Lanvin jeweled 'Nyota' shoulder bag

After the catastrophic flowered denim tote, Lanvin strikes back with this jeweled 'Nyota' shoulder bag that is burning with style.  If you have a bag that is this gorgeous, you don't need an elaborate dress... a LBD is enough.  You can have this at Barneys for $2,890.

Proenza Schouler cross body saddle bag

The first time I hear of Proenza Schouler when the Olsen twins wore the brand's shoes in one red carpet event a very long time ago.  I check out their designs from time to time and I find them chic and wearable.  School girl.  Chic school girl. This saddle bag really reminds me of school girls... Japanese school girls in particular.  I wonder if it, in any way, inspired the designers in making this bag.  The strap can be removed, it closes via turn lock and has a jacquard interior.  Everything is made in leather.

You can have this bag at Barneys for $1,850 and this is also available in brown.

Lanvin flowered denim tote

If there's one thing that I remembered most about my teacher, it is her way of saying"Wrong spelling, is wrong." My favorite thing to do when I was in grade school was to spell words.  I perfect each spelling quiz every time and I am proud of it.  So, it's a little bit disappointing to see that Lanvin actually spelled Lanvin in this flowered denim tote as LANVIM. And they are expecting us to buy this for $1,745.

Lanvin, like what my teacher said, "wrong spelling, IS wrong".

Hello Kitty 'Nerd' plaid tote bag

I have never seen Hello Kitty wearing glasses before so I was surprised of this 'Nerd' plaid tote bag by Loungefly.  It is cute that it brought me back to the days where owning any Hello Kitty item was a status symbol.  If you still have that inner kid in you, you can have this for $52 at Torrid.
