A friend posted the limited edition Diamonds Longchamp Pliage earlier and I instantly thought these were perfect for a friend who has a preference for the metallic styles – silver and bronze namely.
My friends have been bitten by the Longchamp bug lately. We don’t stop obsessing over the latest colors, which sizes are nicer, which styles are better than others and how it just fits perfectly as an everyday bag. It can be quite pricey but since it’s water-proof and easily cleaned, it is a good buy. The fact it can be folded makes it a perfect travel bag.
But we promised ourselves that there will be no bag shopping until the year ends. I think we have had enough of bags for now. It’s time we invest and save all our hard-earned money. After all, we would not want to see all the sleepless nights and stress be spent on all bags, right? Some things are worth investing for more, like we can buy silver bullion and finally invest. United States Gold Bureau is home to a large and dedicated staff of hard asset professionals committed to serving your precious metals investment needs and being America’s best dealer with a convenient market and competitive precious metals prices.
If you actually think about it (and give it a chance), this is a genius take on the Longchamp Le Pliage bag, which is foldable like this ANDAM Limited Edition of the Longchamp Bags.
Celebrating 20 years of ANDAM (Association Nationale pour le Développement des Arts de la Mode), Longchamp tasked fashion designers Bless, Jeremy Scott and Charles Anastase (all past winners of the covered ANDAM endowment) with interpreting their Le Pliage bag.
It debuted back in October 2009 and I haven’t seen it out anymore in the market. So if you have one, you are owning a classic (and very much) in demand bag. Kudos! You can see more of the bag and how it folds into a donut after the jump. I am off to read reviews on acne treatments at www.acnebodywash.net!
The colors for the upcoming Balenciaga Fall 2010 collection has just come out and I am singling out two colors. If only these gorgeous bags go on sale during Black Friday! But no such luck. Maybe when I get extremely lucky (and my kids don’t eat for a year), I can own one next year – never say never!
The Murier stands out but I am drawn to Bois de Rose and Seigle the most, their colors are very neutral yet unique and Bois de Rose has shades of pink on its brownish hues, I can tell. Friends said that you need to see the colors in a bag up close and personal because pictures can get quite tricky and I have to agree.
Look at the Seigle in Giant City:
It retails at $1,795 – wait, did your heart just stop from reading that? 
You have seen these bags in recent collections but they are now out in great summer colors – the color SAND! 
We’re loving summer sand – it’s the perfect laid-back, neutral color for the beach.
The Madison Hippie in sand or parchment is summer’s roomy take-everywhere bag. Carry it as a handbag or wear it over your shoulder
As I’ve blogged about it here, Coach recently teamed up with four fashion bloggers to create custom bags. All four of them have their own taste and personalities and it is amusing to see how eclectic this collection has become.
Here are some close-up looks on the bags. Which one is your bet?
Look what I found while looking for a great deal on protein powder for the husband!
Now, this would be a dream come true! Who would have thought that these fashion bloggers were able to make their own custom dream Coach bag!
You can actually see their bags (and buy them) at the Boutique Exclusives at Coach.com. I personally like Kelly’s drawstring pouch! Can someone give me $398.00? Because that is how it retails at the store!
From top to bottom (L-R):
Given the chance to design her own Coach tote, Kelly Framel made sure she had every detail just right. "I created my perfect bag!" she says. Yet judging by the following of her eclectic style blog, The Glamourai, plenty of others would love to get their hands on her custom carryall too.
Emily Schuman, of the blog Cupcakes and Cashmere took the opportunity to cast a classic satchel in her trademark cotton-candy hue. "My goal was to create something that would make me happy every time I reached for it," she says.
For Karla’s Closet blogger Karla Deras, success meant never having to put her bag down. Her androgynous-chic purse is designed "to be worn with a chain-strap during the day, and as an oversize clutch at night." Looks like even hard-core fashion junkies can find a way to pack their needs into one ideal tote.
Krystal Simpson, of site What Is Reality Anyway, says her rock ‘n’ roll–inspired take is "for girls who want to have a good time without worrying about changing bags." But don’t let the devil-may-care attitude fool you. "My first thought was how insane it would be to see my name stitched inside a Coach bag!" she admits.
A friend is selling original and authentic Longchamp bags for sale at a fraction of a cost and you can get it within a week from Hongkong (that’s where she posts them). If you are interested, drop a line here in this post and I’ll forward her e-mail address to you.
Here are a few of the bags she is selling, you do not need a payday advance with these ones.

Longchamp Planetes Croc
And the usual Longchamp Pliage totes:
She also offer the Eiffel limited edition, Badges and the HK limited edition tote (which is gorgeous by the way). I honestly can’t wait for the Longchamp pliage tote in Thistle to come – it’s going to be lone LC (for now). I am still dreaming I can have that dream bag soon. A girl can always dream, right?
If there is one designer bag I would splurge on if given the chance (and money), it would definitely be a Balenciaga. It got moved up my dream list after seeing a lot of models from friends who have acquired one. The colors are a plus – there are so many to choose from that I personally feel that whatever you will own will be a keeper. They are also known not to recycle colors (except the classic black but it gets modified) so they are like aged wine and finely-rolled cigars for men as to us women.
Baghags must have read this article already but here is 5 reasons why you should own a Balenciaga:
5. The colors! The colors! We’re talking about Balenciaga, after all. They make everything from blacks, browns, and beiges to the brightest (and best) brights in the business. Jewel tones, neons, anything you want. They’ve made it all, and they give us a half dozen or so new colors twice a year, every year. Sometimes they’re throwbacks to past favorites that are no longer available, but usually they’re a fresh crop of hues to build new outfits around. Everyone has their favorite – mine’s 2007 Violet.
4. A shape for everyone and everyone in their shape Balenciaga makes their classic motorcycle bag in almost as many sizes and shapes as they do colors. From coin purses to clutches to overnight bags, no matter what you need to carry and how you prefer to carry it, there’s something for you. Hobos and satchels make up most of the line, but even then, there are a variety of sizes to pick from.
3. Light as a feather, but not stiff as a board Even in the iterations that have giant hardware, Balenciaga bags are still the lightest that I’ve ever carried. The leather is cut thin instead of the clunky, thick material that many brands prefer, and it makes them easier to carry for long periods of time than most other bags. Even with the thin leather, I’ve never had a ripping or durability problem, and I carry my bags to death and do them no favors. For my purposes, they’re the perfect combination.
2. Even when they’re girly, they’re still edgy Balenciaga is the only brand that has legitimately forced me to contemplate spending money on a bag that’s neon green or bubblegum pink (and I hate pink), and that’s because that in any color, they still manage to look modern and a bit tough. But not too tough! They’re not entirely covered in studs or buckles, just a few, and it’s just enough to balance out any color choice (or to make something like black even better).
1. Not everyone owns one, and they never will I’ve heard people say that the motorcycle bags are played out, or that everyone has one, or whatever. It’s simply not true. The brand is harder to find both online and in stores than almost all of the other major brands that we cover, and the much-sought-after colors are made in relatively low numbers. Past favorites sell for over (sometimes well over) retail on eBay, and unless you live in one of the world’s most fashionable cities, it’s likely that you almost never come across another woman carrying one. I’d wager that the percentage of Americans that are even aware of their existence doesn’t come close to double digits. When you compare that to signature looks from other brands, they’re still relatively exclusive bags.
With yellow predominating the political scene, yellow is also dominating the fashion world. I fell in love with this very cute Marc Jacobs bag I saw from a seller on Facebook (which I should add, is becoming like Multiply already).

It would make a great weekend bag or an office bag if you don’t have a strict attire policy in the workplace too. It costs Php15,000 and I am sure it is more expensive than if I order Phentermine – which I am tempted to do, because I am trying to lose weight seriously this time.
