Would You Pay $30,000 for a Coach?

HAMPTONS ALLIGATOR LARGE CARRYON, $30,000 A good friend of mine is totally addicted to Coach – bags, shoes, accessories – you name it. We were perusing the website today and discovered that Coach has two new bags priced at $30,000 and $20,000. Now I’m a firm believer in buying a good quality bag and I own two leather Coach bags that have stood the test of time, but I can’t ...

Haute Off the Runway – Olga Kapustina

Indie designer Olga Kapustina transformed swimwear into ready-to-wear with her Spring 2008 collection. Pieces consisted of solid bright color blocks, and silhouettes were bathing-suit inspired, with bandeau-style tops, form fitting bodices, and full skirts reminiscent of bikini bottom skirts. Models wore matching fabrics on their head, to resemble swim caps. Check out more of the collection here  Read More →

Gloria

Resident Evil: Extinction opened in theaters this weekend and the mish-mashed cast (R&B singer Ashanti, actress Ali Larter, comedian Mike Epps and more), the fact that it’s based on a video game, and the not-so-great reviews made it not quite worth spending my Saturday night in the theater. One redeeming quality of the film, however is Milla Jovovich, the star of the film, who is someone ...

MCM’s Eighties Throwback Bag

I may be dating myself but when I was in high school, MCM bags were haute. In fact, MCM was so popular that all the cool girls owned at least one bag, and the cool guys were getting the MCM logo custom printed on their ragtops. MCM has recently re-launched its line of bags, and I’m glad to see they maintained the style that made them hot, but with an added modern twist. The Medium Boston Duffle ...

The Color Purple

Purple is once again the ‘It’ color for Fall and there’s no better color to incorporate into your wardrobe. However, if you want to avoid looking like Grimace, its best to stick to a few key accessories, namely handbags. And there’s no purple bag better than the Bijoux Medium Shoulder Bag by Bliss Lau. It’s a great slouchy hobo with a front flap, piped edges, and Lau’s ...

Anya Hindmarch’s Bag from Hell

I’ve always loved Anya Hindmarch’s cheeky totes. She’s one of the few accessories designers that can create something unusual without it looking less than high fashion. Even her recent low priced ‘I am not a plastic bag’ bag has had monumental success and high fashion appeal. One of her latest cheeky handbags caught my eye; the ‘Hell’ bag – a tote made ...

Burberry Gets Knighted

I love when a luxury designer can recognize that its claim to fame is getting old and then comes up with something fresh and new. As ‘classic’ and ‘timeless’ as they are, I was getting tired of the Burberry check bags. So I was thrilled to see a recent magazine ad full of punk style and edginess, so much so that it took me a second to even realize it was Burberry. Creative ...
