Diane Kruger’s 3.1 Phillip Lim Edie Bow Purse

I would so love to raid Diane Kruger’s closet. I absolutely love her edgy-feminine style — even when she’s sporting bags like this 3.1 Phillip Lim Edie Bow Purse ($755, from Lim’s Fall 2009 collection), which is not totally my cup of tea, I think she rocks it. I’m not loving the droopy bow on the bag’s front flap, but I like the detail on the strap and the gold studs which look like small flecks of gold! The purse is a nice complement to Kruger’s conservative dress and flats and the price seems right. Plus couldn’t you totally imagine Edie Sedgwick having worn this purse? Now there’s a style icon! What do you think about the Edie Bow Purse? Snob or Slob?

I really like the Emilio Pucci Bean-shaped hard clutch (left, $1,385), but I can’t look at it without thinking that it’s a knock-off of Elsa Peretti’s bean. I know that similarities like this come up all the time — especially these days when it has almost become all too acceptable for designers to knock each other off — but Peretti’s bean is so iconic and so prevalent that Pucci’s bag almost strikes me as insulting, especially since it’s done in a high-shine metallic. That said the shape is great and given its curvatures it looks like it would be easy to carry despite its hard outer shell. I’m also loving the navy metallic color for fall.What do you think about this Pucci clutch?
