It’s official. In the same way I tried to will away skinny jeans and the return of the black tights circa 1980, I must now submit to the fashion powers that be on the staying power of the mega designer oversized clutch that is being carried by mega stars. I love fashion and style and try not to hide from new trends, but I also like function and I must be honest, clutches do not carry well in ...
Name that Purse
Fergie kills me with some of the get-ups she calls outfits. Of course all black is always the way to go, especially when you’re hanging with the fashion crowd. Backstage at the BCBG show, Fergie sported black relaxed trousers, a tough black leather jacket, and the superstar favorite: pitch black shades that keep you from going blind when the photogs are after you. That leaves us with Fergie’s monstrous black bag (a bit big for toting into a show, no?). ...
Apparently Hilary Duff heeded the call of the wild on a recent outing, as evidenced by her cream and dark brown zebra-print hobo bag, which added a nice contrast to her beige camisole. Yes, some might find a large printed purse like this to be a bit too funky or impractical, but safari chic is very big this season. I give Hilary props for trying the trend out, and looking great doing it.
Can you spill the beans on the ...
It’s moving day, but that didn’t stop newlywed Katherine Heigl from bringing out the designer handbag gear. Here she is riding shotgun in sweats and jeans while one very sleek and elegant camel-colored leather handbag takes the driver’s seat. It’s a lovely bag - though not necessarily something I’d tote on a day when I’m lugging furniture and boxes around - and one that I’d love to see Katherine pair with one of her signature belted sweaters and tall ...
This stylish bag Vanessa Hudgens carries is quickly becoming one of “the” bags to have this season. The line is relatively new and has not historically put out consistently fabulous bags, but somehow this year has been its coming out party! This style of bag has adorned the arm of many celebrity fashionistas and now can be seen on the arm of chic city dwellers on Madison Avenue just as frequently as Botkier or Chloe. This handbag ...
Her style’s been a bit hit or miss in recent years (i.e., too-short bangs, a Ginger Rogers ‘do at the Emmys), but Patricia Arquette looks terrific in this BuzzFoto snap. Of course, a funky designer purse like this snakeskin beauty doesn’t hurt either. This isn’t an everyday bag by any means, but I’m digging the handbag’s black, white, and gray color scheme and whipstitched trim and handle. Can you name the designer?

Mary-Kate Olsen’s usually wearing lots of black (see photo above), but this time she decided to add a bold shock of yellow to her outfit. While the dissheveled look doesn’t do much for me, I’m loving the cheery but hip jolt of color this stylish purse adds - not to mention the gathered material, open top, and gold trim. Does it go with her outfit perfectly? No. Do we care? Not really. But what I really want to know is…who’s ...
Thank God - Jenny McCartney finally lost ditched that not-so-flattering Fendi Crossword Purse. Instead, she’s upgraded to this cheerful blue patent handbag. Though bright colors and a patent finish are big trends this season, and I love the bag itself, I’m not sure it really goes with Jenny’s stark black and white outfit. Ah well…she’ll get there. (If you want this purse, try pairing it with jeans and a white top.)
But enough about Jenny … who’s the ...
It’s official: If I could swap closets with anyone on the planet, it’d have to be Katie Holmes, hands down. Just her arsenal of fab handbags alone is worth the trade. Take a look at this midnight blue snakeskin beauty. The purse is an edgy choice (definitely not for everyday) but it’s, in a word, hot (and elegant, and glamorous). You just know Suri’s dying to get her hands on that one someday.
Any guesses on the designer?

After the Dallas Cowboys (helmed by her boyfriend Tony Romo) lost to the New York Giants last night, Jessica Simpson may want to go into hiding from angry sports fans. But she was stepping out with a fancy new purse before the game, and I’m curious to see if you guys can name the bag’s designer. This roomy handbag comes in a textured pumpkin-colored leather, with black trim and side compartments. Any guesses?

Pregnancy is certainly suiting Halle Berry, who looks as chic as ever in her black knit top with jeans. And what’s this ever so stylish handbag she’s using to distract from her pronounced baby bump? The roomy ostrich leather purse is in a lovely sage green hue, with little gold details and small pouches on each end. It’s a real beauty … but can you name the designer?

You know a celebrity is preggers when she starts carrying bigger and bigger purses. Jessica Alba’s even got two oversized handbags on her in this pic, but and I’m quite taken with the large brown leather number. The smooth, unadorned leather is practical yet appealing, and should come in handy once Jessica starts toting around diapers and pacifiers. Can you name the designer?

What is it with Paris Hilton and ugly tights? Her stripey fishnets ruin a cute (for her) black and white houndstooth mini dress, though I am kind of digging the sparkly gold leather purse she’s carrying. It’s perfectly Paris - flashy, spotlight-stealing, and ultra-trendy. The boxy bag features matching gold hardware and a hanging gold chain, plus braided leather handles. Can you name the designer?

You can take the girl out of Pete Doherty’s arms, but you can’t take the Pete Doherty out of her style. Kate Moss was looking mighty scruffy as she headed off for a holiday getaway, but her oversized black handbag did catch my eye. The slick leather is tres hip, and the bag’s jumbo size makes it perfect for traveling (especially if your clothes are all tiny size zeros, like Kate). I’m not feeling the unkempt outfit, but I could ...
