Best Spring 2009 Accessories from Milan |
As with the roundup for Paris Fashion Week, we give you, today, the roundup for Milan Fashion Week. Indeed, they're the most unbelievable stuff you've ever seen (both in a good and bad way). Tee hee hee. And for the rest of you who missed Fashion Week, well, you'll get to see what caught the eyes of the people right on this post *winks*
The Drum-Shaped WristletBottega Veneta
Flat round metallic leather zip-top bag
First up is the Bottega zip-top bag which is both cute and funny! It's cute because it DOES look like a cute lil drum haha but heck, how do you go around with one of those?
The Jewelry-Like Bag
Coral and sequin-embroidered crocodile bag with necklace shoulder chains
This is so overdone. Not for me, no thank you!
The Canvas Tote
Canvas tote with orange and printed leather trim
Absolutely LOVEEEEEE this one! Love the fact that it's framed, not overdone yet still has a hint of Pucci in it! Three cheers for Emilio Pucci! Hip hip hurray!
The New Exotic
Top-handle python bag
Love this one too. It's one of those that have grown on me over the course of these few weeks. I think it has style and character. Not to mention, very unique too!
The Heritage Bag
The revamped Jackie shoulder bag
Goodness gracious! The title's definitely fit for it. 'The heritage bag' they call it. And under the Gucci brand? So un-Gucci. Being a huge fan of their's, I'd have to say I give them a 1/10 for this one! Boo!
The Waterproof Bag
Neoprene shoulder bag in neon coral
Nice one from Tod's. And in a new color too! How pretty! No reason to not look hip and happening even during the rainy season like we have in the tropical country of Malaysia!
The Metallic Leather Clutch
Rectangular mirrorlike metallic leather clutch
Last but not least, this Valextra metallic leather clutch which we've seen over and over again. It's nothing to shout about really. It's been done again and again and what's there to say except... BORING! I don't mean to be a Meanie but don't you think Valextra's a little behind time in their designs? Hehe

Best Spring 2009 Accessories from Paris |
As always, at the end of every round of Fashion Week, we share with our viewest the best picks for the season. And we're glad to present with you the best selections for Spring 2009 from Paris.
The Space-Age WristletBalenciaga
Metallic crocodile wristlet with chain strap
Looks more suited for the winter season rather than the summer, don't you think? It gives me the icy feeling somehow.
The Logo Bag
Leather tote bag
Nothing I'd wanna own. It's makes me feel as if I'm a free walking advertisement for Chanel rather than being a fashion statement. That's SOOOO totally uncool!
The Western Bag
Suede top-handle tote with fringe detail
Nice. Kinda reminds me of the Babouska Gucci made a while back. Don't think this bag'll work for me though. Top handles on the flap makes stuff hard to reach for (if you know what I mean)
The Slouchy Tribal Bag
Leather monogram bag with cord and bead detail
What can I say about the slouchy tribal bag, you ask? Just THREE words! Yucks, yucks, yucks!
The Price-Conscious Shopper
Nylon tote bag with bead detail
So they've named it the 'Price-Conscious Shopper'. So they're saying it doesn't have a huge price tag to this? Really? Although it's really colorful but somehow it looks kinda dull, don't you think? Colorful yet dull? How odd!
The Patchwork Shoulder Bag
Exotic patchwork shoulder bag with metal hardware
This one's simply fantastic. Love how they've made a patchwork bag out of what looks like python and lizard in few but bright colors! Not to mention, it looks very art deco as well :)
The Chain-Mail Wristlet
Leather wristlet with chain strap
Last but not least, something that looks very cool. So simple yet so fun! Think it'll go with just about anything, don't you agree? :)

3.1 Phillip Lim S/S '09 |
Fashion Week is on again and we're back with more reviews on the latest in the fashion industry.
First up, we've got 3.1 Phillip Lim with polka dots! As always, expect to see lots of earth tones - whether it's on garments, shoes or even bags. With a weather like that, what could you expect but lots of beiges, greys and browns!

Polka dots seem to "the thing" right now with Phillip Lim and they're coming in shoppers, totes and even slings! 

And guess what, they've even got a lil something for the guys!
Looks like they've now blown up the envelope clutch to make it big enough to fit in documents. Thumbs up for the guys!
As for the bags, well, think they aren't anything to shout about. Doesn't have the WOW factor in it but heck, if it's for you, I'd say.. Go for it! But it looks as if you'll have to wait for them to get on the shelf. And while waiting, why not keep an open eye to see what's on tomorrow?
Stay tuned for more updates on Fashion Week!

Love It or Hate It: 3.1Phillip Lim Runway Envelope Clutch |
It's been a while since envelope clutches became popular among the designers and we're out again with one - direct from the runway - by 3.1 Phillip Lim.
3.1 Phillip Lim Runway Envelope Cutch, Taupe
3.1 Phillip Lim Runway Envelope Clutch, Marine
A smooth grained lambskin with siny finish, both clutches come with contrast topstitching, diagonal seam across the corners (back and front) with a black leather patches and leather covered rhinestone embellishments decorated on one side.
Opened at the top with double zippers, the clutch is definitely top notch when it comes to quality (even right down to the fine textile lining) but the colors are dull, the design proved no flair for art/design/experience was needed to create such a.. Anyway, the use of lambskin, embellishments to create an envelope clutch for the runway was great but when put together, it's all wrong! And I'm pretty sure it had to do with taste!
Available via eLuxury, the Runway Envelope Clutch is priced at $275.00
