LeSportsac Weekend Bag

Posted by Coast Side Babe | Bags and then Some | Monday 23 May 2011 10:07 pm

Looking for a descent bag that I will not worry if getting dirty for our travel in Hawaii and I thought of LeSportsac. Well, we got our luggage for the trip but I also want to have a light hand carry bag that I can put the essentials which I can carry in the plane. I don’t want a backpack, I will leave that to my husband who might be bringing some gadgets. Anyway, here are my choices:

Bags to Adore

I am drooling now, why? Well, a client of mine is asking me to buy a couple of bags for her, 3 bags to be exact, one for the beach and then something for formal and a luggage that she will use for her Hawaii trip soon and I must say, Bergdorf Goodman has so much in store. I want a bag for myself! This is one of the disadvantages of being a personal shopper, I get to see so much goodies that I want to buy it for me too. Darn! Anyway, let me share to you the pieces that I am drooling at and so maybe you can drool too. LOL.

I love to travel and I think Louis Vuitton is one of the best brands to have a great array of travel stuff that is worth to collect. They can be very pricey but I always believe in the best quality and durability plus the designs are very pretty. What they have aside from their posh luggage and bags? Well they also have city guides, fine books, travel books and pens.

Are Tassels In?

Posted by Coast Side Babe | Bags and then Some | Friday 1 April 2011 12:48 am

Speaking of Gucci, I took a peek of their handbags and I saw cute bags with tassels.

What is a tassel?

A pendent ornament consisting commonly of a bunch of threads, small cords, or other strands hanging from a roundish knob or head, used on clothing, in jewelry, on curtains, etc.

Anyway, Gucci has a couple of nice bags and though I am not a fan of tassels on bags, I find these items really pretty…

‘marrakech’ medium messenger bag with woven leather trim and tassels with metal G details. $1890

GUCCI HB3
‘marrakech’ medium shoulder bag with woven leather trim and tassels with metal G details. $2290

GUCCI HB 2

Pretty Wristlets

Posted by Coast Side Babe | Bags and then Some | Tuesday 1 March 2011 9:54 pm

Did I mentioned that I love wristlets? Particularly large ones that I can bring to a quick trip in the grocery or running an errand to a nearby place. I am actually a very opposite kinda girl, either I bring really huge bags or just a wristlet will get me by. What will fit inside a large wristlet? Usually I have a few bills, some change and my credits cards and then my mobile phone and hand sanitizer and wipes then I’m all set. If I have my car, I usually bring the huge bag in there and just bring the wristlet when I need to go somewhere. Anyway, I found a few cute ones from Coach that I think I’m going to check out soon.

Mini Alexa

I found a really cute mini Alexa from Mulberry’s site. If you find the big one really expensive and big, they came up with a smaller version.

From the site:

Your favorite Alexa has shrunk! But this is a good kind of tiny, with all your favourite Alexa features, adapted to a smaller scale. Mini-Alexa still has the cross-body strap to carry it easily, and enough room for all of your essentials.

Santa Baby

I have one wish that I want to have this Christmas for myself and that is a PRADA tote. I’ve been eyeing for this tote for a while now and I am hoping my Santa Baby aka the husband will read this.

Prada

Tote which is priced at $2,295

I think I’ve been pretty nice the whole year. A little mistake here and there but I’m sure my Santa Baby can let those things pass. I sure hope so! :D

Satchels are In

Posted by Coast Side Babe | Bags and then Some | Monday 6 December 2010 2:07 pm

I don’t know if Mulberry Alexa gave satchels a new name but there are tons of satchels getting sold almost everyday. I have a few which I saw that I’m really interested in…

Cambridge

Cambridge Satchel Company Briefcase Bag

Classic British school bag from The Cambridge Satchel Company timelessly stylish and effortlessly versatile. Handmade in England using premium leather and chromed hardware; pouch pocket at the front with ID holder; buckle strap closure; adjustable shoulder strap.

Alexa

Oversized Alexa

Named after and inspired by modern British style icon Alexa Chung, this is the bag you’ve been waiting for. A cross between our iconic Bayswater and our men’s briefcase, the Oversized Alexa is both formal and casual, structured and relaxed. Effortlessly chic.

ASOS Handbags

Posted by Coast Side Babe | Bags and then Some | Saturday 4 December 2010 6:59 pm

These days bags come in really pricey but you can guarantee great quality. I don’t mind investing on an expensive bag as longs as you know they are made with great materials, most preferably leather, doesn’t have to be branded but should be very stylish. I saw nice and not so expensive bags over at ASOS.com and boy they look similar to some really expensive bags in the market today…
