Bag
I’ve always had a soft spot for girly bags, maybe because I didn’t have a lot of girly stuff growing up. My mother’s style was quite minimalistic, which influenced my style to be quite simple and clean. Since I’m her only daughter, we always shop together. Now that we live far away from each other, I shop by myself and I have started to unleash my girlie fixation.
I love this YSL Y-Bow; it has just the perfect amount of girlie and at the same time looking very luxurious. I’ve seen Dita Von Teese with the leather version, which was also gorgeous. But I think this version is even more feminine thanks to the soft suede. The suede leather makes the overal look of the bag much softer and lush while the embossed lizzard pattern gives it the luxury look without the hefty price tag (a real lizzard bag this size would cost a lot more).
This YSL Bowler is a bag that still manages to steal the show without a hint of shine from a single piece of hardware. Pre-Order from Neiman Marcus for $1,695
This is by far the most understated and minimalist bag that I have ever seen. There is no hardware, there is no pocket, there are no bells and whistles, nothing. This bag only has the absolutely necessary to be called a bag. I’m sure this bag will look like a lump of suede when empty. I absolutely love this. You might think I’m crazy, but sometimes I need to take a break from all the crazy designs and colors and just be subtle. You really can not go anymore subtle than this. Even the color of this bag is very subdued: light grey. When I look at this bag, I think about the word “zen”. Don’t you agree?
