Don’t get me wrong, I love my Hobo International wallets, but when I want to finally buy a classic, last-forever, go-with-everything wallet, it will be the Comme des Garcons Embossed Zip Wallet 
.

I love Zooey basics. I bought a henley style top by Zooey a couple of years ago; it’s worn out now, the hem started coming out at the bottom, but it’s still a decent layering top. I also have a fleece wrap jacket that is very nice. Anyway, I always look at James Perse, Splendid, and Zooey for basics and as I was browsing Revolve just now, this caught my eye (how could it not!):
I love it! The yellow is eye-popping, and would look great with dark denim. The problem with yellow is that I would never want to pair it with black…too bumblebee-ish. But this looks like a darker yellow, maybe it would work? Not with black bottoms, but maybe black accessories if necessary? Hmmm….
So, when I mentioned my lust for the velvet “heart” hobo by Martine Sitbon when I introduced some of his Fall 2007 bags, you guys must have thought I was crazy. I couldn’t find a link, and my description was probably less than adequate. Anyway, no, I am not crazy, because here it is in a luxurious leather version!
Gorgeous, isn’t it? I found it at a new (to me anyway) online jewelry and handbags boutique: Muse Ten.

Although I am not a vegan (anymore), I appreciate the efforts of those who are, and thank goodness they can now carry fashionable handbags. Matt & Natt have been around as vegan handbag designers for awhile, but this is the first season I’ve found something that I would buy! The Interpol tote is much more versatile than it looks – the straps are removable, and you can carry it as a clutch, or by the handles at the top of the bag. And the color is fabulous; great for Fall and beyond.
Find this at Luna Boston, and take 20% off with code ‘grechen.’
