Coach Leah collection
I guess it’s Coach’s version of resort. The Leah collection is sherbert colors, a little metallic and a lot of logos. Coach seemed to take a departure from their logos for the holiday season and with the economy in the gutter, many women who often go for the discreet luxury of Miu Miu or Tod’s […]
Miu Miu Cutout Bowling Bag, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
If this bag reminds you of a smokey bowling alley and ill-fitting, overused bowling shoes than this won’t be your cup o’ tea. But personally I like the retro-chic, mod look of Miu Miu’s Cutout Bowling Bag. It may be a bit of a literal spin-off of its name but the neutral, simple […]
Brandy Rocks the Louis Vuitton, Rips Her Jeans
Remember this day, readers. It’s a rare occasion when you stumble upon a Do and a Don’t of this magnitude within the same outfit. While Brandy pulls out all the stops with her uber-luxe Louis Vuitton monogrammed purse (we like), her slashed-beyond-belief jeans (we no like) belong on a Motley Crue groupie circa 1987. Or […]
Fendi Velvet Spy Bag
You don’t mess with classics, but in the case of this Fendi Velvet Spy Bag, it’s a surprisingly successful - if fairly unconventional - update. The rich wine velvet instantly gives it a festive feeling, especially coupled with the satin lining and thick, shimmery handles. A smattering of rhinestones and beads glint elegantly on the […]
Versace ‘Kiss’ Crocodile Embossed Shopper, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Versace has turned out a winner for the holiday season. Reminiscent of Santa’s red suit this gorgeous crocodile embossed bag is stylish and colorful without being overdone. I love the kissing-mouth shape of the overlapping layers and the subtlety of the Versace name only noticeable by the small plate and 7″ intertwined chain […]
Three Real Housewives and One Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis Tote
If you look up “guilty pleasures” in the dictionary, you’ll probably see a TV Guide listing for Bravo’s “The Real Housewives.” Orange County, NYC, Atlanta - we love them all, which is why I’m tickled to see Housewives Vicki Gunvalson (OC), Bethenny Frankel (NYC), and NeNe Leakes (Atlanta) bonding over some drinks. And it wouldn’t […]
R & Y Augousti Shagreen Mini Audiere, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
I’m always a little torn when it comes to liking box-style clutches because although I like the way many of them look, carrying a hard-sided bag with sharp corners and rough surface textures doesn’t feel very luxurious in my hands. This Shagreen Mini Audiere (in pink) by R & Y Augousti might be […]
Fendi Mini Mama Shoulder Bag
Punctuate your fall wardrobe with this eye-popping Fendi Mini Mama Shoulder Bag. The juicy orange will do all the work for you, adding a burst of color to neutral palettes and more dramatic backdrops alike. It’s a little unexpected for this season since it veers slightly away from warmer spice tones, but paired it with […]
Coach Legacy Boutique Carrie Double Pocket Satchel
Dainty and extremely refined, the no-fuss, no-frills, no-nonsense Carrie Double Pocket Satchel from the Coach Legacy Boutique is sure to win a few hearts. If the clean lines and starkly attractive color palette don’t do the trick, maybe those inimitably classic details will. From the roomy outer pocket to that telltale turnlock closure, this little […]
Micol Metallic Envelope Clutch, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
I like the idea of an envelope clutch, and at first this one appealed to me, but the more I look at it the uglier I think it is. It’s the Micol Metallic Envelope Clutch by D&G and it’s pretty much exactly what it sounds like — a large leather envelope. It zips […]
