Mini Me Bags

Every so often you see a women carrying a gorgeous bag. She's right in front of you, paying for her coffee when she pull out her wallet. The wallet is a miniature version of her gorgeous bag. I could just die and go to fashion heaven. I love when signature bags have it's perfect pair with the same details and in the same color.





Chloe Paddington: Handbag,
Wallet
The Chloe Paddington is such a unique bag and now it comes with a unique wallet. The mini lock is just too cute.


Marc by Marc Jacobs Posh Turnlock:
Wallet, Handbag
Sometimes a happy yellow handbag needs a happy yellow companion.


Balenciaga Arena:
Handbag, Wallet
Of course the bag I constantly lust for has a complementary wallet in several styles actually. I kinda wish there are more tassles on the wallet, just to make it totally Balenciaga. And maybe not in burnt orange.


Prada Tessuto Pietre:
Wallet, Tote
The handbag/wallet combo of choice for classy women with lots money to blow.



Miu Miu Matellasse:
Tote, Clutch
I can totally see someone using the tote for work and then taking out the clutch for cocktails. Whether at work or at a bar, the Matellasse will certainly garner some jealous stares.

Actually almost all of these bags are in the $1,000 range, so for us poor people the wallet may be a cheaper way of owning a iconic bag.

DIY- Painted Dress


This season is all about florals and wearable art. I have ooohed and aaahed over the Chloe Brushstroke Dress and Fendi's Circles Dress. If you have the money, then go ahead and click here for lovely artsy clothes. But for me, I'll have to go the DIY way- buy some white cotton tops or dresses, and whip out the old paint brush. Thankfully, there's a very cute guide provided Teen Vogue on how to make your own.


Designer Wu painted this cute cocktail dress as an example. I think I would want to do a Pollock inspire piece and splatter paint all over. If I don't do any sewing, I think this project is not too difficult. However I do worry about washing a hand painted item. I don't want my other clothes to get dyed the same color! None the less, I'm super excited about this DIY project and will hopefully get to it by May (at least before spring is over).
