I like you, Sorrento

My life, especially in this moment, always is on the move from one place to the next one, and, since a lot of you asked me advice about the perfect outfit for traveling here are the photos of my “airport look” worn last Friday, flying to Sorrento for the weekend :)
I always opt for comfortable booties or sneakers, jeans, a tshirt (possibly a fun one like this one by Markus Lupfer found on My-Wardrobe), maxi bag with my world inside and of course a pair of cool headphones.

La mia vita, soprattutto in questo momento, è sempre in movimento da un posto all’altro, e, visto che moltissime di voi mi chiedono consigli sull’outfit perfetto per viaggiare ecco le foto del mio outfit “aeroportuale” indossato lo scorso venerdi per volare a Sorrento il weekend :)
Scelgo sempre stivaletti comodi o sneakers, jeans, una tshirt (possibilmente divertente come questa di Markus Lupfer trovata su My-Wardrobe), maxi borsa contenente tutto il mio mondo e naturalmente cuffie nelle orecchie.

Angela Simmons carries an absolutely gorgeous Hermes Constance Bag

Angela Simmons, daughter of Rev Run from Run DMC, was recently spotted carrying a hot red Hermes Constance Bag on her way in to the nail salon in LA. We saw Angela with this same bag at New York Fashion Week earlier this year – it’s always nice to see celebs getting some mileage out of their most covetable high-end bags. The Constance is, sadly, not available online, but you can shop a sampling of pre-owned and vintage Hermes bags, accessories and other wares at Portero.

Angela turns 26 this year, but she’s already designed a women’s shoe collection called Pastry, and most recently, Angela by Angela Simmons, her signature line of women’s wear, which I would describe as sexy, sporty, and quirky. There are hoodies, there are elbow patches, there are Peter Pan collars, and there are some seriously low-cut dress backs and trouser pants. It’s definitely worth taking a gander at.

Moda Operandi’s punk boutique has a late arrival: this custom-graffiti’d Hermes Birkin

Moda Operandi’s punk boutique has a late arrival: this custom-graffiti’d Hermes Birkin

Just when you thought that the one-of-a-kind, graffiti-clad Hermes Kelly Bag was the pièce de résistance of the Moda Operandi bunk boutique, the retailer has added a late contender to the game: this (also one-of-a-kind, also graffiti-clad) Hermes Birkin Bag, customized just for Moda by artist Travis W. Simon. When you see the finished product (after the jump), you won’t believe that the bag started out as a standard black Birkin from Heritage Auctions.

Moda Operandi Exclusive: Hermes Birkin Bag Graffiti'd by artist Travis W. Simon

We know that many Hermes fans are upset when they see one of the brand’s bags “defaced,” but if there were every a situation in which the modifications were more than for simple shock value, it’s this one. Simon is known primarily for his hand-lettered, hand-painted signs, which often harken back to the days when large-scale printing wasn’t available to small business owners, so they hired painters to get the job done. Simon brought that fine attention to detail (seriously, you have to have a steady hand for lettering) to this Birkin, and if you look closely, you’ll be amazed at how cleanly the design lines up as it transitions from one part of the bag to another. Look closely again, and the swirl pattern forms subtle lettering; from the photos on Simon’s website, I can see “rebel” on the back of the bag and “anarchy” and “revolution” on the front. This bag might be the most beautiful, luxurious word search in history.

Someone already snapped up this unique beauty, but it originally retailed for $29,000 via Moda Operandi.

Pick up a rare Mother’s Day gift at Portero

Mother’s Day can be an extremely tough gift-giving occasion, especially when shopping for your own mother. What do you get for a woman who’s well established in her life, has grown children and who you’ve already given dozens of gifts for Mother’s Days, birthdays and Christmases or Hanukahs in the past? How do you pick something meaningful that’s not basically a repeat of a gift from a couple years ago? If you’re smart, you go with a vintage or pre-owned gift from our friends at Portero.com.

We’ve told you about Portero’s incredible selection of handbags in the past, but the online retailer offers much more than just purses. Portero also jewelry, watches and accessories, both vintage and contemporary pre-owned. Because the pieces aren’t brand new (although some things are still in their packaging!), many of them can be had for less than retail, which gives you a lot of bang for your gift-giving buck. When your mom knows how strategic you were in finding her perfect Mother’s Day gift, she’ll be so proud.

Want to see more of our Mother’s Day picks? Check out the full list at Portero!

Pick up this Judith Leiber Vintage Swarovski Crystal Gold Fan Minaudiere for your mom, and then take her someplace she can carry it – the opera, perhaps? Buy through Portero for $2,400.

Judith Leiber Vintage Swarovski Crystal Gold Fan Minaudiere Evening Bag

Diamonds are a mom’s best friend, and this Tiffany & Co. Platinum and Diamond Estate Petals Key Pendant is a far more unique gift than a regular ol’ pair of studs. Buy through Portero for $4,900.

Tiffany and Co Platinum and 1.18ctw Diamond Estate Petals Key Pendant

I distinctly remember my mom’s olive leather toiletry case from when I was a child, but it was nowhere near as luxurious as this Louis Vuitton Vintage Monogram Canvas Toiletry Trunk Case. Buy through Portero for $2,183.

Louis Vuitton Vintage Monogram Canvas Toiletry Trunk Case

A vintage handbag always feels appropriate for a woman who has lived a long, interesting, full life, and this Hermes Cocaon Niloticus Crocodile Kelly Bag, manufactured in 1983, might be the ultimate vintage coup. Buy through Portero for $23,000.

Hermès 1983 Vintage Cocaon Niloticus Crocodile 35cm Kelly Bag

If mom would prefer some contemporary Hermes, this Hermes Menthe Chevre Trifold Bearn Wallet would brighten up the interior of any bag. Buy through Portero for $3,420.

Hermes Menthe Chèvre Trifold Bearn Wallet

A luxurious watch, like this Hermes Stainless Steel H Hour Ladies Watch, is a must-have for a woman in her prime. Buy for $1,236 via Portero.

Hermes Stainless Steel H Hour Ladies Watch

The Chanel Black Satin Patterned Mini Flap Bag mixes a classic that moms love with a little bit of modern fun. Buy through Portero for $1,099.

Chanel Black Satin Patterned Mini Flap Bag

Lots of moms and grandmas have a thing for costume jewelry, and brooches in particular. This Chanel Gold Tone Lion Motif Black Line Stone Brooch would make a great addition to any collection. Buy through Portero for $900.

Chanel Gold Tone Lion Motif Black Line Stone Brooch

If your mom is thoroughly modern, you may want to look for a men’s watch for her instead of a women’s – the look is bolder and more contemporary, and with a watch like the Cartier Roadster Chronograph 18k Gold Men’s Automatic Watch, it’s no less luxurious. Buy through Portero for $24,690.

Moda Operandi’s punk boutique offers exclusive bags and accessories from Givenchy and more

We mentioned last week that the theme for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 2013 Costume Institute Gala would be Punk: From Chaos to Couture and that we’re pretty excited about it; after all, the leather-clad, hardware-covered look translates particularly well to the bags and accessories that we hold so dear. Much to our delight, gala sponsor Moda Operandi is just as excited as we are, and the site has chosen to express its enthusiasm by putting together an incredible selection of punk-inspired pieces from the world’s best designers, many of which are one-off or limited edition. Naturally, our attentions turned directly to the handbags and accessories, and they’re fantastic.

The selection includes everything from a one-of-a-kind Hermes Kelly Bag covered in graffiti by world-renowned street artist Haculla to a Charlotte Olympia/Tom Binns collaboration that’s yielded one of Olympia’s Pandora box clutches, covered in tiny (and one not-so-tiny) safety pins. There are also exclusive studded bags from Thom Binns and Givenchy, plus all the pretty-tough punk jewelry you could imagine. There are even wearable mohawks for those who would rather not drench their own locks in gelatin. And those are just the accessories – don’t get us started on the clothes. You can shop the full selection via Moda Operandi or peruse our picks below.

If you want to watch tonight’s 2013 Met Ball arrivals as they happen and see punk fashion come to life, visit ModaOperandi.com tonight at 7 p.m. for a livestream of all the festivities!

The Many Bags of Eva Longoria

The Many Bags of Eva Longoria

Eva Longoria isn’t a fashion star in the same way that some of the people we’ve profiled (like Miranda Kerr) are fashion stars, but she’s a celeb who knows exactly what she likes, has a very distinct personal style and rarely deviates from that. In my mind, that’s just as respectable as being in of-the-moment pieces at all times, if not more respectable – it takes backbone and a clear vision of how you want to dress. Naturally, that sense of style extends to her handbag collection as well.

Longoria’s collection contains mostly functional, reasonably neutral bags, but the place where it gets interesting is the brands she chooses – Eva seems to be as big a fan of Coach as she is Hermes, and not a lot of celebs can say that they take such an egalitarian approach to their wardrobes. Both brands (and all the brands in between) look right at home on Longoria’s arm because she obviously knows exactly the look she likes. If you like a celeb who doesn’t bow to trends, you’ll love this collection.

At Portero, you’ve got over 100 Hermes Birkins at your fingertips

When it comes to the finest things in life, access is always an issue. Reservations at the best restaurants fill up weeks in advance, the best real estate flies off the market before a speck of dust can settle and the world’s best handbags are often sold out before they can even hit store shelves to be viewed by the public at large. When it comes to the intensely sought-after Hermes Birkin, which is quite literally the world’s most wanted handbag, that goes doubly. If you have no patience for waiting (or for playing maddening games with power-tripping sales associates), we’d like to offer an alternative: the incredible, triple-digit Birkin options available at Portero at any given moment.

Recently, a number of online retailers and flash sale have tried to pull off what Portero has been doing for the better part of a decade: connect Hermes-hungry online consumers with the collectors and resellers who have the bags that they want. With that time and experience in the marketplace, Portero can guarantee a uniquely vast selection, along with the authenticity of every piece it sells. That’s particularly important when dealing with Birkins, which can reach into the six figures for a piece with diamond-encrusted hardware.

We doubt that any Hermes collector will be able to browse through Portero’s diverse selection without seeing something she likes, but if you’ve got a particular piece in mind that still eludes you, Portero can help out with that too. All you have to do is contact the site and let them know about the object of your affections, and the team will work with their network of sources to track down exactly the piece you’ve been seeking. To get started, check out our favorite pieces from the Portero Birkin selection below, or shop over 100 Birkins via Portero. More of a Kelly or Evelyne girl? Portero has an amazing general Hermes section as well.

PurseForum Roundup – April 26

PurseForum Roundup – April 26

Happy Friday! Welcome to the PurseForum Roundup of the last week in April, wherein we examine all the recent happenings on the PurseForum. This week, we continued to find signs of spring popping up all over the place. We spotted some incredibly beautiful cashmere in Hermes, located some stylish men, peeked into a box of nail polish and so much more!

Hermes Cashmere Scarf

Over in Hermès, the Ode to the Cashmere Shawls thread remains busy throughout the year. Bijouxladyand Israeli_Flava each posted new additions that beautifully illustrate why. This colorful Province shawl has to be the perfect accessory for a crisp spring day. Fans of the 140cm silk shawls share their favorites in this thread. These large silks are a relatively new offering from Hermès and they are stunning. Palmbeachpink shared her summery and shimmery blue Magic Kelly design, whose beautiful colors made us dream of sailing. We are certain you will find more designs and splendid colorways to help you fall in love with this great accessory.

Pink Manicure

You may recall that we paid a visit to the Beauty Box Swap thread in a recent Roundup. This week, we visited the Indie Nail Polish Exchange, to see what members are finding in this traveling treasure trove of very special polishes. CatherineC chose some great polishes in the pink and glitter families and wasted no time trying them out. Cheetah_pita made some great picks, too, nut what they have put in the box remains their secret! You can join in the fun and follow this thread here. Remember, you can always find great nail polish inspiration in the fast-moving Polish of the Day thread. See you there!

Pocket Square

Polish of the Day led us straight to Outfit of the day, where we found a rare gentleman poster, super stylish wj4, looking very dapper in a perfect spring ensemble. We have lots of men’s style threads scattered throughout the PurseForum, including in Hermès, Givenchy, Goyard and, one of our personal new favorites, the Leopard Shoes thread in the Glass Slipper. We are crazy for a sharp dressed man! (Are you humming the song yet?)

Bottega Veneta Elongated Knot Clutch

As Roundup regulars know, we don’t let a week go by without stopping in the Bottega Veneta subforum, even if it is simply to browse the reference threads. In the Action thread this week, we loved this photograph of ivoryngold’s beautiful clutch out for a formal evening, and Sweet Poison’s super casual styling of her colorful new clutch. We also caught a rare reveal, which jelts telegraphed perfectly in the thread title: There Hasn’t Been A Sighting Like This in a While. Jelts is right: This gorgeous Armature Mini Cabat is indeed a rare treasure, so please do visit this thread and enjoy this special bag. And why not take a moment to catch up with the Car Portraits thread while you are there, too.

Panko Fried Chicken Breast

In a never-ending quest for meal inspiration, we headed over to the Kitchen this week, and as always, found plenty to get us motivated. April birthday girls shoega30l and jaijai1012 celebrated in style and shared their luscious birthday deserts. Kitchen wizard needloub had us craving her incredible panko-crusted chicken breasts for days. We also visited the mercifully picture-thin Guilty Pleasure thread, which made us feel a little better about our loaded lunchtime salad choices this week. If you have something guilty to confess, we are here to listen! We love visiting The Kitchen, and hope you do too.

Well, that wraps up another Roundup. Spring has officially sprung for us, and we hope the weather is mild and the week ahead wonderful for all of you. See you next Friday!

Love it or Leave it: the Hermes Kelly Lakis

We know you get a lot of Hermes bags on PurseBlog, but typically we show you the coveted Birkin. Today, I want to show you the just as well-known Hermes Kelly in a version you may have never seen before: with outside zipper pockets. This is the Hermes Kelly Lakis, and it first hit stores in 2006. The Kelly was the ladylike predecessor to the Birkin, with a single top handle that gives this structured purse a very high-end feel. Ladies who lunch love this bag, and the Hermes Kelly also comes in smaller sizes – perfect for a formal occasion where you’d still like to be able to fit things in your bag.

Of course, all Hermes bags come in different sizes and leather options, and if you choose a larger size in a grainy, thick leather (like togo or clemence), the Kelly becomes a little more casual. Adding two zip pockets really transforms the look, and that is precisely what the Kelly Lakis was introduced for. Not everyone who carries the Kelly wants a totally structured, box-shaped bag, and this version provides a sportier feel. It’s hard to track down, but I did see one pop up recently on Rue La La for $13,999.

Check out how much Louis Vuitton luggage Kourtney Kardashian and fam brought to London

Today’s post is a little different from our usual celeb features – the pic you see above is obviously an unnecessarily massive pile of Louis Vuitton luggage belonging to half of the Kardashian clan – Kris, Kourtney, Scott, Mason, baby Penelope, and their assorted handlers. After the jump, you’ll see pics of the whole gang fresh off a plane from NYC to London. Kourtney and Kris are carrying Hermes Birkins (Kourtney’s personal assistant and/or nanny appears to be holding hers while she wheels the stroller). Scott Disick is carrying what looks to be a Louis Vuitton Damiere Ebene Messenger Bag, though we can’t really see it well enough to ID it with the exact design name.

We were just ragging on Sarah Jessica Parker for committing the same offense just a few weeks ago. I mean, I like to have wardrobe options when I travel too, but this is just a ridiculous amount of luggage for what is likely to be just a few days’ jaunt in London, tops. If you’re looking to pick up a reasonable amount of LV for your own collection, you can shop a broad assortment of Louis Vuitton luggage on the company’s website.

It’s time…

As much as we all like to avoid it, it’s getting warmer. And warm = sun = outdoors = water = beach = SWIMSUITS.

There are approximately 2,309 things I would rather do than try on a swimsuit right now.

The light in the fitting rooms alone is enough to make you want to crawl back into a parka. However, this year, I’m going to buy a new swimsuit. Which might not seem like a big deal, but I haven’t purchased a swimsuit since…oh…freshman year of college? THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.

I’m looking to the new swim collection from Hermés for inspiration on my quest. I love the simplicity and clean lines of these suits, not to mention they are super sexy without showing too much skin.

Are you ready for the beach?

The Many Bags of Rachel Zoe

Although Bravo has done its best to put to rest rumors that The Rachel Zoe Project won’t be coming back for another season, we thought that now, the morning after Zoe’s Season Five finale, would be an appropriate time to take a look at The Many Bags of Rachel Zoe. As you all know, Zoe was a stylist long before she was a TV personality or owner of a fashion line, so she’s got one of the most well-stocked closets in the business.

If you’ve watched as much of The Rachel Zoe Project as I have, then you know what to exact going forward: a lot of black, a lot of Chanel and Hermes, and a lot of stuff that’ll make you want to go shopping immediately. Lately Rachel carries some of the handbags from her own line, of course, but she does keep it real with other designers’ bags as well. If there’s one thing I’ve learned for Zoe’s show, it’s that a girl always needs options.

My Hermes Rivale Bracelet revealed on Vine

Last weekend Vlad and I took a little getaway with some friends, and on our way back into the city I saw an Hermes store out of the corner of my eye. I made Vlad whip the car around as soon as I laid eyes on the sign and we were in the parking lot before I knew it, much to Vlad’s dismay. The Hermes Manhasset‎ store was meant for me that day, and I decided I had to leave with a little something.

I ended up picking two bracelets, and I wanted to reveal my first in a different way. If you haven’t heard of Vine, it is a new app that allows you to shoot 6 second clips, and you can put it together in any way you’d like. My Ducky decided to unveil my new treasure, so sit back and enjoy as Ducky unwraps my box to reveal my Hermes Rivale Bracelet.

Also, if you are on Vine be sure to follow us, username: purseblog.

Kim Kardashian will sell two of her Hermes bags via Heritage Auctions

Kim Kardashian will sell two of her Hermes bags via Heritage Auctions

As much as people like to joke about her, Kim Kardashian ain’t no fool when it comes to fashion, and handbags in particular. Before she was famous for being famous, Kim was an LA stylist and boutique owner who frequently sold things from her own closet on eBay. Just because Kimmy’s now an internationally famous megastar who’s about to birth Kanye West’s child doesn’t mean that those wise resale instincts have gone by the wayside; Heritage Luxury Auctions’ upcoming Handbags and Luxury Accessories Signature Auction will include two bags from Kardashian’s ever-growing Hermes collection.

The auction, which we be held in New York on April 28, will include Kim’s Hermes Grizzly Birkin, which is 40 centimeters wide and appears to be the larger version of the Grizzly Birkin we spotted Kim carrying last week. Her Hermes Kelly Relax, which is a slouchy, 50-centimeter shoulder bag version of the traditional Kelly in orange leather, will also be up for sale. Both bags are limited edition; the Birkin will have an opening bid of $10,000, the Kelly, $7,500. Considering how Kim’s wardrobe has gone in a dark, somewhat minimal direction since she hooked up with Kanye, it’s not all that surprising that she’s sending these two particular bags to new owners.

If you’d like to bid on these these bags in person (in addition to the other insanely lust-worthy bags in this auction, which includes a bevy of exotic Birkins, among others), the auction will take place on April 28 at the Fletcher-Sinclair Mansion on New York’s Upper East Side. For those of you interested in bidding in advance online or viewing the rest of the auction’s offerings, visit HA.com.

Moda Operandi has another round of pre-owned Hermes bags for sale

If you know anything about bags (and you probably do, otherwise you’d be looking at cat pictures on BuzzFeed like literally everyone else on the Internet), you know that Hermes is the holy grail. Sure, a woman’s personal grail bag might not be Hermes, but when it comes to the hierarchy of luxury handbags, no one beats Hermes at its own game. That also means that the brand’s bags are notoriously hard to locate, particularly in the most sought-after colors and exotics. Thanks to Moda Operandi and Heritage Luxury Auctions, though, you now have a number of Hermes bags at your fingertips through April 16.

Moda and Heritage run these sales every now and then, and they never fail to get me excited. This particular sale contains everything from rare Club Birkins and exotic options to a very special limited-edition sterling silver Mini Kelly. Some bags have already sold, but there are plenty of beautiful pieces left, particularly if you’ve got money to spend in the high five figures. Shop the full sale via Moda Operandi or admire our favorites below.

Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner double up with rare Hermes Birkins

It’s springtime in LA (when is it not, exactly?), and the Kardashians are busting out their bright spring hues and their most exotic Birkins! It’s been months since we featured a Birkin-wielding celeb on the blog, but we couldn’t resist this flagrant showcase of ridiculously rare and exclusive Hermes Birkins. Kim Kardashian is carrying an Hermes Grizzly Birkin, which has a suede body trimmed in leather, and is so rarely seen, I wasn’t even aware it existed before today. Momma Kris Jenner is carrying the black Hermes Crocodile Birkin. While Kris’ croc is the pricier of the two Birkins, the Grizzly is more eye-catching, if only because you see them a lot less often in the wild.

Can I tell you how relieved I am to see Kimmie K. wearing something light, blousy, and non-black? I’ve been kvetching about her all black, faux-maternity wardrobe for several weeks now. I mean, this is essentially a harem pant jumpsuit, but when better to wear such things than when you’re dressing for two?

I’ve always been a skinny jeans lover: a year ago I used to hate any other kind of trousers. Then, all of a sudden, my wish to try new combinations brought me to try on a pair of harem pants, and something changed. I started to enjoy and then to feel in love with patterned trousers, always wanting to fit new ones in my wardrobe and in my everyday outfits.
One of those rare days of sun in Milan had to be celebrated: that’s why I decided It was time to wear the new Ki6 who are you? trousers you all asked me about after the Instagram photo and my favourite pair of wedges.

Da sempre sono amante dei jeans skinny: fino a un anno fa storcevo il naso quando pensavo ad un altro tipo di pantalone, che nel mio armadio non era proprio contemplato. Poi, all’improvviso, la voglia di sperimentare nuove combinazioni mi ha portata al primo paio di harem pants, e qualcosa in quel momento è cambiato. Ho cominciato ad apprezzare, fino ad arrivare addirittura ad amare i pantaloni a fantasia, cercandone di tutti i tipi e provando ad indossarli in mix sempre diversi.
Uno dei rari giorni di sole a Milano andava festeggiato a dovere: eccomi quindi indossare i nuovi pantaloni a fantasia di Ki6 who are you? di cui tutti voi mi avete chiesto info dopo la foto su Instagram e le mie zeppe preferite.

The Most Expensive Handbags on The Internet

The Most Expensive Handbags on The Internet

By now, some of you have likely read Friday Night Lights author Buzz Bissinger’s instantly infamous GQ piece on his Gucci leather shopping addiction. (If you haven’t and you’re interested, you should read it, but be warned, the whole thing takes a bit of a strange turn circa page four.) I’ve known a few people with compulsive shopping issues in my time in fashion, but Bissinger’s story caught my attention because, for him, it all started online and eventually mushroomed into a half-million dollar habit. But how much damage can you really do with online shopping? As it turns out, quite a bit – we searched out the Internet’s most expensive handbags, and with these kinds of pieces, it wouldn’t be hard to blow through a couple hundred grand in an afternoon, let alone in a year or two.

The luxury assortment available online at any given time is inherently different from that which is available in stores. Chanel, for instance, would surely be on this list if the brand sold its wares online, but it doesn’t. Hermes and Louis Vuitton sell much of their respective assortments online, but the most exquisite pieces are reserved for in-store clientele only. Other ultra-premium leather brands, like The Row and Bissinger-favorite Gucci, put it all on the table for Internet customers the world over (and we love them for it). Below, you’ll find a set of bags not intended for mere mortals, but sometimes purchased by them while in search of a particular adrenaline rush that’s always just a few clicks away. If you know of a bag that’s sold online and beats out any of these, share with us in the comments.

The Many Bags of Victoria Beckham

Now that we have our fancy-schmancy new gallery system up and running, which provides the biggest, clearest images we’ve ever been able to give you on PurseBlog, it seemed only right that we exploit it with a truly fantastic celebrity bag wardrobe. Naturally, our minds turned to Victoria Beckham. Like the Olsens before her, she’s one of the only celebs to ever show enough knowledge about what makes a good bag to translate into an incredible accessories collection of her own.

That knowledge comes from years spent carrying some of the most incredible handbags on the face of the planet, it seems, including an Hermes repertoire spanning multiple exotics, including the incredibly rare Hermes Himalayan Crocodile Birkin. Victoria’s come a long way from her Posh Spice days, but it looks like her handbag-buying days might be behind her. Instead, Vicky B. now carries almost exclusively pieces from her own line. In my mind, that makes sense – if you’re a celebrity, and you’re going to design your own collection, why not make sure it’s full of all the stuff you want to wear and carry? Check out Victoria’s handbag closet, from Hermes and beyond, below.

I heard about Marfa some years ago and, when I was asked to spend there two days for a project with Bar III I didn’t hesitate leaving for this roadtrip in the texan desert.
Marfa is 3 hours drive away from El Paso, has around 1500 habitants and almost all the population is composed by all kind of artists: an oasi of creativity that makes you want to isolate yourself from the rest of the world.

Avevo sentito parlare della cittadina di Marfa alcuni anni fa e, quando mi è stato proposto di passare li due giorni per un progetto di Bar III non ho esitato a partire per questo roadtrip nel deserto texano.

The Many Bags of Celebrity Basketball Fans

For some reason, celebrities seem to love basketball above and beyond other sports. I have a theory on why that might be: Not only is the sport quite popular in both New York and Los Angeles, but the indoor, controlled environment in which the game is played allows celebs to dress up and look good because they know they’ll be photographed. That seems to be especially true of female basketball fans; we’ve noticed that everyone from Cameron Diaz to Kim Kardashian shows up at basketball games dressed to the nines, and more importantly, carrying great bags.

We’ve looked through the courtside seats of some of the country’s biggest NBA teams to find all the amazing handbags that celebs have toted to basketball games, and today, with the start of college basketball’s March Madness and the NBA playoffs on the horizon, seemed like an appropriate time to share our findings. Even if you don’t like the game, it might be worth it to get some Knicks or Lakers tickets just to bag-watch.

Sunday, our second day in Sao Paulo, totally dedicated to relax before fashionweek madness which started yesterday between fashionshows and photoshoots (but how fun It was!).
Of course the weather was not on our side: It rained cats and dogs all day long, so I had to forget about my bikini and pool plans!
I took advantage of the entrance of the wonderful hotel which is hosting us, Tivoli Hotel, and of the presidential suite to stay away from the rain and shoot some quick outfit photos :)

Domenica, nostro secondo giorno a San Paolo, interamente dedicato al relax prima della “fashionweek madness” cominciata ieri tra sfilate e servizi fotografici (che divertimento però).
Naturalmente il tempo non è stato dalla nostra parte: ha diluviato tutto il giorno, altro che bikini e piscina!
Ho approfittato dell’ingresso del magnifico hotel che ci sta ospitando, il Tivoli Hotel, e della suite presidenziale per ripararmi dalla pioggia e scattare qualche veloce foto di outfit :)

What did I do last Saturday, first day in Sao Paulo?
First of all I took advantage of the hot weather to wear one of my favourite Zoe Karssen tshirts, matching it to leather shorts, a vest and Luiza Barcelos shoes, as a tradition everytime I come to Brazil :)
I then went to have lunch at Brasserie Des Arts, met a lot of brazilian followers (you guys are adorable), enjoyed some relax at Marcos Proença and then took part in art project in which I was covered by paint (preview photo on Instagram).. But I’ll talk you about this in the next posts :D

Sono stata poi a pranzo alla Brasserie Des Arts, incontrato tantissimi follower brasiliani, mi sono goduta un po’ di relax da Marcos Proença e ho preso parte ad un progetto d’arte in cui sono stata ricoperta di pittura (foto d’anticipazione su Instagram)..

PurseForum Roundup – March 15

Well, PurseForum Roundup fans, we are halfway into March! Welcome to the March 15th edition of our whirlwind weekly tour of the PurseForum. Whether you are gearing up for Saint Patrick’s Day or laying low on the Ides of March, we hope you will find some interesting reads here. This week’s colorful Roundup includes a luscious purple Philip Lim Pashli, some vintage Mulberry bags, wildly inviting bedding and lots more!

3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli Plum Bag

PurseForum members who love fashion and Instagram gather in this thread to share artful shots of their bags using this fun photo uploader. This week, we couldn’t take our eyes off alicanna’s delicious plum Philip Lim Pashli satchel and scauri’s classic black Givenchy Antigona. If you cant get enough of the the Pashli, be sure to visit this thread in Handbags and Purses, dedicated to this fun and versatile handbag.

Green Glitter Manicure

Over in Nail Care, it doesn’t take much to inspire a polish change, and we were sure we would find some of our members wearing the green this week. Knasarae had some wonderful colors on her nails and shared some of her favorite greens. Longtime member frick&frack joins the green celebration with several fun pedicures, too. If you haven’t chosen a color for your next manicure, there are dozens of swatch threads to help you — perhaps ferretkingdom can help in the fabulous soak-off-gel color comparison thread? See you there!

Diane von Furstenberg Animal Garden Bedding

In The Wardrobe, myriad threads across the fashion spectrum contain styling and shopping tips to suit any budget. Member Outtacontrol picked up some fantastic Diane von Furstenberg bedding, and other members have selected some super stylish dresses this week.

Also, please don’t miss weibabbao’s great new leather-studded jacket. Elsewhere in the Wardrobe, Nanaz posted some new pictures in the Zara thread, CDC.LV4eva shared her new Mouret Dress, and new member jdg017 stopped traffic in the Rick Owens thread with an amazing jacket collection! There is never a dull moment in The Wardrobe!

Mulberry Hanover Bag

Have you visited the Mulberry forum lately? We peeked in this week to see what’s new and found members hard at work identifying bags in this helpful thread, where we spotted Mulberry Ellie’s beautiful Hanover, pictured above. This thread always has some interesting vintage finds, too, like this bag from member jj0. How are your Mulberry identification skills? If you need a primer, the Reference Library is a great place to start. We hope to see you there soon.

Hermes Birkin with charms and silk carf

Hermès infuses color into its bags and textiles like no other brand. Whether it is super-saturated jewel toned exotic leathers, or silk scarves in bold designs and palettes, we are always enchanted by the colorful offerings from this design house. In this thread, members artfully coordinate their bags and scarves, resulting in over three hundred pages of sheer delight. We love sissy milano’s pairing of her croc Lindy with the beautiful Lilanga design silk carré. Be sure and take in the sights of the “Equateur” as pepsimax pairs her black Birkin with this exotic motif on silk. (How many animals can you identify?)

We hope you enjoyed this week’s Roundup. Have a wonderful weekend!

The 15 Best Bags of Paris Fashion Week Fall 2013

Leave it to the French to cap off the Fall 2013 show season with a fashion week full of subtle, elegant, incredibly luxurious bags. Along with the clothes that graced the majority of the runways at Paris Fashion Week, the bags were largely casual and wearable; where a thousand rhinestone-encrusted clutches once stood, we instead found functional everyday bags in shades of ivory, burgundy and black. Lest we forget about the luxury of it all, many of those bags were rendered in lush exotics.

This is what our continental friends do best, of course; these bags all look easy, and they will be easy to carry, but they’re all designed just so. Luxury doesn’t have to be inconvenient or trend-based, it can be just that: luxury. For the best bags that embody that ideal from Paris Fashion Week, check out our roundup below.

The Many Bags of Nicky Hilton

Brace yourself, kids: Nicky Hilton’s bag collection is about to make your head explode. You should probably ask friends and loved ones to move out of your immediate vicinity, lest they get any on them. If you don’t heed that warning, well, it’s not my fault. None of this is my fault. It’s all Ms. Hilton’s. I’m just a middle man. And I know what you’re thinking: Nicky Hilton? YES, THAT WAS MY REACTION TOO. I share in your incredulity.

Now that you’re all properly prepared like front-row attendees at a Gallagher show in the 70s, we can begin. Nicky Hilton has (and has been photographed with) basically every bag that’s been popular since I first became aware of designer handbags circa 2002. Every It Bag from the Chloe Paddington to the Celine Luggage Tote is represented here, plus a lot of other beautiful bags along the way. If you don’t believe me, I’ve got all the evidence you could ever need below.

In fashion, Hermes is still your safest investment

In fashion, Hermes is still your safest investment

A long time ago, I ranted a bit about why terming the purchase of a bag as an “investment” was probably a bit silly, not to mention inaccurate, and the kind of marketing terminology that encourages consumers to overspend on goods that depreciate even more rapidly than cars. It still is – at best, buying fashion is an investment in your own enjoyment, and the dividends it pays won’t be of the monetary variety. Hermes, it turns out, bucks that trend on two levels.

Last week, Hermes released its 2012 profit information and informed us all that it had been another banner year for the French powerhouse. Revenues were up 18.5%, making it Hermes’ most lucrative year ever, with jewelry the most quickly expanding sector, up 45%, according to Vogue UK. Bags, though, enjoyed an impressive 22% jump in growth, on top of a year of business that was already sprinting to keep up with seemingly endless demand for everything from canvas Garden Party totes to alligator Birkins. When compared to relatively flat leather goods growth across competitors like Louis Vuitton, the number is even more remarkable.

That means two things. First, if you can get your money around some Hermes stock, you probably won’t be sorry you did. (It might be a little more difficult than merely placing a call to your broker, though – Louis Vuitton has its guy on speed dial when it comes to Hermes.) Second, it means that the actual bags are more valuable than ever because demand still outpaces supply, despite some modest supply-side expansion from Hermes; if you have a specific bag in mind and aren’t an established VIP, you’ll likely have to wait. When you combine that with annual price increases that continue to raise the value of existing Hermes bags, you end up with a situation where well-kept used bags, especially Birkins, regularly sell for more from a third party than they do from an Hermes boutique. If you’re the kind of person who has $10,000 to spend on a brand new bag but are told you’ll need to wait, perhaps months, then maybe you’re also the kind of person who has an extra couple thousand dollars to skip the line and buy a new-looking bag from a third party.

The online sale marketplace seems to bear out that theory. Luxury sites like Moda Operandi and Rue La La routinely host sales where auction houses offer an assortment of pre-owned Hermes bags, the most desirable of which are marked above retail. Invariably, the bags fly off the virtual shelf, most within hours of launch. If you have the money and have been considering the purchase of a Birkin, it boils down to there being almost literally no risk involved – if you later decide it doesn’t suit you and you have the savvy to resell, you’ll likely recoup your costs. My advice, though, would be to buy some stock instead. You can flip it to Louis Vuitton later when they invariably call you.

New York fashionweek: day 8

Posted on by
Reply

_MG_5796-copia

For my 8th day of New York fashionweek I decided to wear my favourite metallic skirt from Storets, matching it to a “caloric” sweater. To honour this sweater I decided It was the perfect time to enjoy an ice-cream (or two) in the middle of February in New York streets: I had never had it in winter before and I felt “braver” than usual.
No fever or cold for now, and winter ice-cream is not bad at all :)

Per l’ottavo giorno di sfilate Newyorkesi ho deciso di indossare la mia gonna metallica preferita di Storets, abbinandola ad un maglione “calorico”. Proprio per “onorare” questo maglione ho deciso che fosse il momento perfetto per gustarmi un gelato (o due) nel bel mezzo di Febbraio per le strade di New York: non l’avevo mai provato in inverno e mi sentivo più “coraggiosa” del solito.

From New York to London

Thursday night: took the plane from New York to London.
Friday morning: landed in London, checked-in at Sanderson hotel and here I am ready for my new adventure with Topshop and its fashionshow next Sunday.
Google and Topshop partnered together for the fashionshow, that will be livestreamed (also here on The Blonde Salad) and during which there will also be a hangout on Google+. What does this mean? That you’ll have the chance to follow some of the models backstage and while they walk on the catwalk, enjoying the show from your computer.
I had the chance to visit Google offices in London: turned out I could definitely live there :)
Ready for an incredible Topshop fashionshow?

Giovedi sera: preso l’aereo da New York a Londra.
Venerdi mattina: arrivata a Londra, fatto il check-in all’hotel Sanderson ed eccomi pronta per la mia nuova avventura all’insegna di Topshop e della sua sfilata di domenica.
Google e Topshop hanno unito le forze per la sfilata, che sarà naturalmente trasmessa in streaming (anche qui su The Blonde Salad) e durante la quale verrà fatto anche un hangout su Google+. Cosa significa? Che avrete la possibilità di seguire alcune modelle backstage e mentre sfilano direttamente in passerella, godendovi tutto lo spettacolo dal vostro pc.
Tra le altre cose ieri ho avuto la possibilità di visitare gli uffici londinesi di Google: penso proprio potrei vivere direttamente li da quanto sono belli e completi.
Pronti per una sfilata imperdibile di Topshop?

The Many Bags of Beyonce

With her documentary Beyonce: Life is But a Dream debuting on HBO this Saturday and her barnstorming Super Bowl halftime performance still fresh in the minds of almost everyone, today seemed like a fitting occasion to pay bag tribute to the one and only Beyonce. With the entourage that rolls with her and Jay-Z, though, I’m surprised that Queen Bey still deigns to carry her own bag from time to time. Surprised, but glad.

I’m also surprised by the sheer diversity of the bags that Beyonce carries. She doesn’t repeat designers nearly as often as almost everyone else we’ve profiled in one of these features, and her choices vary by price point as much as they tend to vary by brand. In Beyonce’s bag closet, there’s probably a little something to make everyone happy. I’d expect nothing less.

New York: just keeping it casual

In a break between one show and the other one I like keeping it casual: skinny jeans, my dream bag and my favourite faux fur coat, from Storets.

In pausa tra uno show e l’altro mi piace vestirmi casual: jeans skinny, la borsa dei miei sogni ed il mio pellicciotto finto preferito, proveniente da Storets.

First outfit from last Monday in New York (you’ve already seen the second one here): the main character is of course the new Birkin bag received thanks to LXR&CO. The store/ecommerce organized the same day an event/pop up store at Empire Hotel: thanks to all the people who came, it was a huge success! You can find my personal selecion of bags and accessories here.

All of this Hermes eye candy could be yours if you’re feeling spendy

It was a bit of a rough weekend for all of us in New York, but we’ve dug ourselves out and life is more or less back to normal now. Personally, I used my days inside to cook a pot roast, re-watch lots of episodes of The West Wing on Netflix and wander around the Internet in search of things to impulse-order. Thankfully, my wallet was clear across the apartment when I laid eyes on the pre-owned and vintage bags that Heritage Auctions has up for sale via Moda Operandi. Now that would have been a concerned phone call from American Express if there ever were one.

If you’ve worked up an appetite for shopping or browsing over the past few days, you’re in luck. The Vintage Hermes from Heritage Auctions sale runs through February 17, and we’ve gathered our favorite bags from the selection below for our viewing pleasure. If you decide to splurge, do it quickly – there’s only one of each of these covetable pieces to go around. Shop the sale via Moda Operandi.

Miss perfect

_MG_3022-copia

A lot of you already guessed what was inside the orange box that I received from LXR&CO some days ago in my room in New York.
It’s her: miss perfect bag, Hermes Birkin black bag, my dream which looks so good to be true.
The bag comes from LXR&CO, a Los Angeles store which is already famous for their vintage designer bag selection and which has just launched its ecommerce, now reachable from Europe as well.
My curated sale for LXR&CO is going to start today at noon (NYC time) and you guys will also have the chance to win a Chanel bag if you register here (earning more points if you like them on Facebook and Twitter).
But that’s not all: If you’re in New York tomorrow visit LXR&CO pop up store from 2 to 6 pm (NYC time) at The Empire Hotel Mezzanine to find similar vintage beauties. Have a great shopping!

Molti di voi avevano già indovinato il contenuto del pacco arancione che mi è stato recapitato da LXR&CO un paio di giorni fa nella mia camera d’hotel a New York..
E’ proprio lei: miss perfect bag, la Birkin nera di Hermes, il mio sogno proibito a cui ancora stento a credere.
La borsa proviene da LXR&CO, uno store di Los Angeles famoso per la sua selezione di borse ed accessori firmati vintage che, da pochi mesi, ha aperto anche il suo sito ecommerce, da cui si può ordinare ora anche dall’Europa.
Proprio su LXR&CO oggi alle 6 del pomeriggio (ora italiana) verrà lanciata una “curated sale” con la mia selezione di borse preferite e, anche solo registrandovi qui, avrete la possibilità di vincere una borsa di Chanel (ricevendo più punti se deciderete di seguire anche i canali Facebook e Twitter).
E non è tutto: se siete a New York domani andate a dare un’occhiata al pop up store di LXR&CO che sarà allestito dalle 2 alle 6 del pomeriggio per la fashionweek all’hotel Empire al piano mezzanino per trovare meraviglie vintage del genere. Buono shopping!

Fast recap of my second day spent in New York for fashionweek: the day started early at 6.30 am with Redken team and we spent all the morning filming for the project and choosing my outfit for today’s Rag&Bone show.
The first show of the day and of the season was BCBGMAXAZRIA, that I always love as you can probably understand from the look I chose to wear. I then went to say hello to Kira Plastinina at Plaza Hotel, where the young russian designer showed her new Lublu fall/winter collection. The afternoon was about meeting and the night about Rewardstyle and Moda Operandi, who joined forces to create a beautiful dinner.

Veloce recap del secondo giorno passato a New York per la fashionweek: la giornata è iniziata alle 6.30 del mattino insieme al team di Redken con il quale abbiamo fatto riprese tutta la mattina per il nuovo progetto insieme e scelto il mio look per la sfilata di oggi di Rag&Bone.
La prima sfilata della giornata e della stagione è stata invece quella di BCBGMAXAZRIA, di cui ogni volta mi innamoro, come si può notare anche dal look che ho scelto di indossare per l’occasione. Sono poi stata a trovare Kira Plastinina al Plaza Hotel, dove la giovane stilista russa ha presentato la nuova collezione della sua linea Lublu, per poi proseguire con un pomeriggio di appuntamenti e con una serata all’insegna di Rewardstyle e Moda Operandi, che hanno unito le forze per creare una bellissima cena.

The Many Bags of Kate Moss

Today’s the first official day of New York Fashion Week, and while Megs and I are out and about doing the whole NYFW thing, we though it only appropriate that we give you an opportunity to spend some time looking through the considerable handbag hoard of a real, capital-F fashion icon, not just some celeb. The only choice, of course, was Kate Moss. Before the “model off duty” look was a thing, Kate was dressing in skinny pants, animal prints and lots of great handbags.

As you might expect, Kate’s collection skews largely neutral, and within that, largely black. In that way, she’s a girl after my own heart, and likely after many of yours. She’s designed several lines of bags for Longchamp, of course, but her whole personal collection was a joy to sift through, all the way from one of the first Balenciaga Motorcycle Bags ever made to the latest from Saint Laurent. Check out the full show below and wish us luck at Fashion Week!

Jenny McCarthy carries the totally underrated Hermes Jypsiere

Jenny McCarthy carries the totally underrated Hermes Jypsiere

Here’s Jenny McCarthy in NYC carrying an eye-popping bright blue Hermes Jypsiere Bag. The Jypsiere is a comparatively new Hermes design, introduced only a couple of years ago. It sports Birkin-esque closures and flourishes, but has a more unisex, messenger bag structure. It’s worlds less traditional than other Hermes bag designs – and also, it’s one of Amanda’s personal faves. I can’t decide between the Jypsiere and the Kelly, myself. But wait…this might tip the odds in the Jypsiere’s favor – Hermes has deemed, in their infinite wisdom, that this $7300 Hermes bag should be made available to the common masses via the Internet! Plebeians, rejoice! It’s available for $7,300 at Hermes.com.

Why is Jenny McCarthy all up in your face on a random Wednesday in 2013, you ask? Well, her brand new talk show, The Jenny McCarthy Show, is scheduled to debut on VH1 at 10:30 PM EST on February 8th. 1990s deja vu all over again? I kind of feel like you’ve already tried this, VH1, but I’ll bite!

The Orange Box

You know what I love about the Hermès gifts? It’s that even if I was gifted just the empty boxes, I’d be happy.
Maybe I’m exaggerating a little, because what’s inside is always so special and precious, but with these orange boxes, it’s like you’re getting two gifts.

I use them on my dresser to organize my accessories. It makes them look so chic!

The Many Bags of Bethenny Frankel

I’ve always been a big fan of Bethenny Frankel, the sometimes-controversial former star of Real Housewives of New York who parlayed her reality TV fame into a booze-for-girls brand that she sold for a reported $120 million last year. She’s funny, direct and willing to cop to most of her flaws – that’s about all I ask from someone on a reality show, personally. When I got a look at her insane bag collection, it only made me like her more.

If you’ve ever asked yourself how you’d splurge if you suddenly became rich and wildly successful, you’re going to want to take a look at Bethenny’s bags, because she got to answer that question in real life. In early paparazzi photos of her, she’s carrying average stuff, most of which I didn’t recognize. Once her brand started to take off, though, Bethenny bought an Hermes or Chanel classic in seemingly every color, for every occasion. If you’re a traditionalist, you’ll probably faint over Frankel’s bag collection.
