Sarah Jessica Parker: School Run Stylish

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010 at 10:15 pm

Even for just an early morning school run, actress Sarah Jessica Parker still keeps it fresh and stylish.

The Sex and the City star was spotted walking her son to school early last May in a casual but chic outfit that consisted of folded up jeans, a scarf around her neck, a classic black pullover, and some comfy chucks.

Her finishing touches included some uber cool sunglasses and a piece of elegant looking woven straw tote trimmed with black leather.

I have yet to ID the bag; I have a strong feeling it’s a Marc Jacobs but I could be wrong. I will keep you posted on it.

It is quite a lovely piece. Nothing show stopping really, but it looks very classy and clean; and I like classy and clean.

If you want it, try getting the same look with these more affordable pieces; because I’m sure the one on SJP will cost you more than just a couple of hundreds:

Heading to the beach this summer? Don’t forget to bring the Lacoste Summer Wave Shopping Bag!

It’s a bright and fresh creation from Lacoste that will surely make the young and the young at heart look cool and preppy. What’s interesting about it? Well, it’s made of woven canvas strips, definitely not your usual canvas tote for summer!

The bag is just the perfect accessory to go with your bikini…or perhaps your tennis outfit should you decide to head to the court instead.

The Lacoste Summer Wave Shopping Bag comes in two colors – Strawberry Sorbet (Red) and Midnight Black. Both are available at Zappos.com for an accessible US$172

A Look Back at Beyonce’s Christian Dior Samourai 1947

Back in 2008 (in other words ages ago), Beyonce was spotted carrying an uber chic purple woven bag.

Here’s a closer look at the bag.

Dior Samourai 1947 Woven Frame Bag

If you’re a designer bag junkie, then I’m sure you know what this Dior is made of. For those unaware, it is actually made of…surprise! Woven leather!

I know, I initially thought it was made of wicker too, but alas, I was wrong.

Despite the material however, everything about it seems to spell stiff. I am sure a lot of work was put into making the bag; it looks very unique and intricate. But the price tag of US$3,900 is just a little too much to digest. That amount actually costs more than all of my bags combined.

Anyway, if you want something artful and fancy like the Dior Samourai, go for these beautiful and tastefully done Capelli Creations instead.

These cost less than US$60 dollars! Now the Dior Samourai can’t beat that!
