I am strangely drawn to the one with flowers and the skull clasp. I couldn't make out who made that bag.

Have a lovely weekend.

Cupcakes and Cashmere said...

i think i could handle a patterned bag in a really small size, especially that little white clutch towards the bottom!

Alison Purple said...

LOVE IT. The Matthew Williamson shoulder bags are to die for gorgeous. I am really craving a bag like this so much right now.

agnes said...

those bags from MArc Jacobs SS09 drive me crazy. definitely an eye-candy!

emsie said...

i really like the mixtures of colours in patterned bags.

bronwyn said...

Wow, I must say, loving all the patterns and variations. I'm the kind of person that 99% of the time goes for mono coloured bags, especially over the last couple of years. I'm thinking, after seeing this post that I should be more open minded, I especially love the Gherardini bag and the vintage beaded bag from Spanish Vogue....infact now that I think of it I have two vintage bags, one tapestry patterned and one beaded....I'm going to dig them out of retirement!!!

All those bags are just fantastic!

Seeker said...

Amazing bags!!!
And you picked such beautiful ones.
I would say Marc did it well, lets see how real style will do it.

Thank you so much lovely beautiful for your words about my health.
I'm much tiered, stressed and overwhelmed, so to prevent a breakdown I must slow a bit.
I think I'm not stopping blogging, I'm too addicted to it, but I would spend less time blogging, so visiting blogs will not be on a daily basis as I was doing.

Take care

xoxo

OMG. That Ghetto Blaster bag is the shizzle! I want it, though it's a tad expensive for a bag (well, it is, when you're a starving artist like me :P)

Thanks for the sweet comment! And glad you have a fellow fashionista friend on hand to help you! :) Blogger drove me CRAZY disorganizing my pictures without my consent, haha, and then it hit me that hello, there's HTML edit, which is what I use to put in my pictures. :D

Anyway, thanks, and I think your blog rocks too! :)

xoxo,

Marc's show really was all about prints. One trend that is bound to carry over from season to season I guess. Not too sure how I feel about it though. <3
