This week I found it hard to find a new IT bag because there are so many but the Gucci Belt Bag is a classic IT bag. I think this bag should be called Madonna because its re-invented itself so much. Gucci have re-invented it again for their Cruise line with bright vibrant colors blue and pink. I know that lots of tPF members favour this bag and I myself have it in denim from a few seasons back. I love just walking around not having to hold anything. It is such a popular bag that you have to have one, I bought mine after seeing Carrie from Sex and the City with hers. It can even be worn across your back like a messenger. I find it useful for everyday use and think it?s a steal at $395 for the smaller version. The Gucci belt bag has Front pocket with Velcro flap closure, front pocket with zip closure, rear zip pocket and adjustable waist or shoulder strap. The smaller version measures 9.5?? x 5.1?? and the largest version measures 11.5?? x 7??. This bag comes in a fabulous range of colors. Available on Gucci.com.
The question of the day is “Do you wear matching designer accessories?” For example, same designer shoes, handbags, glasses, jewelery, belt, scarf, etc? I realized that my closet is full of designer accessories, but not many matching accessories. Definitely need to put a stop to this! There is a fine line between over-logo over-matching and just the right combination. For a perfect combination, check out the Gucci Tote and Boots which remind me of riding days (ah yes, equestrian is stylish right now). The Gucci Medium Top-Handle Tote has vintage appeal with the GG detailing surrounded by supple brown Italian leather and the detachable shoulder strap. The dimensions of this bag are perfect for everyday wear at 12 4/5″H x 16 4/5″W x 2″D. Being 5′10, finding low heeled or no heeled but still chic boots is nearly impossible. These Gucci Black Leather Flat Boots are trimmed in chocolate brown leather and present a sophisticated equestrian touch. Buy the Tote for $1650 and the boots for $960 through Neiman Marcus.
