forget everything I said recently about how bad things come in threes and that indicates that there would soon be another bad Valentino bag for me to snark on soon. I have never been a lot more utterly and profoundly wrong on this blog before, at least not that I can remember, because I can’t help but drool all over the Valentino Kaleidscope stone Tote. who needs a man – I love this bag so much that I would gladly cuddle with it at night instead.
I fully realize that some of you may look at this thing and think that this is undoubtedly the completion of the trio of bad Valentino purses that I had foretold, but hear me out on this. If all of the sewn-on rhinestones were the same color or the same shape, then I’d be ready to dismiss it a tacky and cheap-looking. but the subtlety of the ombre color change and the seemingly random variance in stone shape (but not size, so that they look somewhat uniform) gives this bag a level of class that perfectly balances its over-the-top shine. I love a statement bag a lot more than anything else in fashion, and this one might rank as one of my all-time favorites. get through Neiman Marcus for $2995.
