Jessie's my girl


Can I tell you...about how much I love Jessica Alba. She's one of those girls who never looks like she was styled by someone else, never tries too hard and has never worn anything inappropriate. She always looks like the easy, breezy cover girl that she is. She wears fashion, not the other way around. She's also the kind of girl that other girls like to emulate. One of the obvious reasons that I love her is because she seems to love me or at least my designs.
She was recently caught by the paparazzi wearing the Maggie washed buffalo tote. This bag is one of my best sellers. It has 5 outside pockets, an inside zipper and PDA pockets and roomy enough to schlep work stuff, an extra pair of shoes and even a bottle of water. The bag is washed and tumbled after it's made so it has a distressed, rugged look that all the Hollywood A listers love. It's the kind of bag that doesn't require a lot of maintenance. The more beat up it gets the better it looks. Disheveled chic! Who doesn't love that. Jessica certainly does.
Don't wait. Shop now while supplies last! Yes, it's blatant self promotion but hey, it's my blog.

I gotta say, that bag is hot. It actually looks totally different in the casual shot than on the website - much more casual and slouchy. I must revisit that...hmmmm.

On rafe.com, I saw a lot of great men bags in the Everyday Rafe section. But the men's collection are on available for sale on the website. :-(

Oh I love how you finish this post with a little sales pitch! Very cute!! (Plus it worked - I'm about to flick to your online shop.)

I agree about Jessica Alba seeming alittle more 'real' than some of her contemporaries. She certainly looks elegant on the red carpet. Is it naive of me to prefer a starlet who doesn't appear to plaster herself over every single grungy bar in the States? (Too bad if it is!)

Carolina Lange said...

Wow! Beautiful bag! And I love her style, she allways looks great in a natural way!
Great post!

Alice Olive said...

I'm sorry but your bags seriously ROCK!!! It's no surprise Jessica Alba loves them, who wouldn't? It's got just enough cool factor without looking like you tried too hard. Keep your girls happy, don't ever compromise! Love you!!!
