I found it only fitting and yet so small in comparison to give a tribute to a PIONEER in the industry we call Fashion. Yves St. Laurent started when he was a mere 17 years of age, and started at the House of Dior. At the ripe age of 21 after Dior’s death he was put in charge and put his mark on the world. He become known for his trapeze dress which started in the 60’s and reinvented itself today. It would take pages on pages to even begin to describe the 55 years of impact this man has had on fashion and women’s fashion at that.

The moment you see the shape and attention to detail you know you are looking at the YSL Oversized Muse Croco Bag, priced at $1595. The Croco-embossed patent leather is simply elegant. This bag will never go out of style; this will get you through years upon years and season after season. It is a staple in your handbag wardrobe.

Whatever you are wearing will look that much better when carrying this effortless YSL Muse Clutch priced at $1195. The Aquarelle lizard envelop clutch should really only come out on those special occasions (although our lives should always be a party) save this one for the moment you want all eyes on you!

Everyday we should feel as good as Yves designed. The YSL Mini Kahala Bag, priced at $545 is such an everyday bag. The denim bag with velvet is just perfection on your arm. No muss No fuss just pure design genius.

Thank you YSL – thank you for what you did for ladies fashion around the world. You will be deeply missed.

Be You! Be Fabulous!
