Katie’s New Fendi Bag

katie-holmes-fendi-bag

Look at this, I was almost convinced to take that as the new post for the film 007. The temperament of Katie Holmes is always unfeminine, but in this post…er…she looks a little bit cool which fits the image of 007 ladies. Why? Perhaps due to the bag she is wearing. If you are the big fan of Fendi, you’ll find this bag is similar to Fendi Stamped F6 Secret Code Bag. The difference between them is this one called Fendi Snakeskin F3 Secret Code Bag which is made by genuine snakeskin. OMG, it seems like a tongue twister. Well, forget it, just focus on this Fendi xxx Bag. I like its name, which adds some supernatural feeling to this bag. In regard to the favourite part, the genuine sodalite stone embellishments with logo-engraved settings should be the first. It can reminds me of the cat eye or something related miraculous power. Aha, quite agree with the secret code subject.

This limited version bag drives lots of women scrambling for it, with unassailable craftsmanship coordinating with delicate structure and classic lines, it’s hard for people to push it away. It’s said that the inspiration came from the strongbox and the round precious stones represent the lock of strongbox. But the extra long strap has totally spoiled my appetite, so weird!!! Personally speaking, to carry this as a handbag is enough and best. There are two pouch pockets under the flap and an interior patch pocket. Dimensioned by 12.5?x 7.75?x 4.25?, it’s available at $3840. Who is the next idiot purchasing this not too bad bag for such a high price?

Sonia Rykiel Stud Fringe Handbag

sonia_rykiel_stud_fringe_handbag

 

 Who the Hell is Sonia Rykiel? Yep, this is a song on McLaren’s 1995 album Paris. But I would like also to say Sonia Rykiel does truly exist. She is the queen of the fashion world in France.

 

The first image of Sonia left on me is a cunning fox. I’m not exaggerating, look at her flaming red hair and sly wink in her eyes; she’s just like a lovely fox. And the reason why she entered the fashion world is unique as well—for she couldn’t find any soft sweaters to wear when she was pregnant so she began to design her own. Although her best known by people is the sweater and just due to it, she is regarded as the “Queen of Knitwear”, her designs also include the scarf, perfume and even the book writing.

 

So you can see her unique flair from any piece of her creations. When the fringe trend is blowing from the summer to fall even, this Sonia Rykiel Stud Fringe Handbag is definitely your new choice. Unlike the similar patterned bags, this chic is gorgeous for its creamily soft leather and soigne tassel on both sides, especially the tiny tidy cute rivets on the flap. Therefore, it perfectly combines the fringe trend with the rivet trend, what a wonderful association.

 

With the measurement of 8″ x 11″, but this a bit small size is priced at $945. Er, it’s really a racket… Available in turquoise, rose and black, and I recommend the first color. Black and rose are too common, but turquoise looks gentle and feminine, which can balances the punky rivets. In a word, this is your must have.

BRUFFLE_BLACK-PARIS_zoom.jpg

Yep, the designer I has introduce is a popular shoe maker. But it is he that designed this lovely bag—Sweet Ruffles. Sometimes I was wondering how male designers could create so many bags full of femininity. Look at this cutie, the raspberry color reminds me of the strawberry, I’d almost want to bite it. And the ruffles allover the bag cntribute to the cuteness and saucy feeling. What’s more, the black and pewter shades are equally luscious. Ahahhaaha.. my mouth is watering… Would any one withstand sugar-coated shells attacks? Not me anyway…

Unnurwear Takes You to Iceland

forsida.jpg

It was said Iceland was the least populous country to win an Olympic medal. Nobody will doubt it. However, with my sudden fever for this mysterious land, you will get to know the Icelander are not that lame, at least in fashion field, they have created their own world through their talent.

unnurwear.jpg

Besides the “wreath” bag designer, here, Unnurwear has also drawn people’s attention gradually. The Icelandic Unnur Fridriksdottir, founded the company UNNURWEAR, in 2006, making high quality handbags, accessories and clothing for fashion forward women all over the world. Unnur’s specialty is using sea-leather in her handbags…yes sea-leather! After all the name UNNUR means in Icelandic “the waves of the ocean”. However, in using sea-leather Unnurwear is contributing to sustainable fashion, and not endangering any species. What a killing two birds with one stone!

 

The new Fall/Winter 2009 collection of grown-up bags and accessories, in rich jewel and gold hues, is made from farm-grown Icelandic salmon and farm-grown African perch… it sounds fishy, but it looks gorgeous. Sea leather smells and wears just like real leather but let us with a fear of snakes enjoy the on-trend and oh-so-sexy snakeskin look.

And among this series, the one carried by Model ELISABET Earth is my preference. It’s a wonderful tropical design through those colorful stripes. And the snake-embossed leather adds to some tough feeling. If I have enough cash, I won’t hesitate for a second to purchase this bag and make it as my essential during my field exploration in contemplation. Rather than being ordinary among the crowd, I’m more likely to select some unique of European sophistication but different finish to be stand out.

Hrafnhildur Guerúnardóttir & Hidden Goods

Hrafnhildur Guerúnardóttir was born in 1979 in Reykjavik, Iceland, and she graduated from the School of Design Art Institute in 2004. Perhaps due to the magic of Iceland or her own keen fashion sense to the characteristics of the women’s slim design, Hrafnhildur Guerúnardóttir is inspired to combine retro design and fashion together. She loves fabrics and their sense of folding up and downs and turn overlap with the density of the 19th century costumes and its mysticism, which take the effect of a dimly, quite not common in her series—Hidden Goods handbags.

 

However, no offense, my first impressions on those hidden goods are various colored wreaths or garlands. Originally ruffles and bows are women’s favourite and used often in designed bags or clutches, but Hrafnhildur seems to be exaggerating. My dear friends, please look at this pic carefully, can you tell me what does the model wear? For me, not exactly. So the only advantage of those big wreathes is that—when you don’t know which bag to bring out and what to dress at the same time, hidden goods can solve both of them synchronously. Cauze when you carry one of them, nobody will care about what you have dressed, even who carries it.

 

For the people who are ahead of our time, those full of several ruffles put together with a bow like handle to rest on your shoulder bags might be you best choice to stand out. Available in colors red, purple, green grey and pink in three sizes which can match with the glad rags.

Not in a popular style this time, this chic satchel would be the best choice for the retro lovers.

Foley+Corinna Bar Bag

foley-corinna-bar-clutch.jpg

With the hot broadcast of Gossip Girl, there is a fashion brand becoming more and more popular gradually and in a short time it has occupied an important part in the fashion world—that is Foley+Corinna.

 

This brand is a unrivalled mixture of fashion house founded by a former dramatist  Anna Corinna and a former receptionist Dana Foley. As a virtual unknown on the fashion stage, Foley& Corinna has become popular all thanks to the hot drama Gossip Girls.  Without any redundant decoration, the Foley+Corinna bags are natural and at ease, so they can perfectly reflect the downtown girls’ confidence and leisureliness. And that’s why the GG is apt to their designs. 

 foley-corinna-bar-clutch-front-150x150.jpg

But wait… what’s this? Something kinda a banner attached a black flag or a piece of leather?! Parden? Foley+Corinna Bar Bag?!!! Are you kidding me? It’s too difficult to convince myself that is truth. Sometimes I even think none of the words could describe it exactly. The size is too smaller for a clutch but the handle is too limited for a handbag. Instead of opening on the end with the handle, it has a full zip opening on the side, hidden where a seam would normally be. OK, from a weird angle, this bag offers unique charm with unique shape. It’s geek enough for you to stand out of the crowd. Ladies, $268 each, do you want this? Well, please let me go…

gucciny1lhm.jpg

Recently all the media are reporting various news about the National Day in China. October 1st is the anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949 and celebrated as China’s National Holiday. An important occasion, the holiday is celebrated all of the People’s Republic of China.

 

With the excitement when thinking of this week-long holiday, I saw this bag so coincided with my mood. Although it’s not released recently, it’s yet worth of my writing. Why? Because “Gucci?NY ” bag was designed to commemorate Gucci’s new pad with the new Gucci store opening at the Trump building.

 

As a matter of fact, this Gucci Hearts NY Bag was not designed too complicated. On the contrary, the designer Giannini just applied Gucci’s iconic webbing and its GG pattern canvas and overthrew the former green&red&green stripes, rewriting them in stylish, shining, fresh and natural blue&red&blue version white, making the bottom brush with white shiny GG canvas. Simple but sophisticated. And the classical colors can be match always with any casual or official wearing.
