For a scene the actress was shooting, Michelle wore an outfit that was mostly black. The show’s stylist simply played with different textures in her outfit to create a winning look.

Do you have an idea who made Michelle’s bag? Please do let us know. We only found the following feathered bags in Zappos. They’re all by Inspired by Claire, a new introduction to the Emerging Designer program of the store.

The first bag is a unique handmade bag made with 100% natural feathers. The bag has additional accents like the vintage pearl brooch in the middle and the chiffon rosettes. It measures 8.5 inches wide, 2 inches deep, and 9 inches high. You can get the bag for $300.

Saturday, September 22, 2012

Inspired by the traditional water bags from the time of Moses, this fringe bag from Free People is a very interesting fashion piece.

The bag is made of leather with an opening on top that is framed with metal. At the bottom of the bag is a fringe tassel with beads. We do like how the bag looks except all our stuff will likely get jumbled inside because the purse is so long. It does have one pocket inside. This isn’t on our must-have list but we do think it looks very cool. The bag retails for $595.
