Here we go again, another ad that I adore, this time, from Yves Saint Laurent. Christy Turlington looks absolutely gorgeous here (well actually, she’s just gorgeous). I really love the 90s vibe to the ad. It’s classic and eye-catching. The contrasting black and white with Christy’s red lips; it’s visually stunning. And the black leather tote pictured here is as lovely as the supermodel. I think they did a great job.

Quite frankly, I’m not sure what to say about these bags that coach came out with. It’s a little extravagant to what they usually provide to the public. This Poppy line really does pop out at you. Some of the bags are designs I never expected to come out of this company. I suppose I’m use to just seeing bag shapes that made coach famous. They’re trying something different and it’s really standing out. The Poppy Appique Tote looks like a makeshift version of the limited Murakami LV edition.

Oh, Coach. Sometimes less is more.

The picture above shows a model wearing a Celine Snakeskin handbag at one of Celine’s store location.

Do you gals fear snakes? Well, anything related to snakes just creep me out! I guess it is unfortunate for me because it seems that the new and popular trend today is snakeskin handbags. Boy, do I hate this fashion statement! Not only do I feel that these bags are hideous, they also gross me out!

I think I should form a protest group and invite a bunch of animal activists to protest this repulsive fashion statement. This protest will be partly for my selfish reasons and partly for saving the earth’s animals. Once this fashion statement ceases, I no longer will be out of the fashion loop. What a clever idea, wouldn’t you think so?

Who would you choose? When looking at both clutches, they seem quite similar.

Christian Louboutin’s clutch (top) is slightly smaller and measures about 9L x 4W x 2H”. It’s made of a shiny lurex exterior with a magnetic flap opening. It retails for about $725.

Valentino’s clutch (bottom) seems to be a bit roomier than Louboutin’s. It measures about 10L x 5W x 1H”. It’s made of high gloss patent leather with a sateen lining. It opens at the top with a zip closure instead of being magnetic. It retails for about $985.

They both have pretty steep price tags, but I say Valentino won out this one, but don’t worry Louboutin, I will always heart your shoes more!

I saw this picture and thought it was too funny not to blog about it. Karl Lagerfeld is seen here carrying a Karl Who? Bag designed by Naco Paris. I mean Karl Lagerfeld is in my opinion sort of like a king of fashion, since I love Chanel, and he’s been known to be a genius not only in his creative designs, but also in other fields of art including photography. If you have seen his recent photo ads with Jerry Hall for the Chanel Spring 2009 Handbag Collection, those are all shot by Karl Lagerfeld himself. Standing and posing here in his signature white tied back hair, sunglasses and suit, he carries this canvas bag with great humor. You gotta love Karl.

I was so excited when I heard about this upcoming collaboration, I mass texted my sisters and all my shopping buddies. Jimmy Choo is designing a clothing and accessories collection for H&M! Jimmy Choo shoes, handbags, and clothes for a very affordable price? How could anyone possibly complain about that? They’re even coming out with pieces for men.

I already love shopping at H&M, but somehow, they just keep getting better and better. Now, I just have to try and be patient because the collection won’t be for sale until November 14th. Oh boy, I can’t wait!

For me, I either love or hate Marc Jacob’s pieces. Sometimes he knows how to woo me, and sometimes I just want to look away. It’s a “love it or hate it” type of relationship with Marc. But when I came across this new Marc Jacob bag, I was blown away with how intricate the detailing is. The Kasia bag is one of the most unique bags I have ever encountered. It felt like love at first sight. There are bunch of these cutout wave strips that are then stitched onto the bag to give the flowing feeling. I like the mix between structure and free form. The different textures definitely give it character. The Kasia bag speaks for itself. I would have to say it’s one of those bags that will definitely catch my attention in a pool of handbags.

Marc Jacob Lita

Marc Jacob Bruna

The Kasia bag is a part of the Fall 09 bag collection, which means it should be coming out soon. It’s sister bags are the Lita (in black) and Bruna (in aqua). My advice for you is to keep an eye out for this bag! If I see you carrying this bag, I will make an effort you congratulate your excellent taste.

Anyhow, I was looking for gift ideas to get for my dad and somehow I managed to stumble upon golf bags. What a great idea I thought to myself! I then remembered that Louis Vuitton also made a golf bag, so I looked further into that genre. When I saw the price tag, I quickly closed my internet browser. The darn thing costs over $8000. I love my dad, but that is too much for my blood!
