Wishlist: MNO.logie Clutch

mnologie-celine-me-alone

So…just when I think I don’t need to buy anything else for a while, I end up finding something really cool and…I just can’t help myself. Such is the case with the amazing MNO.logie clutches. Handmade in Bali, these pretty and witty bags are a sight for sore eyes, and are affordable to boot. What’s not to love? You can have them personalized, or buy a couple of extra internal pouches to get a couple of clutches in one. Unsurprisingly, my faves are “Ain’t Laurent Without Yves” and “Céline Me Alone”, but the rest of MNO.logie’s products are just as cute! Needless to say…I ordered one, and will now have to endure a torturous month-long wait, since all orders are custom-made. Here’s hoping that it’s worth it!

Awesome news, lovelies! Banana Republic has just announced an exciting new holiday collaboration with designer/stylist/model/Mick Jagger’s girlfriend, the one and only –  L’Wren Scott! Known for her uber-glamorous designs, Scott has loyal fans among the likes of Nicole Kidman and SJP, and now, you and I will be able to add a piece or two of L’Wren Scott’s beautiful creations to our wardrobes! Hooray!

Clothes from the collection will be priced from $39.50 to $165, while accessory prices will range $39.50 to $198. That’s not too shabby for pieces made from luxe fabrics like brocade, velvet, and sequins! And judging from the sneak peek sketches (and one photo) released, I can already say that I’m a fan! I mean, that lip bag? Adorable, non?!

Wishlist: YSL Cassandre Tassel Bag

Yves-Saint-Laurent-Cassandre-Small-Tassel-Bag

Ever since I laid eyes on this exquisite (Yves) Saint Laurent Cassandre bag, I’ve been dreaming about it. It’s just so damn perfect – the sleek golden chain, the elegant and iconic logo, and of course, the playful tassel. The toughest part is choosing a colour…and of course, shelling out $1700+ for this beauty – a price tag I simply can’t justify at the moment. But dreaming is free…so here I am…staring at the beautiful Cassandre in patent and suede, red and black…wishing, wishing, wishing…

Danier Leather Spring 2013 Collection Preview

danier-leather-spring-2013

Earlier this week, I attended the Danier Leather Spring 2013 collection preview, which quite literally brightened up my day. As I entered the showroom, I was immediately drawn to all the fun leather jackets in peppy shades, making me wish spring was here. But even though we still have a few months to go before leather jacket weather is back, there’s no reason why we can’t make our Spring/Summer wishlists in November…right?

My must-haves from the preview included the aforementioned leather jackets (my fave is the butter-soft moto jacket in soft yellow leather…drool!), beautifully-cut illusion dresses, adorable shoulder strap purses in red, green, and blue, and the Valentino-esque studded leather totes. A lot of the pieces at the preview incorporated fun elements like printed lining (images of butterflies, trucks, and tie-dye among others), colourblocking,  quilted details (my fave!), and more. And with some items arriving in stores as early as January, I won’t have to wait too long to add some of these pieces to my wardrobe.

Wishlist: Charlotte Olympia Lunatic Clutch

charlotte-olympia-moon-clutch

Remember those Charlotte Olympia Luna shoes I posted about in July? Well, now I also want one of these Lunatic clutches as well! As always, Charlotte is a woman after my own heart, with her whimsical yet functional designs, perfect for those looking to inject some fun into their wardrobes. I, for one, am a total kitsch lover, and therefore cannot resist these lovely clutches. Somebody, please ice my credit card, stat!

What do you think of Charlotte’s Lunatic design? Is it too crazy for you, or just crazy enough? Let me know in the comments.

Style Fille: Jordana Brewster

jordana-brewster-ela-clutch

Though I’m not usually a fan of super girlie dresses myself, I think Jordana Brewster looks stunning in her floral summer frock, accessorized with one of my favorite clutches out there, and a Canadian one at that – M.I.L.C.K. clutch from ela handbags! I’ve been lusting over those pretty bags for a while now, but I can never seem to be able to choose one color! Right now, I am stuck on cobalt blue, yellow, or black…and can’t narrow it down to just one. Sigh.

Wishlist: Coach Legacy Fall 2012 Collection

Coach-Legacy-Fall-2012-Collection

Ever since I saw these pics, I must admit – I’m really into Coach’s Legacy Fall 2012 Collection. It has everything: classic silhouettes, high-quality leather, and gorgeous colors. What more would you want? I think this collection is one of the best Coach has ever produced – classic, simple, and oh-so-covet-worthy.

Wishlist: Charlotte Olympia “Baboushka” Bag

charlotte-olympia-matryoshka-doll-bag

The moment I saw this Charlotte Olympia “Baboushka” bag (GBP 375), I knew I had to have it. It’s like Charlotte continues to design things with me in mind…first the black Kitty Flats that are a carbon copy of my cat Pepper, and now this matryoshka bag! Oh, Charlotte…you know me so well.

Here’s hoping that Nicholas Mellamphy orders a few of these for The Room. Fingers crossed.

Shopping: falconwright

falconwright

Just ordered my very first falconwright piece! If you still haven’t heard about falconwright, you must check out their selection of super adorable screen-printed leather clutches, handmade in Toronto by Sandi Falconer and Danielle Wright. Each time, only a small batch of leather goods is produced, so if you see something that you like, get on it and buy, buy, buy. I made a mistake of being indecisive, and the piece I wanted sold out. Lesson learned. Next time, I won’t hesitate…especially, since prices start at $20!

Pineapple Bags, etc.

Bought this H&M Pineapple Bag the other day, and while carrying it home (sans shopping bag), I caught many a-puzzled looks directed at me, or my bag, or the fact that I was also wearing kitty flats, or all of the above. Moral of the story: buying a pineapple bag is the first step to becoming world-famous. So get to it!

What do you think? Would you ever wear one?
