Fab Mini M.A.C

Chanel, Gucci and Hermes are a few fashion houses that have earned their arm candies the It-bag status.  Now though, they seem to be taking a break while other American designers reign the runway with their eye-popping borsettas. As much as I want to compliment Marc Jacobs, I have to ignore for I wish not to steal the limelight from Rebecca Minkoff whose dazzling bag I’m going to torch on for this post. 

You might have stolen hearts with your Chanel signature lamb-skin bag, but maybe it’s time for a fresh new departure with a little more oomph. And I suggest Rebecca Minkoff’s Mini M.A.C Wondering what M.A.C stands for? Well it’s Morning After Clutch. Even though the bag has been ruling the market for nearly 3 years, little did it run out of fame. 

Some fret over the limited space the clutch has, while I consider it’s ideal to stash your must-haves in. The style-booster also comes with an adjustable chain which allows you to wear it cross-body, which, I reckon to be the best way of wearing it. 

Genuine leather without a doubt and is light! 

Worried about the colour choices? Don’t be,  it ranges from bold summer colours to the chic-pastels. 
Best finish to your color-block outfit I should say!

Wearing a humble price tag of 600MYR for the usual leather and 900MYR+ for bubble lamb leather, this affordable arm candy can compliment your street style and party outfit better than any other . 

What else? Get grabby now!

Bold-Bright-Burberry

I'm not sure how many would risk a hole in their pocket, but for drooling and swooning purposes, Burberry Prorsum Spring 2013 is definitely a collection to be taken seriously. The fashion house seems to have achieved 'roaring success' during the London Fashion Week, therefore, missing the runway show is such a loss. Yet with Youtube, fashion eyes are all pleased and soothed.

Glitzy, metallic , Jewel-tone, that's how Glamour puts it in short. And the highlight being?

Trench coat with an oomph.

OOooOOoooo

Maybe you don't speak 'Burberry', but the label did let their camel trench coats speak for them years long. This time, Christopher Bailey the fashion maven puts into action a make-over to the classic piece, marveled the London crowd by sending his lean  femme fatale models in an explosion of rainbow-metallic trench coat parade and froze everyone in a futuristic-retro land ( not sure what that means =p).

The colour-blocking trend on the other hand, drove many breathless.
A critical show I should say. Inhaler anyone?

AND here comes the bags!

It's about time you screw your Furla Candy bags, they are out of 'shine' ladies. Burberry's jewel-toned handbags are all set to steal the limelight and who knows, your heart too (did I miss 'money' ?).

Now tell me, Furla or Burberry??

Not the most wearable collection I agree (excluding the bags), however, man, they're effing cool!!!

Bag-Saver

It's never easy to get a thing from our handbags isn't it? Be it the keys or a small pen, we often have to fumble our way into all corners of our bag just to reach it, and at a few unfortunate circumstances, we have no choice but to make the poor thing barf in public only to extract the needed content. However, if it is a bowling bag that we are talking about, by all means let's dismiss it at this, but what if it's a large tote?? Hell will indeed break loose!

If this is worse, you haven't seen mine yet =p

Getting to the cause of this whole scenario, we certainly have to blame it on how disorganized some of us are. Things are simply thrown or chucked into bags with zero organization. Guilty!

Can you recall the last time you took an effort to arrange your keys and stationaries? If it's a 'Yes' then Congrats, you are one in a million indeed! But if 'No' speaks the ugly truth of yours, someone is waiting to assist you out of the mess.

An upcoming Malaysian bag-label Gin & Jacqie, has designed a multi-pocketed helper or better known as a bag-organizer to torch you towards better fumble-free days. The organizer is basically a detached insert piece with 11 pockets tailored to fit different essential items from keys to your handphone, which is then placed in the bag you intend to use. Mirroring the functions and features of a pencil case, this organizer besides saving us our precious time, provides a hassle-free handbag switch we all ever dreamt of. 

Hence, considering the benefits mentioned, while planning for a grand investment on an arm candy, do allocate a humble 40-60 MYR for this cute little denier-friend. 

Handy indeed!
