A Face Lift for My Lanvin Leopard Happy Sac!!

Lanvin happy partage metallic lame bag

I am very in love w/ my Lanvin leopard Happy sac which I bought last year. It is past season now but the look stays timelessly.

Lanvin original black w/ brass metal turn-lock

This year, Lanvin improvised this bag as it is bigger and the shoulder straps holds the bag's shape better. Last year, they only use half interwoven ribbon and 1 chic key chain to secure the two holes when carries single-chained. You can't really move the key chain as the bag tends to be saggy w/o the key chain and ribbon bow as stretchers at two sides!!!

Here is my leopard happy sac from 2008. I bought my bag at Barneys and they have the whole bag of small parts inside Lanvin's repair kit in the store. I saw all the different looks of turn-locks and spared key chains when my SA pull out the repair kit. I am happy that I don't have to wait for months to have my bag repaired...since it only is lace of a screw!! My SA is really really nice to switch the new lock for me when I asked I want a new one for my bag ------ meaning a different look of turn-lock!!!!! There I had been granted my wish!! Oh, now I just remembered that I should have asked my SA give me another key chain.....just in case!! lol

Barney's has bronze color of that partage metallic bag and I think the color is gorgeous!!!!

A new leopard happy sac w/ tortoise turn-lock!! Isn't that cute or what!!!!


Since Legging is a big trend this fall, how about be creative like they layered this sexy leggings inside a pair of corduroy jeans!!
Peek-a-boo!!!


I love this RUGBY military-inspired white jacket very much and it gives me an attitude but not provocative!! :)

I wore this whole ensemble to SF city on Sat. w/ my older daughter, Abby.
She was so patiently waiting for me to try out things....well, of course, she was busy watching cartoons on my i-phone!!




You know, I just love my Fallon Santa Clara Spiked chocker very much and I have to make it work w/ almost every outfit of mine. :P


Like Lily said, Gris T. Birkin goes w/ any color of shoes.....there I had my black riding boots on!!

Nick Verreos says: Go See The September Issue!!!

The REAL Devil Wears Prada...As I reported back in June here on this lovely blog of mine--my friend Jane Cha, executive producer of Project Runway, and director RJ Cutler had invited me to a very special screening of a new documentary of his called The September Issue. Smilin' RJ: Director of "The September Issue" RJ Cutler, flanked by actress Sienna Miller and Bee Shaffer (Anna Wintour's daughter)

The movie, as you may now know, is all about Anna Wintour and the behind-the-scenes creation of Vogue's September Issue from two years ago with actress Sienna Miller on the cover. Without telling you too much, I was especially fascinated by how RJ captured the love-hate struggle of the documentaries two protagonists, fashion editor Grace Coddington (love her!), who seems to be the "Heart of Vogue" and Miss Anna Wintour (who is ALL BUZINESSS!!!). Editor and Cover Girl: Anna Wintour (giving you PRINTS!) and actress Sienna Miller

The Andre Leon Talley can't-live-without-his-Louis-Vuitton tennis playing scene was another highlight. It goes without saying that I loved it. Well kiddies, in case you've been living under a "Fashion Rock", it is September and the movie has arrived in Theaters in New York (It will be in Los Angeles and select cities on September 11) and it's received FANTASTIC reviews.
Bosom Buddies: Jane Cha, RJ Cutler, Kyle McLachlan and Desiree Gruber--all looking very chic!

My friend Jane, has been "traveling the world" as it were, along with RJ going to all the premieres--including London and NY. I know that RJ doesn't need my help in promoting---and touting the fabulousness--of his great movie, but alas, I will still say: Go See The September Issue, it's SOOOOOOO GOOD!!!.
