Marc Jacobs Iris Sequined BagI have a serious obsession with pink bags at the moment especially when they have the words ‘Marc Jacobs’ in the title! This beautiful Marc Jacobs Iris sequined bag is a must have for the summer, its bright, shiny and practical with its shoulder strap. A silver frog is positioned on the front of the bag taken from his spring mainline collection where the frog was a dominant theme.

Slogan Tote!

Monday, April 28th, 2008

Katherine Hamnett ToteKatharine Hamnett is well known for her powerful slogan t shirts that raise concern for the environment. However, Hamnett has recently branched out into new areas by producing an accessory range to encourage a more ethical way of thinking.

The ‘Clean up or die’ slogan is one of Hamnett’s most thought provoking slogans and has been chosen to be printed onto a new collection of totes. All of Hamnett’s collections have been produced with as little impact on the environment as possible, for example this tote is made from organic cotton and has been printed with environmentally friendly inks.

Marc Jacobs Rana BagNow that summer is on its way I think its about time to get funkier with bright colours and accessories! I just saw this Marc Jacobs Rana evening bag over at Net-a-porter and immediately pictured myself strutting down the road in my flip flops and oversized shades feeling fabulous with this gorgeous accessory on my shoulder!

The spring catwalk has been full of neon and fluro, I love the way Mark Jacobs has taken this style and added his special touch creating a classic bag with sport like strap that can be removed to form an elegant clutch if preferred.

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

Fendi Peacock Evening BagFendi have a fantastic new bag collection that is sending fashionista’s into a frenzy! This collection is inspired by peacocks with feathers being a main feature of the collection.

This silver peacock evening bag has to be the most stunning from the collection. The long rectangular crystal panels give it that extra glitz that will add immediate glamour to your outfit.

It is the perfect spring bag and will look fab with those fresh spring neutrals.

A great bag is the key to a great outfit and this bag is definitely capable of making any outfit! To purchase this key piece, check out Asos, it costs £595 but is definitely a keeper!


The Bag Of 2008

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

prada-fairy-bag.jpgI know it’s only nearing April but I have found the bag of the year so far and what I think will be the ‘it’ bag of the year. It’s the new Prada Printed Buckskin Handbag with fairy tale illustration and it is adorable!

The limited edition number has been a hit already and was only available in a limited number of stores. To make matters worse, along with the scarce amount of bags available you will probably be wait listed before it even comes back in to stock. However if you are lucky enough to get your hands on one, treasure it as it is a one off beauty that will bring great envy from the fashion savvy.

The fairy tale illustration bag is £1050. Visit your nearest Prada store or the Prada website for more information on the bag.


A Balenciaga Beauty

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

balenciaga-arena-city-bag.jpgI’m still infatuated with the bright bags and Balenciaga’s timeless classic city bag is now available in magenta … all hail Balenciaga.

The Arena City Bag will make a fantastic statement this summer not only from being one of the most famous bags to hit the fashion world because of the endless A-list owners but because its so bright and beautiful it will stand out from any outfit you wear, unless of course you go for the full magenta outfit. Spacious, with two lengthy shoulder straps and studded detail … Sounds like a good investment.

Order your Balenciaga Arena City Bag from Browns Fashion online now for £930.


Perfect In Prada

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

prada-nappa-clutch-bag.jpgSome more amazing bright coloured clutch purses have come to my attention and this time they are Prada. I have not always caught on to the Prada style, I often follow smaller designers or vintage stores but I am in awe at Prada’s spring/summer collection. Florals and bright colours … perfect!

The clutch in question is the Prada Nappa Clutch with asymmetrical motif and polished steel hardware. Available in five different colours, papaya, peony, violet, black and turquoise the cute clutch is fabulous for summer and ideally it would be great to have all of them in each colour. However at £545 each I guess it will stay a dream for me.

Get yours at your nearest Prada store or visit the Prada website for more information.


Embellish Me!

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

Monsoon Embellished BagI am obsessed with the fantastic selection of embellished bags from Monsoon/ Accessorize this season! They are so vibrant in an array of different colours and designs to really get you in the mood for summer.

I am always drawn to embellishments and these beautifully embellished bags certainly grasped my attention. Monsoon has definitely provided a bag for every outfit with this range as the multicoloured gems and beads pick up on every colour!

However if you are more of a neutral girl you may prefer this stunning cream satin trim bag, which is one of my favourites! For £40 it’s pretty reasonable, I just can’t wait for the weather to get warmer so I can justify buying one! Check out their site for more fabulous bags!
