Wishlist: Be&D Genesis

So my quest for a perfect everyday bag continues. And I think I just stroke gold! As my Miu Miu Coffer is looking more and more ragged, this Be&D doppelganger might just be a perfect substitute! At around $1000 USD, it’s on the lower pricing end of luxury bags, yet the size and design of it seem perfect. I, especially, love the fact that it has a cross-body strap, which is perfect for those days when I need two free hands while running errands around town. The leather looks nice and durable and while Genesis does have that Coffer quality to it, it’s also much more simple than my Miu Miu. I think…it might just be the one!

Coulda, Shoulda…

A couple of years ago, when this colorful Prada collection was still in stores, I was mulling over this clutch for a while. In the end, I decided that the colors were too loud and I wouldn’t love it months/years later. Well, two years after, this Tommy Ton photo from NYFW is sparking jealousy and regrets. I really wish I had bought it when I had the opportunity. It’s a perfect size, and the color is not too loud, and it matches her fingernails, and…Damn! I hate coulda, shoulda, wouldas.

Guess The Price!

Okay, so before you start guessing, you need to know that this is not an easter basket left over from last year’s egg hunt…and it is is made by Chanel. Haha. Yes, that Chanel! Remember the Spring/Summer 2010 barn show? Well, this was one of the “bags” that the models carried. If you thought that this “bag” was made out of recycled flower baskets, stuffed with some straw and hay…you were almost right! Now how much would you shell out for this piece of crap art?

Guess the price and then click to see if you were right!

What I’m Wearing: Oui Oui Paris!

oui

Last weekend, le boyfriend and I headed to Buffalo, NY to do some shopping. While he got loads of stuff, for me, the trip was somewhat fruitless. I did get a Laundry dress for Jen’s wedding (maybe), as well as a couple of smaller items, but nothing major. My favorite buy from the entire trip was this $1.50 Forever21 shopping bag!

If you live in Ontario, you know that we pay 5 cents per plastic bag when shopping pretty much anywhere, unless they have paper ones. As this is quite good for the environment, I don’t mind it at all, but in order to shop green (and in style), I am always on the lookout for cute shopping bags to carry with me…just like this one! Not only does it have an Eiffel tower on it, hearts, and a Vespa (my favourite things!), but also a girl with a striped shirt on, holding a camera! Sold! I don’t know why, but smaller things like this bag, sometimes make me happier than larger purchases! Is it because cheaper items come without the guilt?
