What do you guys think?

I’m a huge fan of patent leather and when I saw the Valentino “Bow Bowling” Satchel I instantly became a fan. I love satchels and when I’m able to find a stylish one in patent leather, it usually ends up on my wish list.

The Valentino “Bow Bowling” Satchel is adorable, but there is one feature of the handbag that I’m not very fond of. The little bow featured on the front of the bag is pretty much useless to me. I know a majority of Valentino things have bows, but it doesn’t do much justice on this handbag. Without the bow the handbag would probably look much better.

I’m love the handbag in black, but I always prefer a black handbag over any color. Black goes with everything, and gives you the ability to carry the handbag around day or night. I’m not quite sure if I would even use this bag in red, but it is cute. I think the reason I’m not loving the red on the bag is because it reminds me too much of Christmas, or the holiday season in general. Since a bow is already on the satchel, it being in red just makes it look like a present to me. Red or not though, the Valentino “Bow Bowling” Satchel is fabulous.

The Valentino “Bow Bowling” Satchel can be purchased at Saks Fifth Avenue for $995, which is kind of shocking to me. Being that the handbag is by Valentino I was expecting it to be priced much higher! Any designer handbag that doesn’t reach over a thousand, gets an A+ in my book!

Valentino has recently introduced us to the “Kaleido Vertical Tote” and I must admit it is different. The question is though, is this handbag unique or just plain tacky? The whole entire handbag is dressed in resin stones. It may look as if the handbag has a futuristic feel, and does pass as something that would be labeled as “cool.” To actually wear this handbag in public is a different story. For one thing, it would look like you are carrying one big mirror on your shoulder. It could be helpful if you needed a mirror fairly quick, but other than that what good is this bag?

One major downfall about this bag, is that we all know handbags go through wear and tear. What would someone do if one of the resin stones fell out? It would be like a sore spot on the handbag, when the whole bag looks like glass then you see a chunk missing.

I’m not even sure what season to carry thing bag in to be honest. It has such a different look, that I suppose you could wear it whenever you pleased. It doesn’t have a main color that sticks out, so it’s kind of a toss up for when you would use this handbag.

I would personally love to know how much this bag weighs. I’m sure with all those stones, the handbag is quite heavy. Imagine it already being heavy, then after putting all of your stylish essentials in the bag how much more heavier would it be?

I usually love Valentino but I have to admit that this handbag is a fashion error to me. The worst part of it all isn’t even the look of the bag it’s the price!

The Valentino Kaleido Vertical Tote can be purchased at Saks Fifth Avenue for $2,995, which is absolutely absurd to me. Not only is the handbag ugly, but the price is even uglier! Tacky purse with a horrible price, what more else can go wrong with this bag?

I didn’t check out the real Valentino Histoire Bag yet. But I have a look at my friend’s replica Histoire Bag. The patent leather on this fake is quite soft. But because it is soft so it is easy to get creased. I believe you have to use it very carefully otherwise it will soon look like your grandma’s face.

I had thought the replica has the leather pleated in the wrong way. But if you check this photo, you can see the replica was pleated correctly. The photo of the authentic was taken fron the front and the photo of the replica was taken from the back of the bag.

But you still can see the pleats of the authentic bags are hard-pressed while the pleats of the replica are not pressed – they look very loose and natural.

Anne, Gwyneth & More Dish About Fashion at Valentino’s Star-Studded Film Debut

Designer Valentino might have earned fame for dressing Hollywood’s leading ladies, but with last night’s premiere of Valentino: The Last Emperor, the Italian designer became a film star in his own right. It was an appropriately star-studded occasion, with Gwyneth Paltrow, Claire Danes and Anne Hathaway among the elite crowd that turned out to the Gilt Groupe- and Quintessentially-sponsored premiere at MoMA. And the gorgeous crowd wasn’t lost on the designer. “Gwyneth looks fantastic tonight,” Valentino remarked to PEOPLE, “Anne sensational. Claire Danes . . . they’re all friends of mine.” But just because they dazzled in Valentino’s elegant gowns, didn’t mean that stars weren’t also keeping more prosaic issues in mind. Of her Grecian-inspired white gown, Anne Hathaway explained, “I’ve been enjoying a couple of post-Oscar burgers. So I didn’t fit into a lot of the vintage stuff. I wanted to wear something that was a little bit more forgiving.” For glam mom-to-two Paltrow, “It was hectic getting ready. We just flew in yesterday for this. And my kids are really jetlagged. And my son had a meltdown. But we got out the door,” although not without a struggle. “He was very upset by these hair clips they put in to keep your hair back when you’re getting your makeup done,” she explained. “He hated them. He was livid. But I’m here. I made it.” So did Moses have an opinion about the dress? “He did not like it,” said Paltrow. “He’s very specific. My daughter really liked it. She also chose my nail polish color.” Pink, of course! And how did the man of the night, Valentino, feel about her look? “I don’t know,” answered Paltrow. “I’m going to have to be scrutinized later.”

It’s time to update your wardrobe for Spring and Summer, girls!   And this season there are so many hot trends emerging, you’ll have plenty to choose from!

Here are 7 Hottest Fashion Trends for Spring-Summer season according to fashion gurus from Elle, Vogue and InStyle.  And in between those fabulous pictures you’ll find my two cents on how to utilize these styles to turn into most fabulous fashionista on the planet!

1. Bold Belts …

Dressing up your outfit with a bright bold belt is one of the easiest ways to update your look.

If you wearing a black outfit, opt for a thick colorful belt that will instantly add character and style.

Or show your dangerous side wearing a belt with an animal pattern or a belt made of faux exotic skin!

Who said a belt should be made of leather or fabric? Try a more daring version of a belt with a soft dress, the contrast between the two will play up your whole outfit.  See how much more floating the silk in the pictures is?  It’s all about contrast …

2. Big Earrings, Bangles and Necklaces …

Bright jewelry is the best way to dress up any outfit. And this Spring-Summer season bold jewelry is as hot as ever!

Although, there is one rule of wearing it, which I’ve unfortunately learnt only after my fashion “faux-pas”.

Girls, no matter what your BFF say, there is such a thing as “TOO MUCH” when it comes to wearing bold pieces of jewelry. To play it right, wear 2 pieces (either earrings and bangles or bangles and rings or rings and necklace etc.) at a time and you will look positively fabulous!

Don’t you love these tribe-inspired earrings by Louis Vuitton? Now that’s what I call a statement piece!  I am sure there will be many look-alikes for a more reasonable price…

This season bangles are so hot, the more of them you wear at a time – the better!  And I am so in love with Lanvin bold bracelet made of gems… Didn’t they have something similar in H&M?

Necklaces are getting bolder and brighter as well. Worn over a dress or a T-shirt, a bold necklace will glam up your whole look.  AND a bold necklace can make you look slimmer – how fabulous is that?

3. White and Black …

Go classic this Spring, pick a black’n’white dress or mix your white items with black ones. Pick a white belt, black heels and black earrings, or look for a black and white necklace to complete the look.

If you’re going out after work, refresh the look with a fabulous black hair accessory featuring lace or feathers, and black lace gloves (these are so hot right now!).   And you’ll surely break some hearts that night!

Chanel featured so many gorgeous black’n’white looks for this Spring and Summer! Well, after all this is a classic combination and classic is always in style, right?

I go weak in the knees for these fabulous Chanel shoes on the left! That feather detail is precious … But there are more fabulous shoes to come, keep scrolling!

4. The Nude Hues …

At the other end of the scale, there’s the nude hues. The catwalk went mad for these Spring-Summer 2009, and as a result – there’s a huge range of nude colours on the rails!

Are you consider trying on something in nude? Don’t be disappointed if the first flick you put on makes you look washed out. All you need is to find the perfect hue for your skin – it might be a bit more pinkish, or grayish, just keep looking and you’ll find the hue that’s just perfect for you!

PS: I found that a slight tan helps a lot when it comes to nude colors. A good self-tanner could do the trick!

5. Colorful Bags …

6. Uber Short Shorts …

Do you have killer legs?  If so, this trend is for you!  Well, the shorts girls are sporting in the pictures are a bit too short, but you get the idea – the shorter the shorts you wear this Spring-Summer, the more stylish you look!  Just make sure your bootie stays covered ))

Dsquared2  panties/shorts look so fab!  If only we could take them from the runway into the streets…  But I guess my 80 year old neighbor will have a heart attack if she sees me in one of these )

Marni had a few of these uber-short shorts in their Spring-Summer 2009 collection, but I thought these were the cutest …

7. Cool Blazers …

My friend has made this look her trademark  , by mixing her boyfriends blazers with her shorts, tops and gorgeous bright jewelry. But turns out mixing a cool blazer with a dress or a gown is also an ultra fabulous idea!

Steal her look, or make it your own by mixing and matching skinny jeans, capris or short shorts with big blazers for an ultra feminine look.

So, are you now In-Trend?
