Super Stud
December 19, 2006 by Ehmonie Hainey · 4 Comments
Studded bags are everywhere, and show no signs of leaving. Most bags have studded straps and handles, or a handful of studs sprinkled on as trim. Sonia Rykiel’s large Studded Domino Handbag ($1,045) shows studs done right - in excess and superimposed over every visible inch of the bag. I love the surplus of studs, evenly spaced and shiny which gives the bag a tasteful air. It is THE ideal bag for Christmas dinners, holiday parties, and New Year’s celebrations. Versatility is key and when mixed with the stud trend, this bag fits the bill.
Do You Fake It?

No, I’m not referring to the big ‘O’, but to designer handbags. Do you carry fakes? Sarah over at A Fabulous Fashion Blog recently said that 99% of Louis Vuitton products sold are knock-offs. Everyone seems to have a Louis, and these days it’s difficult to spot a knock-off from a distance, as the quality of the fakes have improved drastically, while, in my opinion, the authentic Louis’ look cheaper than ever.
Mind What You Wear has created a line of fakes which are cheeky, comical and surprisingly covetable. The word ‘FAKE’ is sardonically silk-screened on top of knock-off Louis Vuitton bags. Every style of logo’ed Louis is available, from the traditional, to the graffiti, to the colorful Murakami version.
Would you sport one of these fakes?

Moni is My Name
December 6, 2006 by Ehmonie Hainey · 6 Comments
Moni Moni bags are made of rugged, long lasting leathers and are filled to the brim with tough girl charm. My favorite is the ‘Eden’ in Vanilla ($575), the proclaimed ‘hottest’ bag of the season. It has the feel of a Chloe purse, with slouchy, worn leather and a burst of brass studs over the bag and dotted on the shoulder strap. I love the belted strap that winds all the way around the bag, and top zip and snap closure that keeps your stuff extra secure. The hanging heart tag adds a lovely touch to the all the rough ruggedness.
