The Hermes Kelly

In my obsession with everything French today we're going to discuss the Hermes Kelly. The origins of the Kelly first appeared, in its original form in the 1930’s but it wasn’t until 1956 that it truly became a star. Grace Kelly, the Morocco princess of the time had particular interest to it. Grace Kelly favored the handbag style when she was pregnant, because it initially allowed her to hide her pregnancy from the paparazzi.

The Hermes Kelly handbag is a top handle style that you carry by hand. They are roughly rectangular in shape and function in a similar way to an envelope. With the width wider at the bottom and quite narrow and sleek looking at the top. They feature a flap that comes over the top and fastens with a lock. They are available in several different sizes. A regular sized Kelly handbag starts at round $7000 US dollars and can go well above $25,000 US dollars depending on the color, leather type and other details. They are one of Hermes most expensive handbags following closely on the heels of the Birkin. New Hermes Kelly bags must be ordered from Hermes stores (assuming you get on the waiting list).

Parasols: A Wonderful Accessory!

Parasols can be a lovely accent to add to your wedding. With their pretty designs and romantic old-fashioned feeling, paper parasols are quite charming.

From beach wedding to Victorian soirée, whatever your bridal style there’s a parasol or umbrella to match.

On a hot summer day, parasols can be a nice thing for your bridesmaids to carry in lieu of flowers. Even if you do not want to have anyone actually carry a parasol down the aisle, they can make a nice prop for photos later on.

For the outdoor wedding, guests will appreciate parasols, as they often arrive early for the ceremony and must sit in the warm sun.

Or try placing parasols at the end of the main aisle in buckets for guests to take as needed, or alongside each seating row. This will provide guests with the perfect shade in elegance!

Christian Louboutin

With his signature red sole, Christian Louboutain helped bring the stiletto back into fashion. The designer's professed goal is to “make a woman look sexy, beautiful, to make her legs look as long as [he] can.”

Louboutin received inspiration for his lethal-looking stilettos from an incident that occurred in his early twenties. He had visited a museum and noticed that there was a sign that forbade women to enter while wearing sharp stilettos, for fear of damage to the extensive wood flooring. This image stayed in his mind, and he later used this idea in his designs. "I wanted to defy that," Louboutin has said. "I wanted to create something that broke rules and made women feel confident and empowered."

Christian Louboutin's designs have gained popularity among socialites and celebrities, several of whom have made public appearances sporting the signature red soles.
