The other Chloé bag that is Paddington-worthy and classic-potential is the Paraty but i had never really paid any full attention to it until i saw this gorgeous full Phyton version being displayed on the window of the Montaigne Avenue store in Paris last October. This bag is up there in the top 5 of my most highly-recommended list right now [...]
Today is the last day of year 2008. Time flies so fast, you might miss a year if you blink too much. We would like to wish you all the very best for year 2009. May the new year be a better one compared to 2008, remembering many less-than-pleasant memories over the past few months. May 2009 also [...]
If you are not into the Bottega Veneta Ponza Fabric Shopper there is a good alternative to the bag from Marni for Resort 2009. The Marni printed canvas tote is priced at USD600, which is almost half the price of the Bottega tote and in my opinion, the flowery print is more attractive than the [...]
Britney Spears has been cleaning up real nice. Both singles from her latest album ‘Circus’ are in the top 10 list, the sales of of the album has been good, she nailed good reviews with critics and performed consistently up to expectations live on TV too. Seems like everything is going back fine with her life and i [...]
Jimmy Choo is one of the very few shoe designers who managed to cross over seamlessly and make it well in the world of handbags. The Monna tote might not have been as famous as its predecessor, Ramona but i actually like it better. The shape is simple but the design is still glam, the way any Jimmy Choos [...]
When you could not have the real thing, you figure out a way to have it the other way, no? Apparently the folks at Bottega Veneta believe so and so they created the Ponza Fabric Shopper. BV is known best for its Interwoven leather bags but with such much-needed craftmanship and materials, the prices of [...]
This is not a typical Coach bag and it is not a bad thing at all. Gone is the signature CC pattern which has become tired after a while, replaced by soft leather in palatable color such as this shade of pink. Do not get me wrong, I have always been a fan of Coach [...]
Leave it to Salvatore Ferragamo to come up with a lady bag which does not scream brands but showcases luxury. The Italian fashion house originally known as the shoemaker to Hollywood has increasingly strengthened its position in the handbag world. Like its shoes, the bags are subtle and the quality is top-notch. The Origami Single [...]
The legend Baguette Bag is definitely one of the MUST-HAVE Bags in my list. Recently celebrated their 10th anniversary since being launched a decade back by the Italian fashion house Fendi. The bag was so named as its shape resemblances French Baguette or perhaps, these bags were created for the Parisienne to be carried under [...]
I often imagine the life before the air-plane, the DVD and the Internet. Back in the early days of the 20th century, when people still traveled the world by sea, luxury was accessible only to the ultra-wealthy and the only way to enjoy life had to be being one of the richest. We are lucky [...]
Marc Jacobs is a big fan of Stephen Sprouse. Their first collaboration for Louis Vuitton in 2001 was a sold-out collection and is still highly sought-after until today. Sadly, Sprouse’s untimely death in 2004 made it their first and the last collaboration. In 2006, Marc Jacobs paid a tribute to the artist by incorporating Sprouse’s [...]
Accessorizing is an essential part of dressing as it could make or break an outfit. I have been shopping for Spring New Year, which falls in end January but now is a good time with many sale and offers around. I got two dresses so far- simple, elegant, LBD-type of dresses in grey and in black and what [...]
Sophie Kinsella’s Rebecca Becky Bloomwood in the best selling Shopaholic Novel series has gained fans all over the world since the debut book introduced in 2000. With such a massive success, it is about time the novels to be adapted into a movie and that time has finally come. The movie would be released in [...]
When we think of Hermes bags, Kelly and Birkin will surely be the first to come to mind. What if you do not like a structured bag? Hermes got us the answer and it is Lindy. Since first introduced last year, Lindy has sealed its place as a classic-to-be bag. Same as its predecessors, the [...]
Even Tomas Maier in the mighty house of Bottega Veneta could not get it right all the time, every time. Which he has led us to believe possible following his seasons after seasons of lust-worthy bags that put logo-craze to stop.
There are a few bags in the latest cruise 2009 collection which i will not [...]
