Marilyn Minter's Green Pink Caviar Tote Bag: Love It or Hate It?
If Marilyn Minter's sticky and sweet Green Pink Caviar video for Madonna left you wanting more, check out this Marilyn Minter Tote Bag ($48). The still image of the tongue in full thrust — complete with gold goo — isn't as crazy as the video scene, but it's still racy. In fact, if you buy the tote this month, proceeds will go to Bright Pink, a nonprofit breast and ovarian cancer organization.
Tom Binns's Arm Candy
There's more reason to love jewelry extraordinaire Tom Binns now that he has branched into the world of leather goods — yay! Details are still under wraps, but we do know his luxe leather line will debut in the Spring and will include a white leather bag adorned with metal studs. It will come in three different sizes and be priced between $650 to $1,850.
Trend Alert: Bag It Bohemian Style
Another wild trend for Spring in the realm of Luxotica is bohemian bags. These embellished handbags will instantly perk up any ensemble with their hippie-meets-tribal aesthetic. I like how they give off an ethnic vibe without going over the top, especially when paired with a neutral palette.
Trend Alert: Perforation
The act of perforation consists of "a hole or series of holes punched or bored through something, especially a hole in a series, separating sections in a sheet or roll." The look of perforation is dope. Something so complicated produces an uncomplicated look, a look of sportif.
Awesome Spring Extras
I'm about to whisk away to New York for the Fall collections. I hope I leave you feeling prepared for Spring. Spring shopping is right around the corner — have you started your wish list?
Guess the Sassy Handbag Shape!
Last week, I asked you to guess the hot heel shape, so it's only fitting that I test your handbag knowledge. This one is a bit trickier since handbag shapes can get confusing. My advice?
I Wanna Be Adorned: Fab Party Clutches
Now that you've got yourself a temperature-rising dress, let's proceed to the adornments. First up: Fab party clutches. Despite Carine Roitfeld's mentality — she prefers to keep her hands in her pockets — no party outfit is complete without a snazzy bag.
Fab Ad: Prada Resort '09
Miuccia went all-out glamorous in her '09 Resort campaign and I like it. The ad, shot by Steven Meisel, features dutch model Ymre Stiekema holding on to Prada's embellished bags. I like how her full frontal face shot demands attention.
The Look For Less: Yves Saint Laurent Downtown Tote
In another lifetime, I would hop in the town car and tell my driver to take me shopping on 5th Avenue. I would grab my fabulous Yves Saint Laurent Downtown Tote ($1,495) and set out to buy the latest and greatest fashions. Wouldn't that be nice?
The Bag To Have: Marc Jacobs Cecilia Satchel
I usually don't wear pink but I'm making an exception with this Marc Jacobs Cecilia Satchel ($1,250). The juxtaposition between the romantic dusty hue and twisted gold links is genius. This bag is not only beautiful, but functional.
