Oscar de la Renta Darjeeling Minaudiere
Filed under: Handbags
Minaudieres do not carry much, just the essentials, but they make a powerfully artistic and elegant statement. Oscar de la Renta’s Darjeeling Miniaudiere has a bright gold tone that makes it stunning and eye catching while a grouping of birds and hearts charmingly decorate the tiny clutch. It features a beautifully crafted […]
Lanvin Amalia Python Bag, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
This is the first handbag that I’ve covered that really makes me think fall, and I honestly almost skipped it over for that very reason — I’m not ready! But it’s a perfectly lovely Lanvin shoulder bag nevertheless, in a trendy shade of olive python perfect for coordinating with all your fall tones. […]
Marni Suede Frame Bag, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
This cute little frame bag by Marni has what I can only describe as an eclectic mix of materials, colors, and textures. Described as “modern-vintage” this bag has lots of personality but can still be paired with almost anything thanks to its neutral color scheme. Charcoal suede, silvertone hardware, a turquoise clasp, and […]
Gucci Icon Bit Tote, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
In case black patent leather isn’t shiny enough for you: enter the Gucci Icon Bit Tote.
This patent leather shines in rainbow colors, for a glamorous, oil-tycoonista-rich effect. What’s the “Bit” thing about? Check out the handles — horsebit detail. We also love the additional D-shaped ruthenium hardware, adding complexity to the look.
The tote […]
LeAnn Rimes & Her Break-Up Balenciaga Bag
Well, I don’t like to kick someone when they’re down, but: LeAnn, SWEATS? With a perfectly adorable Balenciaga? Really? No, really? The recently separated crooner certainly dressed the part of a lovelorn lady, pairing her petite Balenciaga bag with sloppy sweats and flip-flops. All that’s missing is the pint of ice cream. Love the purse, […]
Nancy Gonzalez Zebra Hobo, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Our love affair with Nancy Gonzalez continues with this striking Zebra Hobo.
Made in Columbia, this bag features a warm tan and black zebra-print haircalf exterior with shiny black Caiman fuscus crocodile accents, double top handles with a magnetic closure, and protective feet on the bottom. The inside has zipper pockets and a cell […]
Angelina Jolie & Her Gucci Handbag
They’re baaaaaack. Angelina Jolie and son Maddox flew home to LA after a humanitarian trip to Iraq, and they brought Angelina’s Gucci Guccissima handbag along for the ride. The black bag is a smart carry-on choice: roomy, versatile, and still chic as hell. Plus, it comes in black, which, judging by this photo, seems to […]
Blake Lively Pouts with Prada
Why so glum, chum? I know if I got to wear a sexy burgundy minidress and a lovely, not-exactly-coordinated mint Prada clutch around work all day, I could find it within myself to slap on a smile. Blake Lively’s sad face nonwithstanding, she looks pretty darn fierce in this get-up, which doesn’t match at all […]
Damask Curved Clutch, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Pretty, glitzy, and a little mesmerizing if you stare at it too long, the Damask Curved Clutch by Judith Leiber is another one of her creations that indulges to the max in Austrian crystals. Leaves and a floral pattern are created in simple indigo blue and white (well, clear actually), with silver hardware […]
Prada Velluto Jacquard Tote, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
In happy hues of yellow with a classic disposition, the Prada Velluto Jacquard Tote is sophisticated yet welcoming. The velvet jacquard pattern brings old world charm to a modern, smooth nylon handbag for just $1,450. Carry along this tote using either the double briefcase handles (3″ drop) or detachable shoulder strap (7 1/2″ […]
