Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Game
We’ve been obsessing over what will be our It bag of the season, and we've come to the conclusion that we're just too overwhelmed by all our choices. So when the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced the nominees in the running for the 2011 honor, we decided to make a little game out of it to help us decide. With Tom Waits, Bon Jovi, Alice Cooper, Donovan, and Neil Diamond first-time nominees, we envisioned our red carpet looks, making each bag choice based on how well it would fit with each artist’s aesthetic. Read on to see our choices, then help us decide which bag is best!
Alice Cooper has a reputation of being a bad ass, so if the accolade goes to him, we’d want to be seen on his arm with the Badgley Mischka Claudia Bag on ours. The leather bag’s leopard-print flap amps up the rebel girl vibe, as does the chain-link strap, while the gold hardware keeps the look from going too punk. After all, we wouldn’t want to outshine the man of honor, now would we?
Leave it to Donovan to pen a tune that gives life to the Little Mermaid’s underwater kingdom--it’s one of our faves. To pay tribute to both the whimsy of the Scottish singer’s ditties and “Atlantis,” we’ll be sporting this Magnes Sisters Goodtimes Clutch. The black version may be more appropriate for your taste, but we’re here to support our man, so obviously we’re going to be seen next to our Antediluvian King with the aqua version in our hands.
Like a good Jersey girl, we’ll want to be ready for anything if our favorite Jersey boy Bon Jovi gets inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We’re gonna need our hairbrush, some gum, something to read, a sweater in case we get chilly, our makeup bag for touchups, some hairspray, and whatever else we can fit into our Badgley Mischka Delia Bag. Thankfully this oversize tote is beyond chic; everyone will be gushing over it. But we’ll definitely be “Livin’ on a Prayer,” fingers crossed no one wants to peek inside!
If Neil Diamond takes the cake, then we want to be seen just as sweet as Caroline. We’ll no doubt show up in a gorgeous black number, perfectly complemented with Santi’s Silk Pleated Clutch and its precious flower detail along the top. Depending on how the after-party situation shapes up, we may have to resort to pulling out the chain strap just to make sure we don’t leave her anywhere in the midst of all the fabulous celebrations. Good times never seemed so good.
Finally, if we got to accompany cool crooner Tom Waits, well we’d probably consider ourselves pretty lucky. To keep from melting at the sound of his voice--even if he's just talking--we’ll be looking to the Magnes Sisters Nine to Five Bag to help us keep our cool. We’re obsessed with the subtle yet chic detail of the pleats, but the real reason we’ll be wearing it awards night? To give Tom the perfect place to keep his nickels--or lay his head.
We think Mr. Waits helped us answer our own question, but we'd like you to weigh in as well. Which one is your favorite?
