YSL “Bouganvill Patent Leather Medium Downtown Tote”
Tina has already written a post about a limited edition of this piece of arm candy - the Transparent Downtown. I have seen a few spring Downtowns at Saks and I decided to cover this one because it stirred my emotions the most. You might have noticed by now that I usually have a problem with patent leather on spring bags, but I couldn’t let this one pass regardless. The main reason behind my decision to cover this one is the divine bouganvill color - it has taken the Downtown tote to a completely different level. 
I will even completely overlook the patent leather because this is a type of bag which can look amazing in any material. I feel this is a perfect bag for a bussy weekday when you have to run around town running errands. I am not saying I’d never take this bag with me when I’m going on vacation, but I feel as if I would carry it in the situations simillar to the one above mostly, and that makes the patent leather much easier to stomach.
No, no, no, every time I switch to the Saks tab with this bag on it I end up totally neglecting the fact that it is in patent (crinkled if I may add, which in this case makes it more acceptable for me, unlike in the spring Hillier hobo). This color has gotten under my skin instantly and the whole thing is way beyond the point of no return..
Let me give you the scoop of the Bouganvill Downtown features - there is a pocket on the front, which I really like because the versions which don’t have it look as if something was missing. The top is open, but the sides are featured with zippers (this is also important to me because if the whole top was left open I wouldn’t like it this much) and the interior is canvas lined and features a zip pocket.
To end my post I will satisfy my urge to say how much I am enchanted by this version of Downtown, and how the color is simply breathtaking enough for an impulse purchase you will not end up regreting.
