Chloe Faye medium review

Pictured: Chloe Faye in medium. Leather and suede combination. Grey.

The Chloe Faye is a beautiful handbag from one of my favorite design houses; Chloe. This chic handbag offers a 1970’s vibe with a flap closure, (often referred to as a Saddle Bag), and two large, interior compartments. There is also a roomy zipper pocket inside.

I have been eyeing the Chloe Faye since Chloe sent it down the runway a couple of seasons ago. The handbag started to appear on the streets in full force during spring 2015. For fall 2015, the Chloe Faye is flying off of store shelves and seems to be an upcoming IT bag for the season. Love that!

My medium Chloe Faye is extremely easy to wear. The handbag is lightweight, and the interior compartments make it easy to organize my purse essentials. The flap closure offers a strong magnetic snap which is fuss-free. Love that!

There is a lot of versatility in the Chloe Faye! The shoulder strap is detachable, which allows the Chloe Faye to be worn as a large, daytime clutch. The shoulder strap is also adjustable. I prefer to wear the handbag with the strap attached. I also prefer the strap adjusted as short as possible. I like the handbag under my arm; not dangling low. It just feels right.

The Chloe Faye shoulder bag has two sizes which are popular; the small and the medium. I chose the medium size because I like to have room for extra items my kids might ask me to hold; or I may just want to take extra things with me somewhere! I am also eyeing the small size, and may eventually break down and get one. Not that I have a handbag addiction or anything 😉 ha!

The medium Chloe Faye measures in at 10″ X 12.5″ X 1.5″ and the strap offers a 12″ drop. Chloe Faye is made in Italy.

I really enjoy carrying my medium Chloe Faye. The handbag bag is user-friendly, on trend, and has an IT factor to it. All things I love in a handbag! The 1970’s vibe, and mixed fabrication, make the handbag unique; another feature I am in love with! This is definitely a great handbag to own for now, and many seasons to come!

I rate the medium Chloe Faye in grey, five out of five stars!

Easy breezy flowing summer outfit

July 21, 2015 in Bay Area Fashion / General Fashion tagged casual style / outfits / summer 2015 / travel by Cheap Luxury Handbags Store

Pictured: Earrings: Kendra Scott / Sunglasses: Chanel / Lipstick: Chanel / Top: Express / Necklace: Unknown-purchased at art fair (also love this one) / Skirt: Express / Bracelets: Kendra Scott, Kendra Scott / Handbag: Mansur Gavriel / Nail Polish: Christian Louboutin Nude Rose Gold / Shoes: Chloe

For our big summer trip this year, we decided to take the kids down south to Universal Studios, Disneyland, and Legoland. On our drive down, we stopped at the beautiful Mission Santa Barbara for a little bit of California history. What kid doesn’t need a little summer history lesson?!

When we left the Bay Area, temperatures hovered in the 90’s, so I chose to wear this flowing, breezy skirt with a lightweight, cotton cropped top. It was the perfect ensemble for beating the heat while on the road! The flowing silhouette, and lightweight fabrics, kept me cool all the way from NorCal to SoCal. Love that!

This skirt is really fun to wear too. I have worn it with a high, stacked heel, for a dressier look, as well as with the flats shown above for comfort. The shoes really make a difference; making the skirt fabulous for day into evening this summer! Love that!

My new Chloe flats were perfect for walking around the mission; and they were also comfortable for driving down the coast! I’m addicted to these flats 😉

The Santa Barbara Mission was a great place to stop with the kids on the drive south. Not only did we get to stretch our legs, and get out of the car, the kids learned about a small part of California history! Who says you can’t mix education and fun?!

Thanks for stopping by,

xoxo
