Black & Brown London Chelsea Wide-Link Belt


Why not venture to the world of other accessories today? Recently I have been indulging in a belt fetish. When I say indulging, I mean gawking over them but not actually buying and new ones. I have stolen a gorgeous belt from my mom though, which she is not happy about. It is funny how trends come in and out. This belt is from the 70’s she said, but it is completely chic and I love it. If you happen to have figured out how to turn on the computer mom, I’m sorry but I will not be returning your belt. On the search for a perfect big belt, I have my eye set on the Black & Brown London Chelsea Wide-Link Belt which is an oversized grained brown leather belt that shows off basket-weaving to create the dimension and shape. I am not sure what you all will think of it, but I love the look of a huge chunky belt with the perfect pair of jeans and a cute top. Finished off with a squared antiqued brass buckle, this belt may be huge and over the top, but I’d love to rock it out. Don’t even fool yourself though, this belt is not cheap. Buy it through eLuxury for $248.

Botkier Bianca Large Satchel



For me certain brands have their own signature bag. I always feel like having that signature bag can keep all of us from seeing their other bags, just because of the mere fact that we are really only aware of ‘their’ bag. As for Botkier, I felt like I kept seeing the same bag modeled again and again. But when I ran into this new look, I found it refreshing. The Botkier Bianca Large Satchel is intricately crafted from soft Italian cowhide. To add some dimension, the bag shows off two curved front pouch pockets that close with signature long tassel pulls. Straying away from a very structured look, this bag gives off a slouchy appearance which I love. Accenting the satchel is polished gold metal hardware. The shoulder straps are made from rolled leather with studs. Brining it all together is the front flap with a Botkier twist-lock closure. While this bag does not scream out for attention, it did lure me in. The satchel is available in either black or dusty gold, and if I had my way I would opt for the dusty gold. Buy it through eLuxury for $695.
