Net-A-Porter Sale Continues
Posted on May 21st, 2009 No commentsNet-A-Porter Sale Continues,After a busy weekend with the family, I am somewhat back into the swing of things now. I find myself constantly checking back to find what bag I must have that is so reasonable now that it is finally on sale. My behind is sore from kicking it over missing two of my favorite clutches, so now I am going to try to re-justify all of this by making a larger purchase. Two designer handbags that have my eye today are the Miu Miu Nappa Leather Bag and the Fendi Patent Leather B Bag. Surprisingly, the Miu Miu bag caught my fancy at Saks the other day. It is light and fluffy so to speak and the optional across body strap is perfect for everyday use. It is a thin strap, so don’t carry everything but the kitchen sink in the bag and expect the strap to hold. But I really was delighted with the way the bag fit. As far as the Fendi Patent Leather B Bag goes I am a huge fan of this bag and the pink patent leather has my girly side head-over-heels in love

Woven Leather Hobo Miu Miu
Posted on May 18th, 2009 No commentsMiu Miu Woven Leather Hobo,I have a strong feeling that I am going to nab some heat for liking this bag. But you know what, I just can not help it, I love this bag! I popped into Saks a few days ago and an array of new Miu Miu bags were on display. I glanced over many of them, stopping at this interesting number. The Miu Miu Woven Leather Hobo is reminiscent of its love-or-hate sister the Prada Fringe Bag. The Prada Fringe Bag was in the spotlight as an eyesore to many, but it had this odd little quality that grew on me. And now this Miu Miu bag has me looking and liking too. The brown woven leather is actually quite soft to the touch, guaranteed to become more supple with age. I know, I know, Bottega Veneta is the woven leather genius, but this is not too shabby. And the fringe is only trimmed along the bag. I tried it on and it had a hippie-chic appeal with a touch of Western. There is a handle across the top and the option of a detachable shoulder strap. For all of you who hate it, join Vlad in the dislike of this bag. I may be a lone ranger, but I am enjoying myself while enjoying this bag.

Nappa Frame Tote Miu Miu bag

Geri Halliwell Style: Miu Miu Nappa Frame Tote,Earlier today I asked for a little help identifying the handbag Gerri Halliwell was seen sporting. It took you all no time to figure it out, pointing me in the direction of Miu Miu! A special thanks to Kath for being the first to send us the link. The bag of choice of Ginger Spice was the Miu Miu Nappa Frame Tote which features a frame top with golden hardware and black Nappa leather. This is a very clean and sophisticated look from Miu Miu, which is easy to see why Geri paired it with her refined white coat. This handbag can polish off an outfit easily. There is a detachable crossbody strap, but wearing this as a messenger bag will take away the elegant touch. Dimensions are 13″W X 12″H X 5″D. -
Framed Fold Over Clutch Miu Miu
Posted on May 18th, 2009 No comments
Miu Miu Framed Fold Over Clutch, Upon first glance this bag looks awkward. It is a different look with a different appeal. When this Miu Miu bag first popped up on Net A Porter I was confused by both the purse and my feelings towards the purse. But then it sold out (in a teal hue) before I had time to really sit and think it over. Now the Miu Miu Framed Fold Over Clutch is back in a peonia soft nappa leather with a gold tone frame. While you hold this clutch by the leather top, you must place it with the gold clasp facing up to open it. The color is perfect for what this season craves; bold colors and accessories. Yet the set up of the clutch is different from the norm and I am not sure I can love it fully. It almost looks as a clam on its side, asking for you to open it up. And when you do, the bag expands like a bag of tricks. Either way I can not deem this drab, because a part of me likes it. It is just that the other part of me is confused by it. What do you think about this Miu Miu handbag? -
Matellase Luxe Convertible Miu Miu Bag
Posted on May 18th, 2009 No commentsMiu Miu Matellase Luxe Convertible Bag,The Miu Miu Coffer has become one of the most well-known staples of the Miu Miu Brand. In fact, in the recent years the Coffer is to Miu Miu as the Gauffre is the Prada. There is a special touch to the Coffer that makes it so desirable. It has the added bonus of a detachable crossbody strap which provides ease of use, which we all love. The compilation of the perfectly gathered leather, smooth top flap, and deep blue color makes the Miu Miu Matellase Luxe Convertible Bag warm my heart. My love for this bag has lasted for quite some time, and I truly do not know why I do not take the plunge. Of all color options, the blue rich leather is stunning. The outside has two snap pockets and the inside is lined with satin and has a pocket.

Oversized Metallic Clutch Miu Miu BAGS
Posted on May 17th, 2009 No commentsMiu Miu Oversized Metallic Clutch,Before writing this I realize that I may give you all the impression that Vlad and I are nothing other than bumps on logs. Not the case, but I am well aware that it may come off that way. Upon first glance this clutch screams ‘take me with you on new Year’s Eve!!’. And then I thought to myself, what is it that we will be doing on New Year’s Eve this year? And then I thought about what we have done years prior, which has been truly mellow and involves a very small group at home. And then I felt lame. But I must say that for the past two years we have had horrible jet lag each time. Either way, that is neither here nor there, as this year we are going out with close friends of ours! And what will I wear?!
My bag must be a statement handbag. Nothing simple, nothing obscure, and surely nothing safe. New Year’s Eve is not about the safe bet, it is about the fun outfit. The outfit that typically can not be worn many other times of year, but will work perfectly for that one night. Jazzy, boisterous, ornate, even bordering on tacky. And the best way to really snazz up your outfit is with your accessories. This Miu Miu bag is even walking the safe line, but it still offers the perfect amount of glitz and glam. This gold leather Miu Miu Oversized Metallic Clutch has pleat detailing and gone tone hardware. It is jazzy and perfect to lift your look. And now I need to go plan a great outfit for New Year’s
