Mini Review: Céline Luggage tote

are there certain bags in your collection that you specifically remember the thrill of the chase? I do, and this was one of them for me. We were living in nyc at the time and the Céline Luggage tote was all the rage. The minute I saw it in Cobalt Blue, I knew I needed it: this was MY COLOR. minor problem; finding one was near impossible. This was pre-kids when I had much a lot more complimentary time and less worries, so I started going to different stores and inquiring and then I went to Barneys NY (RIP) and put my name on the list there. The sales associate said “I think you might get lucky”. and he was right.

A few days later he called me back and I hopped in a cab to get uptown to see my beauty. I remember other people shopping in the store that saw my bag being brought out and gasping at it as well! She was a stunner, and she was mine. If you ask me, I’ll tell you this was the best color ever produced by Céline for its luggage totes. The leather is really thick but also soft, which makes it prone to scratching. aside from that, this bag is pristine.

Over time, the Céline Luggage tote became so big that I found it played out and I retired my Luggage Totes into my closet, rarely carrying them again. However, when Phoebe Philo left the brand, #oldceline became desired and new again, so I am thrilled I never parted with this beauty.

Which Luggage Totes do you have, I know so lots of of you have them?! I saw a few pre-loved Cobalt Blue Luggage Totes available when I searched through resale sites, but they were sites I was not as familiar with, so I didn’t want to send you that way. Fashionphile has a great assortment of Luggage Totes that I recommend you check out.

That might all modification in the coming weeks, however, as she’s likewise a rumored replacement for Britney Spears.

Fendi Tokyo Squirrel denim Spy

in some cases I wonder where the high-end fashion designers take their inspirations from. For this Fendi “Tokyo Squirrel” Crystal and embroidery on denim Spy, it is quite apparent where the idea for this version came from. It makes me chuckle to think of a designer strolling through a park in suburban Tokyo, seeing two squirrels doing their thing and turning it into a limited edition handbag. Whatever works, I guess. This doesn’t rank among my favorites, but I still wanted to give it an honorable mention, because it’s Fendi weekend and all…

Rebecca Minkoff Loveletter Leopard morning After small satchel

Wednesday night, I went to Kelly Cutrone’s book signing at a Border’s in Atlanta (I’ll have a full publish about that on Monday at PurseBlog), and, predictably, there were a great deal of fascinating looks going on among the over 700 people that turned as much as hear Cutrone response concerns as well as get a moment of deal with time with her. One woman in specific stuck out to me, as well as everything started since she was bring the Rebecca Minkoff Loveletter Leopard morning After small Satchel.

In this picture, admittedly, the bag does not look all that great. It may even look a bit inexpensive right here (and even in genuine life, I still believed the cleaned gold hardware looked surprisingly down-market), however it was a million times much better on this girl’s arm as well as with the attire she selected than in any type of pictures I’ve seen. in some cases in the realm of accessories, a bag’s context can make a world of difference.

I truly ought to have taken a picture of this girl, since her attire was like a situation research study in exactly how to mix patterns as well as look stylish instead of appearing like a mental patient. She paired this leopard-print bag with black skinny jeans, a tank, as well as a cardigan in a grey, magenta as well as blue pattern that handled to be both contemporary as well as somewhat 80s at the exact same time. The mood of the sweater’s pattern matched the leopard print perfectly, even though their colors weren’t the same. Not only did her attire make sense, however it made the bag look much more helpful as well as stylish in the process. purchase with Bloomingdale’s for $615.

Tom Binns accessories

AlohaRag of Hawaii explains Tom Binns as an “an Irish designer full of anger”. Frankly, I can see where that is coming from. Whether his styles are truly “showcasing his imagination as well as boldness, while at the exact same time producing lots of controversy” is truly as much as the eye of the beholder to judge. To me, I am not rather sure what demographic niche Tom is trying to market his creations to. I don’t see a pale goth woman in black using golden dagger earrings, nor do I want to photo an stylish towngirl sport the bombastic Mickey pendant on a girl’s night out. Perhaps, it’s geared towards the contemporary rebel who has called out her personal Jihad on those aspects of life that treat her unfairly? I don’t know. perhaps I am ignorant. Please tell if I am.

Prices variety from $154 for the earrings, to a spectacular $340 for the grendade keychain. offered through Aloha Rag.

A look inside Goyard’s new house in new York City

Goyard is one of few brands that has both a long, storied history as well as a sense of secret about it. up until recently, the only location to purchase Goyard in new York City was at little shops in Barneys as well as Bergdorf Goodman, however the brand has a long history with NYC. during the late 19th century, Goyard trunks were provided at the renowned Wanamaker’s in downtown Manhattan.

Earlier this year, Goyard chose to make a long-term house on east 63rd street in Manhattan’s upper east Side. The store is a few steps from Madison Avenue, inside a five-story townhouse made from Indiana limestone as well as red brick. The building emanates a sense of Parisian style, however it’s firmly planted with nyc appeal as well.

Vlad as well as I were invited to take a look at the store as well as share its lovely features with you. This was beyond interesting for us; Goyard is a brand that mostly shies away from the Internet, though we do have an entire subforum devoted to the brand on our PurseForum.

When you step inside the store, it feels like you are in a personal residency; the only difference is it’s lined with delightful as well as skillfully crafted leather goods. The entryway is elegant, with a Parisian-inspired mosaic archway that leads into a choice of handbags, accessories as well as unique pieces. If you were searching for a backgammon game or picnic trunk made by the craftsman of Goyard, you can discover it here.

There is an open courtyard as well, set up with white Riviera patio furniture. You can then take a mahogany staircase to the next floor, which homes a vintage trunk library, together with a cupboard of curiosities as well as pet accessories.

The store is begging to be perused, not only to see the Goyard products however to take in the remarkable style as well as completing of the interior, as well. though it’s in the heart of NYC, when you go into the store, you will feel like you’ve been transported into a different location as well as time. welcome to new York City, Maison Goyard; we are pleased to have you.

Visit the store at 20 E 63rd St, new York, NY 10065. The store is open everyday from 10am to 6pm, as well as closes at 7pm on Thursdays.
