Sure we all want handbags that are functional and versatile to take us from the office to the weekend. But sometimes, one wants a handbag (or two) that is just pretty and feminine. Cue in Lanvin!
Lanvin handbags are a fun and functional mix of chains, ribbons and leather. While with some handbags with that combination can end up looking tacky (some Juicy Couture bags come to mind…), Lanvin knows how to keep things balanced.
The gorgeous and lady like Lanvin Happy Shoulder Bag ($1695) reminds me of the Chanel flap bags but with a twist. The twist is the black velvet …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!
When you purchase the classic Monogram Canvas Speedy, a Keepall, Noe or Alma bag …read more

Every full fledged fashionista knows that fashion can cause a knee jerk reaction. Sometimes, you’ll see a garment or accessory that will turn you off, or make you laugh or it may even confuse you. That’s the beauty and the fun of fashion and also the reason why we love it and are addicted.
For the holiday season, there will be a number of fun party dresses we’ll either adore and admire, covet and conspire to get and ones that make you want to run in the opposite direction.  I came across this amazing Marchesa dress on the Bergdorf Goodman website …read more

Do you recall that lovely Christian Louboutin Python Shoulder Bag I wrote about a couple days ago? Well, I found another python bag, this time from Marc Jacobs, that’s just a wee bit cheaper. Ok, it’s not that much cheaper but it’s less than the CL bag, that’s for sure. It’s a bit bigger too!
The Marc Jacobs Stardust Printed Python Rio Satchel is a one of a kind type of bags. It’s a bit on the “look at me” side of the handbag spectrum but I definitely wouldn’t mind looking at this one up close (or getting one …read more

Do you want to treat yourself to a new handbag? Do you have say, $19,500 lying around?  To be clear, that’s nineteen thousand five hundred US dollars.
If you do have the cash (hello, please adopt me?) and want to spoil yourself you can pick up this mind numbingly expensive Bottega Veneta bag!
From afar, the Bottega Veneta Large Veneta Crocodile Bag looks like your regular, run of the mill hobo but up close is where you’ll see why this bag is worth so much money. For instance, it’s made out of crocodile skin and that stuff doesn’t come cheap ladies!  It’s …read more

There’s not a whole lot I like about the current 80s fashion revival. I’m not a fan of shoulder pads no matter how minimal or the invasion of leggings. However, I can appreciate a few of the studded bags and bold, brightly coloured accessories as long as they’re done tastefully.
This new Versace hobo is a prime example of those bright yet sophisticated accessories that are making an impact.
As you can see the Versace New Couture Leather Hobo isn’t something you’ll be able to ignore. The Acid Green colour is quite an attention grabber but what I love most about …read more

This season Prada is showing us what drama means by way of their latest handbag line up. The Prada Fall runway handbag collection includes tried and true classic leather bags with bags that are opulent, eye-catching and quite spectacular.
Prada Tessuto Ricamo Tote ($3695) – With all the sequins on this bag it would definitely weigh a ton if it were leather. However it’s made out of black nylon. It features floral embroidery that is embellished with sequins all over the front of the bag. The double handles are leather and a detachable shoulder strap is included. The size is generous …read more

Remember when I showed you the exotic Versace Eelskin Shopper and the Gryson Painted Eel Olivia Bag? Well, I came across another exotic handbag on Net-A-Porter and I must say, this one is quite fabulous! If you’re looking to invest in a muted statement bag, this one from Yves Saint Laurent will not disappoint.
The Yves Saint Laurent Le Sixième Printed Stingray Bag ($1695) is not real stingray but it is luxurious all the same. This bag was named after the utterly hip and posh neighborhood in the Left Bank of Paris, and it is quite hip and posh to say …read more

We’ve seen an influx of shiny metallic handbags for fall and shoes are getting in on the action as well. This fall give someone an amazing pair of shoes that will infuse a bit of the metallic trend into their fall ensembles and look amazing for winter and beyond.
Manolo Blahnik Metallic Campari Mary Jane ($645) – The iconic mary janes look quite smashing in a pretty metallic bronze with brown contrast piping detail.
Valentino Rose Pump ($775) – The dark grey shiny leather of these shoes is wonderfully contrasted with the black satin rosette embellishments. If a shoe can be …read more

One of the few recurring fall handbag trends we see every year is the red handbag. No other colour can make such a statement as a red bag. It can look subdued and even neutral yet it can be used as a pop of colour or accent piece as well.

Jimmy Choo Tassel Hobo ($1895)
Prada Chain Strap Hobo ($795)
Salvatore Ferragamo Gancio Nappa Levante Shoulder Bag ($1290)

Dior Panarea Medium Tote …read more
