Handbag of the Month
Via lollieshopping:
Normally I take more time to decide on the Handbag of the Month. I mean, it is a very important decision, after all. However, when I received an email from Bergdorf Goodman advertising the Rose Vertigo Hobo by Valentino, I knew there was no other choice. Yes, the price tag is astounding, but so is the bag. I believe you get what you pay for. And if you can pay $2,395 for this gorgeous Valentino handbag, then you are getting a work of art you will appreciate your entire lifetime. I know I would.
While I’m featuring the red hobo style (it’s my favorite one) this stunning bag comes also as a tote, shopper, satchel and in various colors, such as black, taupe, blue, chocolate, gray and even hot pink. It’s pure love and pure genius.
Rose Vertigo Hobo by Valentino and sold at Bergdorf Goodman. $2,395.00.

Marvelous Motorcycle Inspired Dressing
Via our friends at thefind.com:
Explore your inner moto girl this fall with motorcycle inspired style. With all of the amazing leather jackets and leather vests, studded ankle booties and zippered Alexander Wang handbags there is plenty to choose from. Even if your style is more Upper East Side than Easy Rider I’m sure you’ll be tempted with these irresistible options.
Yes, you’ve been seeing all of the leather motorcycle jackets complete with requisite zippers, asymmetric zipper detailing, chrome studs and buckles. The ultimate daddy of all the biker jackets this season is the Balmain leather motorcycle jacket that is cut to a fitted silhouette with peaked shoulders, epaulets and chain swags.
In addition to the trendsetting Alexander Wang hip belt and McQueen stud textured resin cuff, other motorcycle inspired accessories include the chunky heel Juicy Couture motorcycle boot. This Juicy boot has just the right shape on the toe and the brass studded strapping completes the look. I’ve been wearing my traditional Hunter Wellies for years, but these limited edition Festival Hunter Wellies are giving me an urge to hop on this customized Chanel bike (used by Karl Lagerfeld in a recent photo shoot). I can imagine myself zooming down the Champs-Élysées on this motorcycle wearing the ultimate leather moto jacket from Balmain. Vroom vroom!
Get the look from upper right clockwise:
Hunter Festival Limited Edition lace-up Wellington boots $225 at Net-a-Porter
Alexander Wang Max Fanny Pack, $790 at Shopbop
Juicy Couture ‘Chief’ Bootie, $475 at Nordstrom.com
