Since coming back from our cruise on Sunday, I’m still a bit on “cruise mode” (I miss hanging out at the Lido deck! ).  This of course, has not affected my love for handbags because I thought it would be fun to check out what Gucci had in store for their Cruise Collection.
Similar to a resort collection, a cruise collection features clothing and accessories target for holiday travel to warmer climates.  These small collections are a wonderful way to pick up a fun new accessory, to use now and in Spring and Summer, even if you’re not traveling.

While the Valentino tote I posted yesterday is beautiful, the price tag is a bit hefty. If you want to dive into the floral trend for Fall but don’t want a bag that’s as extravagant and busy as the Valentino tote, I highly suggest picking up this lovely bag from Dolce & Gabbana!
The Dolce & Gabbana Miss Escape Floral Tote ($995) is much tamer in comparison (and a teeny bit cheaper) and thus more wearable and versatile. Perfect as an every day bag, this will take you from work to weekend shopping trips.  What strikes me about this bag is …read more

As you may already know florals are huge for Fall. From roses and rosettes to floral patterned shoes, clothing and accessories – it’s almost as if designers want us to forget Winter and head straight into Spring! I can’t say I blame them because Spring is a beautiful time of year.
One of the ways you can incorporate the floral trend into your outfits is with a handbag. Valentino is known for their rose patterned leather bags and this one is no exception!
The Valentino Ricamo Romantic Flower Tote ($3995) is quite a bag. It screams Valentino, doesn’t it? You will definitely …read more

Are you itching to get yourself your first Louis Vuitton bag or are you looking to add to your ever-growing collection?  I don’t blame you. A Louis Vuitton bag is something you can’t fully appreciate until you’ve seen and held one up close. They’re impeccably made and will last and look amazing forever.
November is a great time to get serious about this purchase because, through the month of November, Louis Vuitton will be donating 10% of the purchase price, on select bags, to the American Red Cross!

You need a red bag. No really, you do! No other colour will catch the eye as easily or garner compliments as much as a red handbag. The key is finding the right bag in the right shade. A red bag isn’t just for Fall or Winter, it’s something you can carry year-round. For those times when you want to punch up your outfit or stand apart from the crowd.
The Marc Jacobs Quilted Leather Stam Satchel ($1350) has been reincarnated for the, 2009 Resort Collection, into this gorgeous red shade. It’s quite stunning and the satchel shape of the Stam …read more

I’ve showcased a lot of high-end and mid-range bags this month and while they’re all quite beautiful and sometimes worth the splurge, not everyone has the means to pick up an expensive piece of arm candy. Cue in Urban Outfitters, I can always count on UO to have cute accessories.
Here are a few bags by Deux Lux that will make your fall and winter outfits pop!
Asymmetrical Zip Bag ($68) I adore the green colour, so pretty and can work for either Fall or Spring. This one is also available in a pretty navy blue and brown.
Studded Hobo ($68) Similar to …read more

Alexander Wang handbags have been seen on just about every major style icon like from Mary-Kate Olsen to Nicole Richie just to name a few.

One of the best parts of my job is discovering new designers. There are loads of well known, new and upcoming handbag designers on the market today and it can get a little overwhelming for handbag lovers, especially for those of you who might be new to the whole designer bag market.  I’d like to establish a new series where I will profile new and established bag designers so we can all get to know the artists behind each brand and new “it” bag.
Let’s start off with a designer you may not be all too familiar with, Gorjana.  You …read more
