Top 50 signature handbags - LA Times

http://www.latimesmagazine.com/2010/03/50-bags.html

Here is a list of the top 50 handbags, which per the LA Times "epitomize the notion of cachet and carry".

Large Gucci Sukey Tote in Silver

I haven't been in the Gucci store in a while but after a visit today this bag caught my eye. It is the Sukey large tote in silver and my favorite guccissima leather. It is lined in fabric. I preferred the largest size but it comes in medium also. It also comes in black, off-white, python and monogram canvas. You can find it in this color and size online at Neimans and Gucci.com

In honor of the recent blizzard...

I got a chance to wear my Gucci and Chanel snow boots. At least there was a fashion opportunity to be found out of all this snow! The Chanel Apres Snow Boots are on display at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art

YSL Tributes sizing

Ok I couldn't help myself after all the focus on shopping for the impending baby and though my feet are often swollen and wearing most of my designer shoes are just not option right now I had to jump on the holiday sales.

I had some AMEX points that I used to get a gift card at Neimans to defray the cost so I got the burgundy YSL Tributes that I have had in my cart much of this year. Well I love the look but wasn't sure of my size and 41 was the only thing available on sale so I thought I'd give it a try. They didn't fit. Well, I can confirm that as a size 11 you will need a size 42 in YSL Tributes so back they go. My heel was completely hanging over the edge. I am not totally disappointed though since similar to the oxblood glitter Louboutins these lean more toward brown than burgundy...I really prefer a true burgundy shoe. Even though I couldn't fit them I could tell that the size of the platform makes these far more comfy than the heel height would suggest.

Oh well...more funds for the next splurge :)

Now on Twitter!

Hi all, I know it has been a while. I'm nearing the last month of pregnancy and there has been so much to do and so much focus on baby shopping that I haven't been on top of following fashion as much.

I just started a twitter account for a fast easy way to share fashion finds that I locate while browsing around the internet.
