The Bright Side of Global Warming

Winter may still be bitter in Europe and the US, but avid fans of fashion are feeling the warmth of Spring. While designers presented reliable standbys of black and metallic accessories, most collections are bursting with color. Even Louis Vuitton, which usually doesn't stray far from its neutral color palette, looks enticingly spicy.

Question is, will the average Miss--with her practical armory of blacks, whites, browns and camels--bite? Somehow, I doubt that I'll see these purses in Greenhills anytime soon.

Oh, well.





Marc Jacobs' bag-in-a-bag. Appealing to both fashionistas and pickpockets.











Chanel's 2.55goes from wristlet to anklet.










Finally, a colorful LV monogram canvas for the post-Hello Kitty set.













Surprisingly, a Dolce & Gabbana that appeals to me--edge on edge on edge.
