Designer Handbags

Just because you have the money to afford exotics, it does not mean you are free from being a fashion victim or toting something tacky. Many bags that implement exotic skins are gorgeous in my eyes, yet being too ornate is not a good thing. The Oscar de la Renta Alligator Tile Satchel is designed with materials that stand alone beautifully but when put together are too much to handle. Chocolate suede outlines black and tan alligator tiles which lead to the tortoise shell handles. Only adding more gaudiness to the bag is gold-tone hardware and the extended tab and lock closure. Sometimes less is more. Bag for a so not worth it $4500 via Bergdorf Goodman.

Like I mentioned earlier, I attended a wedding in Indianapolis this weekend. Yesterday, Vlad and I met two good friends for lunch before heading back. Of course, I cunningly picked to eat at Cheesecake Factory which was directly next to Saks Fifth Ave (and also perfectly next to our Sheraton Hotel). It was all coincidence, promise

While the men waited for our table, my new and oh-so-similar friend Danelle and I hopped over to Saks. I just so happened to go in the door that lead us right to bags and shoes. Surprisingly, there was quite a nice Chanel collection of bags and a pretty decent sized Louis Vuitton section. But Danelle and I made our way to the shoe section to find some foot candy. Right there in front of us stood one of the most beautiful pair of shoes either of us has ever seen. The Rene Caovilla Jeweled Lace Sandals manifest their beauty in elegant lace with metallic threading. Also, there is plush but barely there haircalf lining, a jeweled vamp ornament over the front, 3ВЅ” heel, and a slingback with buckle closure. Even though the shoes are special order only, the 6.5 that Saks had fit Danelle nearly perfectly. I kept pushing her to buy them, but they weren’t a perfect fit and the price tag was incredible. When we turned the shoes over, I was wishing and hoping the messily written 8 was a 3. But the 8 was an 8, and these shoes can make your feet oh so sexy for $815 via Saks. Now, if only they had a 9.5.
