Default Alexander McQueen Melrose Tote

Alexander McQueen Melrose Tote



I was browsing around on the Saks Fifth Avenue website today when I spotted this curious-looking handbag. Meet the Alexander McQueen Melrose Tote. The lovely Kelly Green color is what initially drew me in. But upon closer inspection, I discovered something rather amusing about this bag. What is that you ask? Just take a look at its lining and tell me that this bag doesn't remind you of a watermelon. Oddly enough, this bag brings back memories of the lockers at my middle school. They were pink on the inside and green on the outside. Don't ask me why. I just remember giggling when one of my friends painstakingly drew little black seeds all over the interior of her locker with a Magic Marker. And from the looks of this bag, I'll bet she would be tempted to draw little seeds inside it as well. All joking aside though, I do think that this is a very attractive bag. However, perhaps it would be wiser to purchase it in Black. At least that way nobody will be chasing you around with a Magic Marker!

The Alexander McQueen Melrose Tote is available in Green for pre-order. It measures 16.5" x 15" x 6" and it retails for $1,435 (which sounds just about right for this particular designer). Find it at Saks Fifth Avenue

Just in case you guys don't believe me, the locker story is 100% true. I did not make it up. Why the lockers were pink and green I will never know! LOL!

Wow, just look at that color combination! I do love the green shade, but the pink with it.

Don't forget to wear your matching Nike Delta Forces in ‘Watermelon’

*Shudder* Who would ever wear those shoes? It does look kind of like a watermelon, but maybe that's what he was going for. After all he is fashion's " L'enfant terrible" and "the hooligan of English fashion".
