[ favorite TOTE ]

One of my favorite leather totes is this one from MICHAEL KORS, the Jet Set Travel Tote. 

Love the simplicity & shape of it.

[ K like.... ]

K like.... Karin?!

what looks like a personalized shopper is the

"K logo tote" from KENZO.

It also comes in leather & felt...

love it!

[ my 2 cravings ]

I'm having 2 major cravings right now.... 

love the black slightly oversized cashmere sweater with the leather elbow patches by JOSEPH and the studded pony skin shopper by ZARA.

Absolute must haves!

[ 4 great BEACH BAGS ]

1. ANYA HINDMARCH - Homework printed canvas tote

2. MISSONI HOME - striped canvas tote

3. TOPSHOP - oversized aztec tote

4. PIERRE HARDY - cube-print canvas tote

[ not just for men.... ]

Yes, ladies, unbelievable that this is supposed to be a men's bag.... because I'm sure you'll love it as much as I do! 
I actually really like that there is a touch of masculinity & not much fuss, just leather and some silver hardware.
The iconic interlocking YSL logo as straps is just so cool & what a good idea to integrate the letters in a playful way. 
By the way the YSL logo was originally designed by legendary French typographer Cassandre in 1961.
I could definitely see this bag in my or any other girls' wardrobe.....
