A potential classic with iconic signature piece like this needs no further introduction and description. I find the gold leather color incredibly elegant and the whole bag to be very utilitarian. This bag is certainly priced to sell at very attractive EUR716 at luisaviaroma.com or SGD1,410 at nordstrom.com.

The icon bag of Ferragamo, the Sofia has been re-issued in many colors season after season but this newly perforated leather version is simply divine. Perforated leather has been done and done by many but there is something very neat and put-together yet edgy about this beautiful bag that makes its price tag of USD1,790 very very justifiable. I am sure in love with this one. AVailable at Neiman Marcus and your nearest Ferragamo stores.

Yet another small leather flap bag from a big design house and this time is from Ferragamo.
What I love: The vintage-inspired and classic looking vachetta leather and the properly added Gancini logo to elevate the aesthetics of the bag.
What I don not love: Too similar to YSL’s version and pricey at USD1,250.

There are many romantic comedies on the cinema this week and I just realized it yesterday that it is because Valentine’s Day is here! I watched ‘Just Go with It’ with a friend today (not with a date, sadly but true) and I LOVED the movie very much! There are at least two things about Jennifer Aniston I have to highlight.
Firstly, she is still the undisputed coolest girl in the Hollywood. Who else could hold a candle and still shine over the 23-year old Sports Illustrated model, Brooklyn Decker and Nicole Kidman together in one movie? Rachel Green might have been gone long ago but Aniston is here to stay!
Secondly, there is something going on between Jennifer Aniston and Ferragamo (the label, not any of the men). She has been seen with Ferragamo bags in all her recent movies now, starting from the Sofia in ‘The Bounty Hunter’ and the Croc Fiammetta in here. The bag is not new but from Spring/Summer 2010, which practically means last year’s collection. Then again, the beauty about Ferragamo items is that they are classic. I am not sure what the exact price of this bag is but it should have been over USD10,000.
PS: Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Wishing you all the LOVE in the world! =)

Not all messenger bags are created equally. By nature, it is a more relax bag but if it should work with professionals too to stretch its value. Then again, most messenger bags that work for work are mostly rigid and structured which might not work for more relaxed occasions. This Ferragamo Venna messenger is quite a good balance between work and play. The leather has been distressed to give out that vintage vibe which equals character. I can imagine this being worn with both tee and jeans and shirt and tie. Price is USD1,600 from Neiman Marcus.

A few things I adore about this Ferragamo hobo bag:
1. The blue color is freaking classic, vintage-inspired, awesome!
2. The shape is classic and the leather is luxurious
3. The Gancini hardware on the bag
4. It is a hobo and I am into hobos now
5. I have always thought that James Ferragamo was awesome and even more so now since I just saw him on TV
6. The price is awesome at only SGD1,200 from Saks.

If Hermes can sell bags made of scarves, Ferragamo should also be able to, right? Well, I actually did not think so as Hermes made its name out of its leather and silk but Ferragamo actually out of leather shoes. Then again, maybe I was too quick to judge as this Floral scarf print tote looks not only great as a bag but the scarf itself would look great wrapping around a lady’s neck too. It would certainly make a great resort bag and for whatever reason, the price tag of USD1,190 does not feel too much. If you agree with me, get one from Neiman Marcus!

Pleating is always a good understated way to add elegance and feminine touch to a bag. The Ferragamo Caretta might not grab your attention right away like some other bags might do when you first lookat it but upon closer inspection, there are interesting details one might appreciate (if you could appreciate fine things in life) such as the braided leather handles, the soft luxurious calf leather and the roomy interior which is easy to access to. If you like an understated bag with fine details, this one is for you. Available at Bloomingdale’s for USD1,450.
Ferragamo bags like this one is a classic potential and every girl needs a lemon yellow bag in her wardrobe to match that summer outfit, don’t you think? Get this classic piece for USD1,512 after 20% off from USD1,890 from bluefly.com.

I caught the Wall Street 2 today and while it met my expectations at large, the ending was, IMO, too “happy”. Yes, it might be the real case with the Wall Street people – getting 7 or 9 figures pay check while 15,000 people lost of their jobs and millions of others lost their life savings but I really think the audience could handle a little more focus on the bitterness of life such as the possibility that Gordon Gekko was really a bastard who cares more about how many more billions he could make rather than being a father.
Nevertheless, Shia Labeouf and Carey Mulligan was super super cute together, they are like a pair of very cute salt and pepper shaker. The scene where they separated was very heart-wrenching.
The other things I could not help but notice are Shia’s bag and shoes. They were Ferragamo Toronto Messenger bag (was USD850, but no longer available widely) and Gucci Moccasins (USD495), which are think while understated, look pretty nice on screen.
