This week’s star is an exqusite 18Kt white gold ring capturing the beauty of a wave design with an array of pave set round green tsavorite garnets surrounding a row of white sparkling diamonds.
Green garnets?! Is there really such a thing? Indeed there is! In fact, several green varieties are known. A green garnet ring can be made from demantoid garnet or tsavorite garnet. With rich, vibrant color, a green garnet ring stands up very well to an emerald ring. Here are a few green garnet rings that could leave your friends green with envy. And this surely is one of them.
Help me out with this one, folks. The Donna Karan Sabre Shoulder Bag is reminding me a lot of Gucci handbags and I can’t quite figure out why.
Is it the shape? Gucci tends to make a lot of big, chunky shoulder bags. Or maybe the color? I’m not a big fan of tan, but Gucci’s tans have always held a special place in my heart – I think they get the amount of orange undertone just right. This one doesn’t seem quite the same, but it’s reminiscent, I think. Maybe it’s the “rustic” accents? There’s no Gucci-signature bamboo, but the claw-like (or tooth-like?) closure still reminds me of the kinds of things they like to do. So are you seeing what I’m seeing, or have I looked at so many handbags that they’re all starting to blur together in my mind?
Is it just me, or does the Fendi Rose Zucca Chef Bag look like it really wishes it was born a Louis Vuitton instead?
When you’re dealing with a design element as obvious as graphic roses layered over logo canvas, it’s hard not to draw parallels between this and the Stephen Sprouse collection that garnered so much attention last season for Vuitton. I wonder if Fendi’s accessories designers would even be able to keep a straight face while they were claiming that this isn’t a ripoff.
And it’s not even a halfway attractive ripoff. The Vuitton bags were successful because not only did they feature the art of a widely respected pop artist, but they were also visually quite interesting. The roses were robust and colorful, and they overshadowed the traditional monogram on which they sat.
The Fendi handbags, on the other hand, is just kind of sad. The roses are boring and small, and they do nothing to spruce up the zucca print fabric that we’re all used to seeing. Find your own gimmick, Fendi – Vuitton’s already got this one on lock.
Coach will be most of fashion girls’ second “dsigner” bag. Many people talk about how a Coach was their “start” bag, or how Coach introduced them to the world of designer bags. This Coach Bonnie Small Framed Purse remind why so many female always keep Coach close to their hearts. It’s so many things in such an adorable package.
First of all, it has the practicality, functionality, and great leather that are the hallmarks of Coach handbags, not to mention the signature turnlock closure. Second of all, it’s accessible. It’s a great going out bag for the girl next door who wants to stay casual and not be bogged down by something with beading or sequins. The framed closure top adds a hint of glam- a throwback to the little pouches carried by partygoers in the 20’s, big enough for just the necessities: lipstick, compact mirror, and a bit of money. While this Coach bags still has that aura, the modernity in the fuchsia or the gold leather colors (I think the gold one is better. And the fuchsia one is so pinky.) ensure that it’ll be just as perfect carrying your cell phone and car keys. Practical can look good.

The design of this tote bag is simple and practical, and I like the calm Prussian blue color.
This Square Classic bag of Balenciaga’s 09 Spring collection is low-keyed and modest, compared with other eye-catching bags of Balenciaga bags . There is nothing especially dazzling about this tote bag, but it is the simplicity and practicality that attract me, and the tassels save it from being boring, a good try.
At the time our Chinese people were celebrating the country’s 60th anniversary, Fendi handbags has also designed “Shanghai 2009 Limited Edition” Peekaboo Handbag for its Asian falgship store at Shanghai Plaza. The art director Silvia Fendi who has singlehandedly created this latest classic Peekaboo bag said, invented in a new simple way, its minimalist design reveals with pithy luxury sense. And due to its exquisite expensive inner material, it makes a strong contrast against the plain outside.
Let’s have a closer look for the details. Applied with soft gorgeous black suede as the surface, while the interior lining is using Chinese imperial red and valued Fendi golden beads interlaced with each other to form the classic Fendi FF logo, which produce a contrasting beauty between implicitness and floridiness. What’s more unique is the a-side-hanging-open all the time that others can see the bland interior easily but on condition that you have nothing too expensive inside. Either the quality or the appearance has successfully caught the balanced charm form both Chinese trend and Italian style.
Available at 29,800 RMB, this seires of Peekaboo handbags are limited to 20 pieces worldwide to prove its uniqueness. Besides, they also come with a limited edition B.FENDIPAVE, a ruby red genuine alligator strap to show the chic glamour of this whole series. Also available in Shanghai only.
