In the couple of years that I’ve kept an eye on American brand Foley + Corinna, it is evident that the house has transformed their leather goods and accessories from rebel chic to what we see here, clean and simple. Coming across the Small Letter Bag, it surprised me how this piece lacked the dangling tassels, bulky silhouette and the casual distressed leather that most Foley + Corinna accessories possess.
I’ve always been a huge fan of Chloe, especially the See by Chloe line. Mostly because Chloe has always been on the pricey side and the See by Chloe line is a tad bit more affordable. OK, it’s a lot more affordable. I’ve also always been a fan of Hello Kitty. Not an overzealous fan that buys tons of Hello Kitty merchandise but I’ve always thought she was cute. It’s fun to go to the Flag Ship store in New York, to see the higher end Hello Kitty goodies.
I bring this all up because when I saw the See by Chloe “Rodas” Sequin Party Bag I couldn’t help but think of Hello Kitty. It literally looks like something the kitty designed or would use as a handbag. The big bow, screams Hello Kitty!
Every time I go to New York I’m in awe with the way the women and men dress. I always look outside my hotel room every morning to see people scurrying to get to work in their business attire. I absolutely love when I see a woman in a pencil skirt and carrying a briefcase. I don’t know what it is about it, but I love that look. It’s classy and somewhat sexy I suppose.
When I saw the Madewell “Lil Briefcase” Bag, I was instantly in love! What I liked the most about it, is that it kind of has a vintage look to it! Always exciting when you find a brand new piece that emulates a vintage look.
I’m not too fond of shoulder bags, but when I see a color combination that is irresistible I can’t help but want the bag. I always love a gorgeous rich color leather and gold hardware. As we know, I always go for black leather handbags but I also like colors they just have to be dark. The Rebecca Minkoff “Swing” Bag, is a perfect example of a stunning handbag in a color I actually like with gold hardware. Perfect!
