Latticed City Bag from Balenciaga

September 3rd, 2010

Take a look at the Latticed City Bag from Balenciaga, do you feel it stylish? Maybe you think it holds a spring-themed look, which supposed to make it trendy, but ironically, but this doesn’t make it stylish at all. Rather, it still looks rugged, so don’t be surprised if a person places it as a doormat and steps onto it.

It is of multicolored lambskin with your choice of either beige or navy trims. It is accented with aged brass hardware and with a zipped pocket across the center front. Its zipper pull, including that of the main compartment’s zipper pull, is designed with a tassel, making it look more rugged even if it tries to be trendy.

The bag comes with a leather framed hand-mirror to check whether you still look good or need some retouching while on the go. It also has a black textile lining with additional zipped pocket on the inside. This can be handheld through its stitched top handles or can be wrapped around your body through the removable shoulder strap.

Its tag price is as well surprising at $1,829, which then really makes me hate it. It would have been better if the design is subtle or perhaps if the woven style is in a different kind of shape and design, and of course, if it is priced at a low cost.

Chloe Bay Patent Hobo

This is a stunning Chloe handbag, minus the whole heavy leather ordeal. I was never a huge fan of the Bay bag, especially in the larger versions, because it is just too heavy. I already own two Paddington bags that are used rarely because of the weight issue. But this bag I can handle, I think. The Chloe Bay Patent Hobo is drenched in the most beautiful hue of purple, which they deem violet, in a more compact Bay shape. The dimensions on this version are 12″W X 13″H X 4″D which are much smaller and more manageable than their Bay satchel or bag. This is a great throw over your shoulder and get on the go bag. The leather is a grained patent lambskin, but I have seen it in the store and it is not hugely over-powering. The 8″ shoulder drop makes the bag hand nicely on your arm and the shape is not too bulky that you have to hold your arm up in the air while carrying the bag. There is of course the pull accents that the Bay bag is known for and a large outside zip pocket for easy access. My problem with many Chloe bags is the inside lining, which is always just cotton. I hate to pay nearly $2k for a handbag and have it lined in simple cotton. But I like this bag, so I can look past that. So the cotton lining issue aside, the only other issue you may face is that this bag is still heavier than many that are the same size. Chloe implements such sturdy leather it is hard to get past the weight issue. But the issue should not be much of an issue when the bag is much smaller. Overall, this is my favorite Chloe Bay Bag yet!

Charlize Theron Glamorizes with Her Balenciaga Tote

September 2nd, 2010

Toting a Balenciaga Black Leather Tote, Charlize Theron looks very casual with her “husband” Stuart Townsend, and Sean Penn, looking very formal with his overall black suit.

Although there’s nothing so fabulous about her outfit, the Balenciaga bag managed to add a touch of luxury and elegance on her totality. It is versatile and it holds an understated luxe, which really goes well with her rather relaxed ensemble. It certainly takes her facade from casual to fab, pulling her look together to a somewhat chic totality.

The bag is large and definitely enough to hold her every essential. It obviously comes classic in black shade, but the use of golden hardware gives a flash of modern and classier appeal to it. So as said, this Balenciaga tote is very versatile, and even matching it with just the simplest ensemble would still make one look elegant.

Jimmy Choo Marin Zebra Clutch: Fab or Drab?

There is a lot going on with this clutch. Not only is there a brown and white zebra print pattern, but the material is ponyskin. And Choo has added another dimension with the gray watersnake trim that seems to have a bit of a glimmer and shine to it. The Marin clutch has been a huge hit for Jimmy Choo, but is the Jimmy Choo Marin Zebra Clutch fab or drab? This is the oversized version, which if you don’t realize it, is huge. The dimensions are 14.5″ W x 9″ H. While NAP shows this with a moo moo-esque dress (better known as a Temperley London kaftan), this clutch would look great with a very simple outfit; skinny jeans, white top, and sexy heels. Does the ponyskin/watersnake/zebra combo put this bag over the top for you in a good way or bad way? Available through Net A Porter for $1,875.

Gucci Cuff Link, Sharpen Your Outfit!

August 31st, 2010

As the fashion editor to hold my eyes on the fashion world, I always feel sorry about men. I know many luxury brands realize they ignore the male, but the fact is men’s fashionable articles are much fewer than women’s. Look no further than jewelry.

Yeah, men can wear earrings, necklaces, and bracelets as women nowadays. Nevertheless, in the formal occasion, it is improper for a traditional gentleman wearing this jewelry to show his taste. Well, in that point, cuff link is a fantastic choice!

Cuff links came about in the seventeenth century when men wanted something more elegant for their shirts than ribbons or ties to hold together their cuffs. To achieve this they began to wear small chains that were fastened to the end of a gold or silver button and fed through the holes of the cuff to keep them together. Such materials could only be afforded by the wealth. Over time, the cuff link developed and became a more sophisticated part of a man’s wardrobe, particularly for evening and formal usage.

Today, cuff link is the rising trend for modern celebrity’s fashion accessory. Not just any type of them either but Gucci cuff links.

Gucci offers a variety of different cuff link choices that will match whatever suit you are intending on wearing. Some Gucci cuff links are made out of titanium and great use for professional occasions. Such as icon twirl cuff links. It is used 18kt white gold with diamonds, total 0.37 carats. It definitely perfect accessory to polish off an outfit. Or you can call special order Gucci cuff link engraved your name.10luoyuejun0831

Miu Miu Spongy Leather Rounded Tote

There is something incredibly chic and sexy about a woman wearing jeans, a white top, and heels. Pair it with your oversized sunglasses and the perfect bag you have a perfect look. When choosing an outfit so simple, the bag can change your look. A bag that is black or neutral will give you a more elegant look, while a bag with a splash of bright color will give you a fun playful look. Right when I saw this outfit paired with this handbag, I was immediately head over heels in love. The Miu Miu Spongy Leather Rounded Tote is the perfect bag for your jeans and tee shirt outfit adding a vibrant splash of color. The rounded tote is a great everyday bag, that features two handles to hold, and the perfect compartments with a zippered middle section. The inside of the bag makes it perfect to organize, which is what we all need from our handbags. Rather than having to grab in your bag hoping to find what you are looking for, a handbag like this allows easy access and order. The gold hardware is subtle, seen on the handles and the Miu Miu logo. Buy the bag through Net A Porter for $1,015.

To finish off the look, pair this bag with Notify Opium Wide Leg Jeans $230 via Net A Porter and a Miu Miu Fitted Cotton Shirt $375 via NAP.

Louis Vuitton Monogramouflage Collection

August 30th, 2010

Louis Vuitton’s highly sought-after Monogrmouflage collection was born in last year, taking camouflage as we know it to a totally new level. So where exactly did this monoglamorous come from?

On June 1st, 2008 the monogramouflage firstly Replica Handbags revealed at Brookly Museum of Art, New York.

Now the amazing monogramouflage collection continues the legend. Why not get yourself a Replica Designer Bag at huge discount?10luoyuejun0830

Introducing: Cate Adair Handbags

I always appreciate getting emails from designers about their new handbag lines. It is hard to find out about each new designer myself, so getting an email gives me the perfect heads up. This post is long over-due, but this is a new brand that offers a great selection of practical everyday handbags. Today I am introducing you to Catherine Adair Handbags, which were featured on The Rachel Ray Show on October 5th of this year. The designer behind Catherine Adair is Catherine, who goes by the name Cate. Cate is not new to the fashion world, having been the Emmy-nominated Costume Designer for the well-known series, Desperate Housewives. With an outreach like Desperate Housewives carries, Cate has been credited with influencing fashion trends in 203 countries. While you watch this series, you undoubtedly check out the designer outfits of the ladies (as I always have) and wonder who thinks it up and where you can get the outfits. Now Cate has branched into the handbag design world, offering extensive knowledge and experience in the industry, her designs are geared toward the multi-tasking woman. Right now her collection can be viewed online and is available in stores such as Fred Segal and Kitson.

I was sent a handbag to try out and offer you all insight to this new line. Cate sent me the Pandora Tote, which falls under her Monterey collection. The bag offers a slightly western feel, yet the leather is very durable and the bag is over all practical. At times I may get a new bag to try out, and on paper it looks great, but it does not always translate. With Cate’s bags, this is not the case. The bag I was sent looks just as it does on paper, only it is better. My laptop fits in the bag perfectly, only peeking out of the top a little bit. While my lap top is heavy (aren’t they are?) but this bag’s deep dimensions are perfect for your lap top or other work essentials. My tan version is a great everyday color, but this bag is also available in black, espresso, and teal. There is also an east/west version of this bag, which is a shape I typically am drawn to, that is called the Verbena (also part of the Monterey collection).

If you are a traveler, you should know how important to have right bags in your travel. Convenient, little, and practical, and if it is stylish that will be fine. Well, now there is an item meeting all your demands. In Louis Vuitton spring/summer 2009, a flight Paname Takeoff bag issues, with the color of spring and summer- red, yellow and blue.

Jimmy Choo Calfskin Hobo

You know what I have not seen in a long time? A great black bag. No bells, no whistles, just a black bag to use everyday that is not trendy, just functional yet still appealing to the eye. And Jimmy Choo, who is known for their divine shoes, has embraced the handbag market, learned from early design flops, and began to pave a way for themselves in the handbag market. For a great everyday black handbag, the Jimmy Choo Calfskin Hobo will suit you perfectly. I love the slouchy appeal of the black calfskin and the tarnished feeling of the gold tone hardware. The shoulder strap is adjustable, which helps give this a nice snug feeling under your arm without pulling on your shoulder. The top closes with a magnetic snap and leads to brown suede lining with a nice lilac grosgrain trim. The interior focuses on usability, boasting a three section slide pocket and back zip pockets. Measurements are 13 1/2″H x 19 1/2″W x 1 1/2″D. This is such a perfect everyday black bag, I may just grab it for myself.

Coach Bonnie Cashin Collection

August 27th, 2010

Launched in spring season this year, the Coach Bonnie collection is a Louis Vuitton Handbags great line that caught my eyes, consisting of 14 designs of totes, framed bags, scarves and apparel.

This collection is designed to commemorate its legendary fashion designer Bonnie Cashin. Coach’s president and executive creative director Reed Krakoff once said,” Bonnie Cashin left an indelible imprint on fashion during her time with Coach. With the Bonnie collection, I wanted to fuse some her archived vintage designs with our well-known modern aesthetic. The result is a playful reinterpretation of her iconic imagery and unparalleled talent for our latest spring collection.”

This collection features candy colors and a myriad of shapes. It is a perfect combination of Bonnie’s vintage styles with Coach’s modern aesthetic. It takes advantage of the classic brass twist-lock closure, and adds several of materials, such as leather, woven cane and paulin. The cute and lovely illustrations of this collection are the most attractive element exemplifying the essence of spring. Coach Bonnie is such a wonderful accessory for those who want to add vigorous element to their appearance. Delicate illustrations with bright colors weave the dream of girls.10luoyuejun0827

Louis Vuitton Monogram Odeon Odeon GM-Beauty without Ostentation

August 26th, 2010

What is handbag really for? I won’t deny that plenty of luxury bag fans, especially newlyweds and young professionals are tirelessly pursuing personality and exclusivity. That is why quirky and flaunty bags are flooding on the market with fleet disappearance as their flashy popularity. Luckily Louis Vuitton Monogram canvas collection never belongs to this catalogue. This Louis Vuitton Monogram Odeon GM is no exception.

As a newcomer of famous Louis Vuitton Monogram canvas, Louis Vuitton Monogram Odeon GM intermits many classic elements from its predecessors. Actually, we shouldn’t expect huge makeover for an iconic collection but several tiny alterations still add additional sense of modern. The bag is shaped in a casual and feminine way with impressive size of 14.5 x 13.8 x 2.2 inches which is big enough for any daily use. It’s comfortable and convenient to carry out with two handle or shoulder with an adjustable strap. There are one flat pocket and one phone pocket inside the bag with a flat pocket on the outside-very practical and versatile. It is made of traditional and signature monogram canvas trimmed with natural cowhide. Although it is a casual bag but the overall design still exudes elegancy and luxury. The price is 1100 USD, not very friendly but a good investment.

Carrying with Louis Vuitton Monogram Odeon GM, you may not always be on the spotlight but never lack of appreciations from someone special hidden in the crowd. With it, you will enjoy tiny but continuous excitement for every moment. Maybe that’s so-called life. The same Odeon GM is available at a price of $229.00 on Top1handbag.net 10luoyuejun0826

Jimmy Choo Ramona Snake and Suede Bag

Typically, the natural python look is not for me. I suppose seeing it on many horrid looking cow boy boots tainted me. Don’t get me wrong, I love python skin, but I prefer it dyed. Yet the coloring on this Ramona is beautiful. Perhaps it is because the suede trim offsets the natural python perfectly and breaks up the pattern. Either way, the Jimmy Choo Ramona Snake and Suede Bag radiates beauty. Jimmy Choo uses exotic whip snake and pairs it with taupe suede trim and golden hardware. The overall look is killer, expressing a style that uses lush products that are bold enough to stand on their own, yet implementing a soft touch for the finish. The inside is lined in suede and features a zip and open pocket. This handbag makes a statement, so if you buy it be sure to tone down the rest of your outfit and let this handbag do all of the talking. Buy through Saks for $3495 (also available in a black and silver snake and suede here).

Gucci New Jackie- Gift for Mother

August 25th, 2010

Mother’s day is coming. What will you give to your mum? Gucci is so sweet for particular column from jewelry to shoes to our mothers. Everything is new in 2009 spring/ summer season. Just move the mouse and pick out your mother’s apple.

In my opinion, only the handbag is Gucci’s original star item. No matter the watches or the shoes are auxiliary products after its world wild fame. So, I obviously choose the handbag for my dear mother.

New Jackie is great choice. Firstly, it is roomy! My mother is more practical than me. If she knows I spend $5990 on a small case, her ceaseless chatter will annoy me! By the way, it is a popular shape this season. Secondly, it is so haunt! Gucci new Jackie is an update from the classic which created in 1950s and a favorite accessory of Jacqueline Onassis, now reinterpreted by Gucci’s Creative Director Frida Giannini. Its round edge shape, deconstructed body, oversized leather topstitching, modern bamboo twist and Gianni signature long leather tassels is offered in mute tones.

Wow, I even can imagine my mum’s expression at her first glimpse of Gucci New Jackie. And I believe my mum will be the most beautiful mother with this transcendent gift.10luoyuejun0825

Isabella Fiore French Twist Austin Frame Bag

There is something oddly different about this handbag, offering a a playful side and a serious plain side. Like a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde bag, but not as crazy. On one side of the Isabella Fiore French Twist Austin Frame Bag is soft tumbled lambskin and on the other side is pleated and gathered details. Turn the bag to the soft leather side to show the world you are serious, or flip it around to the pleated side to show you are playful. This bag still is structured, with a frame top and flat leather handles. Usability is practical, containing a cell phone pocket, patch pocket, key clasp, and zip pocket on the inside. Measurements are 16″x 9.5″x 5.5″. This bag is a great deal because in all reality, you are getting 2-for-1. It is quirky, but not overly crazy.

The Juicy Couture Key To The Cure T-Shirt reads “Viva La Cure” in pink lettering with a subdued sparkle.

Fasten Your Hair with Luxury-Louis Vuitton Hair Cubes Strass

August 23rd, 2010

The Louis Vuitton Hair Cubes Strass is proving to us that hair scrunchies and hair ties are soo HOT! You can choose from a set of Pink/blue or Brown/beige. I bet this is what you all have been dreaming about. Lucky us, they are finally here. Unfortunately, I will not be buying these. These cubes remind me of the car dice that hang from the rear view window- and that is a bad thing! Right now there is no word on the pricing- but if you really want to inquire just call your local LV boutique or check them out online. Actually when I think about it again, these could possibly be pulled off by some girls (or guys ), but I’m not sure if I can see that person being me.10luoyuejun0823

Marni Mesh Balloon Tote

Most likely my least favorite subject, geometry is all the rage for fall. Three plexiglass circles in different shapes are the focal point of the Marni Mesh Balloon Tote. This tote is designed with black mesh canvas, which gives off a carefree easy going feel. The balloon shape appears modern and very large. Also, there is an optional canvas strap. The feeling behind this handbag focuses on modern appeal. While wearing it everyday could seem overpowering, it would be a great here and there interchangeable item for your wardrobe.
