Object of Desire: 3.1 Phillip Lim Black Structured Leather Tote Bag

I always feel like I need a new bag for a new year, so in the past 2 days, I have been checking out bags on Ssense. I came across this one from 3.1 Phillip Lim and instantly fell in love with it.

Back in the F/W 2014 season, I was in love with the women's tote bag by this brand. In here, I love the bag in bag design, and the size is perfect for me to carry (13.5" length x 14.5" height x 4" width). This is a very classy and timeless piece, so if you are looking for a nice tote bag, make sure you give this one a try!

Object of Desire: 3.1 Phillip Lim Black Leather and Fur Satchel

I have been hoping to own a satchel for quite some time now, and for this season, this particular one will be on top of my wish list.

This lovely piece is from the 3.1 Phillip Lim F/W 2014 collection. Instead of making the entire piece in leather, the front panel is actually made of fur. It's classic, with a fashionable twist. If you have $1775 spare change, then I recommend you to order one on Ssense ASAP!

Object of Desire: 3.1 Phillip Lim Black Floral Embossed Leather Wallet

Within these few seasons, Pillip Lim has really brought the "A" game for his menswear accessories. For this F/W 2014, I have my eyes on this.

The special thing about this wallet is the embossed florals on the black leather. This is something I don't see a lot on men's accessories. This wallet is very practical as well because there are 2 big pocket for you to carry your cards and bills. Overall, I think this is a great functional art piece.

Trendology: 3.1 Phillip Lim Black Leather Envelope Bifold Wallet

In the beginning of every year, I always have the urge to buy a new wallet. Few days ago I came across this 3.1 Phillip Lim wallet and immediately fell in love with it.

This leather wallet is very interesting as it only has only 2 compartments: one pocket for you bills, while the other is for your cards (no slots). The tab-loop closure adds a nice touch and in my personal opinion, this is one of the best minimalist designs I have seen in recent years.

Trendology: 3.1 Philip Lim Cream Wool Houndstooth Sweater

Houndstooth is making a big comeback in the recent years and many designers have made a modern twist on this iconic pattern. For instance, below is a nice sweater from the 3.1 Philip Lim line and you can see he has created 2 versions of houndstooth here: one big and one small. The overlapping design is very interesting and it brings out freshness of this pattern. What do you think?

Trendology: 3.1 Philip Lim Crying Girl 31 Second Cosmetic Bag

Pop art rocks!

Part of 3.1 Philip Lim pre fall 2012 collection is about pop art and of course, the brand has a fun accessory piece for the lineup. This cosmetic bag is such a fun take on the pop art culture and yellow, black, blue and silver patent leather are used to create the face of the girl. I would like to get one and use it to carry my stationaries.

Trendology: 3.1 Phillip Lim Braided Sleeve Peacoat

I am already starting to look for a good peacoat for this coming fall/winter season and recently I have come across this one from 3.1 Phillip Lim. I really like the woven detail on the leather sleeves and from the photo I see here, the coat is not that boxy and will fit well for a small frame person like me.
