D&G Spring Summer 2008

This hot number is from the SS08 D&G show. nice huh? I love that it is inspired by a brick wall.

Polyvore Addiction

Oh my god i have just discovered POLYVORE, i stumbled upon this strange yellow object assemblage and wondered what the hell it was! I'm still not really sure but you seem to be able to drag and drop your own images from thousands of web images to a lightbox area and create your own collages in a matter of minutes. The yellow one above seems to be one that someone had created earlier.

So here is my attempt at a RED BAG POLYVORE.


You seriously have to go there and make your own, its loads of fun. http://www.polyvore.com

Chloe Snake Skin Clutch

This clutch is by Chloe believe it or not. What do you think? i wonder how you open it to put things in? and i suppose you can only carry around slices of cheese and bus tickets in it.

Stella McCartney and LeSportsac

Stella McCartney has teamed up with LeSportsac to create a range of bags that have a distinct baby-ish feel possibly influenced by her own motherhood experience. Theres loads of different styles and shapes and in true LeSportsac style, the shapes are very commerical. However, I always ask the same question when it comes to mummy bags - why do they look so baby-ish when its normally a grown mum or dad carrying it?


Cute that is comes with a matching soft toy and hats off to the orange / slate colourway which is a little less babyish but still merchandises well with the prints.


Despite the ridiculously low cost body fabric used in LeSportsac, the bags actually seem pretty resiliant, so i imagine they are making their customers happy as well as making a killer margin.

Giant Button Wallet

I couldn't resist putting this pic up, how cute it this wallet!

Magazine Clutch Bag

I snapped this magazine clutch bag at Fenwicks on Bond Street, i'd never seen anything like it before. Its a hardshell with a magazine printed on it and a leather strap with magnetic closure. Very vintage and kitsch but in a good way i think.


From my little bit of research i just did on the internet it looks like these are quite little collectors items, so all those vintage freaks out there looking for one, get yourselves down to femwicks, sorry i didn't catch how much they were.

Guitar Bag

I'm not sure whether this bag is wonderful or just plain wierd. I think when a bag tries too hard to look like a musical instrument you can start worrying.

Alexander McQueen Skull Clutch

Check out this McQueen skull clasp clutch bag -very Damian Hirst! I took this photo in Selfridges last week. I think the silver skull works better than the gold one, but generally this little clutch is very drool-worthy.

A must-have for every bad girl.

The eyes and teeth are made from Swarovski crystals, personally i think they should be real diamonds, but i guess sometimes concessions need to be made for commerciality, at a breezy £465, you could get both the black and the silver!

Diesel Wallet Purse Clutch type thing

I can't work out whether this Diesel number is a wallet, purse, clutch or what. I suppose it is a hybrid construction that seems to work really well as an oversized wallet, but you can also fit a phone inside and because of its soft folding construction it is pretty versatile.


Apparently you can pick them up in the states for a good price, but i've never seen one in the shops in london.

Matthew Williamson bags at the Design Museum

It was worth the trek to the Design Museum to see these gorgeous bags by Matthew Williamson. The exhibition is extremely well curated and despite the fashion frock angle there were even bags to look at for me.


These beaded beauties go perfectly with his outfits. They are like little treasures in themselves and really give meaning to word 'accessory' when describing bags.


The colours of the stones go so well together, it sort of reminds me of peaking in your mum's jewellery box when you were a little kid.


If i were to take this one out with me for the night i would fill it with pound coins and prance around town with my clinking little sack. You have to go to the Design Museum and check them out for yourself, you will not be disappointed.


Its a contentious one, but i think its great that his designs have been made accessible through his collaboration with Designers at Debenhams. I really believe that the intention and spirit of Williamson's design has not been lost in translation.
