edgy, classic, fab & glam in MCM

i'm impressed by all the cool collections and collaborations MCM is doing these days

all of their bags are getting transformed just more edgier and colorful

which i loveee

every woman/girl should invest in bags that are elegant

in such great quality that it can last forever

and be passed down to your daughters, granddaughters

it's good to have every trendy item for season to season

but i prefer the lines that are wearable and are one-of-a-kinds...

MCM X Patricia Field collaboration

who doesn't love gold glitters?

he's Dongho from a group called U-Kiss (from S. Korea)

he's a singer and an actor here (only 16 turning 17 this year)

i love his backpack can be seen on the left side both above and below pics

it's patricia field line (and I've heard that the line is limited edition

so it is definitely worth to invest in)

backpack in green

he carried it around all day long because he had two free days

from all these hectic schedules

love the color because it is very "in" the military trend

and i prefer carrying chic backpacks over the carriers just like Dongho did

also available in black

looks masculine b/c of the lion but also very rocker chic feminine because of the painted details

in shoppers

[i personally love shoppers so much because it is school-appropriate and also for work & travels

definitely an everyday bag]

also recommends this weekend bag for mens line

doesn't look too stiff because as you can see

the bag is structured so sleek and softly

looks kind of light-weighted but will have to check it out yourself to see if it is

if the bag is heavy by itself, then it will just make the travel and work harder

i prefer everything carry-ons in darker shades

because lighter shades can easily get marked and cut out by sharp edges

(a.k.a the walls, your pen, bracelets' gems, and all the busy people running into each others on the streets in rush hours]

just love the leopard backpack so much

it is perfect because the gold details are there

without them can be looked overdone

from spring 11 line

want that blue one

[as you all know blue is one of the hottest color this season

seen from celine clutches in so many fashionistas' hands

and all the aquamarine shades from makeups etc.]

also from ss11 line

at first i thought it was a tank

but it's a bag and i like it even more

i would wear it with a maxidress, jumpsuit, romper, or with a bikinis

and remember the orange net jacket seen from January post 

of "can't live without music?"

worn with this kind of light chiffon tunic (mine is from H&M)

will look perfect too

[this pic. is from an article back last summer

he's Dongho worked as a daily chef for a program called "Chef's Kiss"

I went with my aunt to check out his tuna steak

was soooo good!]

candy colors

this looks more sophisticated and polished

[for well thought-out outfits

& perfectionists]

leighton meester and marvin scott jarrett

i want a bigger MCM doll :)

f/w 10 line

i would wear this kind with a knitted sweater & bold leather pants

or with furry outerwear to a short/long dress

in Korea every new year or for gifts

people believe that red brings luck and money?

so when you get a new wallet some will prefer red-ish ones?

but i prefer pink because it kind of faded light..from red too in a way right?

so pretty

i would wear it like a clutch

with this kind of outfit (of mine below on right)

or to take it alone or put in a shopper like

Michelle Trachtenberg

two Michelle's?

this is MCM flagship store in Seoul, Korea

in Chungdam-dong

the parties held at for launches and promotions
