Rebecca Minkoff Sample Sale

This weekend!

Baby Bow

Miu Miu Vitello Lux Bow Satchel

My first gift to myself when I got my first 'part time' job : )

It also serves as a reminder to myself that working hard pays off and if you want something, work for it, it's worth it in the end.

Danielle's New Marc Jacobs Bag

Bag by Marc Jacobs
If you have any other questions regarding her outfit, I'll ask her :)

Danielle knows that I'm a bag-a-holic and so when she got this new MBMJ bag she texted me first thing and refused to send me a photo since she wanted to surprise me (and make me jealous) in person. I'm not a big MBMJ fan but this bag is pretty damn delicious in person. It's exterior is smooth pebbled leather, brown leather trim, and the interior is canvas.

I couldn't find this bag online but she got it at the MBMJ boutique however I did find something similiar..

Rebecca Minkoff Spring/Summer 2011

Stumbled across this beautiful video filmed by Rebecca's husband behind the scenes of her Spring and Summer 2011 Runway Show during New York Fashion week. I've chosen Rebecca Minkoff as the designer/brand that I will be designing for my Brand Portfolio class. So stay tuned for blog posts of my work/project/portfolio during the next 9 weeks.

Chloe Moretz's Miu Miu Bow

(Just Jared)

Not sure who this young girl is exactly but her Miu Miu Bow Satchel is to die for. The Miu Miu Bow is one of the most conveted Miu Miu handbag styles and it's been making a come back every single season in different colors. I am assuming this is from the latest due to it's bright pink coral-y color that makes me want to be in love so that I could possibly receive this on the 14th!

In fact, I think I will be taking my Alluminio Miu Miu Bow out on Valentine's Day when sis and I go out to dinner! Yes!

Marco Tagliaferri Bag.

I've been searching for the perfect black bag and a CHANEL or a HERMES is way too far out of my reach as of now however, this baby is perfect.

Rebecca Minkoff NYC Sample Sale 2o1o!

It's that time of the year again! Where all Minkettes mingle and go madness over the tons of bags all in one place and how we wish we all had a money tree growing out of our back yards!



I've been a good girl and beeing on hiatus with The Purse Forum however I love to stay in touch with Rebecca and her blogs over at "Minkette.com" so check it out!

I can't wait until the LA Sample Sale.. I promised myself I wouldn't buy any bags at retail so sample sales are acceptable ;)

Here's the bag I REALLY want at the moment.

Coach Krystal.

Coach was my first designer handbag love. My first handbag was this beautiful all white hobo with beautiful shiny gold hardware which I have now handed down to my sister. (I will take a photo and post it when I get time!)

That was in the 8th.. or 9th grade so it's been about 5 years now. Since then and studying my Vogue magazines and discovering my love for the high end fashion brands I've managed to love Miu Miu (my first), Rebecca Minkoff (my obsession), Chanel (my dream), and Balenciaga (my other dream).

Well, I came across the Spanish Moss blog and while browsing through their entries I came across this beautiful photo of this fringey bag!

It's the KRYSTAL’S FRINGE SHOULDER BAG retailing for $498. You can order it now here. My eyes immediately spotted the signature Coach keychain and was in shock. I think an old flame just got relight!

Lady Gaga's Studded Birkin.

I'm so sure that she probably had that custom made.

Ugh. F*cking gorgeous. Yes, it's that extravagant I had to use the F word.

Rebecca Minkoff for Momoberry bka Hello Kitty.

I came across this article on The Purse Blog while cleaning out my email and decided I'd share with you! My favorite handbag designer Rebecca Minkoff did a collaboration with Momoberry back in 2007, way before she hit the jackpot. I don't think I missed out on much but if I were to choose one of these bags aside from the must have little pouch, I'd pick the black one. Which seems to be like a stonewash leather???

Isn't this pouch cute?! It's a must have for Hello Kitty & Rebecca Minkoff lovers!

Coo coo for Alexander Wang's Coco Duffel.

After graduating high school & before I began at FIDM, I told my parents and most importantly, told myself, that all of my tuition at FIDM would be covered by me. I wanted to do it as a self accomplishment and to feel that feeling of actually "growing up". Due to this, recently I've been having to pay off some loans for school, resulting in my handbag collection to minimize. I've sold about 5+ of my Rebecca Minkoff handbags and though it hurts to see that I had to give up some of the rarest bags out there, I just told myself that I wasn't using them and I had to do what was best, for the bags and myself. Most of the bags are likely to be with members of The Purse Forum so they are being well carried and loved.

I've also been taking time off from visiting The Purse Forum (TPF) everyday. I slowly drifted away from my laptop and most TPFers would know that less visits to the forum helps with the temptations of wanting to BUY.

Until one day, I spotted this handbag on a model, on a fashion blog,

I was instantly mesmorized and immediately began Google-ing the bag.

ALEXANDER WANG
Coco Duffel w/ Brass Studs
$850

Here we have Mary-Kate Olsen toting the bag around. Celebrities such as Kritin Cavallari, Ashley Tisdale, and Rihanna also own one.

Studs, embellishments and sequins don't normally catch my attention and even with all of these being some of the recent trends, I still haven't seem to follow but this bag, WOW, it took my breathe away. I found the thread on The Purse Forum and stalked boutiques for it and finally got lucky and found one!

I told myself this was going to be my birthday and Christmas present to myself and so far, this bag is still satisfying my handbag hunger so goodness for that!

I guess I under estimated the wonders of studs. The over use of these stud foots that Alexander Wang created is not only an amazing piece of art but great for a bag because a handbag finishes an outfit and this bag does that exactly. You can pretty much carry it dressed up or down!

Since then I have been following AW and his recent collection has me speechless. Why didn't I ever notice him before, this boy is a genius!

Spring/Summer 2010

Combo Dress

Does the pattern on the top look like Scrabble or is it just me?

Safari Double Breasted Dress with Wrap Belt
$765

BUY IT!

I love this one. I watched the entire collection and AW said he was inspired by uniforms that he wore back when he went to school in China. Many of the pieces from the collection consisted of very neutral colors like beige, tan, orange, and red.

& last but not least,

Antik Denim Leather Donna Hobo
$820

BUY IT!

AW is the ONLY designer who I found to love zippers being done on a handbag!
