Marc Jacobs Striped Hudson Bag


Many times explaining the beauty of something needs nothing more than an image. Maybe it is the lighting, but I would have to believe that this handbag is actually more stunning in person than it looks in the picture. The Marc Jacobs Striped Hudson Bag is made from supple dark brown leather and is accented with tonal leather striped trim. The stripes add the perfect element to this simple and elegant bag. Golden hardware is paired with the double top handles with rings along with a push-lock closure. Adding a little more dimension is the inverted pleat on the front. If only I weren’t broke. Buy one of the new hottest bags via Bergdorf Goodman for $1275.

Celine Asymmetric Shoulder Bag



I have decided I have a case of OCD. I am sure we all do to some extent. But I have my ‘things’. For instance I must have my keys out and ready before I get to my car or house, I must wash my hands about 800 times when cooking or after riding the sub, and I am a perfectionist. So the thought of a a bag that is asymmetric bothers me a little bit - I am lying, quite a bit. The Celine Asymmetric Shoulder Bag is designed from mahogany leather and is accented with gold hardware and wood detailing on one end of the strap. Yes, just one end (OCD is kicking in here). The body of the bag is also asymmetric (OCD alert) which adds a different appeal to the eye. There is a gold zip fastening at the top and this shoulder bag is lined in red fabric. You be the judge- but my OCD and perfectionism kind of makes me not love this bag. Buy it via Net-a-porter for $1550.
