Don’t you just love fashion week? It’s like watching a continuous, never-ending, fashion show.
I’m not just talking about the runway shows that go on and on. I’m also referring to the celebrities, editors, bloggers, and die-hard fashionistas who get all dolled up for these events.

One star that caught my eye at London Fashion Week – Dita von Teese. The Burlesque queen arrived at the Burberry Show looking like perfection in her retro 50s vintage floral frock.
Even more noteworthy were the accessories she paired it with – a beautiful statement necklace, a cat detailed maroon umbrella, and a bordeaux handbag with major exotic drama.

Notice those extras? Seriously, I’ve never seen anyone look so fashionable and elegant while holding an umbrella!
And check out that exquisite purse! Any idea where Marilyn Manson’s ex-wife got the bag? Could it be a Burberry?

Actually, YES, it is. However, I have yet to find out from which collection; though I suspect, it could be from their Fall 2012 line-up judging from the color and material.
The bag is called the “Brickfield” Shoulder. A similar one in Burberry check and leather combi is available at Farfetch and Nordstrom:

But if you’re not in a hurry, feel free to wait for the snakeskin variant. I’m quite sure the stores will stock up on it in a few weeks.
