Michael Kors’ Ultimate Bedazzled Epic Fail Handbag

Omg. Just- omg.

I started a part time job at a department store and I walked past it- something that nearly made me claw out my own eyes at the horror.

A denim, snakeskin, BEDAZZLED handbag.

I actually didn’t see it at first. You see, I’ve grown to appreciate Michael Kors’ handbags. Sure, all of his silhouettes are a copy of either Louis Vuitton:

Or even Marc Jacobs which is also a copy of Chanel:

But I’ve grown to kind of kind them. They’re more affordable than many of those mentioned above, and I don’t have to drive or have it shipped to me to have ready access. I even have three in my own closet now. So, I was walking amongst the Michael Kors bags and really admiring the new Selma bags with the grommets on the sides- I like them on the sides because that is a part of the handbag which is oft ignored and adds something unexpected and thus demure in its own way. But then I rounded the corner and saw that which made my eyes want to bleed:

 

Dum dum DUUUUUM- cue the horror music.

I really wanted to cry.

I mean seriously?! It’s bad enough that Michael Kors seems to have very little originality in his handbags then he has to go and make me throw up in my mouth right after I bought two on sale with this new monstrosity he has put forth?

I shall rename it “Michael Kors’ Bedazzled Epic Fail Handbag”- cause nobody got time to look that bad. Ugh.

And the thing is- I really really do like the other new ones he has!!! Seriously how can you take something like the Hamilton bag and put just the right amount of mirrored piping around the edges- just to give it a really cool edge (even if it is a Birkin copy) and then go and throw up all over this craziness of the Selma snakeskin bag?

I also have to kind of laugh, cause when I saw it I didn’t really think they would call the color demin in the description- but they sure do. I figured they would name is “blue something or another snakeskin” but no they come straight on out and call it demin. DENIM SNAKESKIN. OMG. Y’all I just can’t even get over it. And then we add the rainbow colored sequins. It looks like my 4 year old colored on the bag and put sparkles on it.

I just- I can’t even. I just can’t. Too. Much. Snark.

On a brighter note, I went inside The Pink Chief Boutique yesterday in downtown Macon and discovered many items that I love, which will be followed in a later post.

Love to all yall-
