Moonsus Gallery Laptop Tote, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Ages ago, a co-worker told me pointedly that it was OK to carry two bags, say, a purse and a commuter bag. But venture into three, and you’ve crossed over into “bag lady” territory. So when I saw this laptop tote that also is big enough to carry other essentials and not too […]
L.A.M.B Rouse Clutch, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Bright colors and summer fashion seem to go hand in hand. Perhaps it’s due to how easily color adds instant excitement and a refreshing sense of newness to virtually any outfit. Take for example L.A.M.B’s neon candy colored Rouse Clutch. It’s eye-popping orange yet hot pink with a mix of tangerine is certainly […]
Miranda Kerr is Pretty in Pink & Prada
Miranda Kerr is looking precious in pink, and I’m green with envy. The Victoria’s Secret model/gal pal of Orlando Bloom looks stunning in her bubblegum pink blazer, jeans, and Prada ombre handbag…such a great ensemble for summer. The purse isn’t one I’d normally go for, but I think its ombre effect works well with this […]
Kourtney and Kim Kardashian Take Fendi & Balenciaga for a Spin
The Kardashian gals have lightened up considerably since their all-black attire at the Michael Jackson memorial, but Kourtney still has the same purse. Even with her summery white dress, the Fendi To You Clutch’s orange and black color palette turns me off - way too harlequin and Halloween for me. I do, however, love Kim’s […]
Judith Leiber’s Latest in Sparkling Pillboxes
Filed under: Handbags
Judith Leiber has a variety of styles but one of the most notable is her penchant for cutesy objects and animals in crystal-covered handbag and pillbox form. Although the little miniaudieres are certainly unique and beautiful, it can be difficult for some women to imagine themselves carrying around a large sparkling animal or […]
Nancy Gonzalez’s Brilliant Croc Framed Satchel, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Feeling citrus-inspired? Summer time always brings out the perky, citrus-side of me causing an infusion of lemons, limes and oranges into as many dishes and drinks as possible. This Brilliant Croc Framed Satchel from Nancy Gonzalez certainly tempts my palate in this lime green hue. Loud enough to stand up to a weekend […]
Christian Louboutin Cadeau Bow Kiss-Lock Clutch, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
The Christian Louboutin Cadeau Bow Kiss-Lock Clutch is a scrumptious little bag — it’s almost pretty enough to eat.
This clutch is made with luscious blue velvet (someone should send one to Isabella Rossellini), in a rich, warm shade you almost never see. This color is an excellent choice, as it’s dark, but not […]
The Perfect Casual Shopping Tote, Handbags of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
After reading my colleague Rigel’s post about Anya Hindmarch’s task-oriented canvas totes I began to hunt for other casual shopping totes for that occasional trip to the farmer’s market, antique fair or wine country visit. There is no reason you should have to haul everything in your arms or, heaven forbid, gather your […]
Judith Leiber’s Shimmering Python Clutch, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
There is something so fantastic about an indigo hued bag with iridescent inklings. Then again I have dubbed this the ‘year of purple’ for my own wardrobe. The Shimmering Python Clutch from Judith Lieber is just one of the many handbags Bergdorf Goodman has tapped for their Fall Collection already available online. The […]
Burberry Check Print Tote
Here’s your chance to score some Burberry on the (relative) cheap: This Check Print Tote is part of the upcoming Fall ‘09 collection. It’s a practical nylon carryall etched with the label’s signature check print, except this style is much more cold weather-appropriate with its rich purple, gray and burgundy color scheme. For $250, it’s […]
