Shiny Red Things

Lately, I’ve been attracted to red patent shoes and handbags. This is possibly due to my conscious decision to wear yellow this spring and, not being ready to go whole hog on yellow, wanting to pair it with red and silver. Go figure. I don’t know how that came about. But I do like red. So even without yellow, my eyes would have been drawn to these beauties anyhow:

OK, I’ve bashed Louis Vuitton before but this Brentwood in vernis leather is pretty. And how can you not love this color called pomme d’amour (French for “love apple”)? I know I’m not getting this though because stubborn me has already set my eyes on a non-patent red leather bag and I already have a red Houston.

This Marni Balloon Bag in the colors Fire and Cigar looks like a fun bag. It’s made of varnished leather (another term for patent) with calfskin corners attached with studs. It’s already sold out but stock will be replenished soon. The large is too big at 23.4 x 18 inches though. ShoppingNerd bought the mini (lucky gal!) and it looks like a manageable size for me. Now if only I could get my grubby hands on one! If not, I’ll stick to Plan A and get the red leather bag that shall remain nameless for now.

I just spotted these Belle by Sigerson Morrison ‘4325′ Flats today. I love the contrast white piping. They are on pre-order at Nordstrom and will ship in two weeks. Unfortunately for me, but happily for my wallet, sizes start at size six (did you know that my feet are small?).

Same thing with these Belle by Sigerson Morrison ‘4319′ Flats. They look so cute, don’t you think?
