Jil Sander Madame Frame Top Handle Bag

The 60’s aesthetics is my favorite trend of all time. Not only for the sleek and chic look but because women back then had real bodies, now all I need is a torpedo cone bra and this bag. Every time I say I hate something (conspicuous luggage tags) someone goes and proves me wrong. The … Continue reading “Jil Sander Madame Frame Top Handle Bag”

Prada Lino Twist Frame Shoulder Bag

Prada usually misses with their novelty bags but this is one that I love so much that I might get for Spring.

But oh-so worth it for luscious fabulousness. The pony hair and the leopard on a simple frame is as chic and on-trend as they come.

Miu Miu Leather Framed-Top Tote

I’m interested in the frame on this bag, at first I thought it was Fendi, but not in a bad way. This has the same appeal the peekaboo has but it does not open on 2 sides. I love super sublet details on a minimal bag that adds pow to everything. I am also relieved … Continue reading “Miu Miu Leather Framed-Top Tote”
