MEN AND THEIR BAGS



The intriguing topic of men and the bags that they SHOULD be carrying. 
When you hear bags, most people tend to think of women and their purses, but not men and their bags. Why is that?
It's true, men do carry bags but it's not a worldwide topic that people want to discuss. It's an element that many don't put an emphasis on. 
Maybe they're ashamed and don't want to portray themselves as too feminine? 
Maybe they're just SO into their bags that they don't want other men to know about which chic bag that they're carrying? 
It's intriguing...I KNOW! 

I understand that men have their universal wallets to carry their ID, cash, credit cards, and possibly other unmentionable possessions. I also understand that there are briefcases and backpacks that men carry to hold their things for the day. But what about the chic bags that so many designers have produced for these fabulous men to carry? Why are these guys hiding their fabulous bags? 

Men (straight, gay or both) need to carry more of their bags, it's useful and it's chic. I know some men don't care nor do they know what chic entails but it's something to think about. It adds something to that sleek suit you're wearing or it adds an extra grunge element to your already great grunge look that you got going on for that day. 

So my point is, it depends on how you want to portray yourself fellas. Don't have this preconceived notion and write it off so quickly that a bag is a feminine element of a man's outfit. You can make it whatever you want to be! Just make sure you rock it like there's no tomorrow! 


Here are some bags to test out...

VANESSA HUDGENS | BROCADE SUIT


Vanessa Hudgens created a huge buzz in London with her statement suit. She wore Moschino Fall 2013 brocade suit, Givenchy Nightingale bag (here), Joe's Jeans Ollie pumps (similar & similar) and paired it with a Nashelle necklace.

There's nothing more classic and classy than a well tailored pant suit. You can dress it up or down with the right styling and accessories to make it your own. From day to night, it's a great way to look chic.

PERSONAL PICKS - DAY TO NIGHT

Today's personal pick reminds me of a great shopping day outfit. A white A-line skirt, crop bra top, Prada tote & all the right accessories to compliment an already amazing look. The color combination goes so well together & this to me is a perfect day outfit with the coat and easily transformed to night with the a leather biker jacket and Saint Laurent clutch. (Tadaaa...) Just like that you're a different woman with a different agenda.

DIANE KRUGER EMBEZZLED CROP

Diane Kruger in NYC

How fabulous is Diane's look? Day style that is styled to perfection.
 Kruger wearing a Chloe embezzled crop top, Chanel Diamante jelly sandals, Current/Elliot skinny jeans, and a Balmain Pierre suede bag (here carried by Miranda Kerr). 

Dare to bare for summer? I say yes! 
It's extremely hot lately and the last thing anyone would dream of is to be covered up. The only appropriate thing to do is to show off that midriff you've been hiding this past winter. I mean it's only just one of the recent trends of Resort 2014. Even Calvin Klein and Barbra Bui (to name a few) are encouraging it with their "dare to bare" number in their collection. 
So I say, why not?

The new face of Mulberry is the one and only, Cara Delevingne. Gracing the new Autumn/Winter 2013-14 campaign with various stuffed owls & Mulberry's new Willow tote to go with the woodland theme.

The coats and cape are to DIE for! The solid colors and minimalistic quality screams sophistication. Perfect.

SAINT LAURENT CRUISE 2014














Saint Laurent Cruise 2014 Lookbook 

Oh Hedi! I'm just obsessing all over again, I keep falling in love with Hedi Silmane's designs. Everyone knows by now that Silmane has given Saint Laruent a new makeover, an edgier rock n' roll feel that everyone has been crazy about. Every detail in each jacket alone has revealed a message (yes, a message) that "I have arrived and I just don't give a f***" attitude. Yet, with the right styling and pairing they could have a completely different message. They're impeccably made with a rock star quality. Every single stitch and every single metal detail tells you a story of who this woman is when she wears his clothes. Maybe it's Kate Moss, maybe it's Erin Wasson, or maybe it's you! So I say it's time to write your own story.

Now, on to rest...I adore everything! The see-through tops, pants, shorts, dresses, and of course the bags. The YSL tassel bag has caught my eye for some time now and I'm in love. It's no surprise that I like a minimal simplistic look and with my bags I feel the exact same way. To me, when you wear a bag like that you're telling everyone that you know exactly what you want and you're going to be direct & to the point about it (she ain't messin' around).

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!
