CHANEL Boy Bag

tumblr_mojbwu4McY1su7xieo1_500

Watching the street fashion from the latest FW shows, this bag kept my attention, especially the velvet collection which i think is more delicate and feminine and if i will ever get a Chanel Boy bag i will reconsider my option…instead of having a black bag that can work in every combination…i would certainly have a velvet one in a strong or pastel color.

Boy bag first introduced in the Chanel Fall/Winter 2011 ready-to-wear collection.

Creative director Karl Lagerfeld explains: “Chanel used men’s underwear to make dresses; she had this boyish attitude, in fact, it is the very spirit of Chanel. She got it from Boy Capel, the great love of her life, which, incidentally, explains why the new bag is called the Boy Chanel.”

Inspired by a cartridge bag that was originally made for hunters and was carried by Madame Chanel herself, the Boy comes in three varying sizes and in practical, no-nonsense shades of red, black, grey, green and ivory.

Hello girls, I am sure you know this bag and for sure, just like me you will looove to add it to your Iconic bags collection.

The Celine luggage tote

20250

The bag was launched din 2010 and since then it became the IT bag of the following years together with the other iconic bag of the house, the Paddington bag.

The designer, Phoebe Philo, has the knack of reviving dying labels and making it cool and hip and for sure she did a great job with Celine bags.

The Luggage Totes come in an ever-expanding variety of color and finish combinations, but the default Luggage Tote for most celebs seems to be a solid black bag, or a solid navy blue or beige bag.

Featuring one zipper closure as a decoration in the front, this quintessential and classic bag was shaped as a shopping tote for day to night use, large bag capacity and sturdy leather further increases its versatility.

This stylish Luggage Tote comes in five sizes and a range of combinations and colors: suede and calf, crocodile and calf, or just good old calf skin.

Blue loves green

Yesterday my style teacher talked about colors and colors combinations.

I instantly had in mind a Picasso paint that I recently view at the Museum of Modern Art in Vienna- Seated woman with green scarf-

It was by far the only work of art that took all my attention, because of the color combination that I loved at first sight and, of course, because Picasso is one of my favorite painters in the whole world.

Girls, I truly believe that there is no better combination of colors like green and blue, there are so many shades that can be suitable for all of us, we can always add a different color as a highlight like fuchsia, orange, aubergine, yellow or red, great massive accessories, colored shoes or bags…everything is possible of course if you can create a good balance between colors.

3.1 Philip Lim Pashli bag

Continuing with my search for great bags, I remembered one of my last years wishes- Philip Lim  Pashli Satchel- this bag was launched in 2011 f/w collection and is still under the fashion radars.

125524-scale-409

It is a gorgeous all leather bag that comes with short handles, expandable sides,
a front flap that ends in a gold-tone clasp and a perfect palette of leathers.

The Pashli was initially inspired by the pragmatic design of motorcycle bags, where every detail served a function.

“She is a working girl, she is real she wears
things from day to night from day to day. For me it is really important for the
bag to work for the wearer and not the other way round.” Philip Lim

Price: $895 for the medium (original size) satchel in leather, $950-750 when color-blocked; $695 for the mini satchel in leather, $625 in canvas; $750 for messenger style

Sweatshirts and sweatpants, long, short, cropped, cotton or technical materials, neon sneakers, caps, sporty jackets and t-shirts combined with our everyday outfits, even pointy shoes, elegant dresses and bags can create a head turn look.

It all depends of your ability to combine them, be crazy and try unusual combinations, be creative and put together elements that you never thought to combine before.
