I really hope snake skin patchwork bags are not what’s haute this fall. But it seems like ever since Beyonce was spotted with the Dolce & Gabbana Miss Pocket Patchwork Snakeskin Satchel, the trend began. The D&G tote is made of multicolored snakeskin patches with zigzag topstitching and suede trim. The Ghibli Multicolor Patchwork Python Tote bag is made of handcrafted python leather ...

You can always count on 3.1 Phillip Lim for sleek, clean lines and unique styles. The 3.1 Phillip Lim 'Lotte' handbag is no exception. This gray leather satchel is embossed with small-to-large horizontal stripes of textured leather, giving the bag a velvety look. The top handles are top stitched in a tonal grey and the rounded top zips closed. I love that the hardware is an atypical black ...

I never thought I of all people would have trouble finding/picking a bag but for months I’ve been looking for a tote bag for work days. But everything I’ve found is either frumpy or ridiculously priced. I mean really, it is just a tote bag. But still I search, hoping to find something fabulously priced and simply fabulous. And then I stumbled upon the python Carlos Falchi Barbarella ...

Christina Milian‘s outfit may have been a poor choice but her bag was on point! She’s carrying the Marc Jacobs Collection Fluo Quilted Stam in fluorescent pink. The bag is made of quilted goatskin and comes with dual leather top handles along with a removable nylon shoulder strap. Even though I’ve never been a huge fan of the ‘Stam’, I adore the unexpected burst of pink, ...

I was never a Marc Jacobs girl. I just couldn’t get into the Quilted Stam bags and turnlock totes. But the MARC by Marc Jacobs line is another story. The handbags are quirky and kooky, much like the designer, but I kinda like them. MJ’s Dr. Q Shorty lookes a bit like a squashed pink croissant with top handles but there’s something about it that makes me keep staring. The dual handles ...

I knew Sergio Rossi made sexy shoes but who knew he made sexy bags too? The Sergio Rossi – Bowler Blade Runner in Argilla) is absolutely lustworthy and has just made its way on my it list for fall. The description on Zappos’ website calls it ‘heart-stopping’ and I swear my heart skipped a beat when I first saw it. It’s big, it’s baaad, and it’s boss. This ...

I first fell in love with Anya Hindmarch‘s handbags a few years ago on a trip to Los Angeles. A friend and I went shopping on the famed Robertson Boulevard where we saw Lindsay Lohan (a story for another day). Anyway, we visited the Anya store and my friend wound up buying two bags and has been in love with Anya ever since. I didn’t buy any that day (what was I thinking?) but I also fell ...

Botkier is the latest handbag label to do a line at Target. The collection is now available in stores and online and I have to say it’s the best one I’ve seen at Target as of yet. I’m not really into PVC bags – I really prefer good quality leather and the occasional skin – but if you’re not willing to shell out hundreds of dollars for an original Botkier, then this ...

After looking at so many images of handbags all the time, I’m surprised I can still tell the difference between all of them! But when I saw this Zac Posen Handbags Madison Bag, I knew immediately that I had ‘seen it before’. Alexis Hudson’s ‘Hera’ looks almost exactly the same. I’m not sure who designed it first, but one definitely looks inspired by the other. ...

Diva Kimora Lee Simmons was spotted after causing commotion on a passenger flight looking angry but stylish as always. The Baby Phat / Phat Farm President claims to favor her own brands but she’s always spotted with some other luxury designer bags. Though Versace clothes are a fave of mine, their handbags are less than desirable, but Kimora seems to love her Versace Quilted Snap Out Of It Satchel. ...

In my mind, Tory Burch is my cool friend who dresses great all the time, takes me shopping and lets me raid her closet, full of pieces she designed. I’m really loving her neo classic style – it’s like modern day Polo Ralph Lauren but for the younger, hipper, chic-er set. The Tory Burch ‘Happy’ Chain Strap Hobo is really the only bag you need for Fall. The tri-colored ...

I love the fashion industry. Just when you start to get immersed in the fashions of one season they start to bring out new styles for the next season to tempt you all over again. Although the color palettes for Fall typically aren’t as fun as Spring and Summer, I love the rich colors of Fall accessories, like caramel patent leather. Lately I’ve been less than impressed with new Gustto ...

It’s been a long time since I’ve coveted a Donna Karan handbag. But her Zodiac collection has caught my eye. The collection of handbags are named after different astrological signs, and her designs have stepped up quite a bit. Though I’m a Cancer, my favorite is the ‘Modern Aries’ Messenger Bag. It has a rough, biker feel to it, with zippers to expand the gusset and which ...

Blake Lively, star of my favorite show, Gossip Girl was spotted on set with co-star and cutie Penn Badgeley filming the new season. Though I love the show’s accurate portrayal of catty, spoiled rich high-school girls, I really watch for the fashion. This show is like a mini Sex and the City, with almost as much sex but just as much in the fashion department, particularly between Blake (Serena) ...
