Michael Kors Runway Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags
Woo! I love this pink. How can you not? Hot pink has been popular for ages and here it is done up nice and classy by Michael Kors in sleek patent leather and contemporary silver hardware. The top is framed and opens on a hinge, with nothing more than a tiny logo embossed […]


Jessica Simpson Doubles Up with Louis Vuitton & Alexander McQueen Handbags

Why carry one designer bag when you can carry two? Jessica Simpson once again brought out her favorite new leaf-adorned Alexander McQueen purse, but must have felt underdressed. The solution? A Louis Vuitton dog-carrier for her pup Daisy, of course! It’s a little OTT, and I’m still not sold on the McQueen, but I do […]


Elsie Lamé Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags
Here’s a pretty dose of neutral glam in the form of the Lamé Shoulder Bag by Chloé. Golden hues and opulence in every inch is the name of game here, with a simple fold-over design enhanced by subtle details like a delicate gold-tone double chain shoulder strap, logo-embossed (and uniquely designed) turnlock front […]


McQueen Knuckle Duster Patent Leather Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags
I’ve never considered a handbag could double as a self-defense mechanism, unless it had a brick inside or something equally heavy, but Alexander McQueen’s Knuckle Duster Patent Leather Clutch would certainly bring more than a slap to an unwelcome visitor’s body. Accenting the top ridge of this richly covered bag are skull and […]


Designer Baby Satchels at Saks

Filed under: Handbags, Children
Even mothers want to make a stylish statement when pushing their prams and if they’re going to be lugging around all of that baby gear it might as well be in a designer bag. I knew that more affordable designers like JP Lizzy and Vera Bradley made diaper bags but honestly until […]


Miranda Kerr Schmoozes with Orlando & Her Prada Purse

What a lucky girl. Not only does beautiful supermodel Miranda Kerr get to go home with British hottie Orlando Bloom (a fella so handsome I even swooned when he had that silly blonde wig in “Lord of the Rings”), but she gets to walk around with a stunning Prada Lace Bowler as well. Color me […]


Jimmy Choo Martha Pony Skin Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags
Who doesn’t like a clutch for its undeniable portability? Better yet, who doesn’t like a expandable handbag of any size? For these two reasons I am cheering for Jimmy Choo’s new Martha Pony Skin Clutch which couples portability with versatility in volume. Constructed of multi-colored pony skin and suede marked in the middle […]


Miniature Magnolia Box by Judith Leiber, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags
Judith Leiber’s tiny clutches are not new to Luxist but I couldn’t resist her Miniature Magnolia Box. Maybe it’s my family’s southern heritage or the giant magnolia blooms that used to amaze me with their fragrant scent and larger-than-life size (at least for a girl from the arid west). The entire little evening […]


First Peek at Madonna’s New Louis Vuitton Campaign

Hold on to your blue taffeta bunny ears, girls - the first photo from Steven Meisel’s shots of the new Madonna/Louis Vuitton campaign, dubbed “Part Deux,” has been released. Here we see a suspiciously youthful Madge sporting more wild headgear (eat your heart out, Aretha) while wearing a divine magenta frock and clutching a Louis […]


Fergie & Will.i.am Steal the Show at Louis Vuitton

Perez who? Bandmates Fergie and Will.i.am seem to have bounced back from the latest Black Eyed Peas drama just in time to hit the Paris menswear shows. First stop: Louis Vuitton! Fergie showed some major brand loyalty in her midnight blue Louis Vuitton frock cinched with a glam LV belt. But the best part for […]
