It is so much harder to do simple but it looks like that is Phillip Lim’s special talent. This minimalist hobo with super subtle painted hardware and double exterior pockets is incredibly chic and functional. The perfect teardrop shape is comfortable on the body and the gathers on the bottom add dimenesion and shape – totally love how it looks on! It is sleek and totally not a sloppy hobo, which I hate. It is put together for a put together girl, crunchy granola this is definitely NOT. In smooth calfskin with suede lining – this bag for $575 is an easy choice as our Cheap Thrill of the week. This also comes in black but you want to go white or all is lost with the design here. It is the ultimate summer bag for beach, weekends and sidewalk cafe lunches. You can see from this picture that this is a good size bag but it does not take over the body. At 15″ you can almost put a beach towel in there. Amazing! 3.1 Phillip Lim Mya Hobo at eluxury for $575.
