Fashion Designer Tip of the Day, Working Women's Bags, Couture in the City Fashion Blog

Bags these days have become overloaded with trends: padlocks, leopard prints, furs, chains, etc. But what do you wear to work when you work at a law firm or bank and a Marc Jacobs leopard print chain bag simply won't do?


This ink blue leather Lara bag by J&M Davidson has a front pocket and padlock detail
is perfect for everyday work use. The color especially goes with the greys, blacks and deep bronze shades of this upcoming fall/winter. Available from my wardrobe for $790


Lambertson Truex makes excellent travel bags and their foray into women's handbags is just as cute. I love the thin ribbon detail which gives it extra flair. Available from Bergdorf Goodman for $1,395


I can so picture a high powered yet stylish CEO with this bag. Yes it may be purple but it's also croc which is arguably one of the most expensive leathers out there, excluding ostrich of course. I love this classic shape and simple lack of details. Available from asprey.

Diane Kruger's Gold Dress, Couture in the City Fashion Blog

Diane Kruger looks fabulous in this gold and dark navy striped dress. What looks like high fashion is actually high street by FCUK. Who knew it could look so good on the red carpet? Wear with leggings and boots like Diane or loose black booties and a sharp black clutch.


The Serpent Dress is available for £130 from FCUK.

Emilie de Ravin's Red Smock, Couture in the City Fashion Blog

Lost star Emilie de Ravin looks so classy here. I usually don't like her on the show but I'm loving her new fringe which to me makes her look like a completely different person! Not a lot of people can pull off such a simple smock like this. Especially in a bold red color but Emilie does so flawlessly.

Gorgeous Goyard, Couture in the City Fashion Blog

I was at Harvey Nichols today picking up some stuff when I decided to drop by Goyard. Goyard isn't a brand I'm ever interested in as their chevron monogram, I found, was too overwhelming. Also, they don't seem to do anything that didn't have the monogram slapped all over it. But I was pleasently surprised at the quality of their bags and have decided that in addition to Valextra duffel bags and Marc Newson for Samsonite pullcases, the only way to travel is with a giant Goyard travel bag. This bag is available from Barneys for $1,690

Fashion Designer Tip of the Day, Scanty PJs, Couture in the City Fashion Blog

In an upcoming episode of The OC, Rachel Bilson was snapped in these irrisestably cute pajamas. Now I'm not suggesting you go out there and walk around the neighbourhood in them, but they certainly make for some cozy loungewear this winter. Rachel's pajamas are by Scanty and aren't available yet to the market but I love their Unicorn PJ set as below. After all, fashionistas must not only be best dressed whilst out on the town, but at ALL times, even when sleeping!


Available from Details for $74
