The Chloe Marcie Bum Bag is a sportier, crossbody version of the Chloe Marcie satchel. It’s a classy leather bag in a lovely, rich red, but if I was going to spend the big bucks for a little purse, I’d be inclined to opt for something a little less trendy. As convenient and cute as the crossbody might be, I fear its days are numbered. But perhaps the smaller version is more budget friendly than …

 

The Marcie Embroidered Satchel by Chloe, made from warm caramel-colored leather that’s been given a light and airy look with perforations and embroidery, would be at home in fall, winter, spring, or whatever this is right now. The horseshoe shape is distinctive, and the signature bow-shaped buckles and rolled handles top it off. Neiman Marcus has this lucky bag on sale for $2195.   …

I am normally a fan of Reese Witherspoon’s style. Her everyday look is casual and care-free, sometimes with a little bit of boho mixed in. When I saw this photo, however, I was taken aback just a little bit. I suppose the blue and white woven top isn’t so bad by itself. It is those white jeans that are throwing me off. The outfit looks too matchy-matchy, as if the pieces came together as a set. But I suppose I can forgive her. After all, her taste in …

… leaving a salon with her flawless locks, her Black Orchid Black Jewel Skinny Jeans, and a lovely Chloe Marcie Satchel. As breezy and mellow as this look is, Ellen still looks vibrant, fresh and fabulous! Her style always comes across as genuine and subtle; she never overdoes any one accessory or overloads with too much of one color. She has a very fresh and elegant look, and it’s no surprise to me that she’d choose to sport a Marcie, a bag as refined and feminine as Ellen herself. Pick …

Chloe see, Chloe do. And I only wish I could do this See by Chloe Pansy Square Sipped Wallet. This leather wallet just screams “shoe me off, let others touch my snap pocket and caress my gold zipper”. But I’m possessive as all get out. So when I pull out my debit card from one of the eight interior slots, I just let others oogle with their eyes. Available from Shopbob for $195.

… you don’t see everyday! With its unusual scalloped edges and dainty bow decor, the See by Chloe Poya Crossbody Bag could easily be too sweet and girly. It manages to avoid that simply by being terracotta. The problem is it’s kind of a sickly, bland terracotta instead of a rich, dramatic one, so it doesn’t feel very feminine and, er, pretty. That said, it’s not ugly either – it’s just kind of the anti-girly bag. Available for $395 at NET-A-PORTER.

… Color me pink, red, yellow, purple…and surprised. This multi-hued Sequined Box Clutch by Chloe comes almost out of nowhere, so unexpected is its cheerful design.
