The other day, Geri from Because I’m Addicted posted a picture of an Alexander Wang studded bad, that I could look at for the rest of my life, but undoubtedly, and unfortunately, will never own. However, tucked inside the post with the lust-worthy bag was a link to Park & Cube.
That little internet wormhole led to a DIY project to make your own Alexander Wang inspired bag. After procrastinating for a bit over the holiday weekend, and realizing sitting in a hospital room with my sick brother all day every day is intensely boring, I headed to Micheal’s to find studs so I could Wang-out an old fake leather bag I bought years ago.
The only studs in stock weren’t as large as I had hoped for, but I think overall, the my little project was a success.
It was super easy to add studs, all I did was push the studs into the fabric and used a butter knife to fold in the prongs as directed on the blog. I totally bought too many studs, so I offered to bedazzle my little brother’s hospital gown. Sadly, he declined.

When I first laid eyes on the 3.1 Phillip Lim “Belgium” Bag, instead of a choir of angels singing, I heard The Beatles chanting ‘love, love love’ at the beginning of their song “All You Need Is Love.”
No, I wasn’t hearing voices, It was simply a strange coincidence, but love is the only word that describes my feelings toward the bag.
The bright blue color, the black piping, and the matte bronze hardware are all pieced together to create potentially the most fatal bag I’ve ever had the honor of salivating over. The only downside, something I encounter quite often when it comes to lusting over Lim, the $750 price tag.
Thus, I have two options:
1) I could shell out the cash and be able to gently caress the bag anytime I want.
or
2) I could not buy my lover bag and have $750 to spend on food or college tuition or less expensive bags.
Decisions, decisions!
