Sale: Yves Saint Laurent Downtown handbag

Category : paris

Where can you buy a genuine Yves Saint Laurent bag for under $500?
Right here!


My boss bought this
YSL Yves Saint Laurent Downtown bag, but it’s too big for her – so she’s selling it to a lucky buyer/bidder for only $450.




As you can see from the pictures it’s a big carry-all type handbag, with the characteristic Yves Saint Laurent styling. It’s brand spanking new and she’s willing to ship worldwide!!!


This is a great deal for a quality handbag, I can supply more information on request. Store prices go for $1196 at www.bluefly.com

Did I tell you guys I went to the Yves Saint Laurent sample sale here in Paris a couple days ago?!
My God it was overwhelmingly amazing!( will post pics soon)

I left with two handbags, two pairs of shoes, a pair of boots, oxfords for my hubby and sunglasses. Yes, my pocket is burning – but as Sarah Jessica Parker puts it in Sex and the City; “I like my money where I can see it… hanging in my closet.” But this post is not about me:

The YSL Downtown bag is the ultimate designer handbag, and on deep deep discount at that – Leave comments with any questions, comments, and of course bids!

Yves Saint Laurent Dies at 71

Category : paris


Today June 2nd it was announced that Iconic French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent passed away. The news was delivered by longtime friend Pierre Berge.
Coincidentally, its sample sale season here in Paris, and guess which sample sale this lady was in attendance? I heard of his passing on the way to the sample sale in Montrouge.

I figured I really have to get something now, you know in honor of the late great. And that I did , i bought a pair of peach and white lather stilettos circa 2004 ( I’m guessing, don’t ask me what they were still doing with shoes from back in the hay day, i really didn’t care as they were whispering my feet and calling my name to rescue them from this unstable sample sale home. So i did and now they are chez moi!

More info on Yves Saint Laurent:
Saint Laurent was born August 1, 1936, in Oran, Algeria.
He changed the way modern women dressed. His introduction of the tailored men’s suit type for women was a big hit and revolutionized the way women dressed.

At the young age of 21 after the death of Christian Dior, he was put in charge to run things in 1957.

He left Dior in 1961 and opened his own couture house, in 1962.

In 1999, he sold the rights to the YSL brand to Gucci for $70 million, and Tom Ford designed the ready-to-wear collection while Saint-Laurent designed the haute couture collection.

The Associated Press reports that “

After retirement, Saint Laurent spoke of his battles with depression, drugs and loneliness, though he gave no indication that those problems were directly tied to his decision to stop working.

“I’ve known fear and terrible solitude,” he said. “Tranquilizers and drugs, those phony friends. The prison of depression and hospitals. I’ve emerged from all this, dazzled but sober.”"

His funeral is set to take place this Thursday at the Saint Roch Church in central Paris.

Seeing Shades of Grey…

Category : Uncategorized

Grey has never been more attractive to me than it is now. It was up there at the top of my “Hell No” list right along with black as one of my least favorite shades/color to wear. Until cupid struck my poor little fashionable heart with these cute grey booties.. it was love at first try.

They whispered to me at Eva on Mulberry St. (seriously:) And you know I’m usually the type of chica to look at a price tag before I try something on, because Heaven forbid I fall deep in love and cant afford it. This one’s price tag was $396. I immediatlty made about ten resolutions to work harder, cut back on some partying, Goddamn cut back on some food. Yes, I said it! I will starve my lil petootie for these suede booties…look at Nicole Richie, she’s still alive, right!

Eva, 227 Mulberry Street, 212-925-3208.
