Etoile Has The Only Bag You Need This Season

If you think about it, a handbag is one of the most important purchases you make. And this purchase will have everyone talking about YOUR statement bag.

Your handbag is something you use EVERYDAY (so versatility and style are important) PLUS it needs to be functional (aka hold A LOT) and be made of quality materials so that it lasts.

Think carryall bags that optimize storage but don’t skimp on style. Forget about day-to-night, think of it more like a life-long relationship. I have handbags that lasted longer than a lot of relationships lol.

When I leave my house at the beginning of a work day, I basically have to bring everything I will need for the next 10-14 hours. Wallet, cell phone charger, makeup bag, notepad, glasses, mints, change of shoes, a snack, etc.

I usually put in a full work day (10 or more hours) then I may have an event or dinner to attend straight after work. Therefore, I need my big bag for the day yet I don’t really want to lug the whole thing with me to Happy Hour.

This is when the conundrum begins, do I bring a smaller bag too or do I just lug “biggie” in with me and perch her on a chair like she’s my date?

What’s the secret to the perfect “life-long” bag?

Luxury handbag designer Annye Grande (Grande like Grand Canal Shoppes) asked herself these same questions and came back with an answer in the form of her own handbag brand, etoile.

Etoile Has The Only Bag You Need This Season.

From a casual outing to a fancy cocktail event, Etoile bags grant you the ultimate modern luxury: convenience.

Not just one bag- each of her creations gives you THREE BAGS! Yes THREE Bags in one bag! A bag that truly takes you from desk to dinner. It’s designed to hold all your daily essentials and then easily convert to evening. A multi-tasking bag for a multi-tasking gal!

My favorite is etoile’s Rachel Medium Boa.

Here’s how it works:

The top zipper is separated so that the bag can unzip ALL THE WAY and open wide. Plenty of room to fit everything you need! PLUS the top flap has a magnetic closure which keeps everything safe inside.

The top leather trim can be folded into the bag so that the tote becomes an open carryall.

Each bag comes with a wide leather strap and a matching detachable clutch which can be hung from the strap and converted into the BEST CROSSBODY BAG. Hello Happy Hour!

They even have a super convenient “where has this been all my life” pocket in the back for your cell phone.

Tote, carryall and crossbody all on one! You could even take it one step further and use the clutch without the strap. Yep, that makes FOUR bags in one bag! What? FOUR Handbags from just one bag? Yes I said that correctly, FOUR! That’s why etoile is THE place you need to go to buy your bag this season.

Find your statement life-long bag at etoile located in The Grand Canal Shoppes inside The Venetian Resort Las Vegas.

Comme des Garçons Play x Converse

My heart has been stolen by Comme des Garçons Play Chucks.

After being on a waitlist for what seemed like FOREVER I finally got to slip my foot into a pair of Comme des Garçons Play x Converse.

I have been ogling these babies for awhile now and finally pulled the trigger when I saw these cute khaki low tops! Playful but designer you will be seeing me in these on repeat.

In case you haven’t joined the cult that is CDG yet, here’s a little info:

Comme des Garçons was founded by Japanese designer Rei Kawakubo, and launched by Kawakubo in 1969. The brand came into global prominence in the ’80s with its dismantled, unconstructed approach to design.

COMME des GARÇONS PLAY, the brand’s more casual luxury line, was launched in 2002. It became immediately recognizable from its iconic peeping heart logo, designed by Polish artist Filip Pagowski.

The first-ever Converse x Comme des Garçon project released in 2009, but became more readily available during the 2015 release. Combining the simplicity of Converse and the exuberant design aspects of Comme des Garçons the collaboration became an immediate hit. Since then the eye-catching heart logo has become recognizable around the globe and has garnered a cult following of both celebrates and fashion aficionados.

These kicks sell out as faster than stores can stock them. New limited edition designs are launched each season making them highly coveted by sneaker collectors.

Known for their lace-up style for a glove-like fit and silver-tone eyelet hardware for a hint of glimmer. They have a thick sole for added comfort, as well as a comfy cloud-like removable insole that you can wear with or without.. I recommend WITH!

CDG chucks are the perfect way to step up your everyday look.
