Karen Zambos is best known for her carefree bohemian clothing which she calls “Vintage Couture”, but last year she partnered with longtime friend Lisa Siega to launch a modern yet retro handbag line. My favorite is the Zambos & Siega Full Moon Tote (available at shopbop.com) which is a fresh take on a handheld satchel. The half moon handles are quite mod but the rest of the bag is ...

If you’re thinking about doing a romantic getaway for Valentine’s Day, now is a great time to start shopping for a new bag. Why? Because you don’t want him to whisk you away while you’re carrying that dirty old duffel bag from college or some boring black overnighter. The Longchamp Rodeo Luxe is the perfect size for a weekend trip, the purple cracked patent leather gives a ...

I love Anya Hindmarch, I really do. She can just do no wrong. When other designers try to flash back to the past, it often turns out horribly wrong but I love her cute little retro Clint Day Bag. It’s a cream colored calfskin shoulder bag with a pop of orange leather on the handle and front flap. An off-center metallic gold strap and buckle gives it a super-mod feel. The colors and style of ...

Interested in combating the signs of aging? The Beauty Counter found a great weapon to aid in the fight. Fashionably Cute  dug around and found out even stilettos at the beach can be fashionable. Your significant other will appreciate Diva In A Carry On’s suggestion for the perfect Valentine’s Day gift. Pink Rock Candy rocks our world with stylish, unique and rocker-chic tees ...

I’m always looking forward to Spring. The colors are so much brighter than those dreary Fall & Winter colors and the bonus is knowing that hot Summer weather is just around the corner! But what I love most are the Spring bags! And I simply adore this canary-yellow/vanilla-colored Zac Posen Zac Sac shoulder bag. The color is gorgeous and very Spring-y, and the construction, like all of Zac ...

These days it’s all about going ‘green’ and the latest designer to join the cause is Diane von Furstenburg. If you can’t afford one of her signature wrap dresses, you can certainly afford this handbag. Priced at $65, the “Go Green” Canvas Tote is affordable, eco-friendly (it’s made of certified organic cotton), and it’s a limited edition she personally ...

The House of Louis Vuitton never ceases to amaze me with all of the different ways they can stretch the LV logo. Just when you think it gets old, there’s a new group of handbags covered in the logo, yet they all seem to look different and new. Anyway, R&B songstress Ciara and MTV VJ LaLa were spotted at a game rockin’ matching Louis Vuitton Monogram Shearling bags (and similar overall ...

One of my all time favorite fashion magazines, W, is now online at Wmagazine.com. I love W for their artistic spreads and fashion news that you won’t read anywhere else. W is the magazine for the serious, die-hard fashionista! Anyway, to celebrate the launch of the website, W and Saks Fifth Avenue are giving away four designer ‘It’ bags (valued at over $11,000)! One lucky reader ...

I just love a big slouchy bag. Even though the weight of my bags have been causing me to practically tip over, (since I stuff everything inside), I will never give up on carrying big bags. And a big slouchy bag just looks so carefree, like you just threw on your favorite jeans and T-shirt, and slung the bag over your shoulder. The Maison Martin Margiela Large Satin Sac Bag ($745) is just right for ...

As much as I love to give, I love to receive, so I was thrilled to be selected by My Fashion Life as the winner of their Ignes Bag Giveaway! I won the Veronica Max Clutch in Soft gold (pictured above). I’ve been a fan of Ignes since I featured their Romy Clutch on What’s Haute a few months ago, and this Veronica Clutch forever seals my love for the brand. The bag is a soft oversized clutch ...

Some time ago I attended an accessories tradeshow which was mostly full of disappointing mass market handbag designers and jewelry vendors. I was looking for haute new designers and most of the collections I saw lacked creativity. However there were a few ‘ones to watch’. And one of those designers was Los Angeles based Laura Matthews. I immediately fell in love with her bags. They were ...

You know you’ve truly reached ‘It’ girl status when Marc Jacobs begins designing bags in your name. Marc Jacobs just designed two new bags named after the pop star. The Marc Jacobs Collection Large Metallic Rihanna Bag ($1,650) and the Marc Jacobs Collection Large Rihanna Bag ($2,075) are the latest in MJ’s collection. Both of the metallic leather bags have short rolled leather ...

I’m a huge fan of art – particularly modern, impressionist, and surrealist. I love spending a Saturday or Sunday afternoon in a museum and even like to purchase prints of some of my favorite pieces. However, I hate to see famous artwork plastered on an umbrella or cheesy canvas tote bag (like this. It just irks me. But original art on a chic bag is a different story. The Marni Slouchy ...

Somehow I knew that when I started singing the praises of Fendi, it wouldn’t take long before they started churning out crap bags again. What the fug is this? I am so disgusted I don’t even know where to begin. The Fendi Peacock Evening “To You” Bag ($1,680) is definitely not “For Me”. There’s simulated peacock feathers, plus metallic leather, plus jeweled ...
