I HEART B. ROMANEK

I'm surfing through the countless bag/purse/clutch/tote blogs, and I have to say most blogs are more advertising pages and big ragbags (precisely) than tasteful picks hot spots. After pages of famous designer bags worn by every unknown or indecently famous celeb, pages of ridiculously expensive edition über-limited bags and pages of bags designed by struggling designers who tries too hard to be original, I came across this gem (I know...Die-hard Fashionatas have probably known this one for months): The B. Romanek Crocodile Rockstar Clutch . I'm not a croc lover, never was, but B. Romanek managed to highlight it with carefully chosen unique colors. I'm in love with the Turquoise (above), but I would've called it Eden Garden. This bag is a little sin!

I can't resist posting the Purple one, because this shade of purple is just exquisite. It's an elegant shade, not too sweet, not too strict but I would have called it Winy. This bag is like a fresh glass of wine.

It has been spotted in the arms of a handful of celebrities. Eva Mendes and Ashley Olsen have it midnight blue, Sophie Monk and Rachel Zoe have it in the lipstick red, and Heather Locklear and Ashlee Simpson have the forest green version (L-O-V-E it).

The B. Romanek Crocodile Rockstar Designer Clutch is also available Cognac, Black, Chocolate, Bone, Midnight, Salt and Pepper, Lipstick, and Lime Juice. Available in small (7″ width x 4.5″ height) for $1,625, Regular (9″ width x 10″ height) for $1,950, and Large (6″ width x 17″ height) for $2,495.

A few of them are available at Barneys .

Naomi's going YSL Downtown

Naomi Watts was spotted rockin' the hot YSL Downtown tote in dark purple. Though it's not THE Bag we see dangling from every celebs arm, The Downtown Collection has been a hit thus far for YSL and the new colors of the hits keep rolling in. I thought that the basic black and brown versions were pretty random and even dull (this shape needs more studied colors and patterns to be highlighted properly) but I like the metallic silver leather version, which was lately introduced by our friend from www.purseblog.com (a must-read! I'm from the "bag addicts" tribe, not from the "shoe addicts"one ;o) ). Silvery bags and accessories are a must-have this season, and this baby has the perfect design to dare silver.
