Paddington is still my personal winner. It’s so classy! The Stam looks a bit cluttered.

Hi megs, i am dyin to buy a hermes bag. which one do you think is a better buy, a birkin or a kelly? and also what size is better, 30 or 35? i think i should start with a basic color like black or brown. what do you think? Thanks!

Hi Megs, I have been looking at the Stam bags by Marc Jacobs and I noticed that the stam has two types of interior linings. One is the red suede lining and the other is the grey linen type of lining. I’m curious to know what is the difference? Are they both authentic i mean is one fake and the other is not? Why does it have two different linings for the same type of bag and does the price vary?

Thank you and I love your blog!

i don’t know if i’m asking this question in the right place, but i’m interested in knowing what everyone thinks about the new yellow balenciaga, not in crocodile, but in the regular soft leather. i’m thinking if its too neony yellow or is it just plain fabulous for spring? someone help me i can’t decide between the blue or this yellow. bella

Ooohhh!!! I love “Ask Megs”!! I’m going to have to think of all sorts of torrid questions to ask

Funny someone would say Chloe is inherently more “downtown cool” while MJ is “modern uptown.”… I see it the exact reverse. Chloe is wayyy more uptown and Marc has always been downtown- even marc’s store is downtown. I agree the ask megs idea is great! If I were the persone who wrote the question- I’d say neither, they are both “it” bags and have seen their day I’m afraid.

The Stam! It’s so much more trendy, I mean the Paddington is gorgeous but it’s too common. I would definitely go for the Stam!

I was at Nordstrom the other day and I saw some AMAZING new MJ bags in really fresh colors. The Paddington is SO PLAYED and I coveted the Stam for months before finally getting one. I now wear it without the big unweildy chain but it is still heavy and the kiss lock doesn’t work that well, it often comes open. If you are going to invest in a bag, get something that is 1) this season 2) still a luxury brand that makes you feel like a chic fashionista 3) not so recognizably trendy that it will seem dated almost as soon as you can afford it.

Ditto to all the comments about the Ask Megs column. So sweet and generous! The format is really personable and intimate.

Megs, that is so wonderful and generous of you to spend more of your time answering handbag questions. Even if you didn’t say it I also prefer the Stam since the bag seems so much more versatile, but I am bias towards MJ anyway!

I think it depends on what you’re looking for. Chloe is inherently more “downtown cool” while MJ is “modern uptown.” The Paddington does weigh a ton but it actually sits on the shoulder very nicely and it is a very classic shape. More casual but I like the updated plexi lock or the patent versions I’ve seen. The Stam is more versatile but a little more ladylike since it is a framed bag. You can wear it with jeans but it still looks appropriate with a suit to work. You could take the big chain off but I like the look of it even when I don’t use it.

ASK MEGS is such an awesome idea! But I have soooo many things that need to be asked- Megs you’re about be driven crazy (and by more people than just me).

I really like your new ASK MEGS, the detail are so personal everyone can get a feel
for how it would be to have either of these bags, just what many sites don’t provide.
Also, I love when there are pictures of people holding, wearing the bags, so one
can see how they relate to a body, the size too.
Nice…
