Celine


I love Zara‘s take right now on minimalism.

I bought two simple pieces:

Cobalt blue skimmers to run around the city with skinnies or dresses like these and a very soft Celine esq peach/orange leather shopper.  Devoid of all unnecessary detailing. No hardware.  No zips.  No logos.  Just soft leather.

I took the last picture of the three Celine bags at Barneys to show a quick comparison  (yes – they are lovely in real life too).

At the end of the day, when styled correctly you can so easily work the lower priced version if you can’t afford Celine.
