Mini Mini-MAB Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags
Rebecca Minkoff must love rustic shades of orange because last month we posted on papaya-colored ‘Stud Devote Belted Tote‘ and now today we have this Mini Mini-MAB bag that comes in the same shade. It’s tiny and boxy and full of personality despite having very little adornments aside from decorative tassels on the […]


Coach Tattoo Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags
I posted on this plastic Mulberry Ice-Cream tote earlier this month and now here’s another clear plastic handbag: the Tattoo Tote from Coach. There’s a whole group of Coach bags with their new “Tattoo” styling, this one in the form of a transparent PVC tote bag with white leather trim and braided goldtone […]


‘Estelle’ Leather Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags
This ‘Estelle’ leather satchel by Versace is so cute and so sleek at the same time — I didn’t even know that was really possible until now. It must be the combination of slick black leather and ruched poofiness that does it for me, plus of course it has silver hardware (always my […]


Braided Patchwork Hobo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags
The Braided Patchwork Hobo by Bottega Veneta will bring soft, slouchy leather to your wardrobe in a pretty shade of light chocolate brown accented with darker brown weaving for a patchwork look turned slightly retro thanks to the thick braided double handle. The roomy interior is lined in luxe gray suede and features […]

Gem-Embellished Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags
The Gem-Embellished Clutch is another sparkling floral beauty by Stella McCartney. Light and neutral, it will go with all kinds of spring and summer dresses or even a pretty blouse with jeans might work. Champagne twill is accented with silvertone hardware and pretty flower gem embellishments on both the front and back, in […]


Lindsay Lohan Goes Globe-Trotting with Gucci

Whoa. How’d Daisy Duke get her hands on a Gucci bag? Oh, wait, that’s just Lindsay Lohan, randomly pairing her summery cropped (read: way too short) peasant blouse, fringed sandals, and cropped (read: again, WAY too short) cut-offs with an elegant Gucci monogrammed carry-all. Love the Gucci, but it looks totally wrong with this youthful, […]


Brahmin Les Femmes Izzie, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags
The Brahmin Les Femmes Izzie is a classic shoulder bag with simple details that make all the difference.
This modest, crocodile embossed handbag is 9″ x 12.75″ x 4.25″ and has a sturdy shape — made delicate and feminine by the gentle bowing at the top, accentuated by the arch of the front slide […]


Weekend Getaway Luggage

Filed under: Handbags, Journeys
It’s always a good time for a weekend getaway. With life’s daily routine, challenges and unexpected twists and turns, it’s nice to have a weekend with family and friends to take a break and recharge. And now that the warm weather has been making it’s appearance on a more consistent basis, we […]


Corto Moltedo Pricilla Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags
I love fold over bags. This may sound silly and ridiculous, but I like how easy it is to fold over the flap and its closed - no zippers or snaps, just an easy movement of my arm and it’s closed. It sounds extremely lazy but I often find myself, and see […]
