Since I recently went on a business trip, and have several more to come, I’ve been checking out more and more luxury luggage. I’ve always been a snob when it comes to handbags and purses, but I never really cared much about luggage. But now, the options are getting so good that I’ve been looking at luggage and even considering using the bags as everyday carryalls too. I recently ...

For those of you who don’t know, that term is used for the point where a good TV show goes bad. For example, once the producers kill off an important character or change a critical storyline, the show usually goes down the tubes. I think the same can be said in fashion, or at least it should be. I have been very satisfied with Gustto’s trademark slouchy bags with large studs. And they ...

With a name like Thickskin, you expect heavy duty, sturdy leather bags. And that’s just what you get. Thickskin’s bags are made of textured, scarred leathers and exotic skins that are beautiful, yet durable and tough. I’m a fan of Thickskin’s use of metallics in their Classic Collection. Since metallics have become a favorite for every season, these bags fits the bill. The ...

Now this blog is mainly reserved for haute handbags and purses, with the occasional fugly one, and some fabulous fashion. But leave it to Fendi to make me stray from my usual and report on the fugliest, most impractical designer shoes ever to walk the face of this earth. I ask once again, WTF FENDI??? I think someone at the House of Fendi is playing some cruel tricks on the fashion world, consistently ...

Though his overall style may be questionable, his handbag is to die for. After my Gucci letdown, and my recent disappointments in Fendi, I’ve been checking out Louis Vuitton to fulfill some of my luxury needs. I have wanted to buy the Monogram Canvas ‘Speedy’ for several years now but it seems like EVERYONE and their mother owns one, and if I’m going to pay over $600 for one, ...

I just came back from a business trip in Palm Springs, CA – I know, lucky me . The weather was gorgeous – almost 90 degrees and sunny. I’m a typical girl when I travel – I pack way too many clothes, shoes, and accessories, and since it was a business trip, I had to pack my laptop too. I have a few of those typical shoulder bags for my computer but I hate them because they ...

I love this bag. It’s small, it’s sleek and it’s sexy. And it’s surprising. When I think of Tod’s bags, I tend to think of Tod’s shoes – pebbled leather body with a pebbled rubber sole. At first glance, I didn’t even recognize this as a Tod’s product. The ‘New Girelli’ ($875) is a cool clutch that would work with just about anything. ...

Who else but La Lopez could show up for jury duty looking uberly fabulous? Jennifer Lopez was spotted rockin’ casual chic as only she knows how. She manages to make an extra-long cardigan, oversized sunglasses, and baggy jeans look haute, but the best part of her look of course, is the bag. J. Lo, always a fashion trendsetter, is toting one of Katherine Kwei’s luxury knotted handbags. ...

Despite the absence of Spring-like weather, I’m still starting my Spring/Summer shopping. I’m always on the lookout for cute beach bags or colorful carry-all totes. Sheila D. has a bunch of great reversible corduroy tote bags in eye-popping Spring colors. These handmade bags are of great quality, and are adorable and practical. My favorites are the ‘Pomegranate – Red Lines’ ...
