A little mellow even for a handbag so shiny, Marc Jacobs’ Patent East West Tote is really fairly simple and acceptable for everyday wear. It makes a soft statement with its cream color, but the large tonal studs add an edgy vibe. That said, this has a tendency to look a bit dull in person. A dash of color would work wonders for this monochromatic purse. It’s roomy and practical, but there are so many other choices out there ...

Calling to mind images of Laura Ashley dresses and picnics in romantic fields, the Kate Spade Miramar Alison has a sort of country-ish sensibility about it. Despite the fact that it also somehow resembles a lunchbox, it projects charm with its kelly green hue, straw-like exterior and printed cotton interior. Very feminine and dainty, it’s not exactly practical, but it has a summery quality that might make it the perfect accessory to pair with - what else? - your long, ...
When I think Tumi, I think carry-on luggage. Imagine my surprise when I saw this cute tote peeping out at me from the Tumi website! This patent purse is made of Italian calf leather and lined in suede, and trimmed in a contrasting vachetta leather. While no status bag, this Tumi Palm Beach Tote is practical (expect any less from Tumi?) and fashion-minded without being conspicuous — perfect for the traveling fashionista. I’m impressed that Tumi ...
Bear with me whilst I go on my clutch kick, will ya? A girl can never have enough clutches! This Franchi Megan Silk Clutch is so perfectly feminine, it makes me want to don precious pink tulle and look for my glass slippers! The shape is elegant in its rounded curves and the restrained use of subtle gold trim is a perfect compliment for this palest of pink fabric. The soft folds in the silk adds ...
Like most New Yorkers, I hold membership to a gym within a 3 block walk to my place of employment. This means my gym options are: work out before work, work out during the lunch hour, or work out after work. Which in turn means that the morning and evening commute is rife with New Yorkers holding way too many bags, one of which (usually the ugliest, most beat up one) is a repository for workout gear. ...
As a true-blue, bona fide city slicker, I shy away from accessories that have that borrowed-from-my-country-cousin look, and that usually includes accessories with wood accents. This Rafe Martina Wood Frame Clutch straddles that crossover line, but doesn’t quite make it across the border. Made of laser-cut deer skin in a decidedly asian motif (fitting, considering the designer’s background), and trimmed in a warm wood, the clutch sends strong vacay vibes. While the colors compliment each other in ...
Here is one celebrity anyone would be hard pressed to say something negative about. Gisele Bundchen and her mile-long limbs took to the windy streets of New York City, YSL Besace in tow. Gisele is seen here hailing a cab across from the restaurant, Caliente. It’s a wonder Ms. Bundchen, famous as she is, hasn’t been struck by some vicious press, considering she’s been in the public eye since her 1996 debut (Fashion Week, no less!) onto ...
Tired of Victoria Beckham yet? Neither am I! We all suspect Victoria’s purse closet is actually an Hermes workroom but with her relationship with Marc Jacobs solidified via their earlier ad campaign, Posh has really been eager to show off her friend’s work. Mrs. Beckham was seen in the same dress, presumably on the same day, with not one but TWO of Marc Jacobs’ newest creations: The Serafima Bag on Bag Purse on the left and ...
Here’s my pick for this summer. If you purchase just one bag this season, it should be this one: the Foley and Corinna City Tote in this gorgeous, limited edition violet. This style tote has been quietly climbing the popularity scale here in New York for the last year or so and no wonder! Its design allows it to be a tote, a shoulder bag, an oversized clutch, and provided the chain is long enough, a messenger ...
Almost magnetically, the sunlit Kooba Nelli Double Zip Soft Shopper draws you right in. Whether that’s due to the highly unusual, unstructured shape or the blinding yellow hue isn’t important. The question is - could you carry this anywhere? Is it even a shopper? Measuring in at around 14 inches high by 12 inches wide, it’s not the largest handbag in the world, but it’s got an interesting charm that might just be enhanced by the fact that this season ...
Victoria and David Beckham sure have a packed social calendar. They were spotted on a double date with Kate Beckinsale and her hubby Len Wiseman recently. Victoria and her just-as-beautiful hubby were photographed holding hands in the car — how sweet is that! While Kate arrived in a stunning red dress and Christian Louboutin nude patent No. Prives, Victoria was spotted in contrasting black and pink, toting a fun Marc Jacobs Rana purse, and wearing two ...
Tory Burch never fails to leave her distinctive mark on everything she designs, whether they’re trendy flats or bold tote bags. Her Jane Tote is a slight departure from her usual offerings, yet its graphic print is still right in line with what we’re familiar with. Since it’s PVC, it’s great for a day at the beach or strolling the boardwalk. Included is a small pouch in a complementary color. Available in orange pink and this pulled together navy ...
So Gucci is milking the Hysteria collection for all it’s worth. While designers continue to crank out a bevy of handbags each season, certain houses understand how one style of a particular collection can just stick unlike anything else, and when this happens, the It bag is born. Increasing their chances of having a hit, designers are creating 5+ styles of a certain collection to ensure that at least one “hooks” a starlet, and thus the public. The result is ...
One of the more recent Marc by Marc Jacobs shows was a sublime showcase of bold, transitional pieces with a decidedly retro feel. The designer’s Owl Leather handbag follows suit, boasting a structured shape so reminiscent of elegant ladies who lunch. The red adds a neutral pop of color. Since it’s a color for all seasons, plan on wearing this often. It’s just as suitable for the office as it is an errand run. Best of all, it’s a ...
