Street style: Hollywood

I spotted this Marc by Marc Jacobs gem in Hollywood.  Love at first sight!

This lovely lady is wearing the Classic Q Karlie in (as near as I can tell) violet.  It's small enough to take out at night, but not so small as to be unusable.  Like her friend said, "You have all the essentials in here."  And it's true - I think she had a phone, some lip gloss, driver's license and some cards.  The Karlie has some key slots and a couple of pockets built in, making this all you need to carry for a night out.

Normally I don't love the chain look, but with this bag it works.  And it's removable, creating an instant gorgeous clutch.  

Beautiful bag, and an incredibly sweet group of people.  

Best bag: Renegade Craft Fair

Update: This is the Marc by Marc Jacobs Petal to the Metal Natasha Flap Crossbody.  I should have known it was a Marc!  Many thanks to Ashley of Dearest Darling for the info.

It was a treat to attend the Renegade Craft Fair today in Los Angeles.  So many great bags!  Hands down, the best was worn by this fashionable lady.

Of course, the gold birds make this bag pop.  The birds were a perfect compliment to her beautiful dress, and added a bit of flair to an otherwise simple bag.  A slouchy crossbody was perfect for a few hours of walking the craft fair.  It was just large enough to carry some small purchases, but not so large as to be unruly.  A great choice!

Bad news: This bag was an old favorite of its owner, and I can't find it online.

Good news: You can recreate this look using a favorite bag of your own by adding a brooch.  Find some great ones with this Etsy list... my pick would be the Vintage Coro Rhinestone and Pearl Bird by Mimi's Vintage Shop.

Remember, when in doubt, put a bird on it!
