Marco Tagliaferri Bag

By Ril B

Are you familiar with this bag?

Is this an Hermes Birkin? It might look like one but it's not. This is a Marco Tagliaferri bag ...

The Marco Tagliaferri bag was once very popular in 2007. Marco Taggliaferri is an Italian designer from Milan. However, it is quite hard to find his line of products in the market nowadays.


Back in 2007, Ashley Olsen was one of the many Hollywood actresses who frequently used a Marco Tagliaferri bag.

The shape of this bag is very similar to the mighty Hermes Birkin but it definitely has its own characteristics that differentiate it from a Birkin. In addition, it gives the user a unique look and a different impression altogether from someone with a Birkin bag. If you look closer, the shape of this MT bag is slouchier than an Hermes Birkin. The slouchy look makes it a more casual bag than a Birkin. The strap that comes with this bag allows it to be carried casually while walking around. The long strap is definitely not inspired by Hermes Birkin, but it sure looks like it's Hermes Kelly inspired, which is not a bad thing.

To purchase this bag, you can contact us on our Facebook (BAGkery Shop) or add our BB Pin at 20D1AA25. We sell this bag in either medium or large size.
PS: I believe Ashley Olsen carried the big one and it definitely looked sexy! The price is also much cheaper compared to Hermes Birkin. :p

Michael Michael Kors Hamilton Bag

By Ril B

Looking for a chic and affordable bag for your everyday activities? I would say Michael Kors' Hamilton bag is your answer! I personally own this bag, which I fell in love with at first sight. From the moment I laid my eyes on the Hamilton bag, I decided to buy it as I find it to be a functional and in vogue bag. Fortunately, I've never regretted my impulsive decision at all. This bag is superbly chic and trendy. The shape, the belt, the lock, and the chain of this bag go very well together. This combination gives the impression of a more expensive bag than it actually is. The MK bag is very roomy as I can fit all of my daily items and it does not look bulky at all. The skin of this bag is made of sturdy material, so I don't have to worry about scratching it as I always throw this bag anywhere possible while working. Last but not least, med-long chain/strap is not only fashionable, but they make it easier to carry my bag when I am in a rush. I am thinking of getting another one or two of this Hamilton bag in different colors, how about you? ;)

Bagz War: BALENCIAGA vs. CELINE

By Ril B/Cil B

BALENCIAGA "lune" tote 

Material: calf skin

           vs.        

CELINE "front flap" tote

 Material: calf skin

The winner is BALENCIAGA! We picked BALENCIAGA, because the "lune" tote successfully derives the inspiration of preppy handbag. This bag has the combination of smart character represented by its structured shape and crisp look and casual attribute portrayed by its soft and slouchy touch on either side. Compared to the "lune", the design of CELINE "front flap" tote seems too conservative and old-fashioned because of the bag's super rigid and stiff figure.

TOMS, The Best Fashionable Walking Shoes!

By Ril B

TOMS is the best walking shoes I have ever had. They are very light, with superbly comfortable upper fabric and sole materials. The shoes unique fabric designs gives you American casual look with a chic touch. Thus, I could walk up and down San Francisco hills comfortably, while keeping my fashion style in check. And that's not all, TOMS also has a charitable purpose: giving shoes to children in need. TOMS slogan is ONE for ONE, which means "with every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair new shoes to a child in need." So, what are you waiting for?

Calf-length is a New Hit

By Cil B
Modesty is on the upswing with designers navigating their collections toward a style that hide your knees and the curvy dress that show off more of your figure than your skin. Designer Marc Jacobs took fashion back to the New Look of 1947 initiated by Christian Dior with demure full-skirted dressed collection for Louis Vuitton. Similarly, he presented the retro skirt and dress collection inspired by the seventies that covered your body down to your mid-calf for his own line Marc Jacobs RTW Spring 2011. Other designers have also welcomed this new trend by showing their calf-length dresses, gowns, and skirts as part of their RTW Spring 2011 collections in New York. There is certainly a movement from minis to a very lengthy look that might change the definition of sexy and appealing.

Marchesa - Ready to Wear Spring 2011

By Cil B
The design duo Marchesa is incredibly skilled at taking their sensibility of romantic design each season and interpreting it into glamorously chic and breathtaking knockouts. Their RTW Spring 2011 collection was built on feminine silhouettes, tiers of ruffles and tulle, sequins, and hand details. The shimmer and shine sensation come from the heavily bejeweled neckline assortments.  The edgy feminine side is denoted by the jumpsuit pieces, the armor inspired bolero, the inimitable flower prints and the structured gowns. Yet, the true essence of Marchesa’s season collection is the Grecian Goddess title reflected on most of the cocktails and full-length gowns. 

  

 

 

Giuseppe Zanotti Bow Ankle Strap

By Cil B

This flattering pair created in the house of Giuseppe Zanotti is one of the best ecstasies for your super-glam soul. They will definitely rock your evening outfits. The combination of the bow detail and the silver crystal embellished straps truly creates that red carpet glamour. There is a rear zip for fastening, which makes it easy to put on this pair of shoes. If you opt to wear something more casual, like a set of jersey dress with leather jacket, this shoe will make you look like you’ve just walked down the runway. Unfortunately, this gorgeous ankle strap is not recommended for those whose legs are not lean and calves are not perfectly shaped. Because of the oversized bow detail, this pair of shoes might turn you into a total disaster; your legs will look shorter and fatter and the amount of money spent on it would be worthless.

No Prive Riche Blue Crystals

What do you do when you have the urge to go sparkly as part of your fashion outfit? Well, check out the new pair of glittery Louboutin. The arrival of No Prive Riche is surely a total splendor. A flock of blue crystals that reminds me of the dazzling blue sky is embellished all over these peep-toe slingback pumps. The application of different crystal sizes also adds more character to the shoes that won’t fail to step up your style. Your favorite LBD can be the perfect partner for these shoes.
