Balenciaga Brilliant Pouchette Bague

Is there another brand cooler than Balenciaga? (Balmain is close behind but Christopher Decarnin has yet to prove he’s worthy of the outrageous prices and that he’s more than a one season wonder!). The Brilliant Pouchette Bague Black Lizard showcases everything I love about Balenciaga under Nicholas Ghesquiere– he pushes the envelope yet manages to retain the essence of the brand. The two gusset flap front with studded hardware is edgy urban but in classic lizard– it remains tasteful. I can just picture Carine Roitfeld with this, she eschews large bags and prefers little clutches. This one is kind of an odd size at 6″ x 6.5″ x 1.5″ but that’s part of its charm! The squareness has a vintage-y retro feel to it that I love. $2,675.00 at Barneys New York.Tell me, do you love Balenciaga, too?

I love the swagger of stylish, hip girls in their 20′s. They exude a carefree independence that boosts their confidence. And for the exceptional few, these girls use moderate luxury bags like Kooba and make them look like a million bucks. And with good reason, Kooba knows how to compliment this girl with bags that are just as carefree and independent as their spirit. This hobo with the giant loose bow (it’s more of a knot but has that bow feel) is not so polished and serious and allows a lot of room for personal character. There is no need to spend a ton of money when you’ve got it all going on! Easy for everyday with the thick comfy strap and wide gusset for a roomy interior. This lilac is soft and pretty but it also comes in white which is just as fabulous. At Kooba for $575.
