Ivanka Trump Style: Chanel Luxury Ligne Bowler

Blog By www.LuxuPurse.com

Filed under: Chanel Handbags , Celebrity Style

We should all be able to agree on three facts about THE Donald Trump. 1) He is a brilliant business man. 2) His hair is horrible. Let’s just get that out in the open. 3) His daughter is beautiful and stylish, Ivanka that is. I am fairly confident that we can all agree on the three facts above. Over the weekend, Ivanka and her friend were dressed to impress while shopping in NYC. Granted, Ivanka could use a tad extra fabric in the bust area, but her outfit overall was stylishly chic and meticulously put together. Paired with her cream colored wrap around dress, Ivanka toted a red Chanel Luxury Ligne Bowler. Chanel accessories are fashion staples in their own right, designed to be simple and timeless. The Chanel Luxury Ligne Bowler adds sass to an outfit without looking seasonal-trendy, which of course is what any Chanel-clad lady is attempting to steer away from. While Donald may not know when to close his mouth or how to style his hair, he did a great job on his daughter.
Edit: I inadvertently called an apple an orange! The bag Ivanka is carrying is the Chanel Luxury Ligne Bowler.More pictures after the jump!(more…)

Bottega Veneta Struzzo Intrecciato Bag

Blog By www.LuxuPurse.com

Filed under: Bottega Veneta

It is a known fact that I am a Bottega Veneta lover. I knew the beauty of the brand a few years ago, but still was missing out on enjoying the delicious and buttery soft leather to the fullest. Go be that person; you know, the person who touches and feels the bags and says “Ohh” and “Ahh” in the handbag department. Tell them I sent you. Wait, actually, don’t :wink:. For a piece of true Bottega Veneta heaven, feast your eyes on the mouth-watering Bottega Veneta Struzzo Intrecciato Bag. The signature woven leather is one-upped, as it is done in exotic supple ostrich. The ostrich adds a bit of texture, without looking overly ‘plucked’. Structured handbags, which we will see much of in the fall, define the clean lines while being able to showcase the smooth leather trim, rich brass hardware, and push-lock closure. For additional outside appeal, there are two outer flap pockets with hook closures. As always, a luxurious bag like this is lined in suede. Dimensions are 12″W x 8″H x 4″D. Be ready for the one piece of info that will make you sigh in a different way. The price is $6520 at Saks. Seeing that it is an exotic skin, would you do it?

Balenciaga Bag Addicts

Blog By www.LuxuPurse.com

Filed under: Balenciaga Bags

If there is one thing I’ve learned in the past year since the opening of our Purse Forum, then it’s that there is no crowd more obsessive, determined, fanatic and crazy such as the Balenciaga crowd. These women would literally kill for some of these bags, the past season’s discontinued colors seems to be particularly sought after. It’s nuts! Balenciaga women need their own Balenciaga way, no questions asked.
One more reason why the Balenciaga Forum is so bloody busy. The Bbag creators are very strict about keeping their bags exclusive, which means that there is really no online stores that sell them… which usually leads to many ladies waiting for months until their most-wanted style and color appear in an authentic eBay auction and *BLAM* they go for the kill like they’d been starving through a winter hybernation. This is the reason why our moderators suggested the installation of an extra section for the fellow Bbag fanatics to point out last minute auctions on Bbags, which is a unique treatment and I was more than happy to give it to them.
Crazy bunch. In a good way, of course. It’s still hysterical for me to sit here and watch the crowd go ape sh*t. Only the Louis Vuitton ladies are struct with a similar, obsessive complexion. But if it came down to it, the Balenciaga ladies would take the pot home.
P.S. Now that I think about it, the Hermes Forum has quite the tough crowd, too.

Sarah Jessica Parker Balenciaga Twiggy

Blog By http://www.luxupurse.com/

Filed under: Balenciaga Bags , Celebrity Style

Sarah Jessica Parker was the fashion diva of Sex and the City. While she wanders the city, she brings a new shade to the appeal of black and white. Grey and white is her theme while out in Greenwhich Village, can’t say it is flattering. But Sarah Jessica Parker’s Balenciaga Calcaire Twiggy does make her casual train wreck outfit more suitable. SJP we commend the bag and abhor the rest.

Thanks to the members of tPF for the pic!

Cameron Diaz Balenciaga Work with Giant Hardware

Filed under: Balenciaga Bags , Celebrity Style

I will always attempt to find fault with Cameron Diaz because she dates my first no-chance-in-hell-he-will-date-me boyfriend, Justin Timberlake. Since then, I have seriously wondered why I even found him so sexy (ok so he dances from his baby toe to his left ear perfectly) and ever thought I could just maybe meet him someday. Cameron and him make a perfect commitment phobic couple. Cam does not want kids until she gets enough sleep and Justin does not want to settle down. Lately Cameron has been seen with her dark tresses, a seriously sexy pair of heels, skinny jeans, and a hot handbag. Cameron Diaz has been carrying the Balenciaga Work with Giant Hardware Spring/Summer 2007. The giant hardware is a hit or miss for many BBag lovers, but there is no doubt this outfit is gorgeous on Cam. Ah well, I let JT slip by me to an older woman with a gorgeous new handbag. Call Balenciaga NY for further information, 212 206 0872 or contact your local Balenciaga boutique.

Balenciaga Giant Hobo

Filed under: Balenciaga Bags

There are so many good arguments against carrying a white handbag. Regardless of what you may hear about winter white being the hippest color for the cold months, I just can’t get over the images of spring that a white bag brings, and thus would probably not wear a white bag for 6 months in a year. I am a messy person, and my bags get beat up sometimes. Think of your palest friend. I’ll bet she blushes and bruises brighter than anyone else you know. While that’s all well and cute, you don’t carry your pale friend on your arm. She is not a showcase of your personal style. I don’t want my bag to tell people that I’m a clumsy little girl who once in a while spills ketchup or drops her bag in the dirt (not that I do, but if I did, I’d want it to be on a darker bag). Nonetheless, every now and then, I see a very good argument for carrying a brilliant white bag. This Balenciaga Giant Hobo is one such argument. I realize that the appeal isn’t all in the color - the slouchy shape, the new gold hardware which looks terrible sometimes but really adds to this bag, the fun, slouchy shape, the sweet shortness of the top handle, the yummy, adorable, slouchy little shape - but I think this white is stunning on the hobo. I don’t think I would consider this bag for another month or two, but oof, I’ve been hit. The white just accentuates the squishy pliant looks of the leather. I want to put on a breezy red dress and take this bag on my shoulder and head to an outdoor cafe. Oh spring, hurry up already. Picture from balenciaga.com. Contact a Balenciaga boutique or your local Barneys for more info.

Balenciaga Bag Resources

Filed under: Balenciaga Bags

Balenciaga bags are still hot and I am confident that they will remain a highly popular breed. The only problem is that there is little info available, Balenciaga is very strict about the retailers they allow to sell their precious creations. I believe there is less than a handful of authorized online dealers worldwide, and availability of info on colors, styles and new bags is limited. Fortunately for us, there is our Balenciaga forum, in which the passionate fan crowd has accumulated a few invaluable resource threads for Balenciaga lovers. Please visit the forum and view the sticked resource threads - examples are Documenting Balenciaga Colors, stories carrying Bbags and Documenting Balenciaga Accessories.
Lots of eye candy in those threads, a must-read for anyone planning to expand their bag collection with a Bbag.
