Recycle the Red

A girl has to be practical. Especially if you have a day job. There are times you just don't have time to spare, and horrors, have no time to change bags.



As the pictures stylishly show, if you do have to recycle, the best choice is your red Hermes Birkin.

It's a Classic!

Your weight may fluctuate...

Your fashion sense may evolve...

Your hair may go from light to dark...

But a great classic bag, especially if it's a Hermes Birkin, stands the test of time and will keep you company for a long, long time.

More Hermes Odds and Ends

If money is no object, what would you buy? Apparently, some people buy Hermes gardening tools! The Spade, Trowel and Weeding Fork set with textile bag and cherry tree handles is "reasonably" priced at USD330.


What else can you buy from Hermes aside from the Twillys and Birkins?

More odds and ends after the jump...

Tea anyone? This Hermes teapot is good for two. USD375. Matching mugs and cups sold separately. After all, you may want to mix and match.

Having a quiet dinner with friends? Need to open a bottle of wine? Come prepared with this Hermes pocket leather corkscrew. USD405.


Feeling chilly? Cozy up with a Hermes wool and cashmere blanket in red. USD1175. Black also available.

Finally, do think twice about tapping your cigarette ash on this work of art:

Hermes ashtray USD500

Ok, enough daydreaming. Back to my memorandum drafting.

Hermes for Babies

Now, I admit that I am somewhat of a label whore. And yes, I can see myself clothing my future (distant, at that) babies in Baby Dior. Wait, a minute! The (distant)future mommy will need her bag love fix. So, maybe not Baby Dior.

Anyway, I was browsing through the Hermes website daydreaming when I stumbled upon this...

Hermes Baby Gifts!

Hermes Small Plush Horse USD490! Large size USD890

Whoa! That horse must have gold teeth. Hehehe.

Moving on, for the baby born with a Titanium Mastercard in her mouth, feed her using nothing but the best utensils like this Hermes Spoon and Fork Set in sterling silver for USD445.

And of course, we have these lambskin booties. Adorable. USD215. Good until 3 months.


I guess for that precious bundle of joy, some things may never be too much for some mommies. Hehehe! What do you think, Mrs. AAP?

Team Angelina or Team Jennifer? Let the Bags Decide.

Yes, I know this issue has been dissected to high heavens. However, as these two fashionable women have been carrying seriously gorgeous bags, I felt compelled to do a face off and ask you guys who rocked their bags better.

See pictures after the jump...

Jennifer at the Heathrow Airport with a Hermes Massai. Casual and classic.

Angelina with Maddox brings along her Botkier Sasha. Love the way the white pops against her all black outfit.

Jennifer with a Bottega Veneta bag while Angelina uses her Anya Hindmarch to hide her then pregnant belly.

In several pictures I've seen, Jennifer really loves this bag and has been seen carrying it around everywhere. Angelina favors big white bags with elegant details and this Anya is no exception.

Jennifer with a Dries Von Noten and Angelina with a Valentino (Zahara too!)

These girls really know how to take their casual outfits one notch higher with gorgeous bags.

So? Who do you think did it better?

Long Weekend - Off to the Mall

It's the long weekend and I am off to the mall for "research". Might try to catch the last day of the Rockwell Urban Bazaar and get some much needed rest before the work grind starts anew. In the meantime, can anyone help me identify the bag PGMA is wearing in China?




Hmm... upon further research, it's seems to be a Hermes Kelly but can't really say unless I can find a clearer picture or one where the bag is facing front. So what do you guys think?

How a Hermes Kelly is made

Saw this interesting article from the Daily Chronicle Show on how the Hermes Kelly is made. Check it out! It makes me lust for one even more.
