After all, my philosophy is quite simple: a bag makes the outfit. This bag, in a dark brown, does exactly that. It&#8217;s simplicity, with just the right amount of detailing in the handles and shape, is done to perfection. It&#8217;s versatility is also a plus for me too. Whereas I usually prefer to carry a bag on my arm, its shoulder straps are a backup for when, if need be, I need my hands and arms free (hopefully to carry large shopping bags full of recent purchases!)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lacouturiernyc.files.wordpress.com\/2008\/11\/ysl-oversized-pearlized-muse.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"569\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/kimberlypearl.co\/blog\/chocolate-y-cravings\/ysl-oversized-pearlized-muse\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kimberlypearl.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ysl-oversized-pearlized-muse.jpg?fit=216%2C270&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"216,270\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"ysl-oversized-pearlized-muse\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kimberlypearl.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ysl-oversized-pearlized-muse.jpg?fit=216%2C270&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-569 alignright\" title=\"ysl-oversized-pearlized-muse\" src=\"http:\/\/lacouturiernyc.files.wordpress.com\/2008\/11\/ysl-oversized-pearlized-muse.jpg?resize=216%2C270\" alt=\"ysl-oversized-pearlized-muse\" width=\"216\" height=\"270\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Muse.

So it&#8217;s not exactly a shade of <em>chocolate<\/em> brown. But if you use your imagination, it&#8217;s the perfect shade of malted milk shake chocolate. (I think I&#8217;m seeing chocolate&#8230;) I love the size, the shape, the slightly golden taupe, the simplicity. It would also look oh-so-nice on one of my lazy days too. All eyes on the lovely bag, instead of my rather disheveled ensemble. I think it would make me feel much more put together as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"570\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/kimberlypearl.co\/blog\/chocolate-y-cravings\/miu-miu-bronze-ruched-leather-bag\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kimberlypearl.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/miu-miu-bronze-ruched-leather-bag.jpg?fit=550%2C550&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"550,550\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"miu-miu-bronze-ruched-leather-bag\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kimberlypearl.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/miu-miu-bronze-ruched-leather-bag.jpg?fit=550%2C550&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-570 aligncenter\" title=\"miu-miu-bronze-ruched-leather-bag\" src=\"http:\/\/lacouturiernyc.files.wordpress.com\/2008\/11\/miu-miu-bronze-ruched-leather-bag.jpg?resize=248%2C258\" alt=\"miu-miu-bronze-ruched-leather-bag\" width=\"248\" height=\"258\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I just love Miu Miu bags. First the Vitello Lux I&#8217;ve been pining after since forever, now this lovely ruched leather coiffer bag. I love the shape of it; round and soft, yet structured in its gold hardware. The detailing is beautiful; the metal clasps, buttons, adn the braided handle is just so perfectly incorporated onto the bag. And that ruching. Impeccable. I think I fell in love with it when I saw it at either Barneys or Bergdorf Goodman a while ago. It was love at first touch, I should like to specify. It&#8217;s creamy texture, unbelievably soft leather&#8230;to die for.
