You haven’t missed the CR Fashion book’s tumblr right? I love the CR site and pretty much visit it every day since Roitfeld and her team cover everything from editorial fashion to the latest Daft Punk album and the Cannes Film Festival. In her editorial cover Carine puts a twist on wardrobe essentials. With model Xiao Wen, Roitfeld shows one of the most classical pieces of all time, a Chanel bag, in seven different ways. I love the fact that no matter what style you have, you can wear this timeless piece to it – from punk to hippie. The editorial is photographed by Max von Gumppenberg and Patrick Bienert, and styled by Carine herself.

The Berline bag
Say hello to this gorgeous shoulder bag from Hermès! The ‘Berline Bag’ was first introduced in Fall 2011, but I haven’t really put so much thought of it since now. The bag comes in eight different colours but this dark grey and white ones are my favourites. I like the idea of a shoulder bag with removable strap so that you could easily wear it as a clutch as well. And of course, the Kelly turnlock is a favourite of mine.
Freezing
It is freakishly cold right now and at the moment my biggest problem is to find clothes that keep me warm! Yes, I know, huge problem right? But it is. There are no cool or stylish outerwear that keeps me warm, nore shoes… Well, maybe there are but I am not in the mood for it. Speaking of outerwear, I just spotted these two gorgeous pieces from the Alexander Wang Resort 2013 collection. They just recently arrived at Browns Fashion and don’t you just love them? The bomber is way too cold for these temperatures, but it will look great for spring. Although the leather croco-embossed gilet is perfect for now! If you layer the vest to some chunky knits or maybe some fur. Anyway, Wang’s collections are hot stuff right now! Especially when him turning the Creative Director of Balenciaga. And that is…intriguing.
Vintage
If you are looking for a vintage Chanel piece, you’ll find it here. Quite lovely this one, the ‘Pouchette Quilted Bag’ in black with golden details.
