Filed under: Handbags, Jewelry, Timepieces, Holiday Guides
Last weekend in Dubai, Louis Vuitton showcased their Seasonal Gift Collection for 2008 including handbags, wallets, jewelry and accessories amidst a snowy backdrop and Parisian winter scenes. Guests were invited to see, touch and admire the collection shown on October 13th at the Emirates Tower Hotel. Typically I start […]
Fendi Fringed Zebra Baguette
You know that boyfriend that keeps doing stupid stuff that you hate, and every time he does you swear this is THE LAST TIME, but ultimately you don’t break up with him because, well, he’s really, really hot? Fendi is that bad boyfriend. Oh sure, he brings you B Bags and Spy Bags once in […]
Dita Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
It’s like a big rainbow disco ball! I love it, although honestly I don’t think I’d ever have the guts to wear it. It’s the Dita Shoulder Bag by Sonia Rykiel and it’s made of luxe black calfskin suede that’s studded with hundreds (even thousands maybe?) of multi-colored crystals. It also has chain […]
Burberry Haymarket Hobo
I don’t get it. Sometimes Burberry handbags are just amazing and sometimes they look like Liz Clairborne for Kohls. The Haymarket bag offers nothing new or fancy. Just a high price for the same old. And trimming the bag in gold metallic leather is just so not pretty. This purse has nothing to get me […]
Balenciaga Lattice City Classic Tote
Balenciaga had the big ‘It’ bag a few seasons ago with their motorcycle-inspired styles. This season’s City collection is a ramped up version of that. This particular handbag features contrastic criss-crossed leather in a lattice pattern. The design could be said to evoke the lights of a tall skyscraper, or perhaps the crossword puzzle of […]

The line, called ONE OCTOBER, uses salmon skin instead of leather to create classic pieces with a funky edge.

Quilted Nylon Map Bag, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
It’s getting pretty chilly lately where I live and so these plush, quilted nylon map bags from Coach look especially appealing (plus they’ve reminded me that I still need to dig out my winter coats!).
The bags come in only these two colors (both of which I love), and feature leather trim, a leather […]
Gucci Babouska Dome Bag
Though I dismissed the other Babouskas - I just couldn’t get behind all that fringe and over-the-top-ness - I’m really liking this Gucci Babouska Dome bag. The central Gucci crest on the brown leather gives the bag an old-fashioned feel. A light smattering of studs decorates the top. The bag is fairly diminutive in size […]
