Dolce & Gabbana Miss Martini Patchwork Pony Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
The Dolce & Gabbana Miss Martini Patchwork Pony Shoulder Bag is a fun way to work a lot of animals prints into your outfit at the same time.
Some of these prints are actually pony hair, originating from Italy and New Zealand, so not only does the bag make it look like you’re […]
Kooba Mila Clutch, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
The Kooba Mila Clutch is spangly and sexy.
This python-embossed leather clutch, with its demure, delicate wristlet and gold ring, is the perfect thing to spice up a little black dress — or a little green dress, a little gold dress, a little purple dress, and so on. The stripy colors are fresh […]

Filed under: Handbags
The Lauren Merkin Lotte Feather-Print Clutch is a bright, feathery bag without all the fuss.

And apparently they make exceptions for her. Beckham’s massive (for her, at least) Louis Vuitton Fox Tail Fur Tassels Messenger Bag is from the label’s spring/summer 2010 collection, which […]
New “It” Girl Carey Mulligan Hits the “Wall Street 2″ Set with Her Burberry Handbag
With plum roles in “An Education” and “Wall Street 2,” which also stars her new boyfriend, Shia LaBeouf (hate her yet?), Carey Mulligan pretty much has it made right now. The young actress looked chic on the film’s set in a fall-appropriate pea coat and scarf, plus a deep garnet Burberry tote slung over her […]
Rihanna Goes Tourist-Chic With Her Louis Vuitton Fanny Pack
Like any good tourist, Rihanna hit up London wearing a love-it-or-hate-it fanny pack, though, if it’s any consolation, hers was a monogrammed Louis Vuitton version in oatmeal-hued leather. The tassled bag made a dramatic statement against Rihanna’s gray sweater dress, but that’s her style - it’s all about pushing the envelope. So what say you? […]
