Everyone has a favorite black handbag, right? The proven one that you fish out of your wardrobe when you’re in a hurry and don’t want to waste time thinking about which bag would fit your outfit best. Mine is a beautiful black patent tote I bought in 2007. It’s not a designer handbag, but I spent a good amount of money (approx. $200) and it was one of the best investments I’ve ever made, fashion-wise. Jimmy Choo‘s Blythe textured leather tote remotely reminds me of my favorite trusty BB (= black bag). Classic, elegant & chic.

Rampage Logan Satchel
If you have yet to find your favorite BB or are on the lookout for a new addition, try Rampage‘s “Logan” satchel. It’s basically Jimmy Choo under $100 with the exception that the Rampage version has additional side pockets. And if you’re not a fan of black, this bag also comes in nude, burgundy, mink and navy. Sweet!

These over-the-top sky-high platform heels were part of Giambattista Valli‘s Spring 2008 collection and even though Spring 2008 is like a million years ago in the fashion universe I still can’t get over them. In fact, they were one of my first shoe obsessions ever. One of the things that got me interested in fashion in the first place – beyond the ocassional shopping spree in the mall or a random page flip through Vogue. Some say these heels look hooker-ish, to me – they are perfect. The embodiment of art and fashion with a hint of craziness.

Shiekh "Persia-01" Platform Heels
What I love about these platform heels by Shiekh is that they’ve kept the extreme proportions of the original Vallis and didn’t tone it down to make them more appealing to the masses. Yes, the platform isn’t quite as high, but that’s barely noticeable. So gorgeous, affordable & available in white/pink (pictured), black/pink, beige/yellow and grey/black.
