Gucci Soho Leather Bag Review

Nothing says 'I Love You!', 'Happy birthday', 'Happy anniversary!' like a Gucci bag. 

The first thing that will catch your attention is definitely the large embossed engraved logo in the center which screams 'Luxury in Excess!'


Upon purchase, it comes in a large box with 2 envelopes and a dust bag. The Gucci Soho Leather Bag is an oversized bag, the structure tends to balloon out once you carry it over your shoulder. If you're walking around or just shopping about, this bag besides being a showstopper, has an imposing presence. Its not a low-key bag with an elegance that would grow on you. You either have to love or hate this bag on first sight. Its not for everyone, I think its the kind of luxury bag that suits a certain personality.

If you're a bulky hauler, this is the bag for you! Like if you can't leave the house without possibly everything you can cram in it, then cram everything in it - the Gucci Soho Leather Bag has room for everything. It looks large and full all the time, and conveniently works as a wrist bag and everyday carry-on.

The Gucci Soho Leather Bag distinct features:
  - Tassle detail
  - 5 gold studs in the bottom or metal feet
  - Light gold hardware on the handles
  - Interlocking G clasps to close the bag
  - Fine bag interior with natural cotton lining plus two pockets and a zipper pocket on the interior sides.
Here's a notable thing about the Gucci Soho, there's no zipper to keep it close, there's just a hook or the interlocking Gs, or the clasps that click together. The sides once interlocked, the bag's shape becomes a curvy triangular purse.

Also it’s not the kind of bag I would advise you should to stroll around in a crowded place, as its very wide open and people can have easy access to your bag's contents like your wallet. I would say this bag is more of show piece than a secure carry-on bag.

If you love to indulge in designer bags and Pre Owned Designer Clothes or whatever suits your pocket and if you want to treat yourself to something regal yet functional then go for the Gucci Soho Leather Bag.

Dolce & Gabbana One Perfume Features Emilia Clarke

Here's to a new face endorsing an atelier's parfum line, not a novel idea, but a good idea either way. Who doesn't love the fierce Mother of Dragons Emilia Clarke?


Though the Terminator franchise which she starred in has been sadly dropped because Old Arnie doesn't want to sign up to another CGI reboot of his body. So hence, no more sweaty and agile Sarah Connor for now.

But if you still want a whiff of Emilia, she's endorsing a brand new celebrity scent, as the new face of Dolce & Gabbana’s the One beginning in September 2017, along with a new eau de toilette version of the perfume. Oh yes, yes!


Ironically, her Game of Thrones possible blood brother and rival to the Iron Throne Kit Harington is the face of the One for Men. Which begs the question, what does a man from Castle Black smell like after a day at the Wall? You can bet Kit Harrington's sexy ass he smells great!


Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana has this to say about good 'ol Emilia:
 “Emilia Clarke embodies perfectly the Dolce & Gabbana woman: she is radiant and lively. Her personality and natural beauty will capture the essence of this new campaign: joyful, spontaneous and full of life.”
Kudos to D&G because we can't stand another Emma Watson endorsement. She seems to be just all over, and I wouldn't be surprise to find her face on a ketchup bottle. Though she does make a lovely Belle!

Previous One endorsers were Scarjo and our fave heartthrob The McConaissance.

Victoria Beckham Surprises Fashion School with a Visit

When students of the Condé Nast College of Fashion & Design were told that they would have a visitor, they would've never imagined that it would be Victoria Beckham.

As she arrived to meet the students in the auditorium, she said, "I hope I'm not a disappointment." The excited murmurs of the people around her and their rapt attention to her lecture would prove otherwise.

After the lecture, a lengthy Q&A followed wherein the students peppered her with questions about work, family life and the important lessons she has learned in her career.

The visit was deemed a success and the lucky students who were fortunate enough to be around during the visit will surely take Victoria Beckham's lessons to heart.

Choosing the Right Pair of Jeans: Get that Super Leggy Shape

NY Moto Zip Skinny in Vintage Black
If you want to look long and lean in jeans and your goal is just to look hot while wearing pumps. Choose a pair with a dark wash and a side seam that's closer to the front of the leg.

Check out these pair- SILVER JEANS CO: Suki Slim Fit Mid Rise in Faded Indigo Embellished


A skinny cut of course works, but a skinny cut with a seam on the front creates an optical illusion, tricking the eye giving your leg a slimmer silhouette.

Céline Fur Sandals: The New Flip Fluffs!

The allure of having Muppet feet have finally spilled into the runways this year.

UK fashion designer Phoebe Philo's Birkenstock monstrosity is a hit and a turnaround for flipflops at the cost of £400-£600 a pair.


How long can you keep the fur fluffy? After some time and enough toe muck expect the furry ends to go stiff.


Kinda gross when you think about it.
