Yesterday I had to run a few errands and somehow ended up in Bloomingdale's at the Chestnut Hill Mall. I was cutting through the store with great purpose when these three bags stopped all forward momentum. My eyes grew wide, out came the iPhone, and the lusting began (more after the jump).
The first two toes are Stella McCartney. The one above (which I strangely couldn't find on the Bloomingdale's website, so I went for the Bergdorf link) is awesome. I love the little dude surfing on the right upper corner. It gives off a "I don't care if this is garish, because I'm confident enough to carry around a bag decorated with hibiscus flowers and palm trees. Deal with it." In all seriousness, though, I also happen to think the design of the print is beautiful; it's abstract enough and composed carefully enough that it manages to be elegant while maintaining a delightful tackiness.
The second Stella bag below is a bit more subtle, but shares the spunk of the first. They're both perfect for summer, though at over $600, I won't be buying them.
Then, despite knowing I had to get out of Bloomingdales before something awful (like a purchase) happened, I came across the MZ Wallace Camo Oxford Nylon Large Metro Tote (long name...yikes). At $195 it's cheaper (though still an investment) than the two Stella totes above and just as cool. This one screams, "I like to be military chic in a very safe and padded manner." Which could arguably be the best way to go about being militarily chic. Unless you're actually in the military.
