All we need sometimes is a little faith in life and then suddenly everything will turn out fine. The demise of the dearest Alexander McQueen is a permanent loss to the fashion world but the house seems to be going on fine without the head of Creatives. This nude full leather tote bag is one of the hottest bags I have seen recently. It has all the fineness, at the same time the bad-ass look of anything McQueen. If you are in the market for a big bag with attitude, this is worth buying. Available now at net-a-porter.com for USD1,165.

Alexander McQueen passed away on the 11th February 2010. Gucci Group has not commented on the fate and future of the design house without the designer who is also the founder. He will certainly be missed. Everything McQueen designer has been flying off the shelves now so while still available, try to get yourself a piece of the original McQueen. The glove clutch is a perfect classic piece with enough dose of badness the brand is known for. Available at Alexander McQueen stores physical or online for USD875.

I am not head-over-heels with the design of this McQueen bag but I am very much into blue now so this is a pretty nice bag. It is a little too trendy for my liking though but if you have USD1,450 to spare for a bag that lasts for a season only, why not? It is now “IN”.

Unlike my sis, i like unstructured leather bags that slouch and since my rocker thingy is still not over, this bag appeals to me like honey to the bee. The only thing is that this bag is not big enough to be a man bag. Anyhow, this will go perfectly with a pair of over-the-knee leather boots which is like the new ankle boots. Too bad for you who live in Singapore and its neighborhood. There is no way the over-the-knee boots will be popular here. You could still get the bag from Saks (now ships directly to Singapore too) for USD1,695. Just for your viewing pleasure, the over-the-knee boot is from Juicy Couture, also available at Saks for USD500.

The Spring 2009 bags from the venerable fashionable house of Chanel are simply irresistible. Chanel is the icon of Parisian chic and high-style for women who are sure of themselves. Carrying something from Chanel sets one apart from the flock. Over the past few years, the brand has been trying to appeal more to younger audience as opposed to only to the ladies who lunch. I love this collection very much because it is so much fun, young yet still well put together with a hint of jokes. Notice how the classic flap bag has been redone in Chanel-signature tweed, how the shopping bags in leather draw inspiration from paper bags and lastly how the classic flap in leather has been re-oriented to portrait. Best thing is, Chanel rarely follows trends. The house either sets one sometimes or mostly produce classic pieces so when you buy into a Chanel, you could use it forever.

Alexander McQueen is one designer who is predictably unpredictable most of the time. The hooligan of English fashion has not made it big in the world of handbags despite being one of the leading British designers today. This spring, however, The house of McQueen brought the most vibrant and exciting purple color in one of handbags’ most classic shapes and skins.
Framed with gold hardware and pleated patent mock croc, this the living example of classic with a twist, not surprising coming from McQueen. Grab this incredible arm candy for Spring via Net-A-Porter for $2,150
