Bally Women’s Arkel Tennis Tote
Filed under: Handbags, Sports
Tennis season’s not over yet! Why not help the economy and get yourself a fresh, new bag for the fall? Bally’s bright pearl orange Arkel bag is made of patent calf with a patent leather-trimmed twill lining. It measures 15.5″ H x 18″ W x 4.5″ D and has a 6.75″ shoulder […]
Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis Sunset Boulevard, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
That is one long name for a handbag! For having such a long name it’s a pretty normal looking classic clutch without any outrageous features going on — except for crazy fashion appeal if you’re counting that! This bag strikes me as one of those timeless designs that truly can be considered an […]
Julie Feldman’s Hornback Weekender, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
I love the feel of a new bag and when it comes to handbags I have a tendency to find one I like and carry it every day until it wears out, but tote bags… well that’s another story altogether. I’m a little overrun with totes in all shapes, sizes, and colors, so […]
Hermes Jypsière Bag, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
The latest in the Hermes collection, the Jypsière (aka the Birkin messenger), was designed by Jean Paul Gaultier, who wore the androgynous shoulder bag down the runway following his Fall 08 show for Hermes. Waiting lists are long in the U.S., where the bag has yet to make an appearance. Eager shoppers have […]
Saks Exclusive: Gucci Medium Joy Boston bag
If you love the look of a logo bag (and let’s keep it real; they do come in handy when you’re wearing a plain t-shirt, skinny jeans, and a pair of flats…if to just spice things up), but are bored to death with the LV Speedy, consider a Gucci Medium Joy Boston bag. The shape […]
Jimmy Choo’s Hot New Patent Pair: Lola & Lois, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Jimmy Choo rarely disappoints whether it’s shoes or handbags. Certainly his new saucy duo, Lola & Lois, is no exception. With their similar patent leather look and chunky size they make for hefty handbags. Each has its own distinct look — Lois sports a detachable mini-messenger bag while Lola presents in a sassy […]
Fendi Metallic Leather Handbag
Despite the fact that it’s been quite a while since I’ve been genuinely impressed by anything Fendi-created, I’m willing to let bygones be bygones in light of the appearance of the label’s Metallic Leather Bag. In a word, it’s gorgeous. Gleaming bronze leather will always stand out in a crowd of basic golds and silvers, […]
Erin’s Style Picks: Mighty, Mighty Jewel Tones
My sources lurking under Anna Wintour’s four-poster bed tell me that jewel tones are gonna hit it big as a fall fashion trend, so wise up to these color-saturated purses. Though I’m a sucker for a nice edgy black patent version, the Yves Saint Laurent instant-classic Tribute Tote in turquoise has me reaching for the […]
Thomas Wylde Zanzibar Leather Clutch, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Are skulls still in? I guess it makes sense that they are (and will always be) since they’re one of the universal symbols for “bad-ass” and that attitude just never goes out of fashion.
I like this crystal-encrusted take on the skull by Thomas Wylde but I can’t help but wonder why the […]
