Return of the bag charm

A few years ago, bag charms were even bigger news that It bags. You just couldn't move for cutesy trinkets dangling from the straps of Mulberrys, Chloes and Fendis. Well guess what? The bag charm is making a comeback. If you don't believe us, check out Alexa Chung and her new Louis Vuitton Speedy.

As we all know, where Alexa leads, everyone follows...

Perfect ponytails

Hairbrushes at the ready girls, Louis Vuitton decrees ponytails for AW10. High, sleek and shiny - we adore it!

Petit Prada

Ah, how we adore a miniature beauty product. So useful, so cute, so fun! And this Prada handbag-sized bottle of its L'eau Ambree fragrance is crying out for an invitation into our Louis Vuitton bumbag (we wish). Perfect for the summer 'glamping' season, it even has a natty keyring to attach to belt loops while on the go.

Farmyard friends

We can't get enough of cutesy little coin purses and wallets right now, especially when they are as fun and animal-shaped as these. Louis Vuitton has produced a charming collection of coin purses, clutch bags, keyrings and scarves using these playful farmyard motifs. Cluck cluck!





Purses, £205, from 14th January.

Are we ready to bring back bum bags?

Sheesh, we're in a quandary. Should we be scared or excited about the impossible-to-ignore return of the bum bag for next season? Because they're back in a big way, and in Louis Vuitton's case, an XXXL way. Amongst the colossal furry tails and hairy clogs at LV's ss10 press day we couldn't miss this double-trouble helping of bumbag - yep two for the price of one.


The following day we spotted these natty numbers at River Island, talk about showing some love for LV!




This floral bumbag by Sabrina Dehoff at Urban Outfitters is growing on us (pun intended)...


This Marc by Marc bumbag is almost elegant...


The verdict? We're still undecided. Ask us again in 2010.

Louis Vuitton Gets Festive

Never mind the panto-themed Christmas windows at the front of Selfridges, we're more interested in what they've sneaked along the side - a neon-light fest of Louis Vuitton! As if that's not enough, the Selfridges Wonder Room is currently hosting a special selection of festive-flavoured LV from now until January - we're loving the candy-coloured patent handbags and who-cares-if-it's-not-sunny fun-glasses.
