I Was A Fan Of The More Subdued And Casual LV Handbags

Last week on a rainy evening overlooking Bryant Park, de la Renta showed his Resort 2013 collection. With a plethora of black and white opening the show to an infusion of green, Oscar showed us again precisely why he is the master of elegance.I sat at the show and felt like I was transported to a different place, needing an immediate getaway and a long stroll draped in gorgeous frocks and accessories from Oscar. I feel like all of Oscar’s collections speak for themselves in photos, but it is important to note that he has truly stepped up his accessory game. Chic hand-painted exotic clutches were paired with the perfect garden party dresses, and I couldn’t stop daydreaming about all the places I would like to wear the pieces.With a few nods to a more casual approach, the lineup showed a sequin baseball shirt that costs a whopping but it was the ladies-who-lunch dresses and fitted tops paired with flowing bottoms that caught my eye. No matter what he puts out there, every single Oscar de la Renta show leaves me wanting to be an Oscar girl, from head to toe. A few times a year, Vlad and I have the absolute pleasure to delve into the glamorous and gorgeous world.

I have said it plenty of times before, but right now I am on a self-imposed shopping ban. It is easy to get wrapped up in the world of shopping, especially when running a website like mine, but I need to go through my closet, evaluate everything I have and edit before I continue to constantly add. But you know what? Shopping bans are made to be broken, and this bag gives me a major fashion itch.The red crocodile is ravishing and the gold studs that surround the outer lines of the bag don’t look gimmicky, in fact they make this bag work. I adore my long and elegant evening bags, but none of them have even close to the amount of attitude this bag brings. I’m all kinds of obsessed and mostly feeling like I need to look under every couch in all of New York for spare change to scrounge up $11,200. To purchase, contact your local Valentino boutique – this piece isn’t sold online. he brand also releases a capsule collection of what it calls Outstanding Pieces.

As you know if you’re a regular PurseBlog reader, the pieces are exactly what they sound like – special or exotic in some way that sets them apart from the rest of the collection, both in aesthetic and price. The best example of the separation is so full of pieces with unique details and personality. These bags are great, particularly the Boy Chanel bags with stingray insets, but they don’t feel like they have quite the attention-grabbing power that the Outstanding Pieces usually have. Or maybe I’m just nuts? Either way, check out the four bag collection after the jump and then let us know how you feel in the comments.I hate it when designers do this to me. I rant and rave all the time about what a raw deal it is for luxury consumers when brands try to use the power of their name to sell us things like Vinyl is not a luxury material, no matter whose hands have touched it, and these totes’ leather handles don’t let them off the hook. And yet, I would really love to carry both of these bags. Immediately. The cognitive dissonance that I’m having right now is intense.Credit where credit is due – at $290 and $350, respectively, I’ve seen vinyl or canvas totes of a similarly simple structure that have been priced far more outrageously. On top of that, I love the patterns and colors of these totes; they’re bright but not quite neon, which means they won’t look massively dates in two months’ times. And of course the bags are functional. Totes generally are.The prices, though, are an ever-present reminder of just how marked up luxury Hermes Handbags Outletaccessories tend to be. If the markup on top of the designer’s profit margin renders a $300 price tag for a tote that’s essentially made of plastic, just imagine how much money is being made off our purchases of leather bags. Somehow just as I put myself on a self-imposed shopping ban, I keep finding myself in corners of the internet that house the most gorgeous handbags that my heart can’t stop racing. It started a couple days ago with the beyond gorgeous. that this exact bag is one of five things I am coveting right now and my feelings remain the same. The Cabas Chyc oozes a lady-like appeal that is hard to find when so many other handbags are busy developing over-the-top details. Not to mention the fact that this color is out of this world gorgeous I mean, talk about calming skye blue. It’s finally Friday, and we are ending the week with a little Louis Vuitton fun with photos! Photographer Vincent Bousserez had an idea similar to the movie Night at the Museum, but in this case, the Louis Vuitton champs elysees store comes to life at night, and tiny figures take care and engage with beloved The photos are whimsical and magical and bring back childhood feelings of tiny little people taking care of our world when we are asleep.

While some of the miniatures are hard at work keeping Louis Vuitton items clean, others are playing golf amidst Monogram canvas. I don’t know which is my favorite, because they all give me such a feeling of joy. Peruse the photos by clicking below and visit I get really really excited for sale season. Although I’m not usually a sale shopper, when my favorite online stores put up their sales I can’t help but virtually raid them. Most sales happen right around the same time and I have to carefully scour each to find the best deals. I always make a plan and decide how to go about conquering the task at hand when it comes to major sales. Most of the time, that involves me first checking out the bags. Some sales end up just dishing out the odd “why did they ever make this” leftovers, but Barneys is filled from start to finish with beautiful bags. I had a hard time doing so, but I picked out 5 bags that are ready to be carried for spring and summer and all are marked down to great prices.Click for the jump to see my five favorite picks. But most importantly, make sure to check out everything going on employee who had some questions about handbags. At first things were just general – which brands are really killing it, accessories-wise, right now? What are the big trends in the industry? Pretty soon, though, talk turned to Miu Miu specifically, and the state of the brand’s handbag business. According to my source, Miu Miu purses aren’t jumping off of shelves as readily as they used to, and consumers aren’t nearly as excited about them as they are about the brand’s widely coveted, often sparkly shoes.Unfortunately, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist or even a handbag expert to see why that’s the case: the bags just aren’t particularly good. Miu Miu does an enviable job of turning a very strong retro-modern girlish aesthetic into ready-to-wear, shoesLouis Vuitton UK Store and sunglasses that fashion people far and wide including everyone who works at this site covet, but the brand’s bags are rarely, if ever, talked about in the hushed, reverent tones that you hear used when discussing brands with similar fan bases, Handbags present a unique design challenge in fashion. Not only do bags have to be functional in ways that high heels or cocktail dresses don’t, but in order to catch wide consumer interest, a line needs solid, coveted basics that are refreshed every season in new colors, leathers and structures – think the Proenza Schouler PS1 or Celine Luggage Tote. Quirk is fine, but if it’s all that’s showing up in stores from a brand’s handbag line, huge sales shouldn’t be expected. On top of all that, companies are under immense pressure to churn out successful accessories; bags, with their wide customer bases and significant markups, are one of the only reliably profitable market segments in fashion, along with cosmetics and fragrance.
