Book It

Being an avid book-lover, I'm totally sold on this new trend. Top pic is Chanel's version and bottom two are from Hoakonhelga .  So cute and brainy-chic!

Yes Please.

 

Dr. Martens Spring/Summer 2011 Satchel

 

Apparently only a limited number of 350 pieces -whaaaat? I'm not seeing them available on the US site, just the UK store. I need, no WANT the black one naturally. The red is pretty awesome too..125 pounds is pretty steep but its DM and since their legendary boots are built to last, I'm hoping the same goes for their bags.  Currently rocking a BDG satchel I bought at Urban not too long ago and unfortunately it's already showing signs of wear along the edges and seams. Not real leather, cheap, but the look is cute. Can't afford a Proenza so this would be a nice in-between. I love the fact that these bags have the clear pocket on the front too -perfect for business cards!

Mulberry for Target

Already sold-out online but still available at select stores...I don't know...I'm really leaning towards these for some reason. They remind me of a chic cross between a Betsey Johnson bag and a Hermes Birkin. There's something simple and elegant about them where the satchels look roomy enough for any occasion, yet super sophisticated for evening attire. I love the pink leopard too -edgy enough to turn something ordinary into a little bit hip. Yep, I'd welcome a Mulberry into my life.

Deadly Ponies

Skeleton Bag

Bags are like shoes. You always have waaay too many, yet you keep coming back for more. On my endless hunt for the perfect bag, I've bulldozed my way through a maelstrom of black leather and pleather, buckles and rubber, zippers and chains,reconstructed, recycled, re-purposed, studded chaos. (yeah, I like over-the-top, tough-chick bags) High-end to low-end, gothic chic to gutter punk, and occasionally some trendy knock-offs thrown in ... but....I still haven't found what I'm looking for and probably never will. (although this one could be my next victim.)
