Aspen, how about a Lorelei NY clutch in pewter?

Thanks. I like the first one! I think it'll work better than the Lauren Merkin since its smoother leather. I've sent back the LM.

I'm sixteen and can't afford exactly to get bags to match numerous outfit, so I need something really versatile that I can take everywhere that will complement as much as possible. As well, since I'm not so fortunate as to be able to buy exotic skins, just leather or suede, please. My winter coat is very mod and bright red with white buttons, so it definitely needs to go with that too. I'm thinking gold Chloe Paddington, but I'm not sure. Help me please?

wow.. just one bag... umm a classic chanel 255 is very versatile.. but its not very roomy...what exactly is your price range?

Any recommendations for a nice frame bag?
I've looked at the Clandestine, but it doesn't do anything special for me. I also ordered the Stam, but it didn't have the same wow factor in IRL, so I ended up returning it.

okay, so i didn't know where else to put this, butttttt....
im going on vacation in a few days down to san diego. i'm trying to figure out which bags i want to bring.....probably a max of two. I'm thinking about bringing my michael kors overnighter as i'll probably be picking all sorts of stuff up during the day. my dilema is whether or not to bring my stam bag. do you think it will be okay in the trunk of my car when im not using it? im a lil paranoid about bringing such a pricey bag, but i wanna go shopping too and i really want to carry something chic and that i love, and that'd be my stam. my overnighters great too, just more practical.....any help or advice??? im tired and need some second opinions before i ship off thanks

I say bring it all along..use the Stam cover or dustbag that it came with when not using it during your vacation. The Stam is such a beautiful bag, it is a shame that it is left at home..

thanks!!

^yeah, i say bring it along in the dustbag so you can use it whenever you need it enjoy your trip!

i want a gray bag.
i don't mind it being hand held. i like a larger bag... probably at least 12 inches across. under $300 if possible.

thanks.. if anyone can help.

patent leather bags


can anyone suggest a black patent bag with gold hardware???

i have a fendi bag that i got many many years ago which i carried for many years...

it is an 'antiqued' (wrinkled) patent leather with gold hardware ...
and it was the best bag EVER!!!...
the perfect shape..
the perfect size...
the perfect style...

it went from day to evening seamlessly and went with every single thing i owned...
it was stylish, chic, elegant, sexy and a little bit rock n roll...
i LOVED it...

that bag has been laid to rest-(in my closet)
and ever since then i have been on a hunt for a bag...

so -
can anyone suggest a black patent bag with gold hardware???
OR-
maybe burgundy/bordeaux patent
OR-
maybe nude patent
etc...

please?...


thanks!...

The Jimmy Choo Ramona?
It comes in black patent or bordeaux patent this season, has gold hardware and is a great size to carry from day to night.
If the Ramona's too big, there's a smaller version of it called the Rasia (if I recall correctly)

edit: I just saw your post in the Ramona thread, so....

marc jacobs has several black patent bags with gold hardware and burgundy too (multipocket, stam, elise, ursula, etc....)....he doesn't have nude, but has a color called "blush" which is very close. good luck!
