This bag registers so high on the style meter, it is redefining the word "chic"--literally. While on my myriad of Pre-Fall 2010 appointments (translation: the clothes that come out in July and August), I stopped in my tracks at YSL, whose accessories bowled me over. The divine chunky wedges aside, I was drawn to this vintage-inspired handbag. Stefano Pilati went military for pre-fall this year and this bag is the perfect complement to epaulettes, wide leg pants and belted jackets. Doesn't this bag look like something your mom carried when she was young? Who else is having a "Brady Bunch" moment? I love the saddle bag-esque shape of this bag and the antiquated hardware. Inside are roomy compartments that expand to accommodate your belongings. The "Y" insignia closure is also incorporated in a way that it's not garish whatsoever. While this bag also comes in suede, I love it in this leather version; it's rigid, durable and completely Marsha, Marsha, Marsha.
Price on request, available at YSL stores in mid-summer, www.ysl.com.

Remember Gerard Darel? We were all crazy for its bags in 2007 and scooped up several in Paris but the love has since fizzled due to the difficulty for us to get it stateside. Maybe Sarah Jessica can bring back the love now that Shop Rumor has the Flat Jack in stock. It's a good size as far as messenger bags go and the studs are small enough not to bother me but the giant zipper pulls are just too cumbersome for my taste. However, the price is decent if you're looking for a kick around bag that is trendy and fun.
