Valentino Floral-Appliqué Zip-Pocket Bag: Lily-White and Ladylike
This prim and lovely look has the signature Valentino petal motif – Roccoco and highly elaborate – but it’s usable and not over-run like a fairy tale. I’m all for fairy tales, but I’m not sure how they can be worked into everyday life. Even though aspects are evocative of a pristine petticoat, I’d be … Continue reading “Valentino Floral-Appliqué Zip-Pocket Bag: Lily-White and Ladylike”
Valentino Pre-Fall 2011

It’s like when your mother gets on a trend you know it is way past it’s prime. It’s … Continue reading “Valentino Rockstud Leather Shoulder Bag”
Valentino Landscape Print Nylon Tote
I want this as a travel tote, it’s lightweight and has the bright pep-me-up I need when spending time in a dreary airport. Even when stuck indoors, I will have a beautiful landscape printed right on my bag! The bright green handles are super cute but that bow closure is even cuter!! This isn’t something … Continue reading “Valentino Landscape Print Nylon Tote”
