Sizzling Valentine’s Bags, Handbags of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Three weeks from now you may be invited on a romantic outing and it’s important to feel you’re dressed to celebrate cupid’s holiday. For instance, a brightly colored bag would not only spice up your outfit but the intensity of color is bound to make you feel sexy the way a pair of […]
Coach Madison Metallic Leather Shoulder Bag
Lately, whenever I receive one of those “What’s New” emails from Coach, I’m disappointed by the offerings. Not so this time, because the brand’s Madison Metallic Leather Shoulder Bag is a true, classic beauty. This is a quintessential, modern shoulder bag, with a simple shape, slightly gathered for a light pleated effect and done up […]
Coach Penelope Python Clutch
Not exactly standard Coach fare, is it? The Penelope Python Clutch is unpleasantly bold, a weird myriad of blue, purple, yellow and black that just doesn’t seem to work. Factor in the ugly floral embellishment and it’s not a pretty picture at all. This purse has a zip-top closure, which I always find slightly unusual […]
Fendi Python Chain Baguette
Snakeskin isn’t really for me, but I can’t help being just a bit drawn to this Fendi Python Chain Baguette. It’s rendered chic with its rainbow of cheerful colors, and it’s something I’d love to carry were it not for the material. Still, it’s so versatile thanks to the classic shape and numerous wardrobe pairing […]
Jimmy Choo Middle Zip Hobo, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
In my opinion navy will forever be a classic tone that compliments anyone’s look. Jimmy Choo certainly created a charming handbag made of both navy calf leather and suede marked by goldtone hardware and featuring a convertible middle zipper. This expandable, multi-purpose bag speaks of subdued luxury and understated glamour. Sling the top […]
Valentino Patent Petale Dome Bag, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Is it a coincidence that Valentine’s Day is around the corner and Valentino has created a romantic handbag in time for the rose-centered holiday? The Patent Petal Dome Bag available in both white and black patent leather isn’t overstating the bloom of love but certainly hints at one expensive floral gift which retails […]
Gucci New Jackie Large Bag
It looks like Gucci is sticking with the boho feel that did them well for FW 08. The SS 09 bags are out and they’re begging to be worn with a blouson top, dark jeans and perfectly tousled hair for that super luxe bohemian look. The New Jackie Large Bag is perfect for every day, […]
Marni Balloon Handbag, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
The oversized bag trend is one that many love and I’m sure many people hate. I love the trend because I just love big bags. As a working mom who is juggling all sorts of responsibilities and being prepared for the infinite amounts of “just-in-case” moments, a large bag is great solution. […]
Erin’s Style Picks: Pastel Purses
Um, is it spring yet? Seriously, if that little groundhog doesn’t come through, I’m going to blast it Caddyshack-style. Why am I so antsy? It might have something to do with the luscious Jordan Almond-hued handbags headed our way. Pinks, purples, a sky blue or two…it’s one dreamy shade after another. A few favorites:
Lanvin Happy […]
3.1 Phillip Lim Linda Clutch, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Upon first glance, the Linda Clutch by 3.1 Phillip Lim may seem like a simple oversized clutch. There are no appliques, embroidered detailing, or a handful of colorful charms dangling about, only two decorative gold studs on the back. But even without the glitz, its subtle details like gathered pleats and playful use […]
