Alexander McQueen Woven Novak Satchel


I’m not going to lie to you all. While the Novak made a huge impact on the fashion world, I was a bit hesitant to know if I really loved the bag at first. It was hard for me to come into my own opinion when everyone else and every fashionable being/magazine that I knew was raving about the bag. After letting it set in some time, I have fallen in love. The shape is so unique that I am completely enamored. Even more so than before, the Alexander McQueen Woven Novak Satchel has caught my attention with its defining beauty. Designed from cognac woven and smooth leather and accented with golden hardware, the shape and textured style of this bag combine to form an impeccable duo. At the top, the satchel has top handles with rings and closes with a leather pull tab and zip top closure. On the beautifully made front there is a front strap with a turn-lock closure and a center ring detail. Overall the satchel measures 17 3/5″H x 14 2/5″W x 3 1/5″D and I can’t seem to get enough of it. Pre-order this cognac piece of magic through Neiman Marcus for $1460.

Fendi Denim Spy Bags


While so many of you are not fans of the Spy, me and my beloved Spy would like to introduce those of you who are Spy lovers to the newest editions to the family. Meet the Denim spy Family. While they are nothing like the leather Spy’s, they have a little bit of blue jean beauty to them. One of them I can see myself liking to wear here and there the other I only see myself really liking because the price is about $500 cheaper than what I paid. First we have the Fendi Striped Denim Spy Bag. Similar to the Marc bag I posted a few days ago, the new jean bag Spy shows off striped denim with contrast stitching and white woven leather trim and handles. There is the signature Spy snap flap closure with the hidden coin purse and denim lining. If you are casual chic, would you want to wear this bag which measures 10″H X 16″L X 5″W? Buy it for a bit of a cheaper price when it comes to the world of Spy’s: $1520 through Saks.


And then we find the Fendi Embroidered Denim Spy Bag which I could see myself wearing when I wanted to be most casual chic woman ever. this denim bag shows off silver embroidery and sequin detail and is also accented with white leather trim and handles. Just like the other Spy’s, this Spy has a flap closure along with a hidden coin purse. Open up to find multicolor canvas lining which adds a bit of fun. Sizing up a bit differently than its denim sister, this bag measures 9″H X 17″L X 6″W and is not as price friendly: buy it through Saks for $3090.
