Shimmering & Fab Dolce & Gabbana Miss Charlotte Shopper
| Dolce & Gabbana is a high-end fashion house started by the Italian designers Domenico Dolce, born near Palermo, Sicily, and Stefano Gabbana, born in Milan, Italy. Dolce & Gabbana are very popular for their designs in the Hollywood industry; they have designed clothes for Madonna, Monica Bellucci, Ayumi Hamasaki, Isabella Rossellini and Kylie Minogue amongst others. |
 |
| Recently the fashion house released a new collection for Fall – Winter 2010. If you remember, the trend of the runway shows of the season was understated style, but D&G decided not to follow the common concept and manufactures a handbag that is all for glamour and shimmering elegance. I am talking about Dolce & Gabbana Miss Charlotte Shopper handbag. |
 |
| The Miss Charlotte Shopper bag is like a beautiful rainbow in the blue sky, not that the blue isn’t beautiful, just that the rainbow really adds some more color and happy feel to the whole image. This is really a breathtaking bag at first sight, but once you get beyond its outward beauty you can appreciate it for its smart construction. It’s slightly slouchy, but still rigid enough to keep from looking sloppy. A hint of classic leopard print detail graces each side, while sturdy studded handles finish the look nicely. The handbag is made of dramatically textured buffalo and goatskin leathers with a gleaming metallic finish. Leopard inserts look excellent and add a spice to the bag turning it in a true wonder. I personally love the way studs trim the rolled handles and a chain drawstring gently cinches the top. These details make the handbag look rich, glam yet elegant and feminine. |
 |
| The Miss Charlotte Shopper features a magnetic-tab closure and an exterior magnetic-flap pocket. The inside part of the bag has an interior zip and wall pockets. The only unpleasant thing about this bag is the price. Miss Charlotte costs $ 2,745. |
Valentino Prefer Lace for Fall 2010
| Talking about the most popular and successful fashion trends for fall 2010, the best are fur and lace adornment and details. Of course, most fashion designers have released lace and fur bags, and Valentino handbags are not an exception. He launched a collection featuring exquisite lace. Let’s take a look at Valentino Day Lace Medium Duffle handbag. |
 |
| Valentino has perfected the art of feminine designs with a black floral vine lace over. I have absolutely no doubt that this Valentino bag, like all others, is of premium quality. Some find lace over leather to look a bit cheap. They compare it to vinyl. I personally cannot understand that point of view. Lace is exquisite, gentle, feminine and elegant. It cannot look rough and plain. |
 |
| The Valentino Day Lace Medium Duffle handbag features double top handles with a 6 inch drop, at the top there is a zipper closure. It is quite roomy with dimension of 13 inch wide, 9½ inch high and 7 inch deep. If we look inside the bag we will see two interior zip pockets for everyday stuff. Besides, it has polysatin lining of black color.
If you asked me to describe the The Valentino Day Lace Medium Duffle handbag, I would say that it is feminine, elegant and gentle thanks to floral inspired lace that covers leather. |
 |
| The only thing that I do not like about this bag is its shape. It reminds me about trends of 1990s when all my friends had such bags. Well, I know that fashion returned, but in this case it is a con. You might not agree with me, and you will be right too. The last thing to mention is the price. This Day Lace Medium Duffle handbag from Valentino is available at $ 935,00. Is the bag worth the price? |
Silvia Leather Studded Hobo from Jimmy Choo
| When a fashion designer presents a new collection, there is always an item that drives public’s attention and turns into the most beloved and popular piece in the whole collection. As far as the latest handbag collection launched by Jimmy Choo is concerned, there is also a handbag that is going to be a must have of the season. |
 |
| Let me present you Jimmy Choo’s Silvia Leather Studded Hobo. The bag has a dipped center that makes this hobo easy to tote. The Silvia leather hobo is very roomy and it is fun to show off. Silvia is made of black grainy napa leather with golden hardware. Circle from dipper center is completed by tubular top handles. At the front and back parts there are triangle pleats. |
 |
| At the top of the hobo you can see a snap button closure; on both sides there are leather straps. And, of course, the hobo features a signature logo plate on dipper center. I personally love that bottom is protected from wear out thanks to metal feet. Now let’s look inside the bag. This roomy hobo has three internal pouch pockets, a zipped pocket and is fully lined in taupe suede. |
 |
| According to experts, Jimmy Choo’s Silvia Leather Studded Hobo is a piece of serious fashion hardware that will definitely punctuate your look. This fabulous oversized carryall can be toted with everything from workwear to weekend outfits. |
 |
| In the picture you can see the hobo paired with Christian Louboutin shoes, Matthew Williamson scarf, Vanessa Bruno Athé top, Philippe Audibert bracelet and Fendi shorts. To tell the truth, I would definitely buy this gorgeous wonder but there is one con – the price of the hobo. Silvia Leather Studded Hobo is priced at $1,495.00. That seems to much for me, but not for some fashion connoisseurs who might turn this hobo in a must have of Fall 2010. |
