Luella, logo's are kind of out if you're thinking Gucci, it's kind of Ghetto at this point. I actually own the lilac luella and it's huge but they make a smaller size which is perfect.

I did not go with the luella because I find it really hard to carry. My main objective is to carry a larger bag that is comfortable with my baby. I also did not like that there are so many replicas of the Luella. Gucci, I do not think of as"ghetto". Anyone can say any bag is ghetto, I mean Christina Aguillera carries a luella bartley, does that make the bag ghetto? You can say I am a fan of logos since I own several Louis Vuiton bags, which I view as classic. And by no means am I defending Gucci, I do think it is a poorly made bag for the price. After I got the bag home I realized that it is material and not made well, which is why I returned it. At this point, I am not thinking of purchasing any of the above bags. I guess I am going back to Louis Vuitton. I did want soemthing different, but I have not come across anything that is as well made as Louis Vuitton.

The black one by far..it's amazing!!!

how big of a bag are you looking for?

my sister got a reade GM tote from LV a few months ago. it's a discontinued vernis style, but i know the store had two beige in the stock room, just sitting there (and had been for two years, or so...since it was discontinued). my sister bought one, + i'm not sure if the other has sold as of now..
it can fit on your shoulder, which makes it easy to carry...but it's VERY VERY large....

if you're looking at LV, the cabas alto is a nice bag....+ big .. (but maybe too big? it was only a little smaller than the reade GM...we looked at that bag before she found out they actually HAD the reade GM she was wanting...)

and i really like the Mandara GM bag in the epi line....i actually saw that one at the store last friday + it's a decent size (maybe the size of the last gucci you posted --the one i love-- but wider? but don't quote me on that) and looks like it's easily carried.......

^ that's the link to the bag on elux...



...one of the reasons i don't own a gucci bag yet is because i've heard less than wonderful things about their quality....i'm not so sure i want to spend a lot on a so-so bag.....

awww, i'm sure i've said this in my other post, but really!! good luck on finding your bag...<3

Basically, green is going to be hot for spring.. according to wgsn.



Colors for accessories are:
• Neutrals and whites are tinged with colour.

• Coloured darks replace black.

• Grey tones have become more important, with browns moving to lighter and more neutral shades for summer.

• Yellow ranges from warm and sunny shades to fresh and citrus.

• Greens are fresh and minty.

• Greens and blues merge to create an important level of petrol, teals and aquas.

• Purple, pink and berry tones continue to grow in importance.

• Pink and red merge with orange, resulting in a level of coral, copper and fresh peach tones.

I love this bag, is it by Marc Jacobs?

 

[sandrac823]

Hello, I purcahsed a bag yesterday. I am sorry to say I failed to do what i set out to do; get a tottaly different bag from the bags I already own. I went back to Louis Vuitton. I got the Mussette large bag that I will wear like a messenger bag. I figured I can make it look a little unique with key chains, maybe I will look at the prada key chains? I will take a picture of the bag later tonight and post it. Thank you for your help, I really did appreciate all your feeback. I think I will keep this bag..... I am like 80% sure(I only have 14 days to return the bag). Unless I see something great in the next 2 weeks this will be my winter bag. I will save my unique bag hunt for the spring I guess

All of today, I can not stop thinking of this Doctor's bag. It reminds me of the Jimmy Choo doctor bag. I would love to buy that one but it is out of my price range. Who is this doctor's bag by? Thanks!
