Dior Gaucho Denim and Leather Saddle Bag

Well, I surrender…last summers’ “it” girl Sienna Miller still has it going even though her signature cowboy boots and flowing skirt look is dead. Though no longer as big a fashion icon as she used to be, Sienna still knows where its at in designer handbags. A cute geometric print shirt and skinny jeans are the perfect combo for this rugged, stylish bag from Dior. I wonder what fashion trends Miss. Miller has up her sleeve next…
