Chloe Python Hobo


While Chloe may be my homegirl, she has done a number that has turned my head away pretty quickly. The Chloe Python Hobo looks more like a horse saddle with chains than anything else to me. The only difference it has than the horse saddle is that it is a little more posh than rustic, with some metallic gold python blinging in your eyes. I don’t know if there is really a part of this bag that I like- I guess the only thing that doesn’t seem awful to me is the push-lock closure on the front flap. Other than that, I got nothing. I can handle exotic skins and I can handle metallic, but I sure can’t handle overly gold metallic python skin, golden hardware, and a chain shoulder strap with rings. Is it just me or is this hobo too much? Sizing up at 11″H x 13″W x 5 1/2″D, I give each inch of this thing a no thanks. If you are up for the gold rush, you can find this hobo through Neiman Marcus for $915.

Kate Spade Rivington-Gisele Handbag



And Viewer’s Choice Monday is back at you! Actually, it never quite went away, but the thread got a little lost in space and noone was aware this was still happening. But it is, so smile and let’s see what some of the reader’s want to hear about today. One of our most loyal readers and quite the bugetnista herself, Chemlex, has pointed our way towards the Kate Spade Rivington-Gisele Handbag. For a perfect little handbag, Kate has implemented the chic use of mettalic leather with a matte finish. Bringing in two of our favorite shiny colors, this sleek bag uses both gold and silver matte leather and is accented with nickel-tone hardware. The bag closes via a flap closure and has an interior zip pocket to hide the little necessities we all carry. Keep in mind that the width and height of this bag make the bag seem like it would carry a little more than it truly till, because the depth is a mere inch (11″W x 6″H x 1″D). Grab this beauty via Nordstrom for $223.90 (of course a marked down price!)
