My new lust is her Shiny Croc Tote in camel. This fabulous bag features a front flap with a magnetic closure and a luxurious cream suede lining.

When I saw the name of this handbag, I thought it would be white. But “marshmallow” isn’t for the color but rather the softness of the leather. This Fendi handbag has a pleated top and a slight texture to the ultra soft leather. This bag is very pricey ($1,450) but the style and color will be on trend year in and year out.

This shoulder bag is roomy enough for everyday at 14 inches wide. The flap has a snap closure and inside you’ll find a soft cotton lining. The strap is unique with the leather woven through the chain-link. When splurging on a designer bag, pick one like this in a classic shape to get the most wear out of it.

You can purchase this Fendi shoulder bag at Saks Fifth Avenue right now. It comes in your choice of black or natural. Natural color bags are really hot for fall and this shade could actually work all year round.

Yves Saint Laurent Roady Metallic Tote

Metallic handbags are fun for evening. Silver clutches and gold wristlets in glossy leather are cool for parties and events. However, metallics can also work for daytime if you pick the right colors. For fall, bronze is a hot choice in handbags. Look for bronze bags for day that aren’t overly shiny. This one from Yves Saint Laurent is just perfect.

The YSL Roady Metallic Tote is a Neiman Marcus exclusive. It features tobacco (bronze) metallic calf leather accented with silvertone hardware and tonal piping. Inside this large bag, you’ll find a black satin lining and plenty of room. At 15 inches wide and 14 1/4 inches high, it’s big enough to hold everything you need.

This tote will blend nicely into your fall wardrobe. It would be absolutely gorgeous paired with chocolate brown, dark green and other fall shades. You can get this Yves Saint Laurent tote right now at Neiman Marcus on pre-order for $1,595.

I’m not normally a fan of the shoes that have a thick ankle cuff. They always look too chunky and clunky for my taste. But these Manolo Blahnik patent leather sandals are an exception for me. Originally priced at $745, these pretty Manolo Blahnik Pepe features an open toe and back, along with a wide elastic ankle band.

Go for the Bronze!

Kori Ellis — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 01:24:23 +0000

Metallic handbags and shoes are a hot choice this summer. But instead of silver or gold, look from something a little different — like bronze or pewter. Recently, I came upon this bronze Marc Jacobs bag at Neiman Marcus. It’s gorgeous!

The Jen zip-top shoulder bag features rich bronze metallic leather complemented with goldtone hardware. The bag is gently pleated in the front and has round top handles, which are attached by square rings.

This large leather bag is 16-inches wide — big enough to carry all your essentials but not overwhelming. You can get the Marc Jacobs Jen at Neiman Marcus for $825.

Stella McCartney Piercing Tote

Kori Ellis — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 03:22:44 +0000

The attention on neutral handbags will continue through the summer and into fall. Camel is a hot color choice that is versatile and sophisticated. Stella McCartney’s Piercing tote comes in crinkled camel patent leather. This roomy handbag is simply gorgeous.

As part of the Stella McCartney pre-fall collection, this bag is available right now at Bergdorf Goodman. Priced at $1,395, it’s definitely a big splurge. Keep in mind though, the style is simple enough that you’ll be able to wear it season after season.

Another bag that I really love from the pre-fall collections is this stunning grey bag from Christian Louboutin. The leather softy bag features gentle pleating in the front and goldtone hardware. Grey is always big for fall fashon but you don’t usually find that many great grey bags. This one is certainly worth a look. Priced at $1,695, the Christian Louboutin bag is also at Bergdorf Goodman.

I love Nancy Gonzales handbags. She takes crocodile and jazzes it up with fabulous color, unique designs and special details. My new obsession is her pearlized croc clutch.

Her iconic crocodile clutch goes gold, but it’s not your everyday gold. It’s not overly glossy, but rather pearly for an amazing look. This Caiman fuscus crocodile clutch has a gently pleated body and a flap top. Inside, you will find a rich suede lining.

At 14 1/2-inches wide, this croc clutch isn’t a small evening bag. It’s big enough that it can be your go-to piece for all dressy occasions. This Nancy Gonzalez bag is definitely a luxury buy. It’s available at Neiman Marcus and other top stores for $2,600.

Simply gorgeous!

There are so many hot designer handbags to choose from, that it’s hard to decide what to buy even if you have the cash. If I were going to splurge on one neutral bag right now, this might be it. The Dior Cannage medium shopper in natural lamb leather is simple stunning. As with most Dior bags, it’s all about the details.

This handbag features supple leather with crosscross detailing and dangling Dior logo charm. What I really love is the cinched top that creates a slouchy shape and the chain straps.

This Dior bag is roomy enough to carry all your necessities without being oversized. It’s 16 inches wide and over 12 inches high. This shopper is definitely a splurge. Right now it’s available for $2,600 at Neiman Marcus.
