In the ever-growing field of handbag design, it’s always nice to come across a fresh collection full of classic, wearable pieces that don’t follow trends, but instead, allow you to set your own. I first had the opportunity to preview some of Joanna Maxham‘s Fall 2009 collection while judging a recent “Rock the Look” fashion event held at Shoegasm. (That’s me pictured ...

Hilary Duff is set to appear on the upcoming season of Gossip Girl. She was spotted filming on set with Blake Lively (Serena Van der Woodsen), Chace Crawford (Nate Archibald) and Penn Badgeley (Dan Humphrey). She wore a floral print sundress and flaunted a turquoise Mulberry Mitzy Hobo while smooching Badgeley. No word on whether or not her role is a one-time deal or recurring but I wonder how this ...

Rihanna was spotted on the streets again, doing her usual – nothing. The sidewalk strutting singer wore a black tank and cutoff shorts and this time she switched up her bag from her usual Alexander Wang wardrobe to a Chanel. She worked the Chanel Lambskin Flap Handbag in black with a a long chain strap and further accessorized with brown oxford shoes and a tightly clutched green folder. What’s ...

Celebrities like Lauren Conrad and Rihanna love their CC SKYE jewelry but the CC SKYE handbag collection has some pretty covetable pieces too. The CC SKYE Bridgette Chain Strap Turn Lock shoulder bag is one particular standout, with its ‘fringe’ chain detail hanging from the single shoulder strap. It’s clearly a party bag, I mean you wouldn’t want to wear this to work, unless, ...

Wondering what kind of bag a ‘Shopaholic‘ carries? Well it’s a Coach! Confessions of a Shopaholic star Isla Fisher was spotted carrying the new Parker Slim Tote by Coach ($358), in a spring-like in mauve color. But the bag is actually from Coach’s Fall/Winter ’09 collection. She also sported the brand’s Geralynn sandals from Spring 2009. The Coach Parker handbag ...

The Fashionable Housewife found the most most effective deodorant and offers some summer tips for beautiful arms. A Few Goody Gumdrops loves the Nars Bridal Pallete and Orgasm Blush for your Wedding! Being High Maintenance, not Bitchy ...

One of the must-have clutches of the Fall season is hands down, the Alexander McQueen Faithful Glove Clutch. The bag was inspired by Marianne Faithfull but I love that it looks like a throwback to Michael Jackson. Hilary Duff carried the clutch last week to the Charlotte Ronson and J.C. Penney celebration of the launch of Charlotte Ronson‘s ‘I Heart Ronson’ clothing line. But she ...

No celebrity can match Rihanna‘s fashion right now. This girl’s style game looks simply effortless. Sure she has a stylist to pull pieces for her and put her looks together but she pulls off pretty much any and everything she wears. The girl about town was spotted in a tan vest, ripped jeans, and fringed boots and wearing the higly coveted shades – the Love / Hate convertible chain-strap ...

Christina Milian was spotted arriving to her hotel in Manhattan yesterday looking a lot more fabulous than she did with that tacky bleached blonde hair. The now brunette singer wore a haute leather biker jacket (even though it was HOT in NYC yesterday), black jeans, a tangled necklace and white tee, red pumps and a brand new Fall bag. Any guesses? more…  Read More →

I don’t really equate the name Kelly Osbourne with the word fashion, but she tends to carry some cutting-edge bags that pique my interest. She recently went to the Nokia Skate Almighty launch in London, England in an ‘interesting’ get-up paired with the Alexander McQueen large Faithful Hobo. I’m personally more partial to the Alexander McQueen Faithful Glove Clutch that is ...

I’ve loved Kooba handbags pretty much since their inception, so when I received the Kooba Alex tote from the Fall 09/10 collection, I was thrilled! My chat with Kooba designer and creative director Abbe Held is soon to come, but for now I’ll tell you all you need to know about this must-have bag! I received the aubergine (plum) color – the bag also comes in black and cognac. The ...

The Jack Rabbit Collection is an award winning line of handbags and belts, handmade in California, and designer Mollie Culligan really thinks about what women want and injects that into all aspects of her designs. The collections are never big but the few pieces she creates are all standouts. My fave last year was the Concord Tote and now she’s back with another hit – The Jack Rabbit Collection ...

Between Rihanna and Amber Rose, Alexander Wang never has to pay for publicity again. The two ladies seem to put on their own personal fashion shows on the streets of New York, Los Angeles and Miami, day after day, and a lot of their wardrobes seem to be designed by Alexander Wang. Amber Rose in particular is starting to get a bit of a Kanye complex – with her frequent ‘candid’ ...
