I must admit that my friend Marti of
A NYer in PDX takes the credit for turning me onto this bag as she has been talking about it for a good long while. It recently became available on Mulberry's online shop and, upon seeing the pictures, totally fell in love with it. It is much bigger than I thought, so more of an everyday bag, and the contrast color of the handle and strap in the midnight color is so seventies vintage--it would add great style to even the simplest of outfits. Also the bag seems extremely versatile and able to work equally well in summer and winter.
Doubtful that I could afford the $1300 price tag right now...but one can dream.... Or there is something to be said for finding something similar at a vintage store (but not nearly as nice...)
The other colors - conker (?) and pumpkin are nice too, as is the mini version which at $1050 isn't that much more affordable.
I saw this bag a few weeks ago over on Simple Blueprint. It's by LA-based designer Marie Turnor and constructed of super soft leather with a magnetic closure. It strikes me as something a little bit kitschy but chic at the same time. It's called "the picnic" and also comes in a few metallic colors and a lipstick red.
Isabel Marant's new Dixie boot is a low-heel version of the incessantly coveted Dicker boots. To me, they are more like a beatle boot and less of a cowboy boot. Regardless, they are at the very top of my fall wishlist. The taupe is pictured but they also come in black. I'm sure all the usual places will have them: Stuart & Wright in Brooklyn, Creatures of Comfort and of course Odessa in Portland. At $615, they are not for the faint of heart.
Stuart & Wright in Brooklyn has this Isabel Marant "rush" dress on sale (50% off, i think?). Only one left, size 0. I've been on the fence for a few days myself, but for sure a good deal on a print that will no doubt be a collector's item.
Absolutely dying over the new fall colors for the No.6 clog boots. I wish my closet looked like this. Since I can only pick one color (or two..or three), I would have to say the rust is my favorite, followed by the honey and the ash grey. Really though, they are all nice. I wonder if No.6 will be keeping the lace-up boot from Fall 2010 as well? I'd love for them to do an ankle height version of the lace-up boot. And in forest green leather maybe. That would be my dream...
