Don't believe everything you read

Browsing through one of my favorite online shops, net-a-porter, I found this Mulberry Emmy leather bag. My first reaction was: My God that's ugly. My second thought was: My God that's still ugly!

So, imagine my surprise when I read underneath: An Editors' Favorite. This is a great style to carry all you need for day.

Um, not. After reading that, I was like: Editor of what? Am I going blind? Are my beauty senses going numb?

But, thanks to the wonders of the internet, I found that The Bag Snob (the fashionable bag authorities), agree with me: Another proclaimed "it" bag, the Emmy is so far from being anything a respectable fashionista would own. This completely geometrically boxy shape is so unappealing and seriously, if they poke some holes in it they could sell these to Tinkerbell's stupid owner.

Just my point. Girls want to be pretty and look like ladies! They don't want to have things like that clinging from their arms. It seems that those fashion editors do owe something to their ad-payers, to say the least.
