    you scare me - you always seem to know what i'm searching for or what i'm currently into. i'm digging that miu miu bag.

    and i'm jealous of your size 11 feet. why? cuz that means you're prolly TALL. ;)

    That miu miu bag is lush! I did manage to pick up a Luella bowling style one at an outlet though, so practical.

    I honestly don't get this bag fashion. So they are spacy but aren't they a bit hard to carry in everyday use? Well, what wouldn't a woman do for her looks. I admit I use a backbag myself (a stylish one) but at special occasions I naturally have something more feminine.

    I saw the photos of Jessica Alba in those D&G suits on Coco's Tea Party, I admire her guts to break out of the standard 'slinky, backless dress' red carpet formula, but I don't think she quite pulled it off.

    My first proper handbag was a bowling bag - bright pink fake leather - ah, to be 12 again! The Miu Miu and Prada offerings are my favourite.

    I actually saw someone wearing bowling shoes in the subway last night [real ones, wtf] and remembered the trend and hoped it wasn't coming back. I don't mind the bags, but if the shoes come back in style, I'm just going to lock myself in a closet until they go away again. I can't handle it again.

    I remember the bowling bag trend of the late 90s. I was all over it - until I realized that most of those styles can't be slung on the shoulder - I need a longer strap!

    I have to say I'm not a fan of the 'bowling bag' I find them ugly. But that being said the Prada one isn't the bad ;) I mean if someone offered it to me I wouldn't turn it down! xx

    Dearest CC,

    The Lanvin, Miu Miu, and Prada are absolutely STUNNING.

    Though I must add you missed one very perfect trophy bag: The oversized YSL Muse!!

    I myself am lusting one of those as well... so clean yet beautiful.

    Hope all is well, CC :-)

    bowling bags have never been my thing. but i love the lanvin one (mostly because it doesn't really look like a bowling bag) and the miu miu large bowler. the bottega veneta one is cool too.
