Whenever I hear a Beyonce song for the first time, immediately I can't stand it, but after hearing it over and over and over again, I eventually fall in love with it, add it to my iPod and can unfortunately recite every lyric. Sometimes it's that way with bags too - I may not appreciate it or 'get it' at first glance but eventually, I'm sold. That's exactly what happened with this Michael Kors 'Zuma - Small' Satchel ($1,295). I saw it several times on NORDSTROM.com and I just kept passing it ... Read Full Story

I seriously thought the end of the fall/winter 2008/2009 fashion season would be the end of fugly bags. I was wrong. Maybe my expectations were too high but I've been seeing so many beautiful spring bags lately that I just wasn't expecting something so odd looking. The D&G Dolce & Gabbana 'Waikiki Jenna' Shoulder Bag has one plus since it's in my fave color, pink, but that's where the love ends. What is it exactly? A wristlet? A clutch? Shoulder bag? I'm really confused about how to ... Read Full Story

Ok, obviously pink is the color of the moment. Fuchsia, hot pink and magenta bags are popping up everywhere and the color, combined with the fabulous touch of Pauric Sweeney equals a must have bag! There's not a Pauric Sweeney bag that I haven't loved and this Pauric Sweeney Mini Overnight 3 Shoulder Bag goes right to the top of my 'want it' list.

I'm a sucker for anything shiny and sparkly. Not tacky shiny and sparkly stuff, but classy things. Usually this includes jewelry - diamonds preferably! But I'll go for other accessories too like shoes (love my Tory Burch flats with the big gold logo plate on the toe), wallets (also love my bronze metallic Lovcat wallet) and of course metallic handbags.
