I must say, Hilary Duff is quite the stylish Hollywood starlet. I always enjoy checking out her latest outfits and how she puts it all together. While I don't agree in her taste of men (aka Mike Comrie--if you're from Edmonton you know what I mean), she always look effortlessly cool and chic. Check out her JJ Winters yellow, croc-embossed, leather clutch. This edgy envelope clutch is perfect for summer nights, with it's pop of bright colour and faux-croc leather, giving it a sunny look...

So I was flipping through the new Instyle Shape issue the other day, and came across the summery Tory Burch Rattan clutch in red. They styled it quite simply, pairing it with an all white ensemble and a red skinny belt. It was nice, clean and crisp. I tried looking for the red version but alas couldn't find it online--but I did find the silver and gold metallic versions instead! These might actually be a better option because you could pair it with so many different outfits throughout the... Read Full Story
I'm kind of in love with the site Funky La-La right now because they provide free shipping to both the USA and Canada! Being a Canadian gal high shipping costs and duties on top of the price of the bag can hurt big time. So having free ground shipping is a may-jah plus!!! To make things even sweeter is that Funky La LA is having a sale! (Sorry for all the free promotion--but this is what the promise of free shipping does to me :P) Check out the funky Gryson Luiza in liquid red patent... Read Full Story
Wow...it's been awhile! First of all just want to say sorry about the severe lack of posts--a month without handbag reviews--yikes! To be honest I was just getting back into the groove of things after my six-week Euro trip...which btw was fantastic! Both the Spanish and the Portugese have some serious handbag style I must say. I drooled over Longchamp, Mulberry, and some gorgeous Gerard Darels and almost bought the Buckled Barcelona in clay, but as it was near the end of the trip my purse... Read Full Story
I love studs on pretty much anything--perhaps it's the pseudo-rocker in me! If done right they can add an edge to a boring bag or an outfit. Take this Loefffler Randall Katia Envelope clutch for example. Without the studs the taupe leather does nothing for me, it would look like just an overpriced envelope! But with the studs--voilà! Perfection! Who would of thought that six, geometrically placed, pyramid studs could transform a bland clutch into something with a bit more flair and style... Read Full Story
How gorgeous is this? Muy, muy magnífico! Forgive me, but I'm trying to pick up a bit of Spanish, and doing quite horribly as I've never been talented with foreign tongues. Ah well, can't hurt a girl for trying! ¿Sí? Spain has got me excited for all things exotic and this bag is definitely striking! This beautiful evening clutch is hand-set in rectangular, white-toned, Brazilian bone beads. The bone beads and the architectural setting are so fresh and original--definitely a bag that will...

Ooo whatta find! This Michael Kors Ranger Slouchy hobo in soft grained, yellow leather is absolutely divine! This bright hobo is absolutely perfect for summer. It reminds me of a sporty Tod's bag. It features brushed silver metal hardware, a padded leather shoulder strap and a zip top with an oversized pull. A girl can never have too many pockets, and this bag has three flapped pouch pockets with magnetic closures. All of the links on the bag are logo engraved, maintaining it's discreet chic...

So Furla is everywhere in Europe...everywhere! But I'm not complaining! They create well-made yet trendy bags, all of which I want to take home. Sadly I cannot--but I will do my darndest to window shop as long as I'm here! I find the Furla Lara Large Shopper particularly drool worthy. This glam bag features black patent, whipsnake-embossed leather with grey panels on the sides. I looove the intertwined shoulder strap, which is the best part for me. The bag has silvertoned hardware, a... Read Full Story
This is a bit different from my usual pick of bags. Marni's leather shoulder bag in a beautiful, dark, sea green is a little bit more contemporary than I'm used to, but I love it! This art deco influenced piece would be a great evening bag, with the focal point clearly being the unique clasp. The leather has a crackled texture, the handle is composed of shiny calf-leather and the clasp is made of acyrlic resin. The nylon-lined interior features one patch pocket and one zip pocket. Dimensions... Read Full Story
Loeffler Randall always creates stunning bags that exude simplicity with a touch of the unexpected. The Bedelia is no exception. This nude, patent leather beauty is a classic hobo shape, yet the woven double belts keeps the look fresh. The gathered detailing gives the bag a relaxed feel, but the nude colour and minimal hardware keeps it chic. The flap features a raised border and is magnetic. The lined interior has two slide pockets and dimensions are 13.5” W x 10” H x 4.5" D, with an... Read Full Story
