Talking about bags: Mulberry‘s latest coup is called “Alexa” (named after noone lesser than fashion’s favourite girl Alexa Chung) and recalls some retro school bag-chic. To be honest, me and Alexa (referring to the bag here) wasn’t love at first sight. I thought it was pretty lame actually. But then I spotted it on one of the interns in my uber-chic office and changed my mind:-). Now I’d literally die to have one but of course Alexa is sold out EVERYWHERE. Well except for the yellow version which I stumpled upon at Heathrow airport (the only thing that saved me from splurging on a YELLOW bag was my closing gate! Thank God!). Despite a slight little confusion at times my heart is set on the oak buffalo-leather version. What do u think, fellow bag-lovers?

1. Lanvin landed a summer hit with its light-weight nylon totes. The fall version comes in gold, purple or black with cute flowers attached. € 527.00 at luisaviaroma.com
2. We like the flowery design of this Marc by Marc Jacobs canvas tote. $18 available only at Marc Jacobs stores.
3. If you were lucky enough to get your hands on one of the YSL Manifesto bags, this limited Stefano Pilati piece didn’t cost u a thing – if not, wait for September!
