- Bags to Have: Mulberry Shimmy Tote
A new season is upon us (the weather is already reflecting Autumn) I have grown bored of Summer fashion and am quickly looking to the cooler months and the items arriving in store already. I am a particular sucker for handbags as I have a wardrobe over flowing with the accessory. Here I would love to say one of my favorite new are my ten favourite designer handbags for youmulberry Shimmy Tote.
Mylene Klass was spotted stateside this weekend as she lunched at the Ivy in Los Angeles. The presenter looked Summery in a black and coral dress with sandals and gold aviators. She took a bit of British style with her showing off a Mulberry Shimmy tote which is part of the new season collection. I really like this designer arm candy, particularly because the two straps make it so flexible. What do you think of Mylene’s bag?
Marc Jacobs Safari Pouchette Bag
Not only do I love the name: Marc Jacobs Safari Pouchette Bag (it reminds me of Las Vegas, a city which I am newly obsessed with thanks to The Hangover), but the updates are subtle enough to retain the charm of the original Stam while still being interesting enough to catch the eye of any handbag fan that’s familiar with the line.
Must. Share. This. Bag. That’s right, here is a great example of a handbag that I had to stop and write about. We all know that Marc Jacobs is known for exquisite and must-have bags. I admit, there are times when I wonder why some of the bags are sooo sought after but of course there are other times when I know EXACTLY why an MJ bag sells out close to instantly. But, this bag my friends, I can’t tell if is a knock out or a rip off. Read the rest of this entry »
Marc by Marc Jacobs Q
I said not too long ago that I was experiencing some ennui in regards to the Marc Jacobs Stam, but as it turns out, I was wrong. That’s right, I’m a big, fat liar. Because I’m in love with Marc Jacobs again.
When we first covered the Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Bag, everyone went crazy bananas over it and we actually had the store sell out in a matter of hours. Since then, Marc Jacobs has expanded this line to included clutches, patent leather, hobos, totes, satchels, you name it, it is there. And this is why our weekend obsession this week is the Marc by Marc Jacobs Q line of handbags. They are versatile, fun, usable, chic, and most important affordable. I don’t think I can even remember the last Marc Jacobs bag that I loved over a Marc by Marc Jacobs bag. And why this is good for all of us? The Marc by Marc line is more affordable. I don’t own a piece from the Q line, but it is truly an ideal line for many reasons. Rock on Marc!
Marc Jacobs New York Rocker Stam
I continue to love the Marc by Marc Jacobs line. The bags are beating out the overly gaudy and overly heavy Marc Jacobs bags and adding a look that is so much more appealing
It seems like all I had to do is complain that I was feeling a little blah about the Stam, and Marc Jacobs rose to the occasion. First we got the studded-yet-understated Marc Jacobs Stardust Stam, and now he’s brought us the not-at-all-understated Marc Jacobs New York Rocker Stam. Although I’m not sure that this sequined-n-shiny satchel is best suited to New York – in fact, I think it might be more at home in Las Vegas. Read the rest of this entry »
Marc Jacobs Misfit Top Handle
There’s nothing I love more than a really terrible idea. Another huge slice of pizza? Great! Another shot before last call? Bring it on! I want to be a redhead today – so what if I have a ton of black dye in my hair already? It’s a miracle of massive proportions that I’ve somehow yet to end up with a tremendously ill-advised tattoo at this juncture in my life. There’s something beautiful about having the willingness and opportunity to occasionally act in defiance of all logic and good sense. Read the rest of this entry »
