Givenchy's Birds of Paradise bag

Another bag I really love right now is the Birds of Paradise bag by Givenchy. I think it is a real piece of art and a showstopper, all rolled into one gorgeous bag.

I would love to get this, but I am afraid it is slightly out of my pricerange at the moment.

Cool, cartoonlike bag from JumpFromPaper

Thanks to Florrie, I just discovered this new, awesome brand for bags: JumpFromPaper. They design bags that look cartoonlike, and while that may sound weird, the result is just amazing! Just look at this Bonjour! bag, for instance to get a better feel for the brand:

The Bonjour! bag is not the only cool one made by this brand, however. Take a look at these bags too:

You can get them all over at JumpFromPaper.

A tip for those who want a pastel bag for spring

As many of you may know, pastel colors, such as mint green, pastel pink and pastel blue, are a huge trend for the coming spring. So I would imagine many of you are looking for a cool, pastel colored bag for spring, and if you are, here is a great option for you:
It's the Executive Chic bag over at Modcloth. I personally love the color and the details too. It's a mere $69.99 and has gotten very nice reviews as well.

Some more cute heart shaped bags

Liked I mentioned in my previous post about heart shaped bags, I really like this shape on a bag, which is why I was really happy to run into these 3 very cute heartshaped bags over at House of Fraser:


The pink one is my personal favorite but the denim one is really cool too, and I am thinking the white one would make a great bag for a bride, actually!

My newest bag

I have been a huge fan of Lulu Guinness and especially of her bags for years now. So whenever I run into a good deal for a Lulu Guinness bag, I simply must get it! I have been wanting to get this envelope bag by Lulu Guinness for a while now, and today I saw it on Ebay for a great price (even though this particular style came out several years ago, if I am not mistaken), so I got it of course. (It is supposed to be new with tags)
I looking forward to this arriving so much! It kind of reminds me of the famous YSL envelope clutch (that I also love, but Lulu's envelope actually came out first!).

Another great piece from Alexander Wang

This is the Diego bucket bag. I love the color as well as the cute studs at the bottom, they are a great detail too!


The bag is available over at Net-a-Porter right now!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

I just wanted to wish everyone a happy Valentine's Day, since I love this holiday. I don't think love can be celebrated enough, which is why I think every girl should have at least one heart shaped bag, to use on both Valentine's Day and on other days you see fit. Some cute ones I have seen lately are these:

I have three heart shaped bags myself, but I would not mind adding some more to my collection when given the chance. I think it is such a charming and classic shape, after all!
