I am lusting after these woven handbags from Marni's Spring/Summer 2013 collection. Woven raffia and patent leather are trimmed with leather and accented with metal hardware. Perfect for your retro looks this Spring!

Oh Prada, you are always On My Wish List and never in my closet!

I want them all!

Last week I presented the Chanel mini-film Train de Nuit. This week's inspiration is Dior's The Lady Noire, (chapter 1; The Lady Noire Affaire). Just under 7 minutes, this film/advert takes us back to the film noir days of the 40's with intriguing music, dark shadows, and a confusing plot.
