Here's the third of the new bags purchased this year; the first was the taupe-gray L.A.M.B. bag I got in New York, and the second was the Michael Kors bag I showed you a couple days ago. I snapped up this beauty via Gilt after seeing Sal's review of it and admiring how its capacious tote form coverts to a compact cross-body style. This is a great bag for San Francisco, as it is large enough to carry the compulsory sweater or light jacket that is a necessity even on the most seemingly summery of days. The bag itself is also light enough that filling it up doesn't push it into the realm of unmanageable -- unless you fill it with bricks, I suppose. It could actually hold quite a few, should the need arise.
I didn't even realize until I started writing this post that Sal also inspired the purchase of this scarf. While we were in New York in February we stopped at Saks for Sal to pick out her McQueen skull scarf, and while we were looking at all the options I tried on a red and black one. I've thought about it ever since, so I finally tracked one down on eBay, and boy am I glad I did. My $20 knock-off version doesn't hold a candle to the real thing; the difference in the quality and feel of the fabric is immediately apparent, and the skull pattern is perfectly crisp and clear on this one, whereas it's smeary and irregular on the knockoff.

The bag is a great deep red. It looks buttery soft. I love those cherry red shoes! The light harness is perfect for cinching all the drapes in and create great proportions.
I really love this outfit - the layers and the colors are just so amazing together!
Great stuff. The scarf and shoes are fabulous. You look terrific.
Black, white and red all over! I always like that color combo.
You look so fab! I adore the graphic black and white with the pops of red.
Oooh, that is a gorgeous, rich red in the Mid-City tote. Good choice. And glad you found a McQueen scarf for yourself. Isn't it just about the ultimate luxury?
That scarf is awesome, it totally makes the outfit. I just love me little skullies though, heh. I should really start wearing me some scarves...
I love everything about this ensemble!
