John Galliano Lingerie Handbag



The more I have delved into high end fashion, I have realized designers truly have no problem saying what they really think. John Galliano’s was recently recorded saying his motivation when he designs is to design clothes for women that make men want to f*** them. If that is not toally upfront and forward, I don’t know what is. What I do know is that our society and culture have pressed women to dess sexy and desirable. And what is wrong with feeling desired?

After that being said, as much as Galliano’s remark took me off guard, I do have to admit that his designs are sexy and his bags are unique and simply divine. I’m in love with his Lingerie Handbag. Evening bags are hard to come by, and a soft yet chic design shows beauty and true sophistication. The bag comes in light pink, white, beige, and black and is made of satin, leather, and metal adornments. The dimensions are 13 1/2″W x 5″H x 4″D and you can purchase the bag for $1235 at Style Drops.

Dior Vintage Flowers Saddle Pouch



I’ve been meaning to credit the Dior Saddle Bag for the longest time, and finally comes the day that I do so. What the Kelly to Hermes, and what the classic monogram is to LV, Dior’s is the Saddle Bag. The form is just extraordinarily sexy and timeless, and as much as the bags were withheld from the general public in their earliest days, these days we can consider ourselves lucky to have unrestricted access to the Saddles. Which of the Saddles you will call your own someday depends mainly on your funds, of course.

I’ve decided to go with the entry Saddle level with the Vintage Flowers Saddle Pouch. The bags have been reinvented over the years, and this season the tendency gears towards going back to the roots. The classic logo jacquard is embroidered with elegant flowers to add a delightful burst of spring color. A leather trim and silver metal hardware round off the glamorous package. For a reasonable $350 at Elux.
