The Stylish Yet Comfy Mom On-the-Go
Ok everybody, get ready for my next round of polyvore picks! It’s been on the back-burner for a little while but once again I’ve discovered the “wonderful-ness” of this website. If you haven’t already checked it out, it is a MUST(www.polyvore.com)!
So here is my outfit…I have to say that while I was creating it I was thinking of Megan, here in the office who is about 7 months pregnant. The only thing that I’m missing here is a stroller! I can see her sporting this look while out at the farmer’s market or running errands around town.
The best part of this outfit (besides the “I Heart My Hood” sweatshirt www.forever21.com) is the Timi and Leslie Patent Ruby Diaper Tote. This multi-functional bag has multiple straps for optimal ease and even includes stroller straps! Currently it’s on sale for $139.99 and is available in ruby red, cream and chocolate.

An Ode To MJ
Don’t worry, I haven’t taken a lesson from Jermaine Jackson, and I am not racketeering some attention for myself using the death of the late great Michael Jackson, but am referring to the other great MJ. You know the handsome gay one, whose talent and skill are more profound than any other designer, and whose handbags will leave your wallet a little bare. Ah, yes that’s the one… Marc Jacobs. It’s no surprise that Marc had an exceptionally successful preview during fashion week and being that he is my absolute “FAVE” designer I had to pay tribute to his one of a kind designs and give all of you handbag connoisseurs the chance to take a peak at these beauties. Oh and if you end up falling in love with MJ as much as I am, but don’t want your wallet to lose any weight, than please continue to read on and check out the runway to real life bags that I’ve pulled.
Call me crazy, but I look at these bags and feel like singing some good ol’ Etta James. If love came in the form of a handbag this would be it! The color story for the entire collection is very soft-muted pastels with some great fashion reds, blues and metallics. The feel of the line is much less rock ‘n roll than previous seasons and I like it! I love me some studs and rock ‘n roll hardware, but this soft feminine change with great textures is blowing my mind. Mixed media such as soft metallics and vachetta leather trim with chain hardware is just superb. Or how about the different textures! Hints of snakeskin can be found in the lattice leather. I love when designers play up their bags not by adding too much hardware, but by playing with the natural quality of the leather and pliability of it. Ruched leather, lattice leathers, and quilted leathers are just a few of the ways Marc managed to create this one of a kind spring 2010 line. Oh and I almost forgot- fringe! I was beginning to get over the whole fringe trend, in fact, I was editing it out of a certain designer’s line, I guess I’ll be rethinking that strategy. The fringe here is fabulous and gives great body and movement to each of the bags. My favorite bag – the over the shoulder fringed lattice leather hobo; to die for. I guess I better start saving my pennies now, but for those of you who want a more instant form of gratification check out these below bags and why we find them so close to the runway look. Get ahead of the game and get your spring 2010 bag now and for a great price!
M Missoni Jazz Large Shoulder Bag Canvas – color palette and texture
The fabulous blues, crèmes, champagnes, and whites that Marc presented on the runway are a definite color palette to carry for spring and our simple fix is the M Missoni Jazz Large Shoulder Bag Canvas. No, it’s not leather, but it’s still fabulous and the color combinations are simply amazing, I especially love the light blue that is worked in. Also, an important key to Marc’s line was texture! Your spring bag doesn’t need to be lattice leather in order to be on trend, it just needs the proper texture and this wonderful canvas will do just the trick.
Betsey Johnson Whips and Studs E/W Tote - color palette, tassels, quilting, and leather and chain woven shoulder strap
This sexy, sophisticated, and glitzy bag is definitely a must have for spring. Notice the use of leather woven in with the chain handle, the soft grey colors, and the tassels- they just scream MJ! I absolutely love the hint of quilting around the bottom of the bag. And of course, very Betsy Johnson-esque, the bag includes hints of rock ‘n roll with the studding, just incase you’re not all that ready yet to walk away from this fabulous trend.
MICHAEL Michael Kors Astor Grommet Large N/S Tote – color palette, grommets, and tassels
This MICHAEL bag is very reminiscent of the grommet-covered bags that Marc presented on Monday. I have to say that in this instance less is more; less grommets gives a more classic look. So if you love the grommet-covered bags that were presented this fashion week then you’ll die for this bag. The cognac color-way is absolutely beautiful and fits right in with the MJ woven leather half flap. And of course tassels! Again I say, less is more, and I think this MICHAEL bag combines the perfect about of grommets and tassels. Love this bag!
