A Big Family Joined In Louis Vuitton

The Big Family-Rivington Has Joined In Louis Vuitton.

I think it’s time to update the Rivington collection because I believe some of LV lovers are longing for seeing them on the sites. Let’s take a look at this big family.

DamierRivington

Rivington is the latest addition to the growing Damier city bags collection. This feminine and versatile bowling bag is elegant and understated,watches store, a perfect touch to any everyday wardrobe. It’s available in PM and GM at the measurement 12.6" x 8.6" x 5.9" and 15.3" x 9.4" x 7.1" for your choice. You can pick the size you like most.

Sumptuous leather trimmings and handles enhance its versatile bowling shape. This bag is looking awesome specially the colour and the simple look of this bag, and easy to handle as it is quite light weighted. The shiny gold hardware with Louis Vuitton engraved logo, to some extend,replica rolex submariner, adds another kind of elegance and sophistication to it. A large capacity is also a center of this collection,watches you, which allows you to carry your daily stuff.

DamierCabasRivington

If bowling-shaped bags are not your cup of tea, here’s another choice: the Cabas Rivington which is a bit similar to the Neverfull when it’s fully opened. Its a generously sized tote with adjustable capacity thanks to the vertical zips on both sides. Very practical.

The good news is this collection is now available on HandbagsModa with desirable prices.

Versace Block Color Python Bag

Let’s be honest, there has not been much praise from the PurseBlog team given to Versace. And it is kind of sad, because Versace is one of the most well-known design Houses alive. Today I have found a Versace bag that still will not appeal to many, but has some aspects that are totally quirky but alluring for me. I’m ready for the comments saying otherwise (and hopefully some that agree with me).

The bag I will be reviewing today is the Versace Block Color Python. We first see bold eye-catching colors that stand out, including turquoise, yellow, and white python offset by tan leather panels. And then there are studs. And a chain strap. And everything seems to get a little overwhelming. That is what Versace does though, create bags that are entirely packed with color and design elements that can be seen as over-done. Yet somehow this bag works for me.

I don’t doubt that even looking at this bag, the elements may appear to be overdone. But they are over-done just right,cheap designer wholesale handbags, not overly-done. And I can handle it. And I even want to wear it with a pair of jeans and button up blouse. I always talk about jeans,wholesale handbags online, because I literally almost always will be found in jeans. No lie there. And when you are a jean and simple top wearer,wholesale designer handbags, your handbag is allowed to be ornate and is allowed to add pizazz to you outfit.

This collection from Versace is inspired by Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. The use of color and panels makes sense, though I am not remembering many pastel hues from the movie. Nevertheless, the small bag with the long chain handle is all the rage right now. Versace prices are always on the high end of the spectrum, as it is with this bag. Buy through Net A Porter for $2,895.

Diane Von Furstenberg’s box clutches are chic on a budget

A evening bag is hard to find, and it’s even harder to find at a reasonable price. Most people won’t use a tiny clutch multiple times a day like they might use a shoulder bag or tote, so spending big bucks for a glittery little minaudiere usually isn’t a particularly palatable option. Bottega Veneta’s knot clutches and Alexander McQueen’s skull clutches may be totally covetable (not to mention collectable), but the prices for both start in the four figures and climb steadily from there.

If the thought of spending that much makes you uncomfortable but you’d still like a similar bag (or maybe several), then Diane Von Furstenberg’s recently launched line of box clutches is perfect for you. Prices vary depending on size, but this oh-so-current version of the Diane Von Furstenberg Lytton Minaudiere rings up at a very reasonable $300.

I like so many things about this clutch that I barely know where to begin. The color scheme works perfectly with the pattern – zebra is a strong statement for any bag,rolex replica, but rendering it in black and charcoal dials down the volume just enough to make it modern and sophisticated. The signature twig closure provides a perfect compliment. Not only do the colors and tones work together seamlessly, but the choice in material compliments them very well. Stingray embossing has an almost glittery effect,discount wholesale handbags, without the shedding hassle and extreme shine of actual glitter. This larger size is big enough for all of your nighttime essentials,rolex 8570f price, and the price is an absolute steal. Buy through Net-a-Porter for $300.

UPDATE: Net-a-Porter seems to have raised the price to $325. It was $300 at the initial publication of this post.

Adriana Castro and Zara Terez Press Preview Recap

Adriana Castro

After a long day of classes, well, you need something fun and different to perk you up,factory direct purses, especially if it’s the start of a long weekend. So when Shannon and Megs told me about a press preview held by fabulous PR firm B’squared, I jumped at the chance.

The brand of exotics,watches you, Adriana Castro was featured alongside up-and-coming handbag designer Zara Terez. The loot was displayed all over the hotel room. Have you ever imagined being Nicole Richie and having your Balenciagas and costume jewelry just littered about all over the place? That’s what this was like, albeit much neater and more organized. It was quite the haven. Just imagine- Adriana Castro’s fuchsia Glazed Croc Lola Tote, the Modish clutch, a few Glazed Python Coco clutches, and a plethora of belts and bangles and Lady Zip wallets- all splayed on a bed. The effect was quite vibrant. I asked about my current favorite, the Glazed Python Annie Clutch in Purple, but publicists informed me that it’s on loan to Gossip Girl at the moment. Well. I suppose us bloggers can have good taste too, right?

Adriana Castro Bags and Mille & Me Jewelery And right across the room was an equally extensive collection of Zara Terez. Featured was a rack of Nolita and Chelsea bags with messenger chains, and lined across the bed’s headboard was a bunch of differently patterned Bleeker leather messengers. The feathered bags like the Birds of a Feather and Birds Short, displayed on a bed, are great statement clutches, but if you’re into the bucket bag trend be sure to check out the Forest Hills. My personal favorite of Zara Terez’s, the 14th Precinct holster, also made an appearance in green suede.

Plus, there was tons of amazing jewelry- from the chunky layered chain necklaces of Millie& Me to super-dainty dangling earrings by Amanda Rudey. Not to mention the masses of amazingly detailed costume jewelry collected by Ali Galgano and sold at Charmandchain.com. Pay special attention to the crazy intricate pieces by Israeli designer Dori Csengeri, who backs every piece with leather and uses unexpected materials like cloth, wood, and the occasional cabochon. Let’s face it, we all need a little bling to go with our handbags,watches for you, especially if it’s as gorgeous and versatile as this.
