So many pieces of Christian Louboutin’s extensive shoe collection could be described as requiring a shameless wearer that I’m honestly surprised it took the brand this long to name a pair just that. I’m also surprised that the pair that finally earned that name is as sedate as the Christian Louboutin Shameless Pumps.
They’re like the (in)famous Daffodils, but with a peep toe like the Highness and a thicker heel. If anything, I’d think that the original Daffodils would be more accurately → Read More
Happy Friday! Friday is PurseForum Roundup Day. Spring has sprung for many of us, and members are getting out and about with their bags. Balenciaga purchases were on the upswing this week, and we also stopped in to share the love in the Jewelry Box. A beauty haul from Fresh, a closet makeover and bright Chloé bag also help us close out the week!
We are definitely seeing some signs of spring across the forum this week. Balenciaga lovers are shopping up a storm in the March and April purchases thread, where we found some gorgeous Work bags, like Just Violet’s beautiful vert menthe and lilemor22′s sunny Mandarin. Be sure not to miss the cute clutches, too, like fluff’s envelope and telrunya’s pretty Rose Bonbon flat clutch. We are definitely in the shopping mood after spending some time in Balenciaga this week!
Over in Home and Garden, we found some folks anxiously awaiting the reveal of PurseForum member st.love’s new walk-in closet. Be sure to watch her thread to see how this project turns out. By the way, Mister st.love surprised us all by getting a jump on the closet shelving, and we can’t wait to see the big reveal! Closets are a very popular subject on the PurseForum – be sure to visit threads by megt10, rockerchic and Nahreen for some closet classics. (A quick search for “closet” in the thread title will get you off to a great start.) Have a ball; we sure did.
In the Jewelry Box, the thread dedicated to engagement rings holds a special place in our hearts. Whether it’s a surprise from a boyfriend-quickly-turned fiancé, a long-awaited, planned purchase or an upgrade marking a special milestone, our members have plenty of bling to share. Even more than the lovely stones on display, we especially enjoy members sharing the stories that accompany their beautiful photographs, like NY Village Girl getting her gorgeous dream set on her 5-year anniversary (pictured here), or CL shoes beautiful trio of diamondscommemorating her engagement and children. This thread is full of love and sparkle, be sure to stop in and share both!
We adore the Beauty Bar. There. We said it. We absolutely love to see what members are using, buying and trying. The Recent Beauty Purchases thread is our combination shopping list and wish list, so of course we check in often. Recently, Christian Louboutin shoes sale stocked up on one of our favorite brands and posted a lovely group shot of her Fresh purchases. Gfairenoughh shared a completely adorable gift from her grandparents which we will leave you to discover – it is absolutely as sweet as can be. Just this week, we added several things to our to-try list, includingthis. What will you discover in the Beauty Bar?
Over in the Chloé subform, the Family Photo thread looked busy this week. We found thatQueenLouis had shared a very pretty duo of Chloé bags, the Paraty in tempting Brown Sugar, and the cute little 60th Anniversary Paddingtun in Nut. Big and bold colors always have our heart, like Christian Louboutin shoes Paraty in a gorgeous vermillion-toned red, pictured above. Elsewhere in Chloé, Celebrity Sightings have been on the upswing, too. And remember, any Chloé knowledge you are lacking can be found in our Reference Library.
When people ask me my favorite handbag designer, I have a hard time answering the question. My favorites change often depending on the season, collection, and quality of the products. But unequivocally I can always say that Chanel is one of my favorite brands and each time I go to their showroom I am reminded why their name pops to the top of my mind when people ask. → Read More
Here’s (slight) baby bump-rockin’ Kim Kardashian in NYC doing a little press with her sister Kourtney. You’ll notice Kim is carrying an uber rare, extremely covetable, limited edition Hermes So Black Birkin! If you’re unfamiliar with the So Black Birkin, you’ll notice the bag has black hardware on black leather. I’ve given the Birkin a little flack this week (the word “overexposed” might’ve been used), but the So Black Birkin reminds me what the fuss is all about. → Read More
I’ve got a major crush on many of the upcoming Alexander McQueen bags, but this bag is not on that list. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t like this clutch – the shape is quite beautiful – but it’s not on my want-it-now list. When I first saw it, I couldn’t tell what the pattern was. Upon further inspection, the entire clutch is taken over by an outline of a dragonfly. → Read More
I’ve been planning to write The Many Bags of Hilary Duff for quite a long time, and you’ll see why in a moment. The one-time Disney wunderkind turned full-grown actress has a bag collection to rival almost any that we’ve explored in these parts before, and the diversity of brands that Duff has toted over the years is a reminder to all of us to try new things. As long as those new things are designer handbags. → Read More
If you’ve never considered participating in an auction, now might be the time to try. Even a traditional auction through a house like Heritage Auctions is often the source of amazing deals on rare, limited edition or hard-to-find bags, often because the majority of bag buyers either don’t know to look there or are intimidated by the mechanics of a non-eBay auction. Ultimately, that translates into a pretty good bargain on almost everything. → Read More
Tomorrow we will publish a full gallery for you with beautiful photos from the Chanel Métiers d’Art Collection 2012/2013 Paris-Edinbourg collection, but for now we wanted to present you with a teaser of the beauty to come.
Stay tuned!
Yesterday, Joan Rivers had to thwart throngs of adoring fans (or at least one very adoring fan) to make it to the set of Extra at The Grove in Los Angeles to promote her new live stand-up comedy DVD, Joan Rivers: Don’t Start With Me. You’ll see she’s packing her requisite fur coat (mink or sable, we suspect), and a stylish, black Chanel Cerf Tote. (Chanel bags are sold at Chanel boutiques and fine department stores nationwide – but never online, sadly, unless you’re shopping secondhand.) → Read More
