When I was about 8 years old, not only were backpacks extremely popular, but you would literally see them perched on the back of almost every female in the U.S. If I remember correctly, mine was some sort of red cowboy print with red leather trimming, not so cute. Now in my early twenties I wonder, despite the stigma attached to the backpack do designer backpacks have more credibility? The answer I have concluded is a big fat no!
For the past 5 months my Aunt has been carrying a Luella bag around. It was a gift from a friend and till now she’s had no clue as to the value or even the designer of the bag, however since the day she put the bag on her shoulder she’s received a sack load of compliments.
Last week I went to visit my Aunt and being that I’m a fashion junkie my eyes immediately darted to the beauty of a bag that she was carrying. I oohhhed and aahhed and marvelled at how gorgeous it was. Being that my Aunt isn’t a designer freak I initially presumed that it was a bargain from the high street, but after feeling the quality I couldn’t believe it was possible. After taking a quick look at the label and after two seconds of registering exactly whom the designer was I looked at her in disbelief…”This is a Luella bag”, I squealed.
Calling all Mulberry lovers everywhere. The ladies at my-wardrobe weren’t lying! They have some fab, fab, fab colours of Mulberry’s most wanted bags in stock for this season.
We’re loving the Maggie in this glossy shade of raspberry (pictured above). Wow!
I stumbled upon Karen Millen for the first time in the U.S. two years ago. While rummaging through a consignment shop, I fell for Millen’s alligator textured, rhinestone outfitted clutch. After spending about $50, this immaculate piece and I were meant to be together. Ever since this purchase, I have significantly upgraded my wardrobe with Karen Millen pieces, both clothing and accessories.
This is interesting. The classic Chanel bag has been given a metallic makeover. Right now, you’ve voted that the pursuit of the Chanel bag is tough to justify but you still want one. How about this version? Would you hand over your cash for this baby? I’m not sure I would, but I do love it. This metallic calfskin alternative to the timeless original is available exclusively at Chanel’s new concept boutique on Robertson Boulevard. So if you have to have it, then depending on where you live, its likely you’ll have to jump on a plane asap! $2495 available at the Chanel Boutique, 125 North Robertson Boulevard
This summer be prepared to wear white in all of its crisp, clean glory. For barbecues, parties by the shore, or just a fun dress for day-to-day, try this Cotton smock dress by Miu Miu.
Serendipity, as defined by dictionary.com, is “an aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident,” or “good fortune; luck.” Well, I have to say I had quite a bit of both aptitude and good fortune a while ago
Bright candy-coloured bags are a must-have accessory this spring/summer and I have been on the hunt for one lately. This Perry Mini Satchel by designer Be & D in eye-popping fuchsia is definitely in the running.
With a celebrity following that includes the likes of Jessica Biel and Penelope Cruz, Be & D is known for the soft and luxurious nappa leathers that they use in their bags and the incredible utility that they offer.
