oh, handbags...why won't you just leave me alone!

so i was perusing the saks.com shoes & handbags page - a dangerous, dangerous place - before bed (doesn't everyone do that?) and thankfully, no shoes really caught my fancy. however, the handbag selection was, unfortunately, not quite as disappointing. LOVING the handbags below. i think all three together create the perfect fall handbag collection. 


Valentino Rockstud Dome Satchel



i'm really exceptionally drawn to studs lately - i just love the look of studs juxtaposed against a ladylike (think a pretty nudey or pinky lacey dress and the valentino rockstud dome satchel) or preppy outfit (think something as simple as black skinny jeans, tod's mocassins, a white t-shirt, a leather jacket and the valentino rockstud dome satchel). heaven. 



YSL Large East West Bag


i really love the briefcase silhouette of the ysl number above - it is so structured and looks like such a classic bag - one that you could use for YEARS. i love convincing myself that i will use something expensive for YEARS and then amortizing the price over an obscene period like 20 years to make the purchase more justifiable.


Fendi Anna Patchwork Flap Bag


lastly, i can't totally explain why my eye was drawn to the fendi anna bag. it's not really my style, but for some reason, i kinda love it. i guess there is something very unique and different about it - the shape, the texture, the colors. i imagine it complementing many an outfit very perfectly.

  1. the understated ysl is a little obvious (as in, it's so obviously beautiful and so obvious that one would want it). the valentino one is something you'd have to tastefully surround and frame in order to keep it from looking like part of a fashionplus/fashion21 aesthetic. it is lovely nonetheless.
