I heart the “So Kelly”, my fave from the list! I also liked Chloe python bag and Fendi’s brief case like bag.. which I’m not sure of its name. and Bottega’s Cabat is such an investment piece.
Great post.. we need to see more accessories
Sweet list! The Marc Jacobs Bruna in particular is one heck of a showstopper. I wonder how much it is, more or less $4k perhaps?
