Mauve Mood

Gucci Fulham with braided handle in mauve for Spring 08

Interesting variation on Gucci’s popular Fulham model–patent leather in a grey/mauve colour that could almost be a neutral. I say almost because with the lighting these in-store alcoves are fitted with, it’s hard to really tell what hue is going to project in the light of day. Remind me of this when I’m buying that twelfth tube of red lipstick. What you see is often NOT what you get.

A nice touch is the versatile not too silver-not too gold hardware. It’s very ‘is it or isn’t it’ which makes the bag go a few extra miles in that arena also.

Having said that, I’d recommend that if you do opt to shell out the $1800 for this season’s Gucci–do it someplace that will give your money back to you (as opposed to the Boutiques that often take a ‘you-bought-it-three-minutes-ago—now-it’s-yours-sorry’ attitude). Just a thought in case that mauve mood is moodier in the light of day.

INDY 500??

‘HOT LEGS–I love you, Honey……’
This should get you humming Rod Stewart. And, there’s nothing he appreciates more than a blond in a black suede mini skirt (and, you know, I respect that about him.)

Gucci black suede Indy bag

Gucci’s Indy bag (from last season) that is carried forth as a new staple for their line. My God, it’s even being sold in Tampa (now you know it’s mainstream, America, anyway.) This version features the black suede body-also done in a mosaic and more couture version for you connoisseurs–with vermilion and mauve patent accents. Let’s not forget the bamboo logo tassels and a handle that looks like it was pried off a ‘67 Mustang.

Toss that in the mix with the black MINI skirt featuring the same embellishments and well, HOT DAMN (and Hot Legs) you have an Ensemble.

Wonder if the PTA of Tampa is quite ready for this……
