My New Bruno Magli Knee Boots

OMG! When I was cleaning up and packing my stuff to bring to my Christmas holiday trip I found my brand new Bruno Magli shoes that I just bought last week. I've forgotten about these shoes what with my best friends came to visit me and all the shoe fiasco that I had in the last couple of weeks.
So, introducing Bruno Magli knee high boots! Yes these are some fancy shoes (980€) and to forget having them is beyond me! These shoes even came with authenticity card and guarantee card! You don't see such shoe often here in Germany (unless in Munich or Dusseldorf).
These shoes are made of soft but tough suede and there's a zipper on the back. The shoes have 13cm heels and 4cm platforms. The shoes are quite comfortable but since the soles are leather I would have to have them re-done with rubber soles. The shape of the shoes make legs look slimmer and shapelier. I have to say I love them and I love the attention I'm getting when I wear these shoes!

My New Prada Platform Heels

They are here!!! They are gorgeous and very intricate!! The heels are 14cm high! I love them. The soles are made of leather but the part where they hit the ground is injected with rubber, so you won't slip! No wonder why Prada shoes are some of the most expensive shoes in the market!

My New Gucci Guccisima Shawl

I do not like shawl because it actually makes shorter people (like me) even shorter. So, to make my self love shawl I bought Louis Vuitton Logomania shawl. The problem was some part of the lamb wool got into my eyes and as a lens wearer, that's bad. I also don't like the fact that it sheds like a balding man! So, I sold that and bought my self this warm and nice Gucci shawl.
The shawl is long and big (I'm talking about the shawl!). It's about 180cm long and 36cm wide. The shawl is not as warm as the Louis Vuitton shawl but it's better than go neckbare (influenza, anyone?), especially because I don't get no wool stuck in on my eyeballs!

My Versace for H&M Studded Leather Jacket!

It's a tad too wide on the waist but that's ok. I actually got three dresses as well but they are too big so I will send them back.

The New Look of My Luois Vuitton Empreinte Petillante Clutch

Ever since I got mugged by some thugs, I decided to take an action to prevent such incident to happen in future by attaching a chain to the bag and to my watch (or leather cuff with D-ring that I have ordered). The bag looks more interesting with the chain I think.

My New Moschino Leather Gloves

I found another treasure at TK Maxx Cologne! A pair of very soft leather gloves from Moschino. They only cost 50 € and such designer leather gloves usually cost between 200 to 300 €! The gloves are lined with wool and angora (is that real cat's fur?) and they are so warm!

I love the grommet accent, it adds a touch of punk and rock'n'roll to the elegance of the aubergine color of the gloves. Not only that, they also have a heart-shaped jewel in gold on the outer sides with the word Moschino engraved on the metal. Lovely!

My New Diego Dolcini Combat Boots

Sexy, tough and trés, trés chic!!!! And fuckin' comfortable! These shoes are serious looker! With 12cm heels and 2cm platforms these shoes make your legs 10 times slimmer and 20 times longer. I've got compliments from two strangers since I've got these shoes and some appreciative glances from ladies and gents alike! Some of the older ladies I met on the train were plainly staring! But then again I dress for my self and not for anybody else. These shoes are this winter staple!

My New to Me Jimmy Choo Maddy

It's here!!! The infamous Jimmy Choo Maddy bag! I won it on ebay, the bag condition is almost new and I get it for a lot cheaper than the original price. The custom fee was outrageous but I guess for a bag as beautiful as Maddy I'd do anything.
The bag is violet with suede panels on the corners and liquid patent leather on the front, the sides and the back. There are a lot of pockets inside to keep my stuff organized.
The bag is very hefty what with the brushed brass hardware, the thick zippers (two on the front and one on the back) and the good quality patent leather and suede.

My New LV Empreinte Petillante Clutch

Isn't she gorgeous? When I undressed her (take her out of the box and the dustbag), she took my breath away and soon the smell of the famous Empreinte leather seduced my senses. I actually bought this bag last week but only have the time to write a review now.

I have always been a handheld and a clutch bag kinda girl. Shoulder and cross-body bags never really appeals to me. I think it's because they look too casual for my liking. The first time I really like to carry a clutch for day was when I got my Alexander McQueen DeManta clucth then I really started to fall in love with clutches when I got my Balenciaga envelope clutch. Then I bought my LV Eva for clubbing butunfortunately she's too small to carry all my artillery.

DeManta and Balenciaga Envelope are nice but they are flat so it's kinda difficult to bring a lot of this in them coz all the stuff that I always carry with me make them look bulgy. When I went to LV shop in Cologne to get my Speedy I saw this clutch on the display but she hadn't called my name yet. Then I saw on youtube this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdDZxFtdBN8 suddenly I felt like I was hypnotized! I gotta have her!!!

So here she is sitting on my desk looking hot and sexy! The bag is actually very functional. The size is 27cm x 16cm x 10cm. She has two outer pockets with a zipper each, inside there are a cellphone pocket and a lipstick pocket, and under the flap, there's a leather pocket. Empreinte leather is actually a calf skin with caviar texture and embossed LV monogram. To see how the leather is processed, please have a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ00ZbKrp8c&feature=related

The color of my bag is called Flamme, it's a burgundy/brownish dark red. The color is actually neutral and can be paired with any color that I have in my closet. Inside, the bag is lined with cotton textile. 

I'm so glad I got this clutch. I guess LV Alma Vernis PM has to wait to be in my closet!

My New LV Denim Bandeau in Cherise

It's my Prada Saffiano Fori bag's birthday today so I bought her, errr, my self an LV bandeau as a birthday present. The name might say Denim but it's 100% silk. It's sooo smooth and silky (DUH!). Today I wore it as a girl-tie. Yep, I knotted the bandeau around my neck the way men knot their ties and it actually looks good! But it should be looser.

I choose the color Cherise because it has some brown that would compliment my LV Speedy in Damier Ebene

This bandeau is very versatile. It can be worn as a scarf, bandana, bracelet, belt... The possibility is endless. I can also tie it on my Speedy bag as a bag charm!

For autumn I will buy the scarf version. That or Logomania wool scarf.

My New Louis Vuitton Eva

I actually bought the bag about three weeks ago but I only have the time to post it now. I saw this bag first time when I bought my Speedy but it was in monogram pattern. Then a week later the rubber sealer on my Speedy handles peeled off so I had to return it. Louis Vuitton exchanged my Speedy with a brand new one, no questions asked (LV has the best customer service in my experience). That's when I saw this LV Eva in Damier Ebene. I fell in love instantly and a few days later I went back to the store and bought it. The size is actually small but somehow it fits all my essentials that I always carry with me when I go clubbing or partying. I love, love the bag. I could pair it with casual outfit, party outfit or formal outfit. I love the shoulder chain and also the cross-body strap. This tiny little clutch has multifunction. Available at LV stores world wide. It's one of their classic line that will always be available no matter what season.

 

My Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Speedy 30

I never understood what the craze about Louis Vuitton Speedy until I my self got one. I never thought I would buy it actually because there are so many fakes out there and I had always been afraid that people would think I carry a fake bag. But I saw this lady carrying one and she looked so lovely and the bag set off her style. She had a trench coat on with a pair of Louboutin heels. She just looked so modern yet effortlessly chic. Then I thought why not? I really liked the bag so I bought one from LV Cologne, Germany. I'm so in love with the bag now. And I don't care if people think I'm carrying fake because I know I'm not and people who actually own LV bags would know that mine is authentic.

My New Miu Miu Matelasse Clutch in Brown!!!

I tried to order this clutch from Miu Miu website but somehow I have a long address and I couldn't write it all there. So I figured that maybe a Miu Miu shop could help. I wanted it in black but it seems like it's sold out everywhere, even in all Miu Miu shop in Germany. When I called Miu Miu Frankfurt, they only had one in Brown so yeah I thought it should look nice as well and maybe it's lastbetter than black. So ordered one last week and it came today! For a clutch the bag is medium size 25x17 cm. It's not too big but it's big enough to put whatever I need during the day. As you can see in the second picture I could load my passport, MAC Studio Fix Powder, L'Oreal lipstick, two cellphones, a coin purse, eye liner and eye shadow, and a small bottle of foundation. I can use the clutch as a day or evening bag. This is so practical!

My BCBGgirl Heels!

I was so bored and felt kinda lonely so I cleaned up my closet. Instead of skeletons, I found these gorgeous BCBG shoes that I haven't worn for ages. These actually one of the first pairs of shoes I've bought in Germany. But I do remember why I stopped wearing them. The front part of the soles had rubbed off. I took them out of my closet and brought them to the cobler and had them re-soled. Voilá! They're as good as new.
By the way the heels are 12cm high! The shoes are of good quality and they are very comfortable. Will be wearing them for a party this week-end. All eyes would be on my feet!

My Jimmy Choo Mahala

This is my new bag. It's Jimmy Choo Mahala from 2008 with liquid patent leather. I got this bag last week actually. I won it from an auction on Ebay for only 250 Euro! The bag is perfect except that there are some peelings on the handles but that what makes it special and it's a proof that the bag was loved (carried a lot, lol). The bag is heavy but hey, to look good is to suffer! Hahahaha.....
I also love the fact that there are multiple pockets inside of the bag. This bag is sexy, kinda reminds me of green snake. Never thought I would say a green snake is sexy!

5th Avenue Bandage Booties

If you live in Germany, you could go to Deichmann and go to 5th Avanue section. They have some of the most comfortable shoes in the world. And Cindy Crawford is their spoke person! I already have a pair of over-the-knee boots and two pairs of gladiator shoes from them. I really can't believe how comfortable they are! These booties (only one of them in the pic) are made of real leather and the heels are staggering 12 cm, but the arch and the platform make them feel like flats!

Silit? What?!

Silit is a famous kitchenware brand in Germany. But in Indonesian Silit literally means a*shole! LMFAO!!!

My Fave Bag: Prada Saffiano Fori in Papaya/Caramel

I bought this bag last year in August and I have been carrying it on and off even during the winter. I've always liked the shape of LV Speedy but since everyone and their mother have it I kinda hesitant to get one. Thankfully Prada made this bag in in that shape and colors that I love. No one does color blocking better than Prada (and Celine of course). It's so cheerful, isn't it? The bag is surprisingly versatile and I can carry it with everything I  have in my closet.

First Post!!!

Hi people, my name is Irene, living in Bonn Germany, and here's my first post!!! Since this blog is about bags and everything else, I think this first picture is a perfect introduction to my blog! Don't you just love the joke behind this bag?
