Chocolate is just not for candy anymore. I happen to love the color brown it comes and goes with the seasons and it never really gets the proper tribute – till now! I have to say that I love the way that brown sort of goes with everything (except black) sorry, I just can’t get past it, and I happen to have a fantastic LV bag that combines black and brown; that for me is the only way it works. Anyway here we have some of the MUST have for the fall coming although, any of these to me would work now.

You have the Napa Patch Tote, Caramel by Miu Miu; doesn’t it look like yummy pillows of fudge - which comes with a detachable shoulder strap, will run you $1,445 not bad considering the multiple seasons of use you will get out of this. The Heloise Shopper by Chloe coming in at $1,670 (which was seen on Nicole Richie the day she was sentenced in court) but looks more like a Hershey Bar with almonds. Saving the best for last the Chocolate Guccissima Leather Tote by Gucci (crème de la crème) priced accordingly at $1,820 – but will last a whole lot longer then the 12lb box of Godiva and for some taste better.

So thank you to all the designers for finally paying attention to a color that really is just fantastic! Again have fun with your bags and always do what works for you – like that Gucci for me may become an item added to the collection. Be You – Be Fabulous
