Sandi & Bob

Sandi's Hermes Birkin

Sandi and Bob

I spotted Sandi and her magnificent crocodile Hermès Birkin entering the Hermès boutique on Rush Street with her husband Bob. After all, where else would she be? Sandi is also wearing Hermès Kelly leather gloves, Hermès bracelets, and Jimmy Choo for Ugg studded boots. She is perfectly dressed for a leisurely walk through the Gold Coast during the harsh Midwestern winter!

Sandi and Bob were in town visiting from Texas. They are a lovely pair and were so generous and patient to let me photograph them. Let’s hope they got home safely before the blizzard struck!

Sonia is carrying a magenta Balenciaga city handbag with giant silver hardware. An incredibly bold designer handbag like this tends to totally dominate the holder’s appearance. Sonia expertly drew upon neutral textures with her gray fur vest, black leather leggings, and Louis Vuitton monogrammed scarf with muted tones of blue-gray and cream to complete her designer ensemble.

Will's LV by Sprouse
After seeing Will’s replica Stephen Sprouse for Louis Vuitton handbag on a CTA platform in Evanston, I realized that I actually prefer the artistically modified LV monogram to the plain LV monogram. Perhaps it’s my bias in favor of Japanese pop culture over graffiti, but I have to say Murakami is my favorite. What a bad street-style blogger I am, passing over a luxury handbag inspired by street art in favor of one that pays tribute to rainbow-colored bubblegum-flavored pop culture!
