Calf upper handle broken, a design for which my feelings are deep in a completely different way. Wear this bag now, to wear for six months, it will look good 365 days a year.

In the last two years, I developed a deep appreciation for what they do with Prada accessories. The brand makes the best bags of any stream in the area, without exception, not the kind of praise that I used to throw around merit. Prada accessories always provide a counterpoint to the track Miuccia minimum clothing dazzling firm often think of them as an anchor.

In this sense, this Prada bag is the best course. But a nice gray color variation, functional form, and beautiful skin, I'm not sure how this bag could be something better. This is a purchase that you will not regret, because you'll be too busy not only with the bag, but also to accept the praise from envious friends and strangers. Buy through Saks for $ 2050.

Miu Miu Understand Always Hit Me Where It Hurts

Miu Miu Lady Pushlock Bag, $1350 via Bergdorf Goodman

Only your wallet.

For one reason or another, often Miu Miu bags did not tempt me, as much as anything (and I mean everything) else to do the brand, especially his shoes. However, if Miuccia personally make money from my bank account each month and send me a random piece of Miu Miu's choice, I bet I'd be excited for at least 11 months during the year.

If this is the Miu Miu Bag Lady PushLock showed that outside my door, I know I would. As a backpack or shoulder bag (maybe even a shoulder strap - Bergdorf not show the fall of the belt), the retro is just big enough back everything I want in a bag in the fall.

This staid, structured expression must have been an advantage, like Celine has made us all dizzy Box Classic for a few seasons ago, and perhaps because it is an adult, a retro-modern appeal, the trend seems to be declining anytime soon . At $ 1350, not only in this case a little 'less expensive than similar models with similar signs, but also feels like a lot of prices than Miu Miu. Someone still remembers when the Miu Miu Prada has been the spread of the brand? I'm not the spread of marks in general ... less? And really, that's the only complaint I have. Buy through Bergdorf Goodman for $ 1,350.

Hermes Kelly Bag, Dismantled

Wondering what a Hermes Kelly bags seeks before it is implemented? I had not given much thought to the matter, Jeroen van Rooijen, but clearly, he deconstructs the bag for his iconic Zerlegt book. It struck me the most is what is not in the picture - Kelly has not fussy trimmings, zippers or unnecessary items of all kinds. The beauty of the design is its simplicity.

At first I was surprised by the lack of materials needed to create, Kelly, but felt more it reminds me of "cleaning" of eating: the best healthy meals is the purest ingredients and keep all the add-ons . This is what makes Hermes, but with handbags, the company focuses on using smart design and the best materials, instead of choosing the amount of quality. Now that we know for a fact because someone attended a $ 8,000 scholarship to satisfy our collective curiosity.

Check Out This Ridiculously Expensive (and Boring) Bags Roberto Coin

When I sent a link to the bag pictured above, Amanda, asked me: "The rich people go home Dom Perignon blitzed a bar after a night out at Le Cirque and the bags too expensive impulse-buy-ugly Gold and Diamond Like the rest of us Buy sunglasses on eBay? " I was wondering the same thing when I was in the eyes of Roberto Coin Bag Gold and Diamond. I have some 'of its design, but the starter batteries, which are literally go online and spend a little' less than $ 100,000 in a property. People do it? I realize that it's all relative, but at that price you could almost start to buy homes just a few clicks of the mouse and keyboard a shot or two. This switch is strictly about me, personal splurge.

Money aside, talking about the bag itself. Roberto Coin jewelry is known for its high-end, but this bag is absolutely boring and when you consider the price, makes it a little cruel. What you get for $ 100k is a gold bracelet and diamond attached to a gaudy gold leather clutch. Is it better than we do?

I have no doubt the attachment strap is nice. But no matter how much I love a good bag, I doubt that I'd never choose to 18kt gold. To make matters worse, not sure of his Roberto Coin projections gaudy, diamond-encrusted front of the initials and the center, so all your friends can judge you for how much money you lost. Practically, this evening bag is a ridiculous waste of good leather, gold and diamonds.

Look At The Prada Is A Perfect Summer-fall Transition

Can you believe that we are already mid August? I can not, but I passed a shop yesterday and saw a jacket that I fall so much that I bought in two colors, realizing only then that I would be able to wear much faster than I originally thought.

This would be a likely place to say something profound on the inevitable march of time, but I'd really better to talk about Prada Glace Calf break top handle, a model that my feelings are deep, a completely different way. Bring this bag to carry it now for six months, will look good 365 days a year.

In the last two years, I developed a deep appreciation for what they do with Prada accessories. The brand makes the best bags of any stream in the area, without exception, not the kind of praise that I used to throw around merit. Prada accessories always provide a counterpoint to the track Miuccia minimum clothing dazzling firm often think of them as an anchor.

In this sense, this bag is comparable to the evolution of Prada handbags. But with the change in the gray form beautiful, functional and beautiful skin, not sure how this bag may be normal at all. This is the type of purchase you will not regret what you will be very busy not only with the bag, but also accepting the congratulations of friends and strangers alike envy. Buy from Saks for $ 2050.

Gucci Handbags-How Young Is Too Young For A Bag Designer?

Design for children is all the rage lately. Brands that have not had the child rows in the past are all lined up for expansion in the market, including Lanvin will launch an acclaimed collection of the smallest in recent months. This naturally leads to many questions about the role of luxury goods should have in the lives of children.

I'm not here to tell someone how to spend their money (well, actually, I guess that's part of my job), but things like Gucci bag petting zoo made me a little worried. Part of my love for designer bags was the result of the insistence of my parents to save my own money to buy my first time when I was in high school, working to offer you a special item we want is a great lesson for children regardless of the tax brackets of their parents.

Of course, it is still perfectly possible to teach your children the lesson and continue to buy expensive things from time to time, and the lack of designer handbags aimed at children does not necessarily mean that parents are still in the process of buying luxury bags regularly to their children. But something about the idea of ​​marketing a bag of a demographic that has no wallet, keys or mobile phone to make extra just seems cynical to me, not to mention fundamentally different from buying a girl in a dress Lanvin little to formal events, where the purchase was respected the same exact purpose of the child as a Lanvin dress would be for an adult woman. The handbags are functional, at its base, and tell a girl with nothing to do has to have one (and his mother have to spend hundreds of dollars on it) seems to be the worst form of consumerism.

The fact that the boys Gucci bag is half covered with logos, it makes me even more cautious in accepting the existence of what he teaches five years? If you want to teach your daughter appreciates beautiful things, would not anonymous high-quality leather handbag is a better option than the $ 500 value of pork face logos, at the other end? There is plenty of time for children to learn these lessons to others later, you might think.

Gucci can do whatever you feel like bags of determination, the market and want the benefits that may or may not cross his path. Similarly, people spend their income as they see fit. I just hope that those who can afford to give their children realize that not everything can always be the most sensible thing to do.

What do you think? Want to buy a logo designer bag for children of school age?

I Want Wednesday: Dress By Alexander McQueen Autumn Of 2011 Campaign

You all know I'm a fangirl Alexander McQueen, but I like the whole line as much as I love accessories. I am particularly fond of the artistic direction of McQueen ads have been taken since the business changed hands after its tragic past, and the Fall 2011 advertising campaign is a greater assurance that Sarah Burton was the right choice to direct the fire. The ball gown above is as surprising as it was the photograph in the fall fashion shows, which means it is the object of my desire to want this week Wednesday.

Only Alexander McQueen Could Love Me A Velvet Bag

The designers seem to try to make a velvet happen again in the fall, and despite the fact that the child of the '90s and the era of unashamed fan of grungy, very questionable fashion, I was slow to warm up to almost a trend. I remember Velvet T-shirts and clothes too vividly Velvet school to be an automatic winner in my mind as an adult.

Alexander McQueen Wicca Velvet-Covered Leather Shoulder Bag

But I am fangirl McQueen chip, which means I'm willing to consider anything essentially the design of the brand with an open mind. As a result, could so totally love Alexander McQueen Velvet Handbag Wicca. If only I understood exactly what that "velvet skin" means.

I had the bag around a few years, and during that time I have seen almost all the leather you can think of. I have never heard described as a velvet-lined leather, though, and I have a couple of follow-up questions. Velvet is somehow applied to the skin, or is it just a bag of skin on the panels of velvet? Based on the pictures, seems to be the second, but I wish someone could figure out how before it happens.

Regardless, this bag appeals to me. The velvet is dull and lush, and fortunately it is not sticky crushed velvet, some brands have used (hopefully ironic). And you really can not argue with this explosive shades of pink - very rough materials like velvet and suede averse rich colors better than leather, and the end result is spectacular. You win again, McQueen. Shop by Net-a-Porter for $ 1365.
