Giambattista Valli.... for Macy's?

My new obsession -- Giambattista Valli clutch ($69)

Okay, I know I'm a little late to the party here, but I honestly had no idea that Giambattista Valli created a collection for Impulse at Macy's! That was, at least, until I wandered out of 'Clinique World' a few days ago and stumbled across the most incredible bag I've ever seen.... excluding Chanel, of course. ;)

If you're wondering who Giambattista Valli, you're definitely not alone. My 100% heterosexual boyfriend doesn't know who he is either... Just kidding.

In all seriousness, Giambattista Valli is an Italian fashion designer. He has worked with Yves Saint Laurent, which automatically makes him blog-worthy. He recently designed his first (!) couture collection, which you can feel free to obsess over right  here. His biggest client is Posh Spice herself, miss Victoria Beckham, as well as Easy A starlet Emma Stone. He even designed the gorgeous red and pink dress to the right!

Anyways, back to my 'little too late' discovery. So, on a mini-break from putting makeup on ugly people work, I decided to wander upstairs and browse through things I shouldn't buy rather than giving in to my caffeine addiction (yay!).

And, as I was browsing, I just happened to stumble across THE BAG. You know -- the one I mentioned in the second sentence? Better description -- the one I'm now in love with! [above]


The bag itself is ridiculously incredible. It has some gorgeous Chanel-esque detailing (the ribboned chains), but between the tan biker leather, the modern shape, and the bold stone clasp, it has a very modern, punk-chic vibe as well.

If you love the bag as much as I do, you can buy it here for only $69!!!

Or, if you think this is the absolute ugliest bag you have ever seen, then please, check out a few more of the soon-to-be sold out pieces below:

Colorblocking reaches new heights: Pink and Red

As the color blocking trend has continued to grow, its hard to tell how long it will actually last. It's also hard to tell how many new trends will emerge from the original trend itself. Its very rare to see micro trends emerge from seemingly temporary trends, but from color blocking, we've already seen 'same color, different shade', purple and orange combos, and now, the ever-dreaded pink and red!

At the premiere of the much anticipated Friends With Benefits, established starlet and rising fashionista Emma Stone donned a Giambattista Valli ensemble and nude Louboutin pumps.

Usually, our attention wuld be solely focused on the ideallic red soles, but this time, they came second to Emma's outfit! We couldn't take our eyes off of her colorblocked frock, consisting of a crimson sweater and hit pink bowed pencil skirt, both off of the runway of Giambattista Valli's Fall 2011 collection.

Her pairing of the two traditionally clashing colors is undoubtedly striking, but yet, its not the first time we've seen it! Late last year, Carrie Bradshaw (Come on, we can't be the only ones who still refer to SJP as the gal who officially made Manhattan cooler than L.A.!) wore bright red jeans and a pink/purple tee while out shopping.
