Leather Burberry bags either kill or don’t even get your palette wet, and unfortunately, this one does the latter. While it is made of soft, pebbled leather, the purse leaves a lot to be desired as far as design. It’s simply too boring and lackluster for the $1,095 that Burberry is asking, and with mass retailers using high end materials, you’re likely to find something just as nice from Club Monaco or Banana Republic. The Burberry Ashbury is ...

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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Eager to put in as much face time as possible for her show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim flew across the country to attend a Party at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic city on Saturday night. She came dressed in head to toe black - body hugging knit dress and thigh high boots. Her rhodoid (read: plastic) chain Chanel completed her ensemble. Her companion (sister? but which one?) is dressed similarly to Kim in all black and ...
If you’ve just about had it up to here with the old check print and could do with something a bit more edgy, you might be intrigued by the new Burberry Debossed Hobo. It’s equal parts glamorous and classic, boasting the brand’s signature logo crest at its center and a wonderfully slouchy, grainy leather. Whether you pair the purse with your jeans, gladiators and relaxed floral top for a trendy springtime look or wear it to the office with your ...
The unusual Kooba Roni Asymmetrical Pleat Hobo is certainly aptly named - just check out that unexpected shape. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a welcome change from the seemingly endless supply of black leather handbags that dominate our little world. Just like the essential Little Black Dress, the black bag is something all women need. The difference? We don’t need hundreds of them. One classic and one unusual, like this interesting piece, should do just fine. Also available in ...
Burberry deserves so much credit for never abandoning its classic print, yet still making each creation look new and fresh. I’m constantly impressed by that, even if I don’t always happen to love the bags. This Cutout Drawstring Shopper is a prime example of doing something unconventional to keep the check print from appearing too staid. The diamond-shaped cutouts reveal a gleamy underlay of shiny calfskin, and the gold trim helps to amp up the metallic appeal.
Available to pre-order ...
Think this thing has enough zippers? While I wouldn’t exactly call this D&G Dolce and Gabbana Multi-zipper Jeweled Messenger Bag (geez, what a mouthful) a messenger bag at all, I think it’s an interesting take on a conventional style. Dotted with jewels and studs galore, this deep cognac leather handbag definitely stands out! But do we like the Southwestern flavor? I’m not sure about that. Also, five compartments? What exactly do you need that many for? It’s a little fuddy-duddy ...
Lauren Merkin clutches are the go-to for the girl on a budget. Why? They’re fabulously made, pack tons of style, and don’t kill our bank account unlike several clutches that run well into the four figures. This one retails for $250 at shopbop.com, and it’s the ideal year round clutch. The Lucy Patent Clutch from Lauren Merkin is great to have on hand any day of the year, and it will also be the one that every one of ...
Easily putting other clutches to shame, this elegant Bottega Veneta Butterfly Knot is an artistic, graceful purse with a huge presence. The simple butterfly design and knot clasp are done in aged brass, which is a perfect partner for the blush-toned leather. This solid clutch feels surprisingly luxurious to the touch, and its old world charm is just irresistible. The equally lovely Farfalle Knot features a slightly different knot clasp and a simple ivory hue. Both are available for ...
Victoria Beckham took her 3 boys to the Getty Museum with pal Kate Beckinsale & family on Easter Sunday. David, unfortunately, was not there, but Posh and her brood are already on their way to join him in England. Victoria dressed in muted tones with a tan dress, nude heels and a complimenting Michael Kors Rehearsal Drawstring Satchel. The purse is a python one, accented with gold hardware. While I love Victoria’s style and am ...
