Review Coach X Keith Haring Rogue 25 & Frame Pouch




A week has gone by and the pain of losing Sherlock is still the same. I've been participating in retail therapy. I purchased these two Coach items since the hearts reminded me of Sherlock's love. Kinda cheesy, but it's true.  For spring 2018, Coach released a few items using Keith Haring's artwork. Keith Haring is an artist from the 80s known for his graffiti style and bold colors. It's an interesting pairing that I think is geared towards the younger crowd. I may not be as young as I once was but I'll always be young at heart.


This frame pouch is made made of super fluffy pebbled leather. The sequins on the heart is made out of leather. It's a very nice nice if you ask me. There's also glitter all around the heart. It's playful and kind of quirky, but I like that. The color is a gunmetal gray metallic.

Two tea roses make up the kiss lock closure.




The inside is lined with soft leather. The card slots are too tight to be functional, but if you place the cards on the inside compartment it works. It will fit a dozen cards or so, plus some cash and receipts. I don't carry coins anymore, but if you had some that should work also.

Tea rose detailing at the sides.

Overall, it's a very high quality piece and I like it a lot. I'm not quite sure I'll keep it because I'm afraid the leather sequins will eventually get caught on other items in my bag and fall off or get damaged. For $175 it's quite expensive, but not as expensive as say my other McQueen card cases. My husband says McQueen all the way. What do you guys think?


The Rogue 25 isn't made of the same leather as the frame pouch, which is disappointing. The tote is made of smooth glovetanned leather. The color is also a metallic blue-gray that's also burnished. 


The leather actually looks and feels quite plastic-y in person. It looks fantastic in the photos but in real life it doesn't feel as high quality as my other Coach 1941 pieces. The bag also has a chemically smell to it which I assume is from being treated with a metallic finish. The inside of the bag is lined with burgundy colored leather. 


 Compared to my black tea rose Rogue, it's just not as nice. I slept on it for a night and decided the next morning I didn't love it enough to keep. For $650 it better be up to my expectations! I'm still thinking about the frame pouch.



It's a cute bag, but it wasn't a must have for me. I'm also eyeing this camera style bag that's a pre-order from Saks. I assume Coach will eventually have it on their website as well. I love the detailing and the color. It's the same color as the tote but the style of the bag makes it look more vintage.


There's also a pink version without the crystals for almost half the price. It even comes with an extra shoulder strap. 


That's all for me! Hope everyone had a nice and relaxing weekend. I'm still waiting for my Lululemon order to arrive. I am anxiously waiting for the so merlot Align Crops and the FTBW bra in quicksand.

Review! Coach Soft Empire Carryall 40 Merlot

  I am super excited about this review! This has been the most anticipated Coach bag since The Rogue came out. At least for me. When I first saw this bag on the purseblog , my eyes widened and I was immediately obsessed. The Soft Empire Carryall comes in four sizes. Size 48 is ridiculously big, I cannot pull it off, but the 40? Perfect. Size 35 and 26 just doesn't give off the same wow factor. This bag is meant to be a statement piece and head turner. Kudos to Stewart Vevers for creating another hit that everyone will be obsessing over for a long time. I hear that more colors will be released soon, and I am hoping the distressed lived-in version will not be exclusive to size 48. In case it doesn't happen, I'll be using my Empire 40 as much as I can to give it a distressed look myself.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and please check out my video to see what fits! Coach Empire 40 Merlot This bag is huge, it's definitely the biggest bag in my collection. ...

Review! Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Size Small Plus Video

  You all know I love my bags, and as a Balenciaga collector, I don't often stray from the City and First style. The Rodeo (pronounced like Rodeo Drive) really caught my eye. It gives off a slouchy Hermes Kelly vibe, but way more practical to use.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Small The Rodeo can be carried a few ways. It comes with a crossbody strap that is not adjustable but it is removable. Not sure why anyone wouldn't add a few extra holes to make a strap adjustable these days. Come on Balenciaga! Do better! The top handle is a bit too long for this to work anyhow, I feel like the top handle gets in the way. It sticks out and doesn't sit well in my opinion. I wouldn't carry this bag crossbody unless it was an unforeseen emergency and I really needed my hands free. This bag looks more chic carried by the handle or crook of the arm. It also looks nice left open with the help of the flap tucked in. The Rodeo resembles the Kelly bag ...
