Luxe For Less: White Hot Summer

New York has had multiple weekends of 90+ degree weather so for me, summer started a while ago, but alas, I’m told it just OFFICIALLY started this past Friday. (Who makes these rules anyway??) And so this week’s Luxe For Less is a celebration of summer and the heat that will be, […]

Paris Hilton’s Fendi B Bag

Paris Hilton could still use a little help in the fashion department - red heels, a metallic safari dress, a turquoise bracelet, and a black handbag…colorblind much? - but she does get extra credit for knowing a great purse when she sees one. This oversized Fendi B Bag is an oldie but a goodie, and […]


Fendi Beaded Spy Bag

For. Crying. Out. Loud. Why, why, why does Fendi test my love for them by sending out hideous purses like this wacky and tacky Fendi Beaded Spy Bag?

This three-in-one clutch bag by Goldenbleu looks like something classic and almost vintage in shape and design, but then it gets a serious update with crinkled black patent leather and contrast topstitching. It’s a convertible in a couple of ways, the first being the fact that the smaller front pouch (an almost exact […]

Gucci Large Jockey Python Hobo Bag

If pressed, I would have to concede that I’m not much of a Gucci gal. I’ve only been persuaded to sink some change at Gucci twice: a trim, messenger style bag and the ubiquitous Walker monogrammed pouch made famous by Ms. Carrie Bradshaw.
