ACCESSORIES SS 2015 RTW

 Valentino Spring 2015 RTW

Chanel Spring 2015 RTW

Louis Vuitton Spring 2015 RTW

These are my latest accessory faves from the runway this SS 2015 season. Flats has made it's residential place in every girls closet and it would only makes sense that we see more fabulous flats on the runway. From Valentino to Chanel it's been and will be a "flat-full" season to come.

The moment I saw these Louis Vuitton crocodile bags I thought, "Wow, simple and straight to the point." Perhaps I'm being biased since I adore exotic leather like every women alive and the colors white and green happen to be the few colors I'm actually fond of. Or maybe its simplistic quality has struck a cord in my heart and I just can't stop thinking about it. Whatever it may be I'm on board with the new "it" bag! 

NUDIST

Nudist.

It's no surprise that I love a great pair of sandals, I mean I've only been lusting over so many pairs one after another on my blog. And it's no surprise that I love anything that screams minimalism. Two thin straps, one heel, and I call that one fabulous shoe! Since my birthday is only shy of one day, I decided to share a new edition that was pleasantly added to my shoe family this past weekend. Why not treat myself to a great pair of heels that will practically go with any outfit. From casual to dressy these are a perfect match.

Here are a few of Stuart Weitzman sandals in different texture and colors:

'Nudist' Sandal in Black Nappa
'Nudist' Sandal in Blue Suede 
'Nudist' Sandal in Black Patent Leather
'Nudist' Sandal in Pink Suede

MIU MIU CRUSH

Miu Miu Ankle Strap Band Sandal

SHOE CRUSH ALERT!!!

Oh my! These Miu Miu sandals has me weak in the knees.
Is it the vibrant blue? Or is it the triangular heel? You know what, it's ALL of the above! The unique style intrigues me. I'm all about the classic pieces and classic colors, but once in awhile jumping out of your usual comfort zone is necessary.

SUMMER SANDALS

Sandals.

Summer sandals, whether it's flats or heels become the most frequently used item as those summer months roll in. Finding the perfect pair could be crucial and finding ones that you could wear for many years to come is ideal. These Gucci babes happen to be just that. I've had this since I was 17 and it's still good as new. Now that, is what I call a good fashion investment.

WOOD SUEDE BUCKLE MULES

MULES, MULES, MULES!

The gigantic shoe craze at the moment is the (either fabulous or...NOT so fabulous) MULE! I've mentioned before that I was never a huge mule fan, but I've learned and grown to embrace the MULE (caps needed). I've seen fabulous mules that basically converted my way of thinking, and I've seen ones that made me want to grab the nearest trash bin. Maybe that's a tad harsh, but there's no time to be shy here.

With the topic of mules (visually EVERYWHERE), I've came to the conclusion that mules are fabulous. I actually have two pairs of Gucci mules that were purchased about 8 or 9 years ago (circa Tom Ford for Gucci) and granted I was a early teen and I've only worn them less than a handful of times. Believe it or not, but my first designer shoe happen to be these fabulous Gucci suede buckle mules. I can sense the eyebrow reaction from you, and yes I'll say it again. SUEDE BUCKLE MULES, and may I add WOOD shoes. My parents got these for me when we were in Las Vegas when I was 15 and these were not only my first designer shoes EVER, but they were my first pair of heels EVER. So a lot of "EVER" happening on that day, and I'm going to be honest I haven't been in love with them until this day. It's odd that a pair of shoes that were purchased almost a decade ago was under appreciated until now. Since these shoes are still alive and kicking, I decided to give a debut in a fabulous way.

MARK CROSS | KELLY

Oh Kelly! Why must that name be so graceful like the famously remembered classic beauty, Grace Kelly? Well, because every bag that embodies grace, class, and simplicity has been named after the one and only. Mark Cross, a brand that has been around for over a century has created a bag so fabulous in 2012 that it makes me weak in the knees. Very 50's, very structured, and very simple. Everything that I adore! I do love an occasional large bag (hardly), but a small and dainty bag does the job done and well may I add. Especially when the construction was thought out and carefully structured such as this box beauty. In a few posts back, I mentioned my love for a great bag with structure and this definitely makes the cut. I'll take one in every color please & thank you!

There's also a long strap to conveniently wear it on the go with no hands involved, worn in whichever way fancies you. Matchesfashion has a variety of colors and sizes to choose from, even the studded accents for a more modern flare. 

STRUCTURE

It's all about the structured bag. It embodies confidence, simplicity and formality. There's something that a structure bag has that tickles me, maybe it's the way that it can transform a look that a slouchy bag can't do. Maybe it's the geometric lines and construction that allows the bag to hold it's own, or maybe it's the simplistic quality that I always gravitate towards. Whatever it may be, it's one of my absolute favorite type of bags.

Here are some fabulous structured bags:
Stella McCartney  python effect shoulder bag (ON SALE!!)
Saint Laurent  'Betty' shoulder bag
Hermes Vintage crocodile leather shoulder bag
Sophie Hulme Mini envelope cross-body bag
Mark Cross Scottie satchel bag
Stella McCartney 'Beckett' Faux Nappa Shoulder Bag
Saint Laurent 'Lulu' shoulder bag
Saint Laurent 'Muse Two' tote bag

METAL HEAD GEAR

Metal head pieces, we've seen them on the runway and on style icons during fashion week. It's a statement that would turn heads in a good way. A definite accessory to play with for this season. 

THE ROW

The Row! Those two words say PLENTY! Not only am I a tremendous fan of the Olsen twins' line but I'm a an advocate of their simplistic construction and minimalistic details. The soft classic shoulder bag and backpack are my two favorite bags from their collection. From any leather to any color, I love them all! It's classic and simple, not to mention extremely chic. To me, it's the quintessential bag to have for now and for the future. It's a definite "it" bag! Now, the question is how am I going to scoop myself one. One of each of course!

LELE SADOUGHI

One of my current jewelry crushes is Lele Sadoughi's bold pieces. Known for starting J.Crew's jewelry line back in 2006, she decided to develop her own lifestyle brand (home decor and jewelry) in 2011. Her inspiration for her collections has varied from celestial galaxy to Egyptian deco.

The first time I laid eyes on her jewelry, it was love at first sight. I actually mouthed the word, "Wow!" I respond to her pieces with great appreciation and love for her designs. The shapes, colors, and its extraordinary quality sets her pieces apart from the other jewelry designers. For those who were fans of J.Crew's jewelry line back then, will fall head over heels over her collection now.

Four of my favorite bracelets from her collection (above) manage to linger in my mind day after day, it's absolutely divine. The shapes, texture, and color of these bad boys compliment each other and it works. With the right pairings you could rock these individually or stack them up as much as you want. Get ready to mark these down on your wish list.

SSSSS...SNAKE SKIN CLUTCH

How fabulous is this clutch? 

The color, pattern, and unique quality intrigues me. The orange pattern draws you in with its voodoo powers and in a weird way, I'm absolutely under its spell. And of course a great snake skin just adds a cherry on top of an already amazing clutch. I love a great box bag (older post on favorite boxes) because of its utility and size. And this clutch is definitely among those that I'm extremely fond of.

NEW TALENT - SAVAS MILANO BY RASMUS RINGBERG

Ph: Savas Milano & their Facebook page

I came across this new bag line yesterday and I was intrigued. So I did some searching around and found that this line is created by Rasmus Ringberg, a young Swedish designer. He launched his first collection for FW 13/14 & everything is made in Italy with high-quality leather (calf or crocodile).

The first of his bags that I saw was the first photo, (her name is Caroline) and I HAD to find out who designed this bag. It's unique and as you can tell it reminds you of a shopping basket. Well, a very expensive shopping basket that is with gold and leather. I kind of have a love for this bag in the most unique way possible. The zippers on top of the bag, gives it a secured way to carry it, but what really caught my eye was the gold deer (genius!). Overall, it has a chic quality about it that makes it work because if you think about it, it's a shopping basket!

The rest of his collection has that simplistic quality that I'm extremely fond of. The shapes and structure of each bag leaves me wanting a few. As much as Caroline intrigues me, I would have to put her aside for a few of his other bags and put them on my wishlist (Filippa, Anna-Karin, & Alfred). My "deer" babies are simply perfect!
