Would you say this handbag is marvelous or a mistake? You tell me. Designers take great pride in the creations that they bless us with, but once in a great while, I think they temporarily lose their minds.... only temporarily.
I can only imagine how stressful it must be to continually come up with new designes over and over again to keep us happy, and I'm sure that the same amount of thought and time went into designing this bag just any other; however, this bag just doesn't make sense to me at all. (more...)
I got some good news this morning for all you Nieman Marcus fans. I received an e-mail from Neiman Marcus this morning telling me about free shipping for online orders exceeding $200 before taxes and normal shipping charges. To receive fee standard shipping, enter the promo code NMJAN in the promotion code box in yur shopping bag during checkout.
Again, this sale ends 01/10/09, so hurry over to Neiman Marcus and have a look. Have a great day! :)
Ok friends. I really need you to take a good look, as I'm having some trouble with this next bag. I came across the Dolce & Gabbana Candy Wrapper Mini Tote on The Bag Lady blog, and had to write about it.
As we all know, Dolce & Gabbana handbags are bold and daring, and this bag fits right in. But the question is, do we like it? To me, it looks like someone opened a Nestle Crunch candybar and stuck the wrapper to it.
Oh, my goodness! I love this bag. Look at the buckles on the handles and the clip-belt closure. This beautiful Fendi handbag is made from soft calf leather and comes in two colors, cappuccino tan and coco dark brown. The elegant gold hardware softly blends in with both colors. You have to love the braided leather detail on the belt closure as well, and the pleated bottom will allow for a little overstuffing on those long errand days. Absolutely gorgeous!
The Fendi Selleria Borsa Pomodorino carries a sales tag of $2,210.00 and can be purchased new through Neiman Marcus, NMF09_V095C. (more...)
The Balenciaga Lune Bag is a newer bag that has it all; both lavish luxury and sensible class all in one. I love the blue-grey color of the goatskin leather. It isn't too dark, too bright, or too light; but just right. I think it mixes perfectly with the black patent leather exterior trim.
This beautiful bag measures in a 13" x 6" x 13" and weighs 3.5 lbs. The beautiful detail is accomapanied with the classy gold-plated metal hardware, Balenciaga engraved twist-lock closure, and front zip pocket with leather framed hand mirror. Inside you will find that the quality didn't stop on the outside of the bag. The fine textile lining with zip pocket including the Balenciaga embossed leather tag spell luxury on their own. (more...)
Today I wanted to write about a Gucci handbag, and I came across the Gucci "Irina" Medium Tote in Sand Python and brown leather trim. This beautiful bag features double handles, snap closure, heart-shaped gucci crest detail, studs, and inside zip and cell phone pockets. It measures 15.4"L x 4.7"W x 13"H. Available at Gucci 211959 ECU6T 9560 $3595.
Now, this isn't the point of this post. We can all see that this is a gorgeous bag and find this same information about it on the Gucci website, but here is what I found to be very interesting during my research of this handbag. I came across a website, 12hshop.com what was advertising this bag for $282 or $232 VP price. The ad had the same information that I listed above which is from the Gucci site, and says nothing about this bag being authentic or a replica. Now, in my opinion because of the price these bags are listed at, there is no way they are authentic, but it certainly isn't advertised as such. (more...)
Surprizingly, the Kate Spade Prince Street Blakely Tote really is a sharp-looking little bag. It is versatile enough to take to work or lunch with the girls. It is made of nylon and comes in neutral black or brown. The one draw back for this bag is that fact that it is an open top bag. I don't use open top bags for the simple fact that everything falls out of them. I would have liked to see some kind of closure in it. If you can look past this, they are available for $375 at Kate Spade. (more...)
