Chanel Calfskin Logo Flap Bag

February 01, 2007

Chanel Calfskin Flap BagChanel offers lots of fantastic and luxe bags each season, but since they're a classics maker, there isn't always much too unique to shout about. Still, the bags are fabu, and I vow now to blog more about this brand favored among many. (Including myself, oh my first Chanel, come to me!)

For Spring, there are a lot of bright whites and luxe skins, but what catches my fancy most is something I think is actually a bit new and different. It's a calfskin flap bag - standard enough, but it's the logo I love (well, for a different reason from usual). The Chanel inverted Cs continue on from flap to bag body ... and of course, because it is Chanel after all, they flow seamlessly and align perfectly. Super swoon!

Wow, I really need my first Chanel soon ... or two. ;-)

Gap CEO Paul Pressler Fired

February 01, 2007

CEO of Gap, Inc., Paul Pressler, was fired after several seasons of poor sales, even though stock was up, apparently (I don't know, for I know someone who's stock dropped to $7 [and the fee to sell was higher]!).

What are your thoughts? Why did this happen? Is Gap looking to make huge changes?

I'm wondering, is Old Navy's marketing guy/girl going to get the sack for their TV spots?

Despite Warning, Bag Ladies Still at Large

February 01, 2007

Huge Chanel BagDespite doctor's health warnings, bag lovers and consumers still love their bags big. Personally, I even feel a petite girl with a big tote looks so amazing. This trend is lasting, folks.

Here are the numbers on our poll:


Are Huge Bags In?
o In!: 57% (34)
o Out!: 20% (12)
o Not into them, more like I could FIT INTO them!: 23% (14)

Total Votes : 60

And here are some of the comments we've received:

I love both tiny and huge bags. I will not be giving up giant bags any time soon! I am very careful about overloading them, though. I like to be able to find what I have, so I always edit, edit, edit to the bare minimum. If I don’t carefully observe this rule I DO end up with neck and shoulder pain. Also, when I’m thinking about buying a bag I pay attention to how heavy it is empty. If it’s too heavy on its own I just won’t buy it - unless it’s to die for fabulous, of course. I love my giant bags!

I love huge hand bags. I just simply alternate from side to side to even it all out!

As for what I think? I love being able to carry everything I need. I even use a Paddington often, although not always with the padlock. I love the way it looks, too, even on a tiny girl! Viva la large bag!

Perfect Resort Burberry Check Satchel

February 01, 2007
Burberry Resort Check SatchelFrom resort right through Spring and Summer, Burberry offers a cute little (well, big) plaid check satchel with white leather trim and rope detail. Measuring 14" x 8" x 7" with shoulder handles, the breezy beauty plops down on the counter with a large $890 pricetag. But it's so worth it with the details including others such as bias check print and three outer pockets. This cute bag isn't a practical steal, but it's luxe and fun.
