I have the same New Year’s resolution every year – join the gym. But it either never happens or I do the week long trial and never go back. So this year I decided I would join in December so maybe that would make me more likely to go. Or maybe if I bought a great gym bag, that would light a fire under my lazy butt! Being the bagaholic that I am, I’m going for option two. And I’ve ...

I’m loving maroon/red/burgundy colored bags for the fall and winter. The rich, deep red hues add a nice burst of color but not so bright that it looks harsh. At first glance, I was taken with this Marni Triangle slouchy hobo. When viewed from the side, the bag has some appeal with its gathered side seams and brick red colored leather. But straight on, the bag is a bit strange. The triangle shape ...

Once again, I am a bit annoyed with celebrities carrying extra large bags on the red carpet. Red carpet looks should be reserved for petite clutches and minaudieres. But in my eyes, Lady O can really do whatever she wants, and whatever bag she’s carrying, on or off the red carpet is sure to redefine red carpet style. Oprah‘s Fendi Doctor style tote looks extra chic alongside her buckled ...

At 50 years old, Madonna‘s still got it! The Material Girl was personally selected by Marc Jacobs to be the face of the newest Louis Vuitton advertising campaign. After recently attending a Madonna concert, MJ was moved and ‘blown away by her energy’, so he text messaged her via Blackberry asking her to do it. Her response? “I’d love to.” Shot by Steven Meisel, ...

While I will never understand some celebrities’ obsession with carrying large Louis Vuitton bags on the red carpet, it doesn’t diminish my love for the brand. R&B singer Monica was spotted at the recent ‘Dirty Awards’ show, rocking the Louis Vuitton Embossed Large Leather Tote Bag from the Fall/Winter 2008-2009 collection. The bag features cognac calf leather embossed with ...

It seems like I can’t go more than a few days without drooling over another metallic bag. Who said this trend was over?! The Stephane Verdino Metallic Leather Large Tote is hot – and I should have it. Now! This large (24½” X 17″ X 7″), triangular shaped tote is made of silver leather and has double handles that are ‘pinched’ at the top and extend down the ...

Yves St. Laurent doesn’t venture out too much when it comes to handbag design but the few silhouettes they do have definitely have staying power. The Small Downtown Tote is one of my favorites and this new blue version is incredible! I love the casual look of it even though it’s such a luxe handbag. Navy bags are the new black and this tote combines the ombre / degrade trend with the navy ...

Zac Posen is by far one of my (and most other women’s) favorite designers, and for good reason. His dress silhouettes embrace and enhance a woman’s natural shape and his handbags have been, for the most part, stunning. But as much as I try, I just can’t seem to embrace this bag. With a name like the Sistine Draped Satchel, I would expect a beautiful work of art. Instead, all I’m ...

I’m always amazed at how some things can be so simple, yet so chic. The Flash Parallelogram Clutch by Sang A. is really nothing more than your average boxy clutch, yet it is so much more. This mathematically inspired geometric bag is utterly cool thanks to its unique parallelogram shape. The silver mirrored calf leather is the perfect choice for this already edgy clutch. It has a visible magnetic ...

It’s been a while since I’ve ‘j’adored a Dior’. The last time I can remember truly loving one was when I purchased the blue logo canvas saddle bag that was popular back in the early 2000′s and more recently, some of the bags in the Dior Samurai collection. Other than that, I’ve been fairly unimpressed with the brand – most of their bags over the past few ...

Marc Jacobs is one of those designers that seems to really like to have fun with things, and not take himself too seriously, especially when it comes to his Marc by Marc Jacobs line. The Strippy Zippy Hobo is one product of his youthful energy that he puts into designing. Everything from the choice of the orange-y melon color, to the front multi-zippered pockets to the strips of diagonal leather trim ...

As Christmas and New Year’s Eve quickly approach, I find myself looking at more and more sparkly evening bags. I do have a few parties to attend and likely will just buy a new dress and shoes and carry one of my evening bags I have yet to use but it doesn’t hurt to look, right? The Loubounight Laminato Clutch by Christian Louboutin is one that caught my eye. Luminous champagne-colored ...
