Bag Lust: The Yves Saint Laurent Cabas Chyc Tote

January 10, 2012

I do lust over designer handbags a lot and my latest obsession is Yves Saint Laurent’s Cabas Chyc leather tote that just exudes Parisian chic. Why am I loving this bag so much? Well for a tote I want a classic shape, something that it is sturdy and roomy, has a touch of elegance, and most of all something that can bridge the gap between casual to smart and everything in between *not asking for a lot then!*. Plus it is essential that a day tote is versatile.

The YSL Cabas Chyc certain is that. This roomy bag has a class about it, I love that the logo is a subtle ‘Y’, which doubles up as the buckle. I also appreciate a tote that can work in some many colours – this bag comes in every shade from the classic black, dark brown and beige, to vibrant red, magenta and ocean blue hues, and even has a subtle black leopard print and a very youthful black denim tote, which has a certain charm about it.

Don’t just take my word for it, this gorgeous tote seems to be the latest celebrity ‘It’ bag, seen on the arms of the likes of Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester, Aussie popstar Kylie Minogue, as well as Rihanna and the always stylish Sienna Miller. It also seems to be the go-to handbag for Hollywood elite as well as the Cabas Chyc has also been spotted with Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, and Salma Hayek.

The celebs may all go for the black and brown versions, which are great wardrobe staples and if you are going to spend over a thousand  pounds on a designer bag that then is probably the best to go for. But for me, I am just so in love with the midnight blue shade above, I don’t know why but this colour just looks so gorgeous against the gold accents, also I think it would work nicely with black, vibrant prints as well as a camel trench for the ultimate Parisian outfit. But at £1,195 from Net-a-Porter I better get saving!!!

  • Been having a tea and gin party in the garden enjoying the sunshine today and it was such a lovely end to a very busy week.
...
This has been one of the funnest shoots in a while and I can't wait to reveal my garden party set up - I've got some new cushions, the prettiest crockery and I'm so happy with how my DIY pallet table came out.
...
Did you get outdoors and enjoy the sunshine?
  • Think I might need this cute @asos skirt in every colour - loved the yellow one and couldn't resist the blue one, question is do I need to add the khaki one?
...
There's something about the button detailing and the pockets, plus the great price only £20 and it is so comfortable even in this gorgeous heat.
...
I might as well warn you all now this might become a repeat offender on my feed I love it. Also, anyone else obsessed with buttons lately? I can't get enough.
...
Wanna shop this skirt in all three colours? Follow me on the @liketoknow.it app and screenshot this pic. http://liketk.it/2vrfv #liketkit #asseenonme
  • First up can we please give some love to my mum for this fab picture - isn't it great how do I fire the Insta-husband?
...
Also, hands up who's had a lovely sunny day? Mum and I have had a fab one filled with culture two exhibitions including the new Monet one at The National Gallery that I would definitely recommend and yummy food I treated her to the fabulousness of By Chloe and she loved it - I'm an addict for their guac burger.
...
Then after all that fun we enjoyed the evening sunshine with Falcon on his favourite walk - now off for more food - I can't remember when I've had a better hump day!
  • Spent the day running between press days, check out my stories for a sneak peek at what Boden has coming up for AW18, doing boring errands, trying to transcribe a really difficult interview the designer has a strong accent, and a crazy stack of admin that I sadly can no longer ignore. But hey at least we had sunshine!
...
So kisses with this cutie when I came home was much needed.
...
Hope you guys had a great day in the sun.
  • Anyone checked the weather like ten times in disbelieve that we actually have sunshine and its only going to get better - like 26 on Thursday in April is amazing and I'm so ready for a little warmth after that never-ending winter.
...
Also, sunshine means I get to wear all my favourite sunglasses - I love how fun these Swatch beauties are.
...
How are you enjoying this gorgeous weather?
  • With this gorgeous spring weather we are enjoying it is only right to embrace it - so for our Sunday afternoon I wore my new bright yellow skirt.
...
Not dog walking friendly - Falcon did try to put his muddy paws over me, but I'm kind of addicted to yellow. There's something about wearing sunshine tones that just makes everything better and this is a beauty of a skirt from @asos I'm loving the button details.
...

  • Weekends are for treats right? Headed to our favourite burger joint in Rye for lunch @hoof_rye - this place not only does great burgers, sweet potato fries and onion rings but also a monster freakshake that each time I'm too stuffed to try.
...
Afterwards we wandered around Rye, it never gets old I love this town, looked in a few antique shops in the hope that something dreamy would be there, sadly nothing really spoke to me.
...
Then we headed home for a lovely countryside walk with Falcon and saw lots of cutie lambs - not going to lie I could get used to this gorgeous sunshine.
...
How's your Saturday going?
  • Today was a good Friday. I got to interview @rails founder @thejeffabrams who was super lovely and it was inspirational to hear how he launched his successful global brand. I also fell hard for his great shirts and the very Instagramable customised denim jacket, see my Instastories to see what I mean. I've already been on the Rails website and they have a picture of it with Danielle on the back - means it's fate right?
...
Then I got to hangout with the @fashercise girls at their new shop and see their fab collection - you have to see their new trainers so dreamy.
...
Then for date night with the hubbie we went for a long dog walk - yeah to lighter nights - and now I'm eating fish and chips. Seriously such a good day.
