Filed under: Handbags
A pretty, structured bag in a nice shade of blue that’s somewhere between navy and periwinkle, the studs are what really give this Temperly London design most of its personality.

Filed under: Handbags, Pets
Have you ever been walking along, noticed a lovely, large-ish purse, and then, upon closer inspection, saw a little dog in it? Seems the days of utilitarian Sherpa Bags are over, at least for on-the-go, sophisticated dogs and their owners (unless you’re flying, then they’re the best). Anyway … Here’s a high-end, […]

Tamlin & The Fall Miniaudieres, Handbags of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Miniaudiere’s have always been less handbag and more jewelry, a sort of half-ling of the accessory world.

Leighton Meester Does Late Night with Louis Vuitton
Leighton Meester has emerged as much of a clotheshorse as her TV alter ego, Blair Waldorf. And though the ensemble she wore for a “Late Night with David Letterman” appearance - a puffy dove gray blouse paired with high-waisted black trousers - won’t appeal to everyone, I think we can all agree that her silver […]
