So L.A Times Magazine has came up with a list of 50 bags they considered signature bags and it’s illustrated by Jameson Simpson.
Bags are my other favorite fashion accessory besides shoes. I’ve picked out 9 out of the 50 that I really love. Maybe someday I’d own all of them. A girl can dream can’t she?
The full list can be seen in this article. as seen from joy.nu

It’s been so long since I’ve posted an outfit post. I’m so sorry for my absence.
After seeing all the runway pictures these few weeks, I’ve been very inspired by runway looks and after getting my hands on a pair thigh highs that looks suspiciously like the ones from the Chanel Spring/Summer 2010 collection, I’ve decided to put together a runway inspired look from that collection.
We picked out several details from the runway collection. Basically, the look is girly and sweet with a loose updo and flower headpieces. Makeup is light, fresh and at a bare minimum. The shoes and patterned stockings are important highlights of the look.
Added a flowery necklace to make it more girly.
Braided my hair up and added some corsages too.
The stockings are pretty fragile with similar criss-cross patterns, I’m afraid of snagging them though. The clogs are from a Japanese shoe brand called Esperanza.

Spring is finally lingering around the corner, and I am sure many of you are more than happy to chuck the winter coats into the closet and pull out your lighter, shorter spring coats. Afterall, who doesn’t want to finally show their legs after months of burying them under thick, suffocating leggings and pants? Unfortunately, going bare legged isn’t exactly an option for those of you living in chillier regions. Why not take a cue from Chanel and Ungaro and try out these whimsically romantic yet functional tights? I adore how they provide an ingenious solution for those who wants to get into the light and girly mood of spring, yet remain practical at the same time.
Patterned stockings have existed for a long time, but there appears to be a resurgence these few years. Rather than the old hearts and polka dots motif, Chanel proved to be ingenious yet again by bringing out these cross-tie stockings in the s/s10 collection which everyone and their dog raved about.
A much lesser known version of this can be seen interpreted by Ungaro with mirrored panels for an edgier look. I really like how Ungaro has paired these stockings with a frilly skirt to bring out the playfulness characterized by spring.
And here is my take on it with my winter gear. I found these stockings in Bugis Street, Singapore and I bought them because they are reminiscent of the Chanel ones which I adore. I am sure they would actually look really nice on someone who doesn’t have discarded daikon stumps for legs, though.
By the by, I might also mention that this would be a teaser pic for an outfit post that will soon be posted! Do check back later if you are interested in seeing more.
So, what do you think of patterned stockings? Would you like to wear them?

This is pretty ingenious. We could all bring out a couple of marker pens and doodle on our wrists too.
