Gray in Prada
Different gray suits in different shades, with layers of perforated fabrics that moved from rakish hats, to athletic mesh tops, down to trousers and shoes, which is what Miuccia Prada would to give us. The whole fashion show is like to watch a black and white movie. She is so smart. She turned the dullness of gray, from dove to anthracite, into a shaded palette. She played with proportions and focused on sports materials but never swerved from her concept of the colorless. While most of the Designer bags have offered global travel as fashion’s escape route, the Prada man seemed bound to the world of work but with formal wear worn so lightly, especially when the mesh layers were cut away brutally at the arms. The tip-tap of typing on the show’s soundtrack suggested the office world of yesteryear. But Ms. Prada’s version of work wear was uncompromisingly modern. Louis Vuitton: Now you see it, now you don’t! For the most part, we are all pretty familiar with the fact that designers like to collaborate. I’m totally fine with this. I love seeing how two, three or four creative minds can work together in order to arrive at a final product. As some of you might have heard, singer Kanye West has collaborated with Louis Vuitton for a shoe line. I’m going to go out on a limb and say, I’m not a fan. While I come across images of these shoes, what I am more interested in would without a doubt have to be the Louis Vuitton bags he has in toe. In this image, you see an up close and personal image of a Camouflage Louis Vuitton Bag. Unfortunately, I don’t have information on where you can buy it or how much it is, but let’s have a little fun here. What do you think? Last week I talked about Heidi’s Chanel Manicure, which definitely stirred some debate. So when I came across this bag, I thought it might do the same. For those of you who LOVE all things and everything Louis Vuitton and for those of you who just like to admire any handbag you can, what do you think? You see it now, but do you wish you never had?

I know, it is some sort of travesty that I do not own a Balenciaga bag. My collection is vast and covers many designers, but for an amount of time I could not see the craze behind the bags. When the giant hardware was added, Balenciaga got me right in the heart. As a self-proclaimed clutch lover, the Balenciaga Arena Giant Envelope is a stunning funky and edgy clutch. Designed with the signature lambskin, the wrinkled flap front with a magnetic closure offers a fun take on a fold over clutch. There is a zipper pocket and silver-toned hardware. I love this clutch and if I could figure out exactly what color to buy, I would (of course if in my small allotted bag budget for the year).
Red Jimmy Choo Lohla Patent Hobo
This Red Jimmy Choo Lohla Patent Hobo is an update to its original Lohla bag, but it is much more sophisticated and classic.

Jimmy Choo Mave Foldover Clutch I suppose my repeated love of this clutch is jumping out and telling me to buy it. ‘Quit just staring at me and coveting me’ it says, ‘rather snatch me up!’. Ok, already! You don’t have to twist my arm much. I have covered the Jimmy Choo Marin Clutch many times, in a variety of leathers, colors, and styles. And now, there is this bright electric green leather on the Jimmy Choo Mave Foldover Clutch. It reminds me of the 80′s, with psychedelic neon colors. Is that a bad thing? I mean, come on, I live in South Florida. The glitz and glam rules the streets and I could totally pull this off. Knowing me, I will opt for a more toned-down version, but there is something neon funky about this. Makes me want to go out for a Ladies 80′s night! This Mave Foldover Clutch features bright green leather with suede panels. There is gold hardware and my favorite, the wristlet handle. This clutch is made to be used. Some clutches just take over your hand, or have to go under your arm, but the functionality of the wrist strap is priceless

Gucci Babouska Shopping Handbag
My first impression on this Gucci handbag is just so-so. How about you? My little fashionistas, tell me truly – is this not the loudest color you have ever seen? There are a lot of brightly colored Gucci handbags out there, and most of them I can understand even if I don’t quite like them. But Replica Sunglasses this is the first one that has actually made my eyes hurt. This is eye bleedingly loud. It’s so loud it’s practically obnoxious, and I do want to apologize for subjecting all your dear little Gucci loving eyes to it I just had to share the horror. Like say, though, I like the bag itself. This is the Gucci babouska Shopping handbag – apparently, they actually needed to let us know it’s red, as if we could not tell that it is the same color as the substance which leaks from our eyeballs whenever we look at it. It’s made of calfskin leather, which is absolutely sumptuous. It has two pockets on the outside, the sides are adjustable, and it even comes with a key ring. The only problem is that you can’t possibly carry it around without searing the corneas of everyone you pass. Review: CC Skye Large Bardot Bag I feel like we have let you all down.

Odd Ruched Burberry Bag
As Burberry is known for its classic checkered print design, more and more people prefer other Burberry design except original one. But then, I think Burberry is still in the process of experimenting. I’m not sure though, but this Ruched Spray Satchel looks a bit odd. Well, it is stylish and in fact very functional with its 15 x 11? x 8 inches large dimension. May be the top to bottom ruching and the Bordeaux color with toned ombré pattern do not get along well. This bag has silver hardware, a top Designer bags zip closure, interior zip and cell phone pockets, and protective metal feet. You can carry this bag over the shoulder with its optional shoulder strap, or take it on your arm with its flat double handles.

Katie Holmes Fendi Snakeskin F3 Secret Code Bag The new bag of choice for Katie Holmes? Well it is an interesting Fendi number that can clearly be loved or hated quite easily. Katie Holmes was spotted out sporting a funky cross-body bag, the Fendi Snakeskin F3 Secret Code Bag.

Gucci Bamboo Medium Top Handle Bag
Among Gucci products bamboo has been used for watches, sunglasses, bracelets as well as handbags. What’s more, these designs create a great vogue in fashion world. The name, Bamboo, makes me associate it with Eco product, so it is easy to evoke people’s environmental consciousness, which may be one of the reasons behind its popularity.

LaROK VestEd Interest Jacket
Have you guys missed me? Well, have you even noticed I haven’t been around as much? No? Ok, well, a girl can hope, right? But even so, the huge event for which we’ve been planning and preparing over at my day job is over, meaning that I have some time to do things other than go to work, eat, sleep, and worry! Excellent, right?
So the first thing I’m going to bring you post-apocalypse is something that made me stop and look twice when perusing ShopBop today (Megs & Co. lured me to their site with news of their oh-so-rare sale code!), and rarely do I look twice. I popped over to their jackets section in hopes of finding a cute coat for winter (that I’ll never wear, since it’s going to be 85 degrees in Georgia for the rest of my life), and when I saw the LaRok VestEd Interest jacket (+1 for punning), I stopped and looked harder.
Top 10 Latest Louis Vuitton Handbags-No.5 Louis Vuitton Kalahari PM-In LVoe of Sophistication
I don’t know if I was attractive by Madona or the Louis Vuitton Kalahari PM, but LV 2009 Ad campaign is absolutely intriguing. Gosh, she is such a perfect model for LV. Who can resist the sophistication and sensuality nurtured by time and wisdom? Although Monogram Multicolor Canvas collection has been a hit since its launch but few LV aficionados will take it seriously rather than a gizmo. In the other hand, LV has been criticized for its conservatism for years. Among the 2009 spring and summer collection, we can easily identify some familiar faces. That’s why this Kalahari Handbag breaks away from the pact. Between the dilemma of tradition and innovation, it chooses the gridlock’s porridge.
Grafted with Monogram Canvas, Vuitton Kalahari PM measures 9.8″ x 9″ x 3.9″ supplying enough space for daily use. You just need pack all your stuff up and hand or elbow it to anywhere with the comfortable flat natural cowhide handles. It is trimmed with natural cowhide and metallic leather to offer additional protection and unique flavor. There are several golden brass pieces on the monogram canvas which makes the iconic pattern shinning and vivid. The flap is huge and the drawstring is adjustable but the pompons, resin and metal eyelets on the bottom of the drawstring grabs attentions without effort.
Lined with microfiber, the Vuitton Kalahari PM features a flat pocket and a phone pocket inside. That’s handy. But compared with functionality, I appreciate more on the savagery exuding from the rounded shape. The name Kalahari comes from a desert in southwest Africa where an animated feature film slated in 2009 is being produced to discover the desolate and wild world. Time is unstoppable. Our happiness and sorrow are just as transient as a fleeting cloud. Eventually we can’t do nothing but accept the truth that we are not younger any more then we raise our head, laugh it out and move forward with the Vuitton Kalahari PM.
Louis Vuitton Farandole Bracelet
I’ve been a casual watcher (although, admittedly, not buyer) of Louis Vuitton jewelry for several years now. My thoughts are normally mixed; they have some very chic, very wearable designs, but I’m not entirely sure that I’d want to buy a piece of obviously branded jewelry (this goes, as well, for Chanel’s beautiful but logo-clad costume jewelry line). I particularly like their resin bracelets as a cute pick-me-up to an otherwise basic casual outfit without piling on an inappropriate amount of bling.

VBH Alligator Compact Clutch
Call me naive, but when I began to truly delve into the world of exotic skin handbags I did not realize the plethora of treatments and finishes used to differentiate one exotic skin from the next. I am the proud owner of an alligator Hermes Kelly Wallet which features a matte finish rather than shiny. But there is a completely different treatment process for croc and alligator that I yearn after, which leaves the exotic skin with a suede effect. Bottega Veneta is a brand that carries out this process immaculately. The Bottega Veneta artisans soak the skin in water, then finish the treatment by pounding it out and then hand brushing each scale (surely like other brands do when adding this effect to a bag). This leaves the skin with a suede feeling which is like no other. The sueded alligator still offers the volume and dimension with a silky smooth touch.
I have not seen this done by VBH before, a brand that is known for their clutches, but the VBH Alligator Compact Clutch garners all attention with its regal violet suede alligator skin. The design of the clutch is rather simple, featuring a rectangular compact shape with contrast trim. The inside lining offers a glimmer of sparkle and a VBH plaque. The outside speaks for itself, amassing an understanding of elegance in its own right. I do not own an alligator sueded bag but I would love to, and will continue my search.
Louis Vuitton Knightsbridge Bag and its Maintenance
View at the first glance, you may consider this Louis Vuitton Handbags crafted in Damier canvas rather dressy due to its shape. To me, I was attracted by its name at the very beginning. Is it something connected with knight? Later I found out that it takes its name from a trendy area in London, and its shape is inspired by the classic doctor bag.
With a size of 10″ x 7.7″ x 5.5″, the bag is rather spacious for holding all your essentials. It is made of iconic Damier canvas, red micro fiber lining and smooth leather trimmings. It is inner safety guaranteed by gold brass zipper closures, and its outside pocket has a buckle closure. Double leather handles are for hand held and it has protective golden brass feet at the bottom. In a sentence, the bag is adorable and functional as a whole. How do you like this bag? It is definitely a worth buying, especially if you happen to be a doctor.
When mention Damier canvas, here are some tips on how to maintain and care the material. The classic Damier canvas was designed in 1888, and has remained contemporary over the decades. Its geometry and sobriety make its timeless. This canvas is perfect not only on feminine and sophisticated styles but also on unisex and casual ones. You should be cautious so as not to scratch your bag and avoid shocks. Keep it dry and protect it from direct sources of heat (radiators, car interiors in summer). To clean your product, you can wipe it with a soft and dry cloth. Never use soap or solvent.
Review: JT Italia HB Satchel
Vlad and I have recently had the pleasure of getting to know JT Italia Handbags one-on-one. After featuring the line a month ago, we realized that without seeing, touching, and learning about the bags in person we were missing out. Jeffrey Parker (the J of JT) and I worked out a meeting between Purse Blog and JT Italia bags in person, which included a box filled with goodies to review. By having the bags in our hands, we have been able to inspect every detail, have me try them on, and really learn what the bags are all about. Can I just tell you that these bags show a love and true understanding of handbags with each and every stitch, with the leather chosen, with the attention to detail. There is no detail or piece left behind when it comes to JT Italia Handbags, in fact the focus relies so heavily on every detail it was hard to capture to show you all
