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... 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 r...

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. The fuchsia-colored eelskin leather makes it luxurious and the design is oh-so-cute. I love the peek-a-boo pleat down the front, ... Read Full Story

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. Clutches are better so I don't draw too much attention to myself, but maybe you're the type of woman who loves being the cent... Read Full Story

How cute is this magenta Gryson bag? I've liked the brands bags in the past but never had the urge to buy one because I felt they were a bit too structured and sturdy, which isn't a bad thing but sometimes you want a sturdy bag that looks soft. And this one does. The Hannah Bag has the same features we've come to love from designer Joy Gryson - structured satchel silhouette, multiple shoulder straps, exterior pocket with zip closure, interior pocket with zip closure and an interi...

There's so many haute bags to choose from so when purchasing my own, I try to buy from different designers. But Marc by Marc Jacobs has so many adorable options that I can't help but want to buy all of them! The Marc by Marc Jacobs Leather Hobo is a gorgeous hobo bag that comes in a chic tan tone that would be great for Spring but I'm really loving the standout royal blue. It's a slightly slouchy, oversized hobo with front pleating and a top band with metal logo plate. I own ... Read Full Story

Some trends just seem inescapable and fringe is one of them. Every season I see another fringe bag and cringe at the thought of the trend coming back full force. But this new take on fringe from Cleobella might make the trend one worth revisiting. The Cleobella Alive Fringe Bag ($528) is a large pebbled leather satchel with irregular, chunky strips of leather pieced throughout the bag to give a 'fringe' effect. The grey cow leather mixed with an Ikat-lined interior and braided strap... Read Full Story
